The only network WWE doesn't have a monopoly on is Paramount and I don't think they want to get back into wrestling.

WWE as of now has NBC Universal (NBC/USA/Peacock), Netflix, Fox (Tubi), ESPN (To an extent Disney)
Paramount is an odd ball, but I remember them mentioning how they wanted wrestling again back in 2021 due to AEW's success. Because that led to WOW being on the CBS syndication and having a dedicated channel on PlutoTV. What makes things more interesting is that what led TNA to slowly find themselves back around Paramount as they too have a dedicated channel on PlutoTV.

Jokes aside, that breakdown of revenue and expenses is more barebones than an average US household. It doesn’t even include payroll for non-talent!

If AEW had a hall of fame and put matches in it, what five matches would you pick?

I’m going with…
  1. Danielson vs. Ospreay, Dynasty 2024
  2. Hangman and Omega vs. the Young Bucks, Revolution 2020
  3. Omega vs. Ospreay, Forbidden Door 2023
  4. Toni vs. Mariah, Hollywood Ending, Revolution 2025
  5. Hangman vs. Swerve, Texas Death, Full Gear 2023

Off the dome, Cody vs Dustin should be on it

Probably Danielson vs Omega

Need a sec to think about the rest

Cody vs. Dustin would be my #6 pick. Would have definitely made my list if I limited it to only one match per wrestler. But I’m not dealing with that spread the wealth BS

Saw that finances tweet earlier and it led me to a thought that I've had in the past in regards to that and what some may not realize. AEW is a privately owned company and let's say that TK is the only owner or owns a majority of it. People may not realize the ability to move money around when you're a business owner especially a multiple business one or one that's getting revenue from various sources. Difficult for a company like WWE or rather TKO since their finances are public like the stock is. But I think TK has more leeway.

I'll give an example. Let's say you own a restaurant that's successful. You also own a store that does well but could do better. You have the ability to continue operating the restaurant as it has been while taking some of the extra profits to help boost things at the store. The ability to move money around. TK has AEW plus his work for Jags, Fulham, and his data analytics company. No reason why he can't take some of his profits from those and help invest in making AEW better especially if he knows the investment would be worth it. Sort of like a betting on yourself type of thing. The rich are able to do that because they have assets they can use to fund another and keep the cycle going.
