WBD lost NBA, but they have been spending that money on college football, expanded baseball coverage, the French Open, and NASCAR. My point is, I am not sure how much they will have for a huge AEW increase as people are expecting.
Not to mention, WBD has a mountain of debt they need to deal with. They aren't going to give AEW a better deal without the NBA. If anything, it'll be worse.
@@AyaReikoTripleElite I think they will get a bump, but nowhere near what has been rumored. I think part of the deal will be moving PPVs to streaming on Max.
Though these events are annual spectacles, is it worth it to replace a content that airs on a weekly basis? I know they still have the NHL but it’s not a major draw.
The Young Bucks were not the creators of the Bullet Club. Prince, Finn Balor is a founder of the Bullet Club. The Young Buck like AJ Styles, Omega and the Good Brothers were in the Bullet Club. AEW began to tank once Cody left, he worked for AEW for months without a contract. CM Punk rose AEW’s numbers but nothing like a Roman appearance, aka needle mover.
Actually you’re half wrong on The Good Brothers. It was The Real Shooter Prince Devitt and Machine Gun Karl Anderson who formed The Bullet Club, hence the name Bullet Club. They were joined by Bad Boy Tama Tonga and The Underboss Bad Luck Fale (I really miss Devitt coming to the ring on Fale’s shoulders. But yeah The Young Bucks were nothing more than the Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team in The Bullet Club. They were almost mascots
It's worse than that. NXT isn't just a c show. It's a developmental brand, it's a separate subsidiary. It'll be like Ted Turner celebrating because WCW's flagship Nitro had done better than Florida Championship Wrestling, and then assuming that means he had beaten WWF. It's an even weirder thing to be proud about.
That WWE developmental brand got better ratings than AEW Dynamite this week. NXT: 718,000 AEW: 681,000 Last week AEW: 790,000 NXT: 768,000 Both shows loss viewers from the previous week but AEW losing 109,000 viewers to NXT losing 50,000 is alarming. AEW loss more than twice the viewers NXT did from the previous week.

I believe TK is catering to a niche wrestling fan that doesnt want their wrestling to resemble WWE in any way, and TK is catering to that audience, and its driving potential viewers and casual viewers away from the product. Because, wrestling is and has always been synonymous with WWE, so its an exercise in futility at this point, to try and win the war that way because wrestling fans are conditioned to see wrestling through a WWE lense.
But he resembles them more and more every day, the Sudden change of camera angles, Christopher Daniel's turning into an authority figure similar to Adam Pierce, the KOTR title concept, I can go on Based on how fast Tony khan tweeted at Ariel Helwani literal seconds after his segment ended on Smackdown leading into the Elimination chamber Tony Khan watches WWE with a magnifying glass and wants to be them.
I think Tony doesn't want to have storylines because wrestlers keep getting injured and ruining long term plans . He could just make new story with plans when that happens but that's too hard.
Right off the bat: I really don’t think there’s much of a crossover of AEW fans and NHL fans/NBA fans. Don’t let them get away with using everything as an excuse lmao “THE EUROPEAN WATER POLO CHAMPIONSHIP WAS ON THATS WHY AEW’S VIEWS WERE DOWN”
Tony needs to watch the death of WCW and pay close attention not to Bischoff not to Nash not Goldberg or Bret or listen to FN Dave or Ric Flair. But listen to every word Neil Pruitt says rewind and replay until he knows every word by heart. Tony and AEW are cooked there is No saving AEW.
I remember back in the heyday of LOLTNA, Alvarez had a pretty good reply to people who called him a hater: "If TNA was doing great right now, I'd own a fucking gold plated boat."

