There’s more going on behind the scenes in All Elite Wrestling than just what plays out on Dynamite.Buried inside a CNN article about the political differences between AEW and WWE was a line that caught the attention of wrestling fans and media watchers alike — Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of CNN, reportedly owns a minority stake in AEW. Michael Ballaban wrote the following while comparing the two companies:>“The embrace of contemporary issues is part of a larger, politically shaded rivalry playing out in the industry, between the 7-year-old AEW and the industry’s ruling juggernaut for generations, WWE (Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s parent corporation, owns a minority stake in AEW).”https://www.ringsidenews.com/report-claims-warner-bros-discovery-owns-minority-stake-aew/
>>19890931Wheels got the whole hogcord(5) to slide this
>>19890931>>19891886>minority stakeyou're so fat and stupid that you have no idea what this means lmao
>>19890931This has been known forever now.This is not news.
>>19891970Dave Meltzer owns 3% of AEW
>>19892818he rents space in your head 100% free
>>19892818Meltz is a grifter, rat, and a bullshit artist
>>19890931you know what this means right? AEW is owned by the jews lol.
>>19893295explains why MJF is champion
>>19892818This is schizo headcanon that isn't true
>>19890931will netflix own a piece of aew or will they sell that piece to the market? would be funny if netflix forces wwe and aew to work together kek
>>19890931>Tony had to give part ownership of his company to WBD to stay on the airColour me shocked.
>>19890931>Yes Mr Zaslav I'll pay you triple to keep airing my shitty wrestling shows
>>19890931Intrresting
>>19890931GEE I WONDER WHY (((DAVE))) HAS NEVER MENTIONED THIS
>>19891940Quite the self-report if you consider this to be something that everyone wouldn't know.
>>19895784>%3 to Meltzer>%3 to WBD>%2 to both Bucks>%3 to KennyIf Jericho leaves then he wasn't offered a piece or just told Tony no thanks, same thing Cody did.
>>19895815Tony really is just giving away his daddy's money isn't he
>>19890931This came out during the WBD/Netflix sale a while ago. Slow on the uptake guys.
>>19894507I don’t think it’s that. Honestly. I think it was part of the TV deal to hedge against the future, just in case a million to one occurrence happened. AEW genuinely had some buzz at first and Tony proved he was willing to aggressively try and compete in the space. What if some crazy shit happened and Wrestling hit a boom period and one of the guys turns into a mega star. What’s to stop them from leaving after the first contract is up and saying>thanks for platforming us and helping us blow up. We’re headed to FOX, plug that timeslot with Young Sheldon. Bye. It probably cost them comparatively nothing to buy 3-5 percent of the company, it’s just covering all the angles.
>>19890931What makes it even sweeter is that Tony hates the chants.
8% of the $2b valuation is exactly the reported tv deal. tony paid for tv time and now has to pay production costs for cameras & broadcast trucks. i don't want aew to die but fans need to realize this is ecw on tnn level business.
>>19895845This is a rock solid confirmation though, since CNN was legally required to report it as they're owned by WBD. Now there's no doubt.
>>19895888Actually they aren’t legally required to disclose it. It’s a news piece. They are ethically policing themselves. The only time there’s any sort of FCC oversight about being owned by the same entity is for reviews, when it may be seen as biased or advertising disguised as reviewing. Ironically Meltzer would have to legally disclose it if he was broadcasting reviews on a platform the FCC has any power over. It would be ethically correct to do it, especially since match and show reviews are his bread and butter.
>>19894324>just a rumorSo was the WBD part ownership just a week ago. But let's pretend you're right, Zaslav owning part of AEW was common knowledge.>>19895815Then why would Tony Khan refuse to release AEW ownership details in court? If he wasn't protecting WBD, which part owner was he protecting?
>>19895926cnn has to admit the parent company has a vested interest in aew. so you are a liar. feel free to tell more lies, you don't seem to care about lying, because you are a subhuman liar..
