AEW is saved
>>19965164how does paramount has that much money? aren't they also struggling to make any money out of their movies and tv?
>>19965164Bad year for edrones. the pendulum swing is real.
>>19965174Israel and raghead support
>>19965174it's like that Matthew McConaughey scene in Wolf of Wall Street "it's all in the ether, dont think about it"
Reddit is saying the opposite and AEW is doomed and going to become a MAGA company if anything?
>>19965164Netflix didn't want the cable channels. Paramount does. UFC is on Paramount. AEW is finished. I told you all this was going to happen months ago because this administration picks winners and losers.
>>19965164Paramount is run by MAGA. Those cute little chants are going bye-bye.
>>19965175Netflix was literally the only chance of saving AEW, Paramount is deeply in bed with the current admin
>>19965164But this would actually be worse for AEW. Netflix didn't want the actual tv channels. Paramount does
>>19965174It's owners dad is worth a quarter trilly
>>19965195Paramount let Matt and Trey nuke the POTUS and is allowing whatever the hell Star Trek is. They only care about what the news assets are doing.
Paramount took out an amount of debt that is unsustainable
>>19965192>>19965193>>19965198Since we now know WBD has a part ownership in AEW that would also mean Paramount would be acquiring that percentage of ownership as well. Seeing as Paramount is already partners with TKO that doesn't look particularly promising for AEW
>>19965225I don't see Triple H bossing the Ellisons around
I guarantee you they do not give a shit about AEW either way. This is all about Israel gaining even more control over the media.
>>19965233Triple H doesn't own WWE dipshit
>>19965233TKO is worth 5 times the amount paramount is
>>19965256I doubt the TKO guys care about Paul and Tony's pissing contest. Paramount is also partnered with the NFL by the way.>>19965265Cool, but I don't think they're interesting in selling.
>>19965256No, but he sure loves to pretend he does.
>>19965164the pendulum is a real phenomenon
Reminder that none of this even matters because Tony Khan has the infinite money glitch and has already said that he'd just run the show on youtube if he had to
>>19965272To be fair like every streaming service is paired with the NFL at this point but really i dont see TKO seeing a conflict of interest here, paramount airs UFC not WWE after all its just hilarious that tiny is getting passed around like a freshman at a frat party
>>19965272>I doubt the TKO guys care about Paul and Tony's pissing contest.True but I'm sure TKO would love to see AEW gone>Paramount is also partnered with the NFL by the way.The fuck does that have to do with wrestling?
>>19965164RIP AEW, this is absolutely the worst case scenario for them
>>19965311I doubt TKO cares, especially enough for Ari to go around fighting Paul's battles for him. UFC was fine with other MMA brands on ESPN. All of the contention is coming from WWE. >The fuck does that have to do with wrestling?You know the Khans own the Jags right? Shad is influential in the league as well and chairs a bunch of boards there.
>>19965281You gonna cry about it?
Tone dog wins again
>>19965328What did he "win"? Paramount is on the verge of shuttering all of its cable channels. If they buy WBD, there's a very real chance TBS and TNT disappear in a few years in favor of streaming.
>>19965328I can't begin to describe to you how catastrophic this is for AEW, Paramount has pledged to cut $6 Billion per year from WBD production
>>19965351No they didnt
>>19965324>I doubt TKO cares about having the chance to deliver the ultimate kill shot to the challenger brand of its highest earning propertyAre you retarded my nigga?
>>19965351Wrestling is cheap and if their deal is like WWE's, they handle all production themselves.
>>19965341>>19965351Got em squealin.
>>19965367It doesn't really make much a difference to their bottom line to be worth the risks. And it's hardly a kill shot. If TNA can find a new deal so can they.
>>19965174they don't have it kek they're pretty much absorbing even more debt
>>19965293Based of him to run it into the ground so the ratings threads are more entertaining than the actual shows
>Trannies think the worst case scenario was the better one
>>19965384did they work themselves into a shoot? maybe they thought netflix would outbid them lol
>>19965406the ratings threads are just you necrobumping them for 2 weeksno rational person cares about the aew ratings when up to half of them are behind a streaming wall
>>19965358Look it up, they also pledged to cut up to 30,000 jobs from WBD, this is unironically one of the darkest days in Hollywood history
>>19965195WTF?! I LOVE PARAMOUNT NOW
>>19965424I've been keeping up on everything, they said that's not coming from production.
>>19965164Zionist jews 100% own Trump. Netflix is regular faggot jews.
>>19965435I literally work in Hollywood, I nearly puked when the news hit, I know hundreds of people in WBD who were terrified of this happening
>>19965351we're still gonna get an all in in tel aviv where mjf gets the belt and celebrates with some idf nuggies, ellison and jared
>>19965424>>19965445wow because WBD was doing so well before the merger
>>19965174We're at the point where these companies are just moving the same money around over and over
WE JUST KEEP WINNING SICKOS
>>19965486Paramount is doing even worse kek
>>19965164Likely chance this literally kills AEW
>>19965576*In its current form I should clarify. Obviously as long as Shad's pockets are open it will never truly die.
>>19965175Paramount is Pro-Trump and has a 7 billion dollar deal with UFC. 1/2 bill AEW is dead in the water
Israel is buying up all American wrestling. And news, but the wrestling is what really concerns me
>>19965445jokes aside, sorry bro, people are definitely going to lose houses/retirement over this. Not C-suite types, not wrestlers, not musicians and actors, but normal people who just show up to their 9-5 and do their bess.