[The arena lights dim as The Rock's iconic theme music blares through the speakers. The crowd erupts into cheers. The Rock strides out, wearing a La Parka-inspired skeleton suit and carrying a steel chair. He enters the ring, grabs a microphone, and raises it to his lips as the crowd chants his name.] The Rock: "Finally, The Rock has come back to WWE! But hold on a second, because this isn't just any return. Oh no, The Rock has some business to handle, and it's not just in the squared circle. You see, The Rock isn't just laying the smackdown here; he's also the Chairman of the Board at TKO, and there's a new war on the horizon. Now, The Rock knows you’ve all heard about the movies that went south, about the deals that didn't go quite as planned. And we all know who’s behind that-Warner Brothers Discovery. Those pencil-pushing, jabroni-kissing geeks think they can mess with The Rock and walk away unscathed? Nah, uh, not today. The Rock stands here as The Chairman, as La Parka, ready to go to war. This isn't WWE versus AEW; this is Seven Bucks Productions versus Warner Brothers Discovery! It’s not just about business-it’s personal! You see, when they mess with The Rock, they mess with all of you, the millions... and millions of The Rock's fans. Warner Brothers Discovery, you tried to tarnish The Rock’s name, tried to bring down Seven Bucks Productions. But what you didn’t realize is that The Rock doesn’t back down. The Rock doesn’t surrender. The Rock fights, and he fights hard! And to prove it, The Rock’s bringing the fight right here to WWE. That’s right, The Rock’s gonna lay the smackdown in the boardroom and the ring. The Rock's gonna turn this skeleton suit into a symbol of strength, honor, and retribution. So, to all the jabronis at Warner Brothers Discovery, you better listen up and listen good. You don’t need the 411 if you got the 1414-one for me and one for my homies! And The Rock’s got a whole arena full of homies ready to watch him whoop some corporate candy ass! Now, step aside, because the Chairman’s about to call the meeting to order, and then he's gonna close the deal and lay the smackdown on your Rudy Poo candy asses! And if you smell what The Rock... La Parka... The Chairman... is cookin’!" [The Rock raises the steel chair triumphantly as the crowd roars in approval. His theme music hits again, and he stands tall, ready to take on both the wrestling world and the corporate battleground.]
There is rumours going around that WBD is trying to get a cheaper fourth tv rights package for the NBA that might include regular season and playoff games, If they are able to get said fourth tv package AEW could be low balled.
Usually Big Bang Theory lead in viewership inflated AEW Dynamite's first 30 minutes viewership. Getting like 900k - 1 million viewership lead in before crushing down to below 700k. Sometimes to inflate it further they started a few minutes earlier. Sometimes to inflate the final viewership they overshoot the airing by a few minutes, getting viewership from people who want to watch Modern Family. What happened the last few weeks was NBA playoff viewership stole away some of BBT viewership so they had much lower lead in viewership. Some AEW fans also already moved away since the CM Punk - Jack Perry video.
Dude you are my new fav UA-camr. I can always rely on you too make me laugh my butt off. Even on the worst of days if I’ve seen you upload I forget about what fresh hell is going on in my life. Sit back, take a hit, and enjoy
Remember when you were adamant that Swerve is a temporary champion whos dropping the belt to Will Osprey at Wembley this August.. but apparently Swerve and Will Osprey are wrestling June 30th at the forbidden door ppv in Long Island for the AEW championship...🤔
The fact that they only have, like, maybe 2 weeks to get a new TV deal done before that negotiation window closes is mind-blowing. Like, talk about procrastination. What really bothers me is that if the negotiation window closes, that WBD/AEW partnership is done. I don't see WBD outbidding for aew, and if aew can't find studios to offer them money. The offer that is currently on the table is gonna be way lower if aew comes crawling back to WBD. WBD is gonna be like, "Couldn't find any other bidders?" "Well we can get you for cheaper" because I seriously doubt theirs a market out there for AEW. When WWE were doing their negotiations, we were talking about FX, Amazon, WBD, Disney, and Netflix. What other studios could be in the running if wbd is out? Oh, that's right. WE DON'T F'ING KNOW.
lol i remember being so hyped for AEW in the early days and thinking it was somewhat decent outta thirst for something new. now when i go back and watch im like "wow this was always pretty bad". there are certain arcs and roster members that have some worthwhile content (Cody, Punk, MJF), but as an overall show/product its been outright bad from the start, we were just optimistic enough to give it a chance originally.