>>19895926lie more soulless bastard
>>19894439I unironically want it to shoot happen. Hell it would be even more hilarious if WWE managed convince Netflix to sell AEW stake to TKO
>>19894439https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/aew-not-to-netflix-in-warner-bros-discovery-deal-ufc-rights-1236478880/Already announced they won't. This is the article that first outted WBD as partial owners too.
>>19890931Tony had to give up a chunk of his company as part of that supposedly great deal he made to stay on the air.
>>19895967>>19895971You have no idea what I said, you are a brain rotted console warring retard. I only pointed out they are not legally required to do the thing that they voluntarily did. They did it to show their perceived journalistic integrity. The only time this becomes a “legal” (and even then it’s not illegal, you just get jammed up on FCC regulatory issues) is if what you are doing is advertising and hiding it as something else, or reviewing something and giving it biased treatment. You don’t have the brainpower to understand that statement so I’ll give you a different one. AEW BAD. Can we be friends now? I always wanted a third world buddy.
>>19896124Tony is such a pushovera total pillow princess
>>19890931lol AEW is just another kike fed
>>19895926>CNN>ethicalLmfao
>>19895957The fact that AEW is literally owned by Tony's mom
>>19890931based. Netflix is gunna buy AEW and shut it down
>>19895873>>19895815>>19891940>>19891970WBD has a last in first out deal where they get their money and equity before tony does so Tony is basically making AEW for free
>>19897023>source: I saw it in a dreamlose weight
>>19895967>>19895926>>19895888CNN does not LEGALLY have to disclose it. they are disclosing it because it's part of their ethics policy because people don't read unethical news sources. It's like the whole kotaku thing from a decade ago. Kotaku was not legally required to disclose that the staff was giving good ratings to games made by friends/roommates or sexual partners. But the fact they did not disclose any of that shit and it came out they were doing it without disclosing it killed their credibility
>oy vey tony, you can't have the briscoes on tv because they like rebel flags and don't like transgender people!>oy vey tony, make sure that chud hulk hogan doesn't show up at one of your shows, ban him immediately! use any excuse you can find!>oy vey tony, make sure you put the belt on MJF again>oy vey tony, we're gonna put activist plants in your audience and we don't care if you like it or not>oy vey tony, you can't book juice robinson for a year because he insulted the chosen people>oy vey tony, we want to see your wrestlers humping each others faces and being straight up homos in the ring>oy vey tony, if you're gonna have sexy women on your show they have to be lesbians! straight goyim must be demoralized!
>>19897042WWE is literally owned by Israeli jews, you fucking retard.
>>19896984a jeet owns AEW?
How did you retards not know about this years ago
Tony Khan has told anyone willing to listen that he owns "More than 90%" of AEW
>>19897067>tony owns 90%>WBD owns 3%>Dave owns 3%>Cawdy owns 3%>cucks own 3% each>vince owns 3%>kenny owns 3%>jerico owns 3%idk man, the math ain't mathin
>>19897144Elite took "EVP" roles over points
>>19897144>a bunch of shit you just made upGod E-drones are so fucking retarded
>>19897052AEW is literally owned by muslim arabs, you fucking retard.
>>19897052NO, REALLY? tell me something I don't already know. fuck tony khan for selling out to the jews just like vince. fuck tony khan for giving aid and comfort to invaders and traitors. WWE sucks ass but AEW has become a gathering place for the worst kind of scum. i reject all false choices.
>>19897167Tony is Catholic like his mother
>>19897167*hard working Immigrants who assimilated to the American way of life*
>>19897199we don't want ANY more immigrants. NONE. GET OUT.
>>19897155It makes you so mad because you know it's true lol
>>19897196>>19897199Tony worships vishnu and gangrape
>>19897264This is entry level racism. I bet you couldn't tell apart an Eritrean from an Ethiopian
>>19897229I don't think Cucks and Cuckmega own separate parts. They are stupid like that.
>>19897272jeets and pakis are a distinction without a difference
>>19897312You will truly never be racist
>>19895926>CNN>ethically policing themselveshahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Kek he began bumping all the bug trash threads This is not going away cripple bro
Why is Toby so scared of releasing who owns AEW?
