All Elite Wrestling/ALL IN 2 - paperwork been filed, in a positive sense. :ohhh:

[PURP!]

WWE Family audience vs The Lost Attitude era refugee and Generation Z audience...This is gonna be fun.

Turner will never put wrestling back on his channels...he was getting shyt for having it the entire WCW run

He ain’t in charge anymore if I’m correct. It’s the same guys who went into HBO when time warner bought them and said he wants them to compete with Netflix. Jeff Bewkes

Edit: att will own Warnermedia so Ted’s opinion would be null and void even if he had one. Also with WWE on Fox that shyt is over

I hope they are better at putting together a roster than the Jags are

But seriously that will be a huge factor in how this plays out. Of course they need a good TV deal to kick things off..

They will obviously have good in-ring wrestling..

But it's also how they manage this roster. I think it would be unwise to throw money around at WWE cast offs like a Ryback. He's not going to move the needle at all and you can sign someone like him for cheap.

I think they should spend their money on guys like Penta or Fenix because they probably wouldn't have to break the bank for the guys and they would be easily marketable. I could see Penta merch becoming a thing. Some guys with unique looks and who do cool shyt, that's what a casual wrestling fan would want to see.

I’m pretty sure penta Fenix make good money they are stars

As @MartyMcFly stated, Warner Media owns HBO, TNT and TBS. They are featuring Kenny Omega in a documentary this year on HBO, so there's already some ties there. They launched their streaming service, B/R live (their streaming service) so they need content. They already have some content from two of the bigger sports: NBA and soccer.

They signed One championship, a regional MMA promotion in Southeast Asia to a deal. They'll air live on B/R live and their content will be aired via tape delay on TBS and TNT. They need content, even if it's niche content.

Funny thing is the motherfukker that pushed for AOL/Timewarner to get rid of WCW ended up leaving the company 2 years later.

It appears as if WWE will be throwing their money around for some developmental deals this year.

With the announcement of All Elite Wrestling this week and with Ring of Honor getting aggressive regarding signing new talent, Dave Meltzer recently indicated on Wrestling Observer Radio that WWE offered a developmental deal that is much larger than what their standard contracts.

"I think there are going to be some interesting ones," Meltzer said of talent signings in early 2019. "Nothing that hasn't been rumored, and imminently. But there's also an instance of someone who is under contract to a company, they're going to be out of contract with the company in a couple of months. WWE, and another company, and maybe even two other companies, were involved in being interested [negotiations] in this person. And this would be a developmental deal [for WWE NXT] but I will say that the developmental money compared to others that WWE has offered was way, way higher. Multiples. Because the business has changed so much, and because of everything that's going on," Meltzer said in an apparent reference to the buzz going around the pro wrestling world these days.

It's no secret that the new AEW promotion will be announcing talent acquisitions as they prepare for their first big event, rumored to be held this spring. Meltzer had recently reported that three members of The Elite (Cody Rhodes, The Young Bucks, Hangman Page) had themselves turned down major money deals from WWE, reported to be multi-year deals that were worth more than seven figures annually.

As we previously reported, ROH's offer to Bandido was said to be much higher than the deal he had on the table from WWE. WWE came back with a second offer that was "dramatically higher" when they realized he had better offers on the table, and that he wasn't going to sign for low money just because it was WWE. Bandido will be making his ROH debut on January 12 in Atlanta at Center Stage for an international TV taping.

It should be noted that the wrestler set to receive the large deal was not identified in the report.

Him and the Lucha bros n Rush are the most poppin Mexican wrestlers at the moment imo

 

[RhymesWell]

A game changer would be if AEW offers talent extensive health insurance. They need to change the game with the type of contracts offered if they want to steal talent from WWE.
