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

[TrueEpic08]

Excellent news for AEW, and I'm shocked that they're already reaching profitability. Hopefully, if AEW Dark is indeed the new show, they commit to it and Dynamite having different feels for the audience. Some may argue that two shows will be overkill for a young company, but two shows that feel the exact same will simply exacerbate said overkill.

The next step is to make their PPVs more accessible. Even for AEW fans, $50 is alot to ask for a PPV. Maybe they can work out a deal to stream their PPVs on HBO Max.

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


And he’s making more money than ever before

These nikkas on here think every wrestler should take themselves serious like Bret Hart. Killings paid his dues 20 plus years and now making millions but supposed to be giving a fukk about a character in a FAKE SPORT and worried about winning championships which their God Jericho has admittedly called wrestling championships a mere prop. nikkas need to go outside more...

So you "nikkaz" have zero concern about how Ron Killings is portrayed on TV?

Like, I'm not one to accuse everyone who disagrees with me on being White or something, but R-Truth is the one guy on WWE, that I can't explain away when trying to watch wrestling around non-wrestling fans.

Like, when he's out there, they're like.

"What kind of c00n shyt is this?"

This is good news. The more options out there the better

I don’t give a fukk bout how the nikka portrayed. that’s up to him to worry about, not me..



I made one statement and it was that he’s a bigger star and he more money than he did anywhere else. Did I make that up? Is that not the truth?


Lol nikkas adding narratives to my post that literally weren’t there




Y’all love doing that shyt. I can say James Harden is having his best year statistically and y’all come like “SO youRe Okay WiTH hIM DomiNAting the BaLL for 40 MInUTES A GaME aNd StALlINg thE OfFeNSE!????”


Like nikka... did I say that?

If anybody was rightfully sitting on the fence waiting to sign with these guys this was your cue to make the phone call

I think they are still gonna struggle to lure away prime talent from the E. Wrestlers nowadays are marks for the logo.

Meltzer on what he thinks about AEW’s new 3 year TV deal with TNT

“They [AEW] clearly have the momentum now. It doesn't matter anymore in a sense when they signed that TV deal... ya'know if you get complacent in this business you'll lose and all that. But when they signed that deal, honestly when they signed deal on Wednesday morning, it was kinda like (and it's not like the war is over, but) Vince failed. He failed.

The whole idea was to drive their number down and make them weak and make them go away. And they ain't going away. Say whatever you want, but the battle plan, why all of this happened, was not just to win but to drive them down so they could not get significant money when their contract was up. Not only did they not have to wait a couple of years for the contract to be up, they're getting the number now. They are going to be a success now.
It's interesting because the whole NXT is Paul Levesque's thing. And it's very well-received by the hardcore fan. And hey, I like NXT almost every week.

There's also weaknesses. And the reality of NXT is that they are not capturing younger viewers. This week was very low and the week before was very low. They are not capturing the younger viewers. And no matter what you say, this is the Paul Levesque track record of the guy who's going to take over and all that. And in the long run, you got to get those young viewers. You don't want to be horse-racing and you don't want to be boxing, especially when your competition is getting the young viewers.

I thought this was going to be this thing where we're going in there for two years or year-and-a-half mark, and if the numbers were good they'd get either a good TV deal or a bad deal, perhaps they even get cancelled, perhaps they get a great deal. But we didn't have to wait a year-and-a-half to reach that point. In three months they got a deal. Maybe they signed a lower deal then they could have gotten, but they got the vote of confidence. Everybody who said that they were gonna go out of business, they're not. They're gonna fail? They didn't fail. I think that might've been part of the whole thing. They're here for the long haul, they're gonna have money, and they're the number two company in the world. That TV deal all by itself grosses more than New Japan grosses from everything. New Japan was number two, so financially, they're number two, right now, three months into their TV run.”
