Lmao trannies KWAB!!! They turned Tony down for an FS1 show because of declining ratings... ACTUAL FOX WAS NEVER IN PLAY... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAll that time spent spamming Fox threads only to get told you aren't good enough for FS1 LMFAOoooooooooo
>>16571301Hogxirs...
>>16571301Shockwave has been canceled
>>16571301KWABThere's nothing I love more than laughing at AEW.
>>16571301kek what a pissant company
>>16571301Grim shit.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>16571301Shockwave was aborted
Guys... I love LAUGHING at AEW!!!!
>>16571301KEK
>>16571301Schlockwave was aborted in an alley in the cold winter of '24
Remember when they bragged about a Fox deal and it ended up being limited showings on Fox MEXICO lmao
>>16571301kek AEW fucking sucks I'm afraid!!!!
>>16571301Shouldn't they be shopping around for a new network for Rampage, or is that show just damaged goods at this point?
>>16571414Tony is already making public statements about how good it will be to not have to make Hampage anymore. It's done for good
>>16571414They're ending Rampage to make room to produce Shockwave if it happens. Rampage was just taped matches of whoever wasn't on the Dynamite or Collision card after those shows were done. Essentially free content to produce with the venue already booked and talent already there for the other shows. Pretty much their Main Event kek. People really blow this shit out of proportion
>>16571301Imagine getting aborted by FS1
>>16571301console faggotry aside I genuinely thought they'd get shockwave. if "declining ratings" was the problem then why the fuck did talks begin? even the most die hard aew fag can admit the ratings were dropping before shockwave was ever uttered. I'm gonna sound like an aew schizophrenic but surely something else went down to fuck this up? maybe the jokesonville jaguars swayed opnions at fox?
>>16571530Talks never began. You are absolutely fucking retarded if you ever for a single second thought Fox wanted anything to do with a piss ant indie that can’t even compete with wwe’s wrestling school
Has anyone checked on Hogwheels?
>>16571530all speculation but obviously WBD wanted to cut back and didn't want three shows and Tony in his hubris just assumed it would be picked up and leaked the "negotiations" to meltzer (never happened) now plans change blah blah
>>16571301>gting turned down by FS1
>>16571301Damn Tony is a bitch
>>16571301Grim
>>16571301Oh wow so it's doing as well as Smackdown is on Fox
Vince is going to jail and Tony is richer than him
>>16571561this is the best theory i can think of>>16571540didn't the fox guy mention the deal falling apart? I could be completely wrong but that was what I was working with. If there's zero verifiable proof that talks ever happened then shockwave might be the kwaboty of wrestling shows with zero close compititon but I thought it at least had a meeting
>>16571530Fox willingly allowed themselves to be outbid for Smackdown/WWE. How anyone thought they'd make a play for an AEW show is fucking insane. They weren't satisfied with Smackdown's numbers, 2/3 weeks in Shockwave would've been moved from the actually Fox network channel to FS1 or straight up dropped all together.
>>16571595Tony is not richer than Vince and Slopwave never happened
>>16571595vinco will never see a cell but the second part is true and only getting truer
>>16571595>Tony is richer than himNo his daddy is.
>>16571585Smackdown had millions of viewers on Fox and made billions of dollars from Fox and is continuing to do so on usa.Schlockwave was aborted with a coat hanger without ever earning a cent or being viewed by anyone.
>>16571561i think this too. he tried to use the threat of a new show to squeeze more out of WBD ("if you don't pay for it someone else will") and they called his bluff.
meanwhile smackdown was not cancelled because fox was outbid for it by netflix
>>16571606doesnt tony's dad beat vince in wealth? hate it or love it the majority goes to tiny kwab when the chad kahn dies
>>16571602It was never being pitched for Fox. It was always FS1 and even they didn't want it. I guess they'd rather have bull riding and poker.
Why did meltzer reported this anti aew news. I hate him
>>16571636Damn imagine getting dabbed on by PBR
>>16571301I'd say based Lachlan but FS1 is so minor league that the pitch probably never even got to him lmao.
>>16571673You're right, it's this guy, Eric Shanks. I guess you could say that Slopwave got SHANKED in the womb!
