Will AEW be around in 5 years?

[Brad Piff]

Has he ever been seen in public with a woman?

 

[Finn Baller]

did you forget Tony Kahn is a billionaire ?

you mean his dad is

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

I don't know.

Things are deteriorating pretty quickly

I could see Shahid Khan saying to Tony if say they lose their TV deal or something like, "wrap it up, b."

I could also see an AEW where Tony sticks around, but the Bucks & Omega leave, making it a new company again.

I don't see why marks want to see major wrestling promotion go down the tubes. We saw how they worked out in the early 00s

 

[Hey_zeus]

Yep. They are the new Impact as long as they want it.

Even then that doesn't necessarily make a difference as billionaires call projects failures all the time even when could theoretically keep pumping into it to keep it alive however they want.

Most marks are fickle, can't think for themselves, and preserve the status quo.

I'm still amazed at the cognitive dissonance some WWE fans have about considering AEW a more racist company.

Acting like Hunter will save wrestling, how he's more in tune than Vince, when this is the reality:

They'll be around, it's not a WCW situation where the channel owned the promotion.

Tony needs to bring in another figure to ease the pressure off of him.

I think Warner resigns AEW to a multi year deal with a reality show on one of the networks and the ROH library on whatever HBO Max is called next year.

The other issue is that WWE has this lock on other networks, FOX, NBC and any channel associated with them. I mean look at MLW and what they're doing to Dark Side of the Ring

Not to mention, completely forgetting the fact of the feud he had with Booker T when giving him hype and praise.

Tony Khan needs to get his house in order ASAP. The new Warner Discovery CEO has been cleaning house when it comes to stuff from the AT&T era. What happened at the media scrum cannot happen again. Khan needs to stop being friends with the roster and be their boss. You can be cool with the boys but all that buddy buddy shyt needs to stop.

Had to keep him hot against a returning Goldberg, they said.

The pic I posted still pisses me off, having bashed Chyna off the premise of "what would my children find?"

Then he put his children next to a fascist and racist demagogue for a photo op.

 

[Jmare007]

shyt is starting to look scary. This thing could fall apart quickly. If they get a good TV deal locked in they should be okay for the short term.

m

5 years is short term. The new TV deal should start in 2024 with the negotiation process taking place next year. That should automatically keep them afloat for the next 5 years considering it would be weird if they don't get a way better deal than the one they have right now (probably 3 times bigger and at least double than what it is, which is close to 44 million)

AEW wasn't created to make money. What businessman solely focused on making money would say "let me put hundreds of millions into a professional wrestling company in 2019"? AEW exists because Tony Khan wants to run a wrestling company.

Tell that to his pops whose money that he's using to fund his project. Going to fukk around and end up like HHH did when Vince finally rolled up to NXT and started asking questions and seeing what all the money was going to

He's lucky his pops or Discovery Execs haven't showed up already asking questions after what happened at the press conference and incident after.

I don't know what their expenses are but TK said they are projecting to have over $100 million in revenue this year