i really believe the wwe is working with tna to try and help them take aew spot on tnt . wwe could do crossovers with ufc and some wwe stars on their show. they could be helping tna out behind the scenes with discovery .discovery could pay a lot less for tna to be on tnt but could yield bigger ratings if wwe ufc is working with them
My problem with meltzer is he everywhere in aew even in the video game itself, also why is ospreay already in the world title scene? He just won the international title
The original Meltzer tweet and Cody reply, the founding bet as it were… are we sure that was genuine and not a marketing gimmick? It created buzz and interest, made it seem like this spontaneous thing, when in reality it was just a big show getting booked, which is way less interesting and doesn’t generate attention.
Th tv deal timeline is a little weird. It’s proven that Kahn good friend go then the deal they are on now. The first deal was basically week to week then the signed a deal. Seem like they rush to get on TV on the same time NXT got on tv.
What? NXT going to TV was a reaction to AEW. A smart move by WWE for sure that has paid off in the long run as far as setting up a third TV product, but definitely revisionist history to act like it was the other way around.
Ok Alfred...... I have no other words but to say I love you bro..... Keep doing your thing!!😂❤ PS..... Can you guys form like voltron or megazord and start a channel/podcast you , Marvin the monster , wrestling soup and Phil Marks..... Bro a fucking wet dream for me but in the words of Vince McMahon talking about Stone cold becoming champ " a relation corporate nightmare" for Tony Khan and Dave Meltzer 😂😂😂
I keep hearing they'll get a lower deal. 5 years later, declining audience with a CEO who's shown 0 maturity and ability to lead, evolve and has no vision. They deserve no deal at all.
I hope they stay on tbs and tnt I gave up on aew about a year ago but I know they have their fan base and good for them plus it’s another place for wrestlers to go find work so I hope they get the tv deal
Why doesn’t aew do characters?? The reason there is no stories is bc the wrestlers don’t use characters they go by their real names in aew!! I just don’t get it! Wrestling is about character development and stories nobody is watching wrestling to see these 6 star bangers except a few geeks on the internet. The attitude era was so successful bc they had strong characters and stories the matches weren’t even that good then!! I get the business has changed but if aew wants to be successful they need to start drawing people in with good stories and characters!! Make dynamite must see leave the viewer wondering what’s going to happen next and get them talking!! Back in the day you would go to school or work and it’s all anybody would be talking about what’s gonna happen next or did you see so and so on raw this week!? Nothing happens on dynamite if you miss the show you pretty much didn’t miss anything at all!’
@@xzenitramx666which is funny because wwe didn’t invent characters. They must think Vince invented MACHO MAN, SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM, the king Jerry lawler… even American dream dusty rhodes was a character to a degree. They don’t know how to use their stage names.
@@aerodynamicsalamander in which part of my statement I said anything about WWE creating the concept of characters?, my statement was about aew trying to be different and nothing else, did you leave in another universe or youre that dense?
They can’t use the nba or nhl as excuses. There is always something on tv you have to compete with. NFL, tv specials other wrestling shows you have to find a way. And AEW can’t find away, the honeymoon is over, no more dream matches to book. Now you actually have to be creative and get on the grind like everyone else
Basically, AEW can hope to get something along the lines of the deal that Indycar got with Fox, but with WBD. I mean WBD lost the NBA but has Baseball, the NHL and is bringing back NASCAR sharing that deal with Amazon... Hell, at this point they might only be offered the kind of deal that the NHRA has with Fox
It is life and death for AEW because the revenue from the TV deal is the only thing keeping them afloat (they still in the negative). It has been reported that WBD has offer them a deal and Tony does not like it. Tony better wise up and take the deal before WBD withdrawal the deal. Also, it looks like the WBD might get a lower package of the NBA.
