Nick Khan came out and said that it's going to be difficult to sell to a programming conglomerate due to the TV contract situation being spread out between NBC/Universal and FOX. If they sell to one of them, it'll likely be whenever the TV deals are coming up. They could sell sooner to a party/individual like the Saudis, Khans or whoever else.

This was going around twitter today that a Morgan Stanley report showed a breakdown of the cost of Smackdown to Fox and how its lost money year on year. Thurston mentions though this is the norm for live sports and both AEW and WWE are going through it

My thing is though given what you hear about big enterainment companies already losing money thanks to streaming, how much more are companies that also networks still willing to lose sports on live tv in the next go round of negotiations?

Any cliffs of what happened? I haven't followed wrestling since late attitude/wcw era.

From what I can gather:

-Vince got frozen out after it got revealed he was messing with the staff and paying hush money.
-Vince left
-Vince decided to come back with big man energy and show he's the boss by selling off the company.

You pretty much got it. There are reports that Stephanie & Vince don't see eye-to-eye on the corporate vision, so she resigned with him being back. Nick Khan was supposedly the intermediate between the two & is also an intermediate between Triple H & Cokeboy too.

Hannibal claims hhh been smashing women in wwe not sure if that's true lol.

Tripe's probably doesn't even have to fukk around behind Stephanie's back to get some new p*ssy Stephanie strike's me as one of them "modern new age thinking" white women that knows it's unrealistic to expect a man to be happy fukking one woman the rest of his life especially with seeing her father's cheating/infidelity first hand

coupled with being one of those white women that think's she can do anything a man does Tripe's & Stephanie most likely have a wild and crazy sex life having all types of threesome's with confidentiality agreement sighed high end escort's Stephanie lowkey is a big amazon of a women 5'10 tall probably be fukking the shyt out other chick's with a phoenix marie /pinkyxxx level strap game

That is not true

It’s been reported the man initially budgeted to lose $100M over 5 years ($20M per year). Add in the investment in the video game. Ridiculous talent overhead (Count how many people up there 1-3Ms a year plus the ones that were getting 5 a year) which probably cuts into the TV deal and production cost.

Where’s the revenue coming in? PPVs do well because they are glorified mark conventions but in the grand scheme of things it’s a tear in the bucket in regards to the money being spent. Dynamite doesn’t do well consistently attendance wise.

The only reason it’s not talked about is because they are privately held and the dirtsheets don’t want them to look funny in the light.

Have some common sense bro. If WCW lost Millions in 1999 and they drew better houses and had more eyeballs on their product, do you really think AEWs balance sheet is in the black?
