AEW TV rights negotiations megathread

[Chris]

I don't remember SEScoops being a bad source or anything but yeah I'd wait until something official comes out for this. Even if what they say is true, it's not signed anyway. Bischoff had a WCW deal on paper lol

 

[Jacob Fatu]

Let’s just hope it’s true. Won’t get to excited til an official announcement is made.

Still let's hope ay Blaze AEW is doing much better than it was as much as it pains me he still shouldn't be booking matches let someone who has wrestled not the bucks as it would be gymnastics on speed of they had it their way. Nah I want Jerry Lynn people tony knows or even Chris Daniels as Ex VP could say hey TK here's an idea stop fantasy booking matches and actually give the role to someone who has been in the business and wrestled doesn't have to be a top guy. It's normally the case that work hands are the best bookers.

62 million in debt didn't he have an offer refused for that amount or had it ready from investors. But he done WCW good at first it was Russo 1999 Hundreds of thousands of buys next year 60K ppv buys. Deluded Russo thinks wrestling should be like Jerry Springer or. Episode of A soap drama . Dude said bro over a thousand times on WCW what happened those four eps. I say bro a lot but it's like a tick. Bro can go away and do his podcasts with the money he lost WCW and TNA .

I know I would be hyped for it if so it yeah, it could all be true, then something happens and no deal happens lol. Gotta be signed and finalized.

Also, it probably it won't be a major factor in AEWs stuff but WBD has exercised their right to match Amazon for the NBA. That's gonna be contested bc the NBA will argue Amazon is better distribution so the $ being equal isn't a fair match

 

[Kross Rhodes]

It's unknown how much aew will make moving ppv's to streaming if it is a deal. TK don't care he got plenty of $ and his pockets are deep.

I don’t think Tony cares if he tries his best and loses money, but he’s not intentionally negotiating against his company’s bottom line. He definitely fought very hard to get a proper compensation for the PPV. I can assure you.

yeah sources on this aren't the most solid yet so I'm in wait and see approach. but its promising.

yeah I feel like TK is not accepting a deal that keeps them in the red

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I feel it’s close between the reports and the fact the international Max already uploaded 2024 AEW content.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I’ll be sticking to Fite for the time being, though. Not only because it’s live, but the French Max is in French and I haven’t found the English option…

I'll have to look to see which is cheaper lol I speak French so I'm ok

 

[Chris]

Max is pricey here (I get it free thankfully) so I'm sure Fite is still a way better deal

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Max is definitely more expensive than Fite if you’re only looking at it to get AEW.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I think it’s even double the price, actually.
