>>15315119It doesn't die with AEW getting a new TV deal though, especially if the buildings continue to be 1/4 full, ratings keep trending down faster than the rate of cord-cutting, and so on.
There is a world of difference between AEW getting $100M or $140M or $180M/year for their 3 shows. Towards the lower end, you're likely to see roster cuts, many more contracts expiring, less "dream matches" from outside promotions and more emphasis on AEW originals. Towards the higher end, we'll see much more NJPW/CMLL/Stardom appearances, more licensed music, more FUN.
$180M/year = Full vindication of Tony's methods and WBD wanting to fully buy-in
$100M/year = Repudiation of Tony's methods and WBD giving deal Tony could have easily beat elsewhere
Anything in-between is open to interpretation.
