Not a couple of years. WWE had to abandon TV deals all over the world because of the Netflix deal. They're trying to lineup TNA for them so AEW can't replace them globally.

If it's going to happen, it's going to happen this year.
I wouldn't be surprised if TKO already owns a stake at this point...you cant be down bad asking people to take pay cuts and then all of sudden being able to.run live TV shows and running major arenas.

All these fans :gladbron: :blessed: over the “partnership” don’t see this is basically a developmental deal for the E. And They want that tape library too. I can’t wait to see the plea copping when they finally put the nail in the coffin for TNA.

Situation isn’t the same as before. They had star power and the future talent we see now in WWE and AEW. On Spike Tv, a cable network that was popular at the time.

This partnership is basically a way for the WWE/Endeavor to snake their way in. Even if they don’t officially buy it out, which I doubt, it’ll basically be another WWE developmental like OVW, MCW and UPW back in the day. They benefit the most out of this.

Why would a tv network invest in TNA when if anyone ever gets popular they’ll disappear
They’re probably not even thinking long term or even the exact partnership offers. These dumb suits probably think the E will send Roman and Cody to TNA when they’ll be getting Hank and Tank. :mjlol:

They'll promise them a product that can pull a rating (relative to what the network values) no matter who is on.

It's all about the pitch and how many viewers the network really needs/wants.
