Here's the write up from Variety on Tony Khan.

CEO, All Elite Wrestling (AEW)

In October, five years to the week after Khan launched professional wrestling promotion AEW as a direct competitor to Vince McMahon’s long-dominant WWE, he closed a multi-year media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, worth a reported $185 million a year, that calls for AEW’s shows and events to be broadcast on TBS and TNT and stream on Max. The company is now valued at more than $2 billion, making it the third-most-valuable combat sports company in the world.

Ain’t bragging if it’s true: “Our new arrangement signifies that AEW will make history as the first professional wrestling promotion to simulcast events weekly on top cable channels and a top streaming platform,” says Khan.

Damn....They spent all that time building up their Hollywood connects and entertainment business publication just so they could turn around and stooge for AEW :wow:

imagine if the stan wars reach those levels. be like variety and entertainment weekly and whatever other ones they have start having beef over wrestling. :russ:

New Negrodom measuring process just dropped:

edit so no one gets aggro:
I am not being facetious. I mean this. Blessed be to a black thing that's finally gatekept like it matters and doesn't just accept any and every person that drifts nearby for the sake of unneeded validation. Add Hobbs and Lee Johnson and let's get crackin plz&ty

I agree with that. Hobbs def fits the mold. Not sure how they'll be able to get him in tho with him currently being more on the face side. But a strong guy that can whoop some ass and be under their wing learning sounds perfect for him. Not too sure about Lee Johnson. Is he in ROH? I don't know if I confuse him with Lee Moriarty. I know there's a Lee that has I think the roh tv title. I think Moriarty the one with Shane Taylor. I think there's a Lee in The Infantry, not sure right now. Hobbs sounds like the better option. I wouldn't be surprised if Lio Rush and Action Andretti join first especially with them having split from Top Flight. Gives HS a tag team in that division.