>>19897417The Meltzer Factorif Dave owns part of AEW, all those yummy whummy stars he gives AEW won't mean shit! whatever legacy Dave would have would be instantly destroyed, all credibility gone.
>>19897546>if
I dunno if anyone here has been following the latest on wbd/paramount/netflix battle, but it sure feels like this is gonna take longer than aew's current deal to be fully settled, the netflix jews and paramount jews are gonna be shiving each other for a bit
>>19890931KEK they are still flooding/spamming
>>19897688It won't take much longer
>>19897042why do crooked desert merchants have to ruin literally everything?
>>19890931this one got the trannycord bubblin' someone better check on hogvert
>>19890931this is very interesting
>>19890931The mask is finally off.
AEW fans a couple of months ago:>THERE IS NO WAY WB HAS A STAKE IN AEW THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE BUT TONY AND HIS FAMILY OWNS THE COMPANY AEW fans today:>WHO CARES IF WB OWNS A PIECE OF AEW WE ALREADY KNEW THIS
KWAB
>>19898907>>19900249>>19900834>waking up every 6 hours to bump your threadsyou are severely mentally ill and obese
>>19900922Trevjection
>>19900922Go bump the dynamite ratings thread from 2 weeks ago again, Pork Roll
>>19900922Guy who wrote the "mask is finally off" post. Leave me out of that as I'm not the one who made that post. If you were a janitor, you'd know it.
Tony should release who owns aew. Hes hiding like epstein
>>19900847It's amazing how much AEW cope is 1:1 with Leftist cope. It almost feels like parody.
>>19901141I tried to give AEW a chance, but they apparently only want left-wing fans so that DQs me pretty quick.
>>19901141Really? I always say them as equivalent to trump cultists only it's whatever Tony and Dave do is right even it contradicts things they specifically said they didn't like before. Just look at the edge and mercedes signings.
>>19901141>MUH POLITICS People like you genuinely make the world worse every single day
>>19901145>>19901150>>19901154Three different and unique POVs.Is /pw/ healing?
Surely this is a good thing if anything? No one can explain what's supposed to be bad about it.
>>19901174Well it confirms what we all thought about Collision only being still on the air because Tony is giving WBD a cut. Also it makes things look grim considering the Netflix sale with Netflix already saying they don't want AEW.
>>19901174mix of concern trolling and outright stupidity, which is basically another day on /pw/
>>19901174It's good if you're an AEW fan cause it basically means they will remain on TV unless something drastic happens but it's also good if you're not a fan of AEW because it confirms that TK has never made a penny from AEW which makes him objectively worse at owning and booking a wrestling show than Eric or Dixie which is saying quite a lot.
>>19901174for me it's like how everyone started coming out saying powerhouse hobbs is obviously 41 the moment his aew contract was upthere is real info out there not being reported by "journalists" until suddenly it's no longer under a certain banner and thus now it's fair gamei am certain some wrestling "journalists" knew this but wouldn't say anything, meanwhile a real reporter just spills the beans because it's relevant info that should be reported and they're not playing some stupid game to be on the good side of a wrestling promotion or fanbase or whateverthese are the same people that gaslit about the invisible 6 million on MAX and won't touch a missing rating for a certain week. get some fucking pom poms at that point and drop the pretense of neutrality, queers
>>19901154oh he's seething now kek >>19901402Cripplewheels hates America
>>19901417Monumental coping on your part.
>>19901209>TK has never made a penny from AEW which makes him objectively worse at owning and booking a wrestling show than Eric or Dixie which is saying quite a lot.Tsar Bomba levels of TRVKE
>>19901150good morning, saar!>>19901174there's a good chance tony isn't actually making money and WBD is getting equity to make up for the lack of cash tony is pulling in
>>19901426Crippy got nuked! Stay in your lane, Crippy.
>>19890931>please give us a deal! I’ll make you co owners…you can have jericho’s share and an extra 10%yike
>>19890931oh shit aew is in deep shit kek no wonder meltzer is shitting his pants
>>19905589It's gotta be something really bad, optics wise. Because Tony won't even let the court look at his shady dealings. Since "everybody" already knew WBD owned a part of AEW, who is Tony hiding? I think it's ties to terrorism. And if that's true I'm going to take Tony out myself.
