>>13929754WBD does not need AEW programming. WBD needs NBA programming. Fox has taken themselves out of the wrestling business, WWE is signed with NBCU/Peacock, Disney/ESPN has a deal with UFC/TKO. That doesn't leave many potential homes for AEW other than Paramount and WBD, and Paramount stock is doing almost as bad as WBD stock. They will not be prioritizing anything that isn't a sure thing (like NFL, NBA, etc), they cannot afford it.
The best deal for AEW will be great news for basically everyone but the retard who keeps spams about Slopdown 300 times a day, because he's going to look insanely fucking stupid when AEW gets a huge raise from someone not named WBD. They badly need a Streaming+PPV deal to close the gap between casuals and die-hards - and I think Tony believes the same thing, or we wouldn't have gotten All In, Wrestledream, Worlds End and Dynasty all added to the yearly calendar.
If anyone can get wrestling fans to pay $20/mo -- double what WWE used to charge -- it's AEW, especially with all their working relationships with NJPW, CMLL and so on. Sky's the limit but only if Tony is willing to tell WBD to eat shit.
