it has to be KILLING Dave Meltzer to see how well WWE is doing right now. I mean get got a 1.7 rating on Sci-Fi. Meltzer must have lost sleep that night.
Tony reminds me of this comic book shop we used to go to when we were kids. One day the store owner told us they were “moving.” For months he wouldn’t give us the new location but assured us “they found a good spot.” Eventually they closed down and a quick search confirmed what we knew all along.
Collision just dropped below 200K. Rampage is below 300K. Dynamite hasn't even hit 900K in months. AEW has zero leverage to ask for a new deal, they will get what they're offered and that's that.
I could not get AEW fans to understand that, no matter how hard I tried. Ratings are meaningless. Advertiser dollars are al that matters. It's why the NHL has ten times bugger TV deal than wrestling, even though regular season numbers aren't great.
I have a feeling TK wants a deal almost on par with WWE's $5 billion dollar deal with Netflix. Most likely not the 5 billion but something close to it and WBD ain't having it!
There last deal was only $45 million. And that was when they were doing 1 million viewers on TV. Tony Khan is on some good sh!t if he thinks he’s getting any where close to $5 billion for this next tv deal.
I really don't want AEW to fail, but I have to admit that their toxic fanbase deserves to see it happen. I just hope that Tony gets humbled by whatever happens here.
AEW marks no money from Ads. Remember they did the Texas Chainsaw video game product place? They only got $100K for that. In the business world that's NOTHING.
it should not take this long to work out a deal. According to Tony Khan he's had like 26 meeting with WBD. So either Tony Khan is lying or else this is a weirdest negotiation of all time.
Remember a couple of months ago Tony was saying how he'll always stay loyal to WBD. And all the experts were saying this was going to come back and bite him in the butt. Well...
Tony 🤡 now has the ability to talk to anyone. He's yet to even think about it. So much so, he had to fly all the way to Paris just to have a meeting with the President of WBD. Further proof that Punk was right about Aew not being run like a business. I think the main issue is that Aew needs more blood drinking on their shows. Oh and remember the pizza cutter? Bring it back. Ha.
Like the guys have said, I’ve been saying for months, with their viewing figures for all of their shows dropping year on year, every year, there’s no way advertisers are going to be paying as much money for slots. They might be the number 1-3 rated show in that time slot on that day, but it’s gone from 1m viewers to 600k viewers, so it’s not as valuable regardless of where they are
Tony Khan can't even answer a question doing a promotional interview, HOW is he going to have the brain power to talk to networks in a business sense?!
For all we know ,maybe WB is grilling Tony over the fact that AEW has zero drawing wrestlerz. Or they want Tony to hand over the reigns to someone else.
As I have said before …WB/Discovery Is 39 billion dollars in debt and they just lost NBA rights. HBO MAX is losing a lot of money. They are going to start selling off parts of the company. I don’t think it’s even possible to give a huge deal to show that is averaging under 700k viewers a week. It’s not a slight on AEW. it’s just common sense and being realistic .
My son was born way after WCW and I we scrolled through and saw a 6 man tag with the Young Bucks, Moxley, Omega and some other guys and they were in a cage, and there was thumb tacks and blood everywhere. He didn’t grow up seeing that in wrestling and he thought it was a little too much. I wonder how many younger fans who aren’t used to that style think the same thing and don’t tune in?
Well some if not more changes need to be made in AEW ,Warner Bros has a massive debt, Zaslav is on borrowed time, TNT still wants the NBA around more than AEW, and Tony Kahn need to be more of a Boss
Someone get K Dog rating charts. AEW is not the top 2 nor 3 show for there day mostly ever they will be 5th or 4th for the night which means they are in like 20-25 for the week. The only time they are in top 3 is when legit nothing but reruns are on that it. They are never a top show for the week
@@gimmiebackmybike1831 me neither when I tell them what they need to fix they get all mad call me a wwe guy iam not I just want aew to succeed and has better storyline
Time Warner probably wishes wcw was still around. Because even their worst numbers still destroyed anything aew ever did. But of course, Tony Khan and the dirtsheets love to bash WCW. But no matter how long Shad Khan lets Tony run aew, it will never come close to wcw and their success. And to add, Nitro not only went up against raw but monday night football as well. So the fact that aew has had all the resources and no one really competing against them minus wwe's third tier show NXT. They still can not grow. Sad
Yes. WCW Drew 3,000,000-5,000,000 Viewers In 2000. The Unopposed Nitros Drew 5,000,000 Viewers. And A Lot Nitros Drew Over 4,000,000 Viewers. Mostly Drew Between 3,000,000 And 4,000,000 Viewers. I Want To See Time Warner Executives Do An Interview Saying They Wish They Never Cancelled WCW Programming. WCW 2000 Destroys Today WWE Too.
He should have converted ROH Platform to AEW and charge a monthly prescription for ROH and the AEW PPV's ($10-$15_. He could have sold that all to WBD and get the $200m . SMH
I believe To you figures if his deal is anything less than WWE (since he's always comparing), he'll be made fun of online. Just being honest. I can't see them getting more than they started off with, if not less tbh. Honestly, if AEW was the hot property Tony claims it is, wouldn't you expext they would've had a deal hashed out months ago?

If I’m Tony I’ll sign a short deal for less or the same amount as last time just so he can put ROH & The AEW library on max I can’t see anyone else giving Tony the money he wants
i bet Tony botches every meeting they have. I would guess WBD has stuff planned then TK comes in, like a mark, and that makes WBD change plans on the spot.
Tony overvalued AEW thats why. But if I'm WB I will see three things, how much are advertisers paying, the ratings, and see the show to see if looks popular. There's no way WB looks at this and wants to give them a great contract. I think they going to give TK more money just so TK can say he got a raise but nowhere near what he wants.
He's not a liar, he's just in major denial. He has grown this protective layer wrapped around himself. He can't know that he is in the wrong. He was voted Booker of the Year and had people call him a genius for years. They did this to him, and now it's backfiring, he has to still believe he is right or his world comes crashing down and he realizes he's not a self made man like his billionaire father was. He will then have to come to terms with the fact he isn't very good at the first thing he ever thought he was good at.
Wrestling is not popular and hasn't been for about 2 whole decades. Survives purely off of old school fans (who are dwindling in numbers) and the fact that there will always be one person aged 5-11 who hasn't seen wrestling before.
