AEW Dynamite contract extended through 2023 & AEW Dark confirmed for TNT

[Champagne Kudo]

Them becoming profitable is truly crazy. I thought itd be Atleast a few years before that

 

[Reality Check]

They hit a profit year 10 years before TNA did

With another show they can display talent a lot more properly. Idk how Khan went into those negotiations but keep it up

Was TNA/Impact ever profitable to begin with?

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

But but but vanilla midgets doing flippy shyt

But but but Marko Stunt

But but but Young Bucks being chased off twitter because of Dark Order flopping

But but but NXT outdrawing them some weeks

But but but Russo drew 2 million viewers with TNA

Spoiler

Wonder if this entices more WWE talent to wait out their contracts and see if they can go there

Spoiler

Russo drew 2 million viewers, never drew a dime

Don’t even ask me how

More Thicc Statlander on TV

I thought i was the only one

They reportedly were in '08-'09

Im glad they're doing well, but I think the shows already dropped to just being a decent wrestling show after being cant miss TV for the first 6-8 weeks

 

[Wacky D]

Because the 24/7 Championship is such a legitimate and prestigious title.

but R-Truth dam sure was no joke in TNA.

goes to the WWE and they got him playing sidekick to a no-talent racist(The Miz).

then afterwards, they had r-truth steppin-n-fetchin, which hes still doing nearly a decade later.

but I guess you have no problem with that right?? you dudes are so selective & phoney.

they should probably focus on making one good show a week before they start doing two. This is TNT being greedy because the ratings have been good. I like AEW I want it to succeed but this just has disaster written all over it IMO. They are still getting there footing and learning how to do this. Show hasn't even been that consistent yet.

 

[Wacky D]

Huge win.
Hope this means AEW Dark goes on air, there's been weeks where it was simply the better show, to be frank.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this.

its been looking like a clear B-show since the new year tho.

R Truth is a bigger star now than he ever was anywhere else though


And he’s making more money than ever before

Yeah, they dialed back...definitely no Omega/Janela type matches, anymore. Their expanding roster has definitely contributed.

Last night's ep was fire, IMHO

Shanna/Rose is probably one of their best feuds yet, and the Memphis tribute stuff was exponentially better than I expected. Dave Brown was an incredible commentator!

 

[SpacelySprockets]

didnt something come out a while back about them trademarking "aew lightning"?

 

[Rell Lauren]

Jokes aside, we all knew TNT was happy with the ratings

same as USA or whoever with WWE, that’s why they keep getting lucrative deals


nikkas who think these shows are supposed to be doing 5 million viewers a week are outdated and simply haven’t accepted that it isn’t 1998 and wrestling isn’t popular anymore. With that said, there’s still a loyal audience watching weekly

No one said they were going to get 5M. They can't get 1M. The network needed programming regardless of it not drawing in viewers.

they need to shorten some of those matches tho.

like when they give more than 10 minutes to people who shouldnt be out there that long.

those jawns drag like a bad match on an old coliseum home video.​

youre telling a lot about yourself with this post.

^^

Yeah and it’s that I have a brain


You nikkas always wanna cry about booking and all that other shyt but check this out..



I’m absolutely positive Truth has no problem being on TV every week entertaining millions of people, literally being himself and getting paid a shyt ton of money.


Opposed to getting title runs in a company that was never over on a mainstream level, and getting paid significantly less.


I know nikkas love this prestigious play fighting shyt but please understand that for some people, life is about more than winning predetermined fights. Some people care about.. you know... making a lucrative living, health and supporting family. Things of that nature.. Insane, I know..
