The hostile takeover of Paramount has been REJECTED by the WBD BOARD (partial stakeholders in AEW). What will Netflix do with their stake in OUR AEW???????? Will they even buy it????>Even after David Ellison’s Paramount filed a revised tender offer for the company Dec. 22, with Larry Ellison personally promising a full backstop on the deal, the WBD board released a letter Wednesday morning rejecting the new offer and sticking with its signed agreement with Netflix.>The revised offer also saw Paramount increase the termination fee to $5.8 billion, matching Netflix, and extending the deadline for the tender to later in January. The company kept its offer price at $30 per share, all cash.>But WBD’s board argued that the changes were not enough to persuade it to change its mind.>“Your Board unanimously determined that the PSKY amended offer remains inadequate particularly given the insufficient value it would provide, the lack of certainty in PSKY’s ability to complete the offer, and the risks and costs borne by WBD shareholders should PSKY fail to complete the offer,” the WBD board wrote.https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/warner-bros-discovery-rejects-paramount-revised-offer-1236457301/
All the sliding today makes sense. Either this or the ratings must have him in a tizzy
>>19643474FUCK YOU
>>19643450The shareholders will ultimately decide whether WBD gets acquired by Paramount or Netflix. Not that it matters because AEW is totally fucked either way kek
>>19643505We're not talking about WWE here that is inevitably getting canceled next year.
>>19643510>Delusion
>>19643450Netflix wants to a monopoly dumbass, they'd 100% air it
>>19643505The Paramount bid hinges on them trying to convince the WB shareholders that 30% of their stock is worth $0, Paramount is fucked already
>>19643510>We're not talking about AEW here that is inevitably getting canceled this year.Here's what your comment would look like without the projection
>>19643474Permanent melties are not yummy. Trannies BTFO by Netflix and E supremacy.
>>19643523Netflix doesn't even give it's popular shows 3 seasons and you're trying to convince that they will keep that flop RAW more than they are contractually obligated to do?>>19643529Netflix is canceling RAW just like Fox canceled Smackdown.
>>19643537They're contractually obligated for 10 years
>it's another 2 more weeks episode
>>19643550Meanwhile, when is AEW due for a new deal? Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe it’s…. 2027 UH OH better actually swing that pendulum soon trannies!
>>19643450>with their stake in OUR AEW????????>in OUR AEW????????>OUR AEW????????oh boy another looneytroon has got out of the mental ward and is posting online
>>19643550No, the contract states that they can cancel in 3 years.
>>19643537>WBD is canceling Dynamite just like they canceled Rampage.Yup. If only AEW was an asset to WBD like WWE is an asset to Netflix.
>>19643550they can cancel it after 5
>>19643567well if wayne friedman says it
>>19643573>(y) to opt out after the initial five yearsOH NO NO NO
>>19643450I promise you that literally no one involved in this whole WBD-Netflix-Paramount saga gives a single flying fuck about AEW or even knows what AEW is.
>>19643450>NJPW on the comeback>WWE getting slowly destroyed by TKO>AEW about to lose their TV rights dealPresident Tanahashi's final wish comes true. Thank you Ace
>>19643450kek the day where pork on the wheels will find himself seriously considering rolling down the highway is soon approaching
>>19643578Actually, Ampere Analysis says it. Wayne Friedman's just reporting it. If you can find a flaw in the article please feel free to point it out.https://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/409881/wwe-boosting-netflix-viewing-growth-lower-churn.html
>>19643629pipe down wayne
>>19643633I accept your surrender.
>>19643629cool, so they'll love airing more wrestling when they get the aew stake
>>19643596how he awakens every day and doesn’t do it puzzles me greatly. it takes a lot of strength to wake up every morning being him and not ending it
>>19643642sure thing wayne
>>19643629Woah so raw isn’t a flop?
>>19643510See a psychiatrist. Just because you keep insisting Netflix is disappointed with WWE doesn't make it true no matter how many times you keep repeating it. They just signed a brand new, multimillion dollar deal for the rights to stream WWE's back catalog in North America on top of the previously existing deal for Raw, and the International streaming rights.If Netflix wasn't happy with WWE, they would have let that back catalog go to Paramount Plus or some other streamer.
>>19643757well it can't beat a log in the ratings so yeah it's not doing too great rn
>>19643760>multimillion dollar dealsource?
>>19643760>They just signed a brand new, multimillion dollar deal for the rights to stream WWE's back catalogThis dronie has lost his goddamn mind (if he had one to begin with)
>>19643760netflix is getting the tape library to try and make the deal work, or else they have to cancel raw (sadly)
They’re splitting WBD into two companies. One will have the dead weight and all the debt. That’s where AEW’s rights will go. Netflix will buy the other one.
>offer a hundred billy>Then change your offer to seventy billyWas it a rib?
Remember when WBD negotiated exclusive rights to AEW in the last renewal deal, and then waived that exclusivity less than a year into the deal for no apparent reason? And then AEW trademarked “WatchAEW” shortly after?
>>19643800WBD negotiated exclusive rights during the first deal, which is why Dark and Elevation stopped airing on YouTube. Are you dumb?
