[Reality Check]

-- According to this Reddit thread, while AEW did not make announcements pertaining to a new TV deal, they are rumored to be announcing a deal with TNT at the Double or Nothing event in May. This would be consistent with what we reported here, but this report goes on to say that AEW would air on TNT on Tuesday evenings live and run for either 90 or 120 minutes. (It should be noted that currently TNT runs the NBA on Tuesday evenings, so how that will be sorted out if this rumor is true, is unclear). -- The above thread also suggests that several WWE performers - mostly midcarders but one main eventer - has reached out to AEW to inquire about employment, likely because they don't see much of a promising future in WWE

1) Turner Sports (along with ESPN) is in the middle of a 9 year, $24 billion contract with the NBA. They're most likely going to have pull given how long they've been doing Tuesday night games. Makes more sense to go to TBS than TNT due to the Tuesday time slot being available and how much of a negative it would be to either bounce back and forth between TBS & TNT or have an 11pm time slot. It's not like TBS is in any fewer homes than TNT is anyways.

2) Any guesses on the Main Eventer that reached out? My guess is Rollins

AJ. His deal is coming due and he’s turning 42 with kids that are growing up. My guess is 2018 was his last year on the WWE full time schedule and if he gets same $ for less dates he’s taking it.

Health care insurance is the true big game changer here. Especially guys reaching the back end of their 30s/going into their 40s gotta realize how fukking important that security is. And if it forces WWE to do the same, shyt would be epic.

But will healthcare be available for all talent or just office guys like Cody?

Why would it be Rollins? Dude is in the mist of getting a huge push. He's probably going to challenge Brock ar WM.

My guess is maybe zami zayn

Cody And The Young Bucks Discuss Possibility Of AEW Providing Health Insurance To Talent - Wrestling Inc.

One of the hot topics in wrestling since, essentially, the beginning of wrestling has been health insurance for those in the ring. Promotions view their wrestlers as independent contractors rather than employees, and thus, they don't offer health insurance for one of the most dangerous jobs in sports entertainment.

All Elite Wrestling is trying to do something different in the wrestling world in more ways than one and that includes health insurance. Some AEW employees will receive health insurance and other benefits as Matt Jackson and Cody Rhodes explained at their launch rally.

"I don't know if it's something that [AEW President] Tony [Khan] would want to talk about further, but the big thing for All Elite is that we want to take care of the boys," stated Matt Jackson.

"So many times you hear stories from wrestlers past or legends where they don't have anything left and there's nothing to show for it. One thing that we've always wanted to do is, if we started a wrestling organization, we wanted to take care of the guys. So, that's one thing we're working on.

"The executives are gonna have benefits and stuff. They're gonna get taken care of. We're in the day one process of that and we're still working on it. But that's the plan."

The executives include The Young Bucks and Cody Rhodes who are all EVPs as well as Brandi Rhodes who is Chief Brand Officer. Matt was asked if AEW talent might receive benefits one day.

"Maybe one day. Never say never," said Matt. "We're early on. We're creeping up with that door barely open, so hopefully one day we can swing it wide open."

Cody was also asked about talent receiving health insurance and benefits and he said that AEW will be similar to WWE in that they will take care of anyone that gets hurt in their ring.

"A lot of concerns that guys will have is what happens if I get hurt in the ring? Because that's the one thing WWE covers and we can confirm anyone that gets hurt in an AEW ring will be 100 percent taken care of by AEW," revealed Cody.

Cody then made a comparison between wrestling and Hollywood which insures its actors and actresses through labor unions such as SAG-AFTRA.

"I'd like to see wrestling just like the television industry," said Cody. "I've done a few bit roles here and there but that treatment and that care you get for your time on-screen, you have a comparable influence as a pro wrestler. You're just as recognizable and you should be just as taken care of."

Whats cesaro up to?

 

[R=G]

^^^

We reported yesterday that Chris Jericho was moved to WWE’s alumni section after he announced that he was signing with All Elite Wrestling. It appears that WWE has also removed Jericho from their intro video before TV starts, replacing him with Cesaro. It should be noted that Jericho hasn’t been seen in WWE since the Greatest Royal Rumble.

 

[g-ice]

My guess is maybe zami zayn

That's definitely a good bet at this point.

 

[g-ice]

Whats cesaro up to?

Cesaro has a prominent role in the company and is tag champ. Highly doubt he leaves. Plus his girl has a huge role down in NXT.

 

[Wacky D]

Ahhh, right, forgot he was there. Freshly flamed out and fired by WWE Scott Hall mind you, but he was still the biggest star.

So where do we place Cody as a star relative to him at that time? The Bucks? Let alone Jericho and Omega

youre comparing two different eras and two completely different landscapes.

most of the big stars were either locked into the WWE already or were still sitting on their time warner contracts.

the better comparison is to see if AEW signs up the rising stars & indie guys as well as TNA did.
