    They had some good matches on the card, the World Title Semis and Finals might have got some people back on board. The first half of the card was flawless.

    Second half was a disaster...and its not like you missed much of anything...but it hiccuped for me a few times during the title match. Can't be doing that.

      I think i'm officially done with iPPV unless it's USTREAM. I already towel threw Evolve, and ROH gets the VOD out way too late after spoilers have already made the rounds. I can't stay off the internet for three days, that's totally unreasonable. If they could get the shows up within 24 hours, they could probably have my money.

      Giving up DGUSA won't be easy, but i'll force myself to skip the next round of shows and I think it'll be easier after that. Especially now that the far superior Dragon Gate Japan is on USTREAM.

        Do you know what the costs are associated with using USTREAM? I mean, I don't understand why these little companies won't use USTREAM when you have big boys like New Japan and DG using them.

          FUW uses USTREAM, so it can't be that cost prohibitive.

          Also, Fed broke down the various packages on another forum, and it looked to me like New Japan was making a killing based on the rates. They had a "gold" package for $999 per year or something. They make that back on one show.

            A company like ROH would also be able to make that back on one show.

            Pretty shameful that they just can't get it right after so long.

              Outside of AR Fox v. Ricochet on Night 2...neither event looks worth the trouble.

                  Pete Austin and Ron Bass are two scalawags that jump people from behind that need the meanness squeezed out of them.

                  Damn, Brutus Beefcake was an awful promo.

                      Kenny Omega is the best.

                        I'll post the graphic tomorrow when I get to work. Any of these companies could easily afford it. There's just a monthy cost involved so they'd pretty much have to put a show on there every month ala NJPW

                                Well I just did a screen shot from uStream lol but yeah, there's no reason most indys couldn't get at the very least Gold. Also YouTube Live allows basically anyone to stream for free (only ad supported). I'm assuming YTLive is way more stable than GFL, WWNLive or any of these other fly-by-night websites.