>>19890931can’t stop laughing at AEWlmao!!!
>>19905608It's probably money laundering, but I wouldn't be surprised if Shad had ties to terrorism.
>>19905626We need to hire a prostitute to seduce Shahid and show the sex tape to Mrs. Kahn. It will lead to a messy divorce and make Tony's life miserable. He dies 6 weeks later from an accidental overdose.
>>19905734>hire a prostituteCatalina Hager is back to making real porn again. I assume the stunt cock is her new bf and homeboy is tiny. Xavier Woods tiny.
>>19901162>Is /pw/ healing?Until AEW is DEAD, the cancer shall remain
>>19890931Dave in shambles
>>19890931Tony gave part of the company to... the network?! OH NO NO NO!That's like donating 70% of every paycheck to your boss just so you have the pleasure of working for him.Tony's Daddy finna be pissed when we tell him.
>>19908510>"DON'T TELL DADDY!"
>>19897023holy shit truth nvke
>>19906773starting to think you may be right. if AEW were to fall, I think a lot of troons and marxists would move on to some other hobby and leave us alone. however, I'm pretty sure we would have to get rid of GCW as well.
>pays themselves millions of dollars to produce dynamite and then claim AEW is profitable through third partiesMy friends, this is embezzlement.
>>19908510WB having some stake in the company was most likely part of the negotiations to get them on TV in the first place.
>>19909880No shit. You're on Day 1.7 years in, I don't even think Tony is a majority owner anymore
>>19909977Technically AEW is owned under a shell company called Elite Promotions that is co-owned by Shad and Tony. If Elite Promotions no longer had a majority stake, Tony wouldn't be booking the show anymore.
>>19897042if 10 million jews can take over the planet maybe they are the superior race and we should bow down to our betters?
>>19910040Beatnik Investments is the primary owner which is overseen by Tony's mother.
>>19890931Secrets are Epstein tier. Tony is an evil liar and one day I will punch him in the junk.
>>19891886trvthnvke
>>19890931>owns a minority stake in AEWSo does Dave Meltzer3%Tony will do ANYTHING for 5 Stars
lol tony works for the jews
>>19914678many confirming this
>>19905634>It's probably money launderingThat's obvious. With all the latest news, doesn't look like you need to try hard to defraud the American government as long as you don't step out of line and at least attempt to cover it up. We got Democrats in MN that robbed tax payers of millions and millions of dollars. It took one kid with a camera and a microphone to take them down. We should send him after the Khan Family next!
>>19890931
>>19890931Wow the trannies tried to hide this
>>19890931meltz never reported this in the seven years aew has existed. makes you think hes not that great of a reporter at all.
Tony is fucked
>>19895883>8% of the $2b valuation is exactly the reported tv deal.source?
>>19919581That reminds me, I got to watch the latest Bischoff podcast clip, apparently he goes scorched earth on Meltzer totally destroying him.
>>19920716That sounds boring. I recommend doing something else
>>19891886Yup
>>19890931Evil company
>>19896075It makes sense, aew is fucking shit
>>19905634Can you imagine it? All of us laughing at this fucking stupid dork hemorrhaging money just to turn out he's pulling a money laundry operation with the overpriced contracts
>>19905734Are you fucking nuts?? Tony is the greatest kwab provider this world has seen, a talent of a lifetime. He must be protected at all costs so he keeps embarrassing himself on camera
>>19920716>The most pathetic senior citizen 'in' wrestling "goes scorched earth" on a guy he never liked to begin with and thinks is an easy target despite, somehow, with all his opportunities, being much less successful than him, "totally destroying him"
If they own AEW why did they only agree to continue broadcasting them until the very last minute?
>>19923324Because they only own like 5% dummy
>>19895883all schizo headcanon btw
>>19923922Tony probably doesn't even have a majority stake. His Mom's shell company owns AEW.
