AEW DYNAMITE MOVING TO TBS IN 2022, NEW SHOW "RAMPAGE" STARTS AUGUST 13

[2CT]

TNT still fukks with em anybody who tries to paint this as an L for AEW clearly got an agenda

they giving em a whole new show (Rampage) plus agreeing to air basically 4 PPV caliber shows on TNT every year sound like AEW bout to reach even higher heights

 

[FS4LFE]

Damn they got a second show already? 10pm is a weird time but good for them.

good to see another prominent american promotion.

 

[Jmare007]

It seems they got more money and a new show for their "troubles" of moving so it was a good business deal.

Can't wait for the retarded discussions that will happen though

Just looked it up (I never knew) ....they're saying it's ~800,000 difference. So all of this is potentially for about 50-100,000 more viewers on average?

I'm not mad at them expanding their range, I just don't see it being worth this press release or making it seem like it's a big deal

Yeah it's not significant but it is more. The move isn't a big deal but the 4 shows, compensation, and Friday show are.

That's exactly what it was. They threw AEW some incentives to move, so the optics wouldn't look like they are kicking AEW from their time slot in exchange for the NHL. That type of thing happens in the business world all the time to save face with all parties involved.

TBS is a dead channel that mainly only shows reruns, so they could afford to throw them an extra show as any ratings from it would be way better than what's being current generated.

Watching the post count, seems like the idiotic spin team is at it already

And see why they need to hoard more wrestlers? We're at four shows and rumor has it they gonna add three more, including a Vimeo exclusive

Just because it's in more homes doesn't mean that it will necessarily translate into new viewers.

If that was the case, then NHL would have moved to TBS instead.

It also doesn't mean that it won't translate into more viewers. Won't know till the new show starts.

If this was a big deal as much as people are making it out to be, then why didn't the NHL move to to TBS instead if it's in more homes?

I don't know. That's a question for the network executives.

 

[OVER]

TBS has produced some quality shows but it's like they never find their audience. American Dad, I loved People Of Earth and Final Space but it's like they treat most of their content as disposable like 4 new episodes of Tyler Perry would premier. Anyway, I don't know if moving to TBS is a good thing. I assume they carry over most of their fans.

 

[Brad Piff]

the marks a month ago: “bu bu but why would they ever move dynamite?! Look at the demos!!”

NXT runs a takeover on USA: “hahahahah they’re desperate for ratings!!” - the marks

AEW announced to run 4 ppv events on network tv: “it’s such a good look for the company!” - the marks

I don't know. That's a question for the network executives.

They would tell you in the nicest possible that it's a demotion and the NHL will bring more viewers than AEW would.

The NHL or any sport will move a show from its original timeslot as it will bring in more ratings and revenue. That's no shot at AEW as even Smackdown would be forced to change days or channels if the Fox decided to move a sport to that timeslot.

Will they change the tnt title to the tbs title

I don't disagree. I'll watch on either channel just like most AEW fans will. I only watch TNT for NBA and AEW. Now I'll only watch TNT for NBA. If it had just been them making AEW move with no compensation then I'd be concerned but they actually got a good package out of it.
