In the Owen Hart memorial tournament, Darby Allin jumps off a ladder outside the ring, on Jeff Hardy who is lying on a pile of chairs.

Because the best way to honor Owen is by falling off something really high and risking your life. For fuck's sake someone should have thought that through.

Did they have some sort of platform that they were on that would cushion the fall? Otherwise...yikes.

I was surprised that Hulu had WWE Raw/Smackdown/NXT.

I hope AEW ends up on HBO Max so I can have full access to all the wrestling shows...(not that I have the time to watch them lol)

Yeah Raw has been on Hulu for a while. They do cut some stuff out for time, but Raw is too long anyway, so it works.

AEW not being on a streaming service is the biggest thing against it. AEW tends to put bigger stuff on their TV show, but still makes me want to watch less if I'm not going to buy the PPVs and see the ultimate payoff to a lot of the feuds. And there's no way in hell I'm paying 50 bucks for any wrestling show. If their stuff was on a streaming service, you'd get a lot of people who are more casual or curious checking it out.

As for the spot, nope, no pad, off the top of a ladder onto Jeff who was sprawled across like 8 chairs. I for one don't think that was the way to honor Owen. I'm sure nobody intended any offense, but like I said, they should have thought it through. And, even aside from that, I think it's a ridiculously dangerous spot to do. Looked cool though, I'll give them that.