>>16571563>gting turned down by FS1but enough about smackdown
>>16571301hogston legit thought shockwave was replacing smackdown lmao
>>16571624>Smackdown had>hadKek. Where'd they all go? What timeslot does WWE have with Fox now? The same as a show that never even existed
>>16571635Tony’s inheritance from his dad is all going to aew which has still not made a cent in profit
>>16571705Thank you based Shanks
>>16571742you're right actually. shad still has the daughter to hold out hope for i guess; maybe she will start a makeup brand or something profitable
>>16571729The WWE was paid more money to move the program to USA. The show that never existed was unwanted by all. It's not hard to understand if you apply yourself.
>>16571780Please have patience, aew fans are incredibly stupid, borderline illiterate, and very very poor
>>16571780>was paid more moneyMore money than what? Fox never made an offer to keep them lmfao
>>16571807More money than they were making before, you illiterate fucking tranny. Jesus Christ lmao
>>16571807They wanted to run the same deal again and USA swooped in with the bag after losing Raw to netflix
>>16571883Exactly. Fox made zero attempts to keep them
>>16571301>not good enough for FS1
>>16571856Fox stopped airing Smackdown a full month sooner than their deal ran for with WWE. If it was such a money making endeavor for them that they were totally benefitting from then why would they not try and keep every episode they could on their network? Because it wasn't. It was a money pit for them with advertising nad they couldn't wait to drop it
>>16571886So trying to re-up the deal isn't trying?
>>16571909False, they weren't keeping it and wanted to run the entire season of College football instead of 2/3rds. It made sense for both parties to part ways early.
>>16571301Kek What A Bitch Of The Year
>>16571301Hogwheels has to be seething
>>16571944Oh he is, read through the thread.
>>16571301Everything always backfires on them. It's truly hilarious.
Nobody's going to pay money for cat food spread on a playing card.
>>16571301Wow talk about embarrassing
>>16571301There's a Tony Award for KWABOTY but is there a Tony Award for this category?
I will never understand why AEW fans wanted Shockwave on Fox. Being on Fox means no overrun which Tony loves, have to adhere to censorship like SD with the constant blackscreens and muting, and time slot wise there was nothing open for it.>Cant put it on Monday because of Raw and Football>Tuesday puts it against NXT>Thursday is free but that’s against football and the day after Dynamite >Fox already had College Football lined up for Fridays>Sunday conflicts with footballUnless you want it FS1 or in an 11 PM timeslot it was obvious Shockwave was never going to Fox
>>16572368Shockwave was just an attempt at leverage in the WBD deal.
>>16572368I honestly think it was an attempt to try to lie and dab on WWE somehow they'll backfired when wrestling fans were autistic and did not forget about the lie. They had just gotten their new deal which was for way less money than Tony wanted and they were desperate for any kind of forward momentum.
>>16571301KWAB
>>16571301Hogbros....
>>16571301>AEW lost again AAAAAAHHHHH! I'M NOT OK! I'M NOT OK!!
>>16572531This, it was after Smackdown moved to the USA network so Tony tried to dunk on WWE and see if FOX would replace their programming with AEW.
>>16572946It's wild to realize a crippled pig man really posts her. What a time to be alive.
>VERY INTERESTING THAT IT'S ON FS1kek nice try Tony
>>16572962Lol he tried so hard
Swerve Strickland said that AEW was replacing smackdown on Fox though, why would he lie?
This is what happens when you choose a Jack Who and a Hangman over C.M. fucking PUNK
>>16572531>They had just gotten their new deal which was for way less money than Tony wanted and they were desperate for any kind of forward momentum.This is the real reason. He'd recently had the underwhelming second All In show at a half empty Wembley as well. They really needed some good news and the Fox thing provided a helpful cope. It was never actually on the cards and Fox was never interested.
>>16571301Kek what a shithole company
>>16571931>FalseProceeds to explain how it's entirely true>they weren't keeping it and wanted to run the entire season of College football instead of 2/3rds.Lmfaoooo
>>16571530It was a leverage play from Tony during the WBD negotiations. He trademarked a new show name and leaked to the usual retards that there were negotiations for a show outside of WBD (since there clearly wasn’t a second suitor for those shows).
Hogwheels has reported this thread 96 times which is the same amount of weeks it's been since AEW drew a milly
>>16573237WWE also wanted out since they would make more money on USA. WWE made more money without Fox. Fox ended up losing money without WWE and that's just a fact. If what you're saying is true then Fox played themselves because CFB is doing a lot worse numbers than WWE since no good teams will play Friday nights
>>16573327That was a really dumb move by Lachlan.
