AEW got EVERYTHING they wanted.

Multi year extension, 180+ million, non-exclusivity deal (meaning Shockwave replacing Smackdown on FOX is real), MAX streaming and PPVs on MAX, ROH to TruTV (finally off HonorClub+), phaseout of Rampage for Shockwave while increasing yearly revenue, and per SRS, movement into profitability if not opted out.

How will E drones reckon with this? This is the type of massive, unrelenting, UNDENIABLE victory that I think even they just have to give Tony props. Hence why there’s been so much silence and shock, rather than outrage. This really is truly impressive.

WBD is on the verge of total bankruptcy. There may not even be a contract to opt out of next year.

there's no way they're profitable with 150 milly per year. that'll cover his roster AND MAYBE the licensing for The Final Countdown
>>
>>15970187
there's maybe 10 wrestlers on the roster making anything close to a million dollars a year, most of the midcard and lowcard are making mark contract numbers (aka a handshake and a hotdog)

edrones in 2019: kek they'll be lucky to be paid in hotdogs, how sad

You're approaching Qanon /pol/ levels of delusion.
This is a huge deal for AEW and I'm honestly surprised it went that well for them. The Herculean task ahead of them is to pull their viewership and attendance numbers back up out of the gutter.
Thankfully, they have 3 years to figure out how to do so.

pip is definitely making 70k but thats reasonable desu

What is their production cost per hour? I know WWE, with the capacity to do EVERYTHING in-house still pays between two and three million an episode in production costs per episode.
>>
>>15972769
The movie?
>>
>>15972770
I forgot to mention that was for RAW and Smackdown, I am sure the costs for NXT is closer to a milly

There are definitely more than 30 wrestlers making 5+ milli a year AFTER taxes
Guess how much that amounts to lmao

>>15972770
150 million doesn't even cover talent
You take the evps, their stooges, swerve, MJF, baker, mone, riiiihooooooo, all those retards make several million a year, and there are god knows how many guys getting paid high 6 figures for showing up twice a year, guys getting money that haven't been on TV ever, etc.
Every show loses money on the gates before production costs because that's what happens when 2000 people show up with BOGO tickets in a 25k arena
AEW is a joke
>>
>>15972795
lol
So you're telling me that the evps and their pals make less than a million a year? Swerve got re-signed for god knows how much, the woman division has at least 5 girls making more than 2 mil, but AEW troons are now pretending that everybody is making 80k a year because it's the only way their schizo delusion of AEW not being a poorly managed madhouse makes sense.
>>
>>15972808
>So you're telling me that the evps and their pals make less than a million a year?
Kenny and the Bucks Make a cool milly. Cody did too, until WWE offered him more money.
>some people make over a million, so everyone probably does!
Mox and Jericho make a milly. That's about it.
>>
>>15972808
only moxley, jericho, and mjf make over a milly for sure
>>
>>15972822
>Make a cool milly
>Mox and Jericho make a milly
Fucking lmao
Get your head out of your ass, they all make more than that
We know swerve, ospreay and mjf make more than that, otherwise they'd be back in a promotion with an actual audience showing up to the shows
Mone and Baker as well, but because Tony is a dumb mark
So you're telling me that the evps, Jericho and mox barely make a million?
lmao is what I say, lol even

Literally no u, fucking tranny

Bucks, Jericho, Swerve, MJF, Ospreay, Danielson, Okada, Ibushi, Copeland, Cage, Pockets, Darby, Jarett, Moxley, Ricochet, maybe FTR, Mariah May, Mone, Baker, Riho, that's 22 and I'm probably forgetting some obvious names

>>
>>15973083
Yeah they're still eating huge losses. Looks like Shad is going to have to keep paying to keep his retard son out of the family businesses.
>>
>>15973053
lol you bet they are
Pockets and Jarrett, not even possible to argue, one is Tony's self-insure, the other a veteran carny
Ricochet is a recent ex-WWE signing, Tony definitely broke the bank for his newest toy
Baker is absolutely on more than 1 mil a year
Riho is fucking Kenny, so of course she is
FTR are a bunch of losers, but they sure got over 1 mil a piece when they last re-signed
That leaves Darby who is one of the company's mascots, so unless he has no balls, he's on 1+mil a year
Mariah May got a belt so she can definitely ask for 1+ mil
>>
>>15973050
Oh look Big Dave agrees with me that Tony is a braindead mark who pays anyone who asks a million+
What a shock
>>
>>15973096
>thinks fucking Jeff Jarrett is getting a million a year
lmao you fucking retard
>>
>>15973103
Yes Tony is definitely known for underpaying veterans he's a fan of, and Jarrett is definitely known for never ever pushing and whining for bigger paydays
I'm sure he's very happy with 20k a year and the pride and joy of wrestling with the best in front of packed crowds for the humble son of a cobbler
Fucking lmao

Every interview with and about Jeff Jarrett ever

Jeff has been broke since gfw flopped, it's why he was so mad that hunter fired him, he has no leverage to demand a million dollars a year contract, you are retarded
>>
>>15973148
Oh yeah he has no leverage, except his name recognition and the fact that the guy he negotiates with is a complete mark, I'm sure Tough Guy Tony will never get carnied by the last true carny in the business kek

ITT: marks who think wrestlers make millions a year

not even in wwe is this the case for 90% of wrestlers. you idiots really think cora jade or chad gable make more than 80k a year….lmfao. and i’m supposed to think tony khan is paying Angelico or Marko Stunt 500k?
>>
>>15973271
104 million a year on talent according to big Dave, where is it going if not on complete shitters kek
>>
>>15973271
You know who else is a mark who thinks wrestlers make millions a year? Tony Khan
>>
>>15973271
they unironically do think that lol
>>
>>15969983
You guys said a year ago the were getting a 1 billion dollar deal but the reality was they got a 500 million deal and one of their shows was cancelled due to poor performance. :)
>>
>>15969983
Renewal Day truly is glorious, but that being said PLEASE BE SAFE AEW FANS. Once Tony officially makes the announcement himself, there’s no telling what the e drones may do. Clearly, by the response in this thread, they are in the denial phase….

Soon…comes anger. Rage, even. And we must be vigilant.
>>
>>15972822
