Yeah, I got 3 months of Thunder left on TBS so I'll just ride that out and make a decision on it when the time comes

 

[Hoss]

I went ahead and locked down more international TV deals for Nitro and got a PPV deal in Mexico as well. Went with 3 month deals so if there's a better opportunity after that I can upgrade.

 

[Smart Marx]

On TEW I know, but for realism you shouldn't need to cut Thunder if you cut the syndicated shows.

 

[Smart Marx]

With TBS retaining ownership they'll probably want you to renew in 3 months, but I guess it depends on ratings when you get there and your money.

 

[Smart Marx]

PPV deal in Mehico should be good.

Well I looked and neither TBS nor TNT want to negotiate an extension. At the moment at least.

 

[Hoss]

I wouldn't doubt they set TBS and TNT to be strongly against wrestling so that they won't want to negotiate with basically anyone

 

[Hoss]

Which would be sensible

 

[Smart Marx]

Really depends on the backstory because if Bischoff bought it, TBS should be a minority owner and they wanted to keep Nitro at least on TNT. But I guess if AOL merges still, they def don't like wrestling. Just a weird time to do a WCW BTB I guess.

 

[Hoss]

Yeah at this point I'm just rolling with what I got

 

[Hoss]

I might try to make up my own thing tomorrow to explain everything

 

[Smart Marx]

AOL was a disaster though. If I ever do a WCW BTB before 2000 one of the main goals in it will be stopping the AOL merger.

 

[Smart Marx]

People talk about WCW losing 20 million, AOL lost 100 billion.

 

[Smart Marx]

AOL was such a mess for Time Warner, they sold AOL off in less than 8 years.

 

[Hoss]

Explains why you don't hear about AOL anymore