>>19643809Right and they negotiated to keep that exclusivity as part of the renewal deal. Until they suddenly didn’t want it anymore.
>>19643827>Remember when WBD negotiated exclusive rights to AEW in the last renewal deal???
>>19643800Remember when WBD only gave Tony a 2 year put up or shut up deal? And he proceeded to lose 50% of the audience?
>>19643510Imagine the meltdown. Would be worse than when Smackdown dipped below a milly.
>>19644047>DippedNice use of the word since it was a taped episode and instantly rebounded! Can you use that great vocabulary to describe AEW’s relationship with a milly?
>>19644054AEW’s milly went to the market for some milk 3 years ago and I’m starting to think it isn’t coming back
>>196440542024 taped episode had an audience of 1,300,000. Smackdown hasn't had that many viewers in months. Smackdown and AEW have each lost half the audience they previously had.Last time RAW pulled 3,000,000 domestically was in 2017. Now 3,000,000 worldwide is a win?
>>19644147So no he cannot, he can only “but WWE” without context of network changes
>>19644147he's going to have a shoot nuclear fucking melty when they stop hiding the ratings for the 3 hour slopdown last week kek
>>19644154>network changesyou mean when smackdown got cancelled?
>>19644171that's probably what he's referring to, ya
>>19644147hilarious that all of the numbers in this post are over a million, when’s the last time trAnny rodEo mudshoW did that again?
>>19644147sorry ham roller 3 million worldwide is nearly 10x dynamites most recent rating
>>19644191>Balding guy: Oh yeah? Well you're BALDING
>>19644213Don't forget Netflix confirmed over 2 milly every week for Smackdown
>>19643550>contractually obligatedyou think that matters?
>>19644453>rodeo trannies are now learning why it's a good thing to solicit multiple offersYou see, when you have leverage, you can negotiate things like fully-guaranteed deals. When you only get 1 offer from 1 company, the odds drastic go up that your contract isn't guaranteed and can be cancelled early.
>>19644470i guess e-drones know this all too well since slopdown got kicked off fox before their deal was up
>>19643834They did negotiate it for the renewal. That’s why it was in the renewal. Please try using your brain every once in a while.
>>19644577got a source on that one btw
>>196445932 year deal renewal kek. Still probably have buyer’s remorse too kekaroo
>>19643450Interesting, didn’t Nicky Picc guarantee the Paramount deal was happening?
>>19644560WWE and FOX mutually agreed to part ways early because FOX wanted to air additional college football games, which start in late August/early September to get the drop on the NFL season. Smackdown could have been on FOX Sports for a month (makes no sense) or move to USA early, they chose USA.This was covered on the podcast at the time, not sure how you missed it
>>19643592>>WWE getting slowly destroyed by TKOIf by destroyed you mean more successful than it's ever been than yes.
>>19644788so you're saying they got double cancelled
>>19644788i bet you said you and your mom mutually agreed to part ways when she kicked you out of her grain silo last summer too, didnt ya
>>19644154>without context of network changesThe context of RAW is USA network in 2017 was in about 90 million homes versus the 300 million subscribers that Netflix has globally. That makes it look even worse for WWE.
Uh oh sisters did you see the tarps tonight
>>19646505what
>>19643592Thank you based ace for finally defeating the yankoid scurge

>>19645495>why aren't the exact proportion of people in France, Mexico and Brazil watching the American TV show like they are in AmericaThis could take you years to figure out with your limited IQ
>>19647694guy in the front kinda looks like the guy near the barricade
>>19643450Netflix isn't buying Turner. The TV stuff and the partial ownership is staying with Discovery which is unmerging with WB. Netflix is buying DC and the movie stuff like the film library and the studio. Netflix has no interest in leaning further into TV as they've already beaten it, this is about getting a seat at the table with the real players.
>>19643505Discovery isn't a part of this. This is the great divorce where WB gets out of TV.
>>19647694BLUE TROONYOU SAW ME SITTING ALONEWITHOUT A DIME IN MY SIGHTWITHOUT A COCK OF MY OWN
>>19649650>>19649652That still means Netflix will buy HBO MAX which according to Kikeltzer, it gives dynashite 500k viewers (lmao). So now Meltzer will stop adding the cope line of "doesn't include max" at the end of each cope tweet
>>19643450>On our subscription service that people have as a habit do we stick with the 500m a year black hole for the sake of a handful of new subs or do we pay 1/5th of that and get more or less the same viewers
My bold prediction for 2027 is AEW ends up on Prime>Prime trying to increase to weekly shows>AEW pushing Max and Prime for their PPVs>AEW probably sees writing on the wall for WBD given Max isn't even expanding to their second biggest market in the UK
>>19643550>Hmmm should we pay a 100m severance or pay 5billion over ten yearsYou're dumb
You don't have to worry about Paramount or Netflix cancelling AEW. WBD is going to cancel them before the sale.
Imagine thinking Netflix would want a carny indie midget mudshowThey're the premium brand and are only interested in premium brands like Warner brothers and WWE
>>19643809>Dork, elevation, hampage, all cancelled>Cockwave stillbornIt's fucking joever sisters...