>>16573312And still it stays up. There might be a lesson in there for him, if he wasn't as thick as pigshit.
>>16573332kek based lachlan
>>16571301Why would they? When even Dynamite is barely doing 500K, who wants an AEE B show when they just canceled one?
>>16571453It isn't free to rent an arena and their staff longer, or to produce an hour of television. It was a huge loss since it generated no extra ticket revenue, fans left in droves during it, and they never really got much from the network for it.
>>16571301B-But the demo?
>random speculation is newsthis is why we call you drones
>>16573786Shockwave’s entire existence is based on speculation but that didn’t stop faggots like you celebrating it supposedly appearing on fox.
>>16573786So Dave speculating about AEW's valuation, and Forbes then citing Dave's speculation to make up a fake $2B figure is OKBut Dave speculating about why Fox did not want the dogshit purportedly to be known as Shockwave is not to be trusted, because it's only speculationSure thing dicksucker, flawless logic right there
>>16573819Dave literally said there were talks, and then speculated about why we didn't get an update. Media literacy really isn't your forté>>16573830kek, Forbes is #1 in wealth reporting in the world but they got fleeced by Dave Meltzer. And you are smarter than them, despite living in a trailer park and being on welfare.
>>16573848>And you are smarter than them, despite living in a trailer park and being on welfare.You're telling on yourself again Porkwheels.
>>16573848Dave speculated that there were talks.
Fox is a chud network anyway
>>16571301WTF I thought ratings didn't matter.
>>16574073work on your english rakesh
>>16574104>resorts to ad hominem because he knows I'm right and he's wrong I accept your total, unqualified surrender
>>16571301Dave Meltzer told me that AEW's key demo was great and that the key demo is all that matters. He told me their total viewership decline was in line with cordcutting. Is Fox out of touch with modern television viewing trends?
Rough day to be an aew fan
>>16574190Well it is a day that ends in y.
>Dave's thoughts matter nowGlad I'm not a brain dead hypocrite like edrones are
>>16574222Saddest cope I’ve seen yet from the aewtard
>>16574225Keep reading, there's more coming. gAyEW trannies don't know how to cope with the fact Shockwave isn't coming, so they're fabricating everything as they go along. You ain't seen nothing yet.
>>16571301>What the fuck is this tranny bartender? Shockwave? Only shock you're going to get is when I wave you out of the room, you filthy pajeetKek, Lachmeister does it again
>>16571301AEW Shockwave has to be the biggest e-drone psychop in history.Never once has the show been brought up by anyone officially. It doesn't exist. Yet, dronies claim nobody is interested in a show that only exists in their minds and that it has been cancelled.
>>16574394TIL Dave Meltzer is a dronie
>>16574394AEW literally filed a trademark for "AEW: Shockwave", retard.
>>16571301>thinking someone's going to put "let me give you aids by sticking a needle in your cheek brother" wrestling on network TV
>>16571595And the two of them bitches bow down to the King of Kings.
>>16574415Nobody ever said anything about it being a 2 hour TV show shopped to Fox.This is all dronie headcanon.
>>16571301Tony really had all of his little minions talk about a show that doesn't exist
AEW is patheticTony is patheticHoggers is pathetic
>>16574394full retard has been achievedmaybe you'll finally shut the fuck up about it then
>>16571301Billy Corgan bought the trademark for Shockwave eight after Tony announced it.https://furm.com/trademarks/nwa-shockwave-98765661
>>16575628*right after
>>16575604Take your meds
>>16573786So true, there's actually a really good argument to be made that Shockwave was never talked about in serious discussions whatsoever and Meltzer is lying.
>>16571301TYBL
>>16571301So...Still Tony?
>>16576260Then. Now. Forever. Still Tony
>>16575662your obsession with being the first to announce something has blown up in your face once again
>>16571301Kek trannies in the mud
>>16575877We actually discovered that since the Big League Foxnwas never in play, it was actually Eric Shanks who aborted shitwave.
>>16573052This is what happens when you swap out cody, the elite and the all in 2018 crew for a retarded nepo baby. AEW isn't a show crafted by indy/underused WWE talent bring an alternative. It's a smark fed ran by sperg trying his hardest to play with Vince McMahons toy box the right way, tony's way. I'll take the weird mix of WCW Nitro, Indy Fed and codyverse over the boring shitter fed that doesn't know if it's WWE or NJPW but believes itself to be superior to both. It's a product for one person and that person is a faggot.
