Dark Order was on TV A LOT especially second half of 2021 and I know a lot of people were getting tired of that, so its interesting suddenly Im seeing people missing them now. I kinda felt a lot of that was gonna be cut when other talent was coming

TBS new show is not surprising, I guess they had a slot to fill on the turner channels with Rhodes to the Top being gone. But theres also two things to also consider

Discovery's indian afflilatte had AEW broadcast rights before the Warners purchase, so all that talk about the company being in jepoardy with the WB acquisation seemed weird given they were familar with it.
There was also that news that TBS and TNT were gonna stop ordering scripted shows which benefitted live sports (Which Wrestling falls under). Just like Fox had slots to fill in after Disney, Im guessing WB is sending the Turner drama and sitcoms to HBO Max first so AEW, NBA, NHL probably got space now for not just main programming but behind the scenes/magazine shows like this

Just the 'E stooges overreacting as usual. I remember there was concern trolling when the Turner exec. who helped bring AEW to TNT left a few years ago. Anytime there's a shakeup at WB/Turner network it's, "Uh oh guyz, AEW is in big trublez!!"

Makes sense given outside of Animal Kingdom (this show any good?), I can't name another scripted TV show on either TBS or TNT. I might be in the minority, but I liked the TNA Reaction show they had on Spike. If they had a similar style show that is like their Dynamite previews, it should be pretty dope IMO.
