>“If AEW doesn’t get a TV deal with a network, do you think any wrestling promotion will ever get a national TV deal again? This is a really interesting point and one of the reasons why I get so passionate about being critical. It’s why, over two years ago, when I first started pointing out some of the major flaws I saw, everyone thought I was just an old man yelling at the clouds who didn’t understand the new product. But I was right, wasn’t I? I predicted this: no growth equals death. Remember that, folks—you’re either growing or you’re dying. Does that sound familiar?

>Get me a TV doctor stat, we’re losing the patient; it’s bleeding out on the table. Tony Khan’s looking for Band-Aids. I think it will be really hard. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been critical; there are so few opportunities like the one Tony Khan and AEW had with TBS. What they’ve done with that opportunity will make it extremely difficult for anyone else to launch a new alternative wrestling company. And you can thank Dave Meltzer, Tony Khan, and all the people who didn’t want to listen to any criticism, whether from me, Jim Cornette, or the fans.”

>”It’s a shame, but I think it’s a serious issue. If AEW doesn’t get a renewal, I don’t think they’ll be able to shop around effectively. If they land another network, it will likely be an obscure one—like AXS TV or something similar—on a channel that nobody watches. Look at what happened to TNA. Dixie Carter’s TNA went from Spike to whatever came next and then to being gone again. Major networks don’t want another network’s sloppy seconds, especially if those seconds are underperforming in a difficult category.””
