Fightful Select Pricing Update

Since launching Fightful Select in 2018, our goal has always been simple:

Deliver the best, most reliable, and fastest wrestling news and exclusive content — at the most affordable price in the industry.

For eight years, we kept our monthly subscription cost far below the market, even as our competitors increased their prices, staff received well-deserved raises, hosting, video, and website infrastructure costs rose and we expanded the amount of content and features we offer

When we started at $5/month, our competitors were all priced significantly higher. Even after raising to $5.99 last year — our first increase since launching — we were still the most affordable option by a wide margin.

Today, our competitors charge as much as $14.99 per month. We remain committed to staying below everyone else while continuing to grow and improve the service, while being the only wrestling website to bring you daily exclusive news and original reporting.

What’s Changing

Beginning on January 15, 2026, our monthly subscription price will become $7.99.

This isn't something that we take lightly, and we understand that paying for wrestling content is a luxury and not a necessity, especially these days.

The increase helps ensure we can continue:

Providing the most consistent breaking news and inside reporting

Paying our team fairly for the work they put in every day. Not just on Fightful Select, but on podcasts, verifying and breaking news, and transcribing the quotes that you see across dozens of wrestling pages, even outside of Fightful.

Maintaining and expanding our website, video, and podcast infrastructure – including the launch of WrestleVotes LIVE and Wrestlevotes Radio, exclusively on Fightful Select.

Delivering more content than ever without sacrificing quality.

We're also adding content. Sean Ross Sapp will be hosting new monthly shows. You will get an exclusive "SRS 10" show, where you watch along 10/10 rated matches along with him and he gives you exclusive details he's learned about these historic matches. In addition, he'll be hosting an exclusive predictions and preview show ahead of every PLE. Jeremy Lambert will also be hosting a monthly show, name TBD. In all, between December and January, we're adding over a dozen new monthly shows.

Even with this adjustment, Fightful Select will still be the lowest-priced service in our space, while offering what we firmly believe is the best overall value. We are hopeful that this will be the price for years to come, even permanently if SRS has his way.

We’ll also offer a discounted annual rate of $71.88 per year which equals $5.99 per month – the monthly price we currently charge.

Plus, if you subscribe to our annual plan between now and January 15th, you can lock in our current discounted annual rate and be covered for a year! The second tier (primarily for early access to our interviews and specials) will remain the same price.

Thank You

This change allows us to keep pushing forward, growing, and giving you the coverage and content you deserve.

If you have any questions, we’re always here to help. We also encourage your feedback. We've made this the most interactive platform of its kind, so we specifically seek out the news you wish to cover.

UPDATE: There was an error from patreon that reflected an incorrect annual price. The correct, reduced amount has been reflected. We're working with Patreon to make sure this is rectified for our subscribers. Thank you for understanding!

Still the best 8 bucks in the business!

Patrick Farrugia

Okay but that SRS 10 show sounds like a good time

Hunter

That new SRS show sounds like a blast, can’t wait!

fightful

SRS here -- Jimmy wrote the majority of that, but I want to let you all know how much I appreciate you. I fought the paywall in general, and fought the increases. I think you all also see me fighting to protect our content. I will do my best to make sure this it our last price increase at all

Ian Henry

The SRS 10 show sounds like it's going to be a blast

Scott George

I'm sure people like me won't be thinking about the price once the new year starts. Still cheaper than a cup of Starbucks. I just hope the price increase helps get Jeremy's Ring of Hallucinations off the ground. I still miss The Weekender though. Lol.

zach6844

with the increase of the annual, i will sadly be cancelling my sub due to personal financial stuff, thanks for all news and shows!

Brad Woodard

You've been announcing it for a while and with Wrestlevotes coming in, it makes sense. Still an overall great value.

Email from Patreon direct minutes after this says the annual rate going forward will be $86.30. The difference between that & what is reported in this post isn't going to break me personally, but should probably be cleared up either way.

Paul Komoroski

I'm already on annual. The message from Patreon says my annual will renew at the new price of 86.30. Should I cancel and then re-subscribe on annual to get the 71.88?

OddBreakfast

I'm not trippin but the new SRS show does sound good

Troy A Palek

Definitely worth it. I'll do what I can to keep it. Probably will not have it every month but finances are what they are

fightful

We are aware of the annual price issue and are fixing it

Stalla

When it hits $10 I’m out.

Amy L

Definitely worth it for my husband and I, thanks for everything you all do!

Steve

You guys have saved me enough money by recommending Nord VPN for WWE & AEW. So I gotta stick around for another year.

Chris Combs

I spend more time listening to Fightful Select than I do watching TV..can't do without the Sour Graps shows or Dynamite reviews..I'll keep paying and yall keep being awesome and we're good

John Witte

I will still be here supporting Fightful Select

Justmask

Damnit Jimmy (jokes aside, I'll be here through and through)

Pete Cody

Price increases are never fun, but the nice thing is that with the price increase comes more content. At the end of the day with commerce either prices go up for the same stuff or you get less for the same money. Prices went up here but we are getting more so it is what it is. I already locked in the annual sub.

Internet Signups

Ok. It's still fait but... Will that remove all the popups now on the regular site? I am at my end with every click generating a pop-up. That could be deciding factor for me honestly.

Caleb Morgan

Hopefully after this year it doesn't go up again in the next 2 years (since this is two hikes in two years). I'm fine with it tho since you guys actually pay your folks and employ some great people.

Robbie Wray

The best $7.99 in the business! I’ve long thought $5 and $5.99 were a bargain for all we get each month. Without trying to sound like a kiss ass I love the Q&A’s, patreon chats, breaking news articles we get and all that are offered. It’s a fun positive rasslin community to participate in. Thx for all you do!

ProdigalGeek

Best $7.99 in the business. Been a subscriber for 4 years now and don't plan to stop. Thank you SRS and Fightful for being the best at what you do.

Kevin K

I know it was said that your are fixing the pricing to be the$71.99, but I still got charged the wrong price for my new subscription. I emailed you about this and nobody got back to me