Those Tooney Khan segments had be cackling... I got back into wrestling after literally DECADES cuz of AEW, and their dedication to focusing on the worst & weakest parts of their company (both in terms of talent & in terms of company conduct) has effectively driven me off until it either has a massive shake-up or dies a sadder death than WCW. And since the company is devoted to being a circle of untalented sycophants to a coked-up rich failson who tweets like a grudgey bored 10th grader & thinks it's a cool look for a man in his 40s to encourage his fans to harass others online (including wrestlers & journalists), I don't think that shake-up is gonna come first.

[The arena lights dim as The Rock's iconic theme music blares through the speakers. The crowd erupts into cheers. The Rock strides out, wearing a La Parka-inspired skeleton suit and carrying a steel chair. He enters the ring, grabs a microphone, and raises it to his lips as the crowd chants his name.]
The Rock:
"Finally, The Rock has come back to WWE! But hold on a second, because this isn't just any return. Oh no, The Rock has some business to handle, and it's not just in the squared circle. You see, The Rock isn't just laying the smackdown here; he's also the Chairman of the Board at TKO, and there's a new war on the horizon.
Now, The Rock knows you’ve all heard about the movies that went south, about the deals that didn't go quite as planned. And we all know who’s behind that-Warner Brothers Discovery. Those pencil-pushing, jabroni-kissing geeks think they can mess with The Rock and walk away unscathed? Nah, uh, not today.
The Rock stands here as The Chairman, as La Parka, ready to go to war. This isn't WWE versus AEW; this is Seven Bucks Productions versus Warner Brothers Discovery! It’s not just about business-it’s personal! You see, when they mess with The Rock, they mess with all of you, the millions... and millions of The Rock's fans.
Warner Brothers Discovery, you tried to tarnish The Rock’s name, tried to bring down Seven Bucks Productions. But what you didn’t realize is that The Rock doesn’t back down. The Rock doesn’t surrender. The Rock fights, and he fights hard!
And to prove it, The Rock’s bringing the fight right here to WWE. That’s right, The Rock’s gonna lay the smackdown in the boardroom and the ring. The Rock's gonna turn this skeleton suit into a symbol of strength, honor, and retribution.
So, to all the jabronis at Warner Brothers Discovery, you better listen up and listen good. You don’t need the 411 if you got the 1414-one for me and one for my homies! And The Rock’s got a whole arena full of homies ready to watch him whoop some corporate candy ass!
Now, step aside, because the Chairman’s about to call the meeting to order, and then he's gonna close the deal and lay the smackdown on your Rudy Poo candy asses!
And if you smell what The Rock... La Parka... The Chairman... is cookin’!"
[The Rock raises the steel chair triumphantly as the crowd roars in approval. His theme music hits again, and he stands tall, ready to take on both the wrestling world and the corporate battleground.]
Somebody please post the link of the Super Mario Dave Meltzer video I want to send Jim cornette that shit.

There is rumours going around that WBD is trying to get a cheaper fourth tv rights package for the NBA that might include regular season and playoff games, If they are able to get said fourth tv package AEW could be low balled.
Na the RC disrespect is wild
nintendo's gonna have a field day with that one section lol, might wanna have a backup just in case
TWEETS: 130,000🤣🤣🤣
Usually Big Bang Theory lead in viewership inflated AEW Dynamite's first 30 minutes viewership. Getting like 900k - 1 million viewership lead in before crushing down to below 700k. Sometimes to inflate it further they started a few minutes earlier.
Sometimes to inflate the final viewership they overshoot the airing by a few minutes, getting viewership from people who want to watch Modern Family.
What happened the last few weeks was NBA playoff viewership stole away some of BBT viewership so they had much lower lead in viewership. Some AEW fans also already moved away since the CM Punk - Jack Perry video.
Dude you are my new fav UA-camr. I can always rely on you too make me laugh my butt off. Even on the worst of days if I’ve seen you upload I forget about what fresh hell is going on in my life. Sit back, take a hit, and enjoy
Love to hear that!! Thank you so much
Remember when you were adamant that Swerve is a temporary champion whos dropping the belt to Will Osprey at Wembley this August.. but apparently Swerve and Will Osprey are wrestling June 30th at the forbidden door ppv in Long Island for the AEW championship...🤔
This was BRILLIANT!!!!! You are SO creative yo!