>>19965607Trump isn't obsessed with AEW
>>19965617are you familiar with the phrase "tie goes to the runner"?a pro-Trump company isn't going to go out of their way to do favors for AEW
>>19965576Zero chance actually but thanks for contributing
>If Netflix wins the bid, Discovery Global or whatever Gunnnar's linear sub is being called, spins off this summer. It probably can't scale or survive on its own without additional M&A roll ups. If Paramount wins the bid, expect them to cancel AEW programming.It's never been more over for AEW
>>19965635I'm sure the FBI is raiding the AEW offices in Jacksonville as we speak
>>19965614It's going to be brutal, they've borrowed so much money to do this that they're going to cut back on everything to saves costs, and it won't be the studio heads losing their jobs
i imagine netflix is gonna let this ellison jew attempt to bleed himself dry with the legal fees this all entails and there is also the uphill climb that involves europe as well, half decent chance this all falls apart and netflix gets wbd on the cheap
>>19965702kek edrones are deranged
>>19965702every channel Paramount acquires is going to be stripped of original content and loaded up with the cheapest filler they can findliterally every single other fucking thread in the history of /pw/, you would agree with me that corporations do this kind of stuff and they're assholes for doing it. you really going to disagree NOW, this one individual time, because it's AEW in the crosshairs? Really? And you expect to have any credibility left over after the fact?
>>19965413They don't care if they go bankrupt ,they just need trump to control CNN for 2 years lol. Netflix is going to buy them both for like half the price by 2030
>>19965805You're just making things up now
AEW isn't going anywhere. In fact, this makes it more likely that they'll get renewed
>>19965821Explain to me why a debt-overloaded Paramount wouldn't strip original programming from linear TV channels at a time when cable continues to decline severely. Are you mentally handicapped?The market leader in streaming drops original IP in giant chunks. Everyone who is failing drops episodic TV in 1-episode intervals. This is all common sense. Don't make me go full Dave Meltzer on you.
>>19965831Even with UFC, it's a double edged sword. You can make the argument TKO will want to fuck with it but from Paramount's perspective having wrestling and MMA on the same platform has synergies. That's the whole reason TKO exists.>>19965835https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Paramount_channels
>>19965831every single one of those TV channels will have high-priced original content stripped out and replaced with movies, syndicated shows/sitcom re-runs and reality TV slop.If AEW sticks around, they're getting a SEVERE pay-cut to the point of not being worth it
>>19965851Tony doesn't care if they get a pay cut. AEW is a hobby for him, not a business. He just wants to make sure it's on TV one way or another
>>19965850there is no synergy possible when TKO would prohibit their fighters from appearing on AEW programming and vice versa. Why are you pretending to not understand what's going on here? You do realize that everywhere outside of /pw/ is panicking right now and your act is completely transparent, correct?
>>19965851>pay cut i still think theres a performance bond that tiny had to pay to get signed that he absolutely hasnt met yet
Paramount is going to rape CNN, but it won't do anything to AEW, Sure, AEWtists, sure.
>>19965859>TKO would prohibit their fighters from appearing on AEWlol who gives a shit. UFC hasn't been relevant in years. It's the most uninteresting and unpopular it's been since it's inception
>>19965858Tony is currently bleeding a quarter billion dollars a year on AEW alone and can’t afford to run advertising on his tentpole shows
>>19965871>Tony is currently bleeding a quarter billion dollars a yearOh really? Point to the quarterly earnings report you saw that in. Oh you cant because AEW is a private company
>>19965859Why you need that? You'd have AEW fans on P+ checking out UFC and vice versa, airing ads for eachother, etc.
>>19965863>Tr*mp is sitting in the Oval Office all day seething about AEW just like me
>>19965867let's go through the next 5 posts, shall we?-You say UFC isn't relevant-I point out how they're making more revenue than ever-You say some retarded shit about how paypigs overpaying doesn't make it relevant-I point out how Paramount paid 7.7 billion for a reason, because people with money (not retarded shitposters on /pw/) are putting their money where their mouth is-You say some fag shit about bootlicking corporationsWhy must this same exchange be repeated every single time? Why can't you just not be a miserable faggot instead? Why are you incapable of just being a normal fucking person?
>>19965911>heckin trolling will make all the bad news go awayI hope you're enjoying yourself, squaredcircle is melting down and so is twitter
>>19965922>I point out how they're making more revenue than everYou're supposed to adjust for inflation you fat neckbeard retard. Maybe stay out of finance and stick with "rasslin"
>>19965928>squaredcircle is melting down and so is twitterNo they're not
>>19965919edrones unironically think this kek
>>19965933https://investor.tkogrp.com/news/news-details/2026/TKO-Reports-Fourth-Quarter-and-Full-Year-2025-Results/default.aspxhttps://www.mmanews.com/article/ufc-revenue-1-5-billion-2025-tko-earningsRecord high revenue, inflation was only 2.7% last year. Suck my motherfucking dick.
>>19965950>This is all so the GOP/MAGA can have their pedo protecting hands on CNN and control the media.>Edit: This is fucking awful for the entertainment industry as a whole. Every show and movie is now just going to be part of the Yellowstone-verse. Can’t wait for season 3 of The Pitt where they refuse to aid someone cause they use they/them pronouns.yeah, they're not melting down at all, what was I thinking. you fucking idiot.
>>19965999You still don't get it. You're a retard bro
>>19966008>a singular comment>they're just mad about cnn
>the singular gayew tranny and the singular wwe piggie have been at each other throats all day over mergers and acquisitions they reap no financial benefit whatsoever fromdang thats crazy
>>19965164
>>19966035>paramount is dimeless and needs aew to drawi agree
Poop
>>19966079Oracle who owns Paramount and Silver Lake who owns TKO both own 15% of Tiktok now ironically
>>19965653Feel free to screenshot baby girl
>>19966277if i screenshotted every time you dorks said aew was fucked i'd need a few extra terabytes
>>19965164Netflix just made $2.8 Billion by letting Warner take Paramounts offer, which Paramount has to pay.
