Tony Khan Responds To Fans Outraged By Bleacher Report Outage
AEW Revolution came at fans on March 3rd, and the response was pretty good for Sting's retirement event. We have no idea how many fans tuned into BR Live to see the event, but it broke the site.
Brandon Thurston noted on Twitter/X that, "Many many tweets from people saying they paid for the AEW PPV on Bleacher Report but are unable to stream it." Tons of fans were commenting, and they are not happy.
AEW Revolution is a $50 event, and Tony Khan's company plans to put on even more pay-per-view events in 2024, with 9 looking like a sweet spot. Hopefully, BR Live can fix their issues, because tons of fans are upset about the fact that they paid to see Sting wrestle in his final match, but the show didn't air for them.
Midway through the entrances for the scramble match, the screen went to a blank graphic, and only played the audio of the event. This was not a good look for BR Live at all.
They did not address any technical problems during commentary, as the show carries on. Tony Khan can't be happy about the fact that so many fans were not able to pay for the event that his company produced tonight.
TK sent out a post on Twitter/X during AEW Revolution. He thanked all of the fans who ordered the pay-per-view, and he assured fans that BR Live has fixed their issue. Of course, fans were experiencing multiple issues, due to the website's overflow. Hopefully, the rest of the show will go smoother.