Thank you so much!! Our team put it down!
04:54 yes totally beer goggles. until triple h took over and showed us what aew was trying to do and showed us a visibly superior product
SuperDave vs Cornette with his tennis racket
ECW didn't push to make WWF more edgy... WCW did. Get facts straight.
The super dave spot. As the saying goes "that's good sh*t!"😅
We’re gonna be chain smoking on that AEW pack soon.
The fact that they only have, like, maybe 2 weeks to get a new TV deal done before that negotiation window closes is mind-blowing. Like, talk about procrastination. What really bothers me is that if the negotiation window closes, that WBD/AEW partnership is done. I don't see WBD outbidding for aew, and if aew can't find studios to offer them money. The offer that is currently on the table is gonna be way lower if aew comes crawling back to WBD. WBD is gonna be like, "Couldn't find any other bidders?" "Well we can get you for cheaper" because I seriously doubt theirs a market out there for AEW. When WWE were doing their negotiations, we were talking about FX, Amazon, WBD, Disney, and Netflix. What other studios could be in the running if wbd is out? Oh, that's right. WE DON'T F'ING KNOW.
I’m an AEW fan but can’t lie I love Alfred videos because he brings actual facts and helps me see things all around🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥
lol i remember being so hyped for AEW in the early days and thinking it was somewhat decent outta thirst for something new. now when i go back and watch im like "wow this was always pretty bad". there are certain arcs and roster members that have some worthwhile content (Cody, Punk, MJF), but as an overall show/product its been outright bad from the start, we were just optimistic enough to give it a chance originally.
Pro Wrestling Bits and The NBA Storyteller are my favorite channels on UA-cam!
I see you with those Kendrick quotes.
So *creative* man. 😅
That WWE developmental brand got better ratings than AEW Dynamite this week.
NXT: 718,000
AEW: 681,000
Last week
AEW: 790,000
NXT: 768,000
Both shows loss viewers from the previous week but AEW losing 109,000 viewers to NXT losing 50,000 is alarming. AEW loss more than twice the viewers NXT did from the previous week.
i really believe the wwe is working with tna to try and help them take aew spot on tnt . wwe could do crossovers with ufc and some wwe stars on their show. they could be helping tna out behind the scenes with discovery .discovery could pay a lot less for tna to be on tnt but could yield bigger ratings if wwe ufc is working with them
My problem with meltzer is he everywhere in aew even in the video game itself, also why is ospreay already in the world title scene? He just won the international title
The original Meltzer tweet and Cody reply, the founding bet as it were… are we sure that was genuine and not a marketing gimmick? It created buzz and interest, made it seem like this spontaneous thing, when in reality it was just a big show getting booked, which is way less interesting and doesn’t generate attention.
Th tv deal timeline is a little weird. It’s proven that Kahn good friend go then the deal they are on now. The first deal was basically week to week then the signed a deal. Seem like they rush to get on TV on the same time NXT got on tv.
What? NXT going to TV was a reaction to AEW. A smart move by WWE for sure that has paid off in the long run as far as setting up a third TV product, but definitely revisionist history to act like it was the other way around.
Ok Alfred......
I have no other words but to say
I love you bro..... Keep doing your thing!!😂❤
PS..... Can you guys form like voltron or megazord and start a channel/podcast you , Marvin the monster , wrestling soup and Phil Marks.....
Bro a fucking wet dream for me but in the words of Vince McMahon talking about Stone cold becoming champ " a relation corporate nightmare" for Tony Khan and Dave Meltzer 😂😂😂
I think they should sign hulk hogan and Eric biscoff for creative!!
Ayo, you did a collab with Tooney Town Wrestling?
I wonder if britt Baker and Kenny omega coming back will help their ratings.
If they come back
This video is 7stars
🤩
If the Young Bucks were the masterminds of Bullet Club than I'm Magnum TA.
