See but the thing is, what else are they going to replace it with that is going to generate as much advertising money as AEW is able to do by being consistently the #1 or #2 original cable show in the key demo (18-49) on Wednesday nights? And they are fairly regularly blowing out the competition in the male 18-49 demo even when something else is close in the overall demo.
The only things that it typically loses to is big sporting event on Wednesday nights. And that's the only thing that ever beats it in the male key demo even on the rare night that they lose the overall demo to something that isn't a big sporting event.
Now Fridays with Rampage is a different story all together. shyt product on a shyt time slot.

Streaming is going to get them more exposure than TV would.
- More people watch streaming than linear TV (linear TV meaning any type of live TV service such as cable, satellite, or YouTube TV), and the % of people who subscribe to linear TV continues to dwindle. By being linear-only, they are actually limiting their growth potential.
- Streaming is cheaper than linear for the consumer.
- Being on streaming means its available on demand whenever you want.
- It doesn't get preempted for the NBA, MLB, or NHL.
- If they did it like WWE does with Peacock, all the PPVs would be available live as part of the subscription. That gives them, currently at least, 4-5 major events they can market the shyt out of to get people to watch for free instead of having to shell out $50 per PPV. I mean I watch nearly every WWE PPV because they are on Peacock for free. I sure as fukk would not spend $50 to watch any of those. I damn well can't be the only one that thinks that way. Peacock is EASILY the smallest streamer from all the major players by several million subscribers, but they are getting significantly more viewers for their PLEs than they were when they were doing the same shows as PPVs.
- They can get their product promoted on the front page of the streaming app so every single person who opens the app would see it.
- They could potentially air it commercial free. The quarterly segments with ad breaks almost always lose viewers.

Impact is 20 years old. I’m sure AEW can make it there.

Even ECW managed to last 9 years and, as good as he is creatively, Paul Heyman is incompetent as a business man.

Their video game is going to put them out of business by itself

Can you imagine how crazy this mf gonna be in 5 years?
Has he ever been seen in public with a woman?
I dont think so. I like it and am glad it's around, and it does pretty good numbers, but I can't imagine it's actually a good, profitable business. It reminds me of like 07-09 TNA where it's a good show, I'm glad it's around, and it has an audience, it's not just bum sh1t, but they're clearly burning money. They're just throwing money at guys to have them, with no idea of what to do with them other than have another name on the roster.
If they still have a deal with Turner/Discovery/Warner/whatever the fukk they're called at the time, then they'll still be around. I doubt they last without that deal though.

If they don't at minimum double their TV contract, regardless of who it is with, then that's when it's time to raise the red flag.