>>19890931It's over
>>19923322Dave will not have gay sex with you or unban you from his forum for defending his honor
>>19925178Yeah he will
>>19890931LOL FUCK AEW
>>19926865The IRS needs to look at their books
>>19927926Mike Rotunda is on his way
>>19926865why is this a bad thing?
>>19927926lesbian won't do shit
>>19923324>>19923594I think Tony sold part of AEW to them during his business trip to see Zaslav in Paris. He talked about it openly which is baffling. The network didn't need Tony to fly all the way out to Paris on a very specific date/time to discuss contracts. Zaslav big timed him. And as such was able to low ball Tony.
>>19929561That's actually interesting.
>>19931305I never get any traction on /aspw/ when I bring it up. Probably because nobody here has experience in the business world. Just like Tony unironically.Contract negotiations are usually an ongoing process requiring negotiations. Typically over the web or simply using a telephone. Parties don't even need to ever meet to have a new contract signed, sealed and delivered. Think of it this way, do you think Zaslav made Netflix CEOs fly to Croatia for a 1 hour meeting? Tony got played.
>>19931814>I never get any traction on /aspw/ when I bring it up.maybe because it's pure schizo headcanon? >Contract negotiations are usually an ongoing process requiring negotiationsWOW guys we got us a certitifed Business Insider here!
>>19931901>Typically over the web or simply using a telephone.He must be a Masters degree holder with this level of technical insight lmao
>>19931901>>19931903>samefagHi Wheels!
>>19931814Tony had no cards to play. And that hasn't changed. AEW IS DEAD.
>>19890931Where the fuck is wheeler to defend this?
>>19932582They kept him up past his bedtime. Don't worry, he's up now. I just saw that criptard necrobumping threads with>cooked that pig
>>19890931Lil Nicky knew all along
>>19890931When Zaalav sells his 10% shares I'll buy it for $6
>>19890931Trannies quiet after this nuke
>>19924403>His Mom's shell company owns AEW.Not counting WBD and Dave Meltzer's shares
dire
>signed the hottest free agents in wrestling at a time when they were drawing crazy without a promotional vehicle, arguably better than wwe's peaks>built a promotion around them>convinced WB to put them on TV through small equity>now gets hundreds of millions from them>even at its lowest point, the equity probably caused them to look favorably on the project>by all accounts, 10x'd his initial 100m investment.how is tk a money mark again?
>>19937498>tl;dr
>>19937498>>signed the hottest free agents in wrestling at a time when they were drawing crazyall of the aew wrestlers are gay losers who can't draw
>>19937498Why are ignoring the fact that he has lost at least 8 figures a year until last year?
>>19937498>now gets hundreds of millions from themFatso got jokes
>>19938365I wouldn't trust any financial information willingly given by Tony and his paid media. Ask Dave and he'll tell ya that AEW has made a profit since Day 1.
>>19890931Can't believe that we had to get real news from those hacks
>>19890931RIPiss AEW
>>19940128What did you expect? Prowrestling media sold out long ago when they made Vince McMahon the enemy.
>>19941397Facts
What exactly does this mean? Need an experts opinion
>>19941397That rapist guy? What ever happened to him? Hopefully jail or dead
>>19942127I know it's facts. All I spit is the truth.WWF created prowrestling. They're the daddy. And Hulkamania is the mommy. Notice that all the Vince haters have divorced or dead parents and it will all make sense.
>>19942713>hulk hogans a trannySounds about right
>>19942719Don't be so hateful, brother. Hulk loved everybody. So that proves he wasn't racist. Plus he got into Heaven. So judge not unless thee be judged.
>>19942207Marty just took a picture with Hangmam. He looked healthy
>>19943721Cody's friend Marty?
>>19919581Dave already knew about WBD because he owns 3% and has access to all the proprietary information. He couldn't report on it because he would have had to reveal his sources.
>>19890931I think the FCC would be interested in this
>>19943751>10 years agoYou thought you had something here huh?
>>19946043Everyone knew about the bar incident at the time
>>19946079and Cody remained friends with him?!?YIKES
>>19944840We need some sort of Federal investigation. Tony belongs in prison.
>>19890931Lol this is so sad for gAyEW
