>>5678042I can 100% guarantee you that cable stations pay more for re-runs of Friends and Big Bang Theory that they would for a wrestling show.
Wrestling fans might not know that, but all the actors in those series get paid tenths of millions of dollars every time there's a re-run of a season of a popular series. Not to mention the rights costs to even air them.
One season re-run of Big Bang Theory costs probably more than AEW's whole TV contract which is worth $ 175 million.
