The "let's not take this shyt so seriously" AEW news & fukkery thread

I would guess so, we're 5hrs ahead and it's starting at 6pm here I think - imagine it'll be live on Triller and taped to be shown on TBS later?

It's NOT being shown live on Triller apparently.

I like the early PPV on Sunday. It's like waking up to watch Football. I'll probably miss the preshow because I have to do my workout first.

Can’t stand when they go up to or past midnight

Yeah I'm usually in bed by 1030-11 except on my basketball night when I don't get home till 1030. On that night i stay awake till midnight.

Thanks for posting this... I'm cautious because of how wrong Fightful has been on some other stories..

If it was from CNBC, Variety or Puck I'd say it's 100% accurate, with Fightful I just don't know

Collision back over 400k. Hopefully the go home show for the ppv this week pushes them up a bit higher. I know they got the trios match on there so that should help. Show has been getting better thru the residency. Lets see how they do now that its not.

After this week I’m not looking forward to Collision going back in the road and getting some potentially shytty crowds. I’m assuming g the Cardiff crowd will be legit. I didn’t necessarily like that the esports stadium shows had to be filmed almost like a higher quality indie but those fans were great.

We don’t know what the current deal is but Thurston estimates it’s somewhere between $75-80 million. I would suspect at what is likely much more than double the current deal that would include, at minimum, the library, next day rights, and PPVs. Would not be surprised if simulcasting is in that too.

I'm a WWE fan now. Big up Brad Piff.

For how many years?

Just clowning. I'm minorly pissed I don't get to watch a Dynamite live when it's being held at a sociable hour.

The next deal? My guess is 5 years.

The last deal was signed in 2020 but changed numerous times throughout the duration due to programming changes (they got increases for adding Rampage and Collision). And this year, which is the final year of the deal, was an option year that saw an increase from what they got paid last year.

The only thing I've ever been absolutely certain in wrestling is that they have zero sources in legit Hollywood studios lol.