THIS CHANNEL IS FABULOUS THAT DAVE MELTZER MARIO WITH JIM CORNETTE PURE CHEF'S 💋
I keep hearing they'll get a lower deal.
5 years later, declining audience with a CEO who's shown 0 maturity and ability to lead, evolve and has no vision. They deserve no deal at all.
I hope they stay on tbs and tnt I gave up on aew about a year ago but I know they have their fan base and good for them plus it’s another place for wrestlers to go find work so I hope they get the tv deal
Even Taker, the steadfast and loyal emperor and conscience of WWE, said he hopes AEW gets their shit together.
Why doesn’t aew do characters?? The reason there is no stories is bc the wrestlers don’t use characters they go by their real names in aew!! I just don’t get it! Wrestling is about character development and stories nobody is watching wrestling to see these 6 star bangers except a few geeks on the internet. The attitude era was so successful bc they had strong characters and stories the matches weren’t even that good then!! I get the business has changed but if aew wants to be successful they need to start drawing people in with good stories and characters!! Make dynamite must see leave the viewer wondering what’s going to happen next and get them talking!! Back in the day you would go to school or work and it’s all anybody would be talking about what’s gonna happen next or did you see so and so on raw this week!? Nothing happens on dynamite if you miss the show you pretty much didn’t miss anything at all!’
Thats because they want to be unique and away from anything WWE related.
@@xzenitramx666which is funny because wwe didn’t invent characters. They must think Vince invented MACHO MAN, SUPERSTAR BILLY GRAHAM, the king Jerry lawler… even American dream dusty rhodes was a character to a degree. They don’t know how to use their stage names.
@@aerodynamicsalamander in which part of my statement I said anything about WWE creating the concept of characters?, my statement was about aew trying to be different and nothing else, did you leave in another universe or youre that dense?
@@xzenitramx666 wasn’t saying YOU. Just saying THEY think that lol
@@aerodynamicsalamander you reply to my comment.
Excellent video
If WWE does a WCW themed NXT/or PLE with the WCW ring pop then it might be the nail in the AEW coffin
Excellent video. 🎉🎉🎉
Dr.pepper has surpassed pepsi as second favorite nationally. I like your content so ill let you slide
They can’t use the nba or nhl as excuses. There is always something on tv you have to compete with. NFL, tv specials other wrestling shows you have to find a way. And AEW can’t find away, the honeymoon is over, no more dream matches to book. Now you actually have to be creative and get on the grind like everyone else
You've been playing alot of FF footage since the game came on ps plus 😂😂
You do know NXT is WWE's 3rd brand? A developmental brand. 😂
Basically, AEW can hope to get something along the lines of the deal that Indycar got with Fox, but with WBD. I mean WBD lost the NBA but has Baseball, the NHL and is bringing back NASCAR sharing that deal with Amazon... Hell, at this point they might only be offered the kind of deal that the NHRA has with Fox
10:03 More like early 2010s SmackDown
You are making too much of a deal about aew beating the 3rd string show. 😂😂😂😂
Bro early AEW is trash lmao like it has great points ofc but bro they was pushing the Dark order and shit was trash
AEW Is Horrible!
Shout out to Movie Monster. Also you continue to have awesome production. Love the vhs stuff.
It is life and death for AEW because the revenue from the TV deal is the only thing keeping them afloat (they still in the negative). It has been reported that WBD has offer them a deal and Tony does not like it. Tony better wise up and take the deal before WBD withdrawal the deal. Also, it looks like the WBD might get a lower package of the NBA.
Those Tooney Khan segments had be cackling... I got back into wrestling after literally DECADES cuz of AEW, and their dedication to focusing on the worst & weakest parts of their company (both in terms of talent & in terms of company conduct) has effectively driven me off until it either has a massive shake-up or dies a sadder death than WCW. And since the company is devoted to being a circle of untalented sycophants to a coked-up rich failson who tweets like a grudgey bored 10th grader & thinks it's a cool look for a man in his 40s to encourage his fans to harass others online (including wrestlers & journalists), I don't think that shake-up is gonna come first.
