>>20651243how does this make any sense to you?The FOX channel still exists despite disney's ownershiphow does paramount merging with WBD affect AEW's TV situation in any meaningful way???
still running this gimmick in 2026 is just sad OP
New cope dropping today>States can still block it >TK is thrilled with Paramount>TK is bff with Ellison (and that's okay even tho Ellison is a MAGA chud since it's AEW) >Paramount will make its own decision later on (no shit sherlock) >AEW is cheaper than Zuffa boxing >Tubi is owned by FOX and on and on it goes.
they are scared lol
>>20651243The wheels are in motion
>>20651243The biggest question is:What happens to Mortal Kombat? Business as usual?
the real question now is, does Paramount let AEW run through its 2027 term or does it just kick it off TV and Pay Tony to go away?
>>20651243On Renewal Day 2, the sound of sighs of relief from elderly women up and down the country will be as loud as the shotgun sounds from the basements where their middle-aged, obese, virgin man-child e-tard sons will do the inevitable.
>>20651277I survived Renewal Day 1, I don't think Renewal Day 2 will be any different. Either way I won't watch AEW, just like everyone else.
AEW fans be like, we can't WAIT to support Donald Trump's state-approved media! Yay Paramount! Please air AEW on CBS!
>>20651250So here's the part you still don't want to accept. AEW's tv deal is fraudulent. Tony Khan is buddies with David Zaslav who he talked into along with WBD into investing in and becoming partial owner of AEW. Regardless of however small of a share that is. This is all fact that we know of from previously disclosed matters. With this sale going through WBD will be under new ownership. Ownership that isn't going to give a fuck about any of AEW's previously established relationships. Ownership that's going to be looking to make mergers and trim fat to cut as many costs as possible to make paying $111 billion profitable for them. I know I may have just lost you with the word profitable, but try and stick with me because that's extremely relevant here. AEW has never made a dime. It's been run at a consistent loss for 7 years now. Part of that loss is WBD airing a program it owns on its networks where it's hardly scraping 500k viewers consistently. On paper and under any other management it's a complete failure that is hemorrhaging money in every direction. AEW is essentially jumping up and down and waving it's arms in a see of WBD properties while Paramount is aiming its gun around ready to shoot. Could AEW survive this? Possibly. Is this in any way a positive thing for AEW? Fuck no it isn't
Big news today is Meltzer admitting that a "worst-case scenario" actually exists which is a big step forward for him, to introduce that possibility into the AEW fans' Overton window
>>20651250It doesn't directly but with any merger like this there will be massive cuts and restructuring. Entirely possible it affects 2027 but anyone thinking Paramount is already laser focused on renew decisions for AEW when the merger was just approved today is being a shill. Lil Nicky is a retard like usual.
we saw what happened with wcw after their merger, and wcw was bigger and ted turner's baby
>>20651314>Tony Khan is buddies with David ZaslavThis is why Zas gave TK a heads-up early on when he got word Paramount wouldn't want to be in the AEW business. To give TK time to find an alternative. Of course they denied any "pre-sale" information but the conversation was had. > AEW has never made a dime. It's been run at a consistent loss for 7 years now.The combined library of WBD and Paramount gives the latter plenty of movies and shows to put into those AEW timeslots. It might even draw comparable ratings, at a fraction of the cost, kind of a no-brainer
>>20651333>The combined library of WBD and Paramount gives the latter plenty of movies and shows to put into those AEW timeslots. It might even draw comparable ratings, at a fraction of the cost, kind of a no-brainerIs Wednesday night in particular an opportunity to broadcast some IP as a popularity litmus test, i.e. let's see what draws so we know what to sell off
>>20651315Good. I hope they're all sweating it. Losing sleep. Me? I'm confident they'll be off of television by Jan. 1, 2027.
>>20651257>TK is thrilled with Paramounthe's such a corporate slut lol
>>20651333>The combined library of WBD and Paramount gives the latter plenty of movies and shows to put into those AEW timeslots.But it's not like that would ever happen. Or has ever happened before. Even under WBD
>>20651347>I'm confident they'll be off of television by Jan. 1, 2027.definitely a possibility. Paramount can certainly do that if they want. I would laugh and laugh and laugh. And remember AEW fans, it's not the product I dislike. It's you. The fans. You did this. You made everyone see AEW as a laughingstock.
>>206513468 and 9pm on any weeknight is like THE time slot. That's the traditional primetime hours. 8pm especially since you can do lots of family programming during that hour as well
You've been saying this ever week since Dynamite started
>>20651375Who said that? Got proof? Listen bro, this thread is for discussing prowrestling. If you wanna jerk off I suggest you use a sock. Good-night!
Two more weeks! cope piggie. There's no reason for you to hate the best wrestling on TV. If you say you're a fan of the sport.
>>20651523>There's no reason for you to hate the best wrestling on TVThe fans. The fans. The fans. The fans.
>>20651314the sad thing is i'm sure you've worked yourself into shoot believing this
>>20651243>kill aew>stop ruining star trekthat's all I want
Don't worry guys, they've got Shockwave on FOX coming soon.
>>20651250>How does Paramount kicking AEW off TV effect AEW's TV situation in any meaningful way?You're retarded I'm afraid>>20651275>does Paramount let AEW run through its 2027 termNope.>>20651277>On Renewal Day 2Not happening. WBD regrets Renewal Day 1. That's why they notified Tony last year that they aren't picking up the option. >>20651375>>20651523The writing's been on the wall since 2023 and you've spent the last 3 years living in denial about it.
>>20651925You know both are heading in the right direction when the weirdos on the left sperg out over the merger. lot of parallels between how star trek's terrible leftist fanbase and AEW
>Year 7 of "AEW IS GETTING CANCELLED FOR REALLY REAL THIS TIME U GUISE I SWEAR IT'S REAL THIS TIME HONEST"ur life is so sad
>>20651243Thank God it's finally ending
>>20652363Yall getting scared huh
>>20652329Good point. If lefties/aewtists are seething this hard then we know it was the right move.
>>20652371They see how scared Dave is so they know shit just got REALAlso lol @ aewfags coping that it's always just one lone anon death posting for 7 years
>>20652445Reminder
>>20652445He changed the bio to say Coming iut 2027 when it originally said Coming out in 2025, after they got renewed in October 2024.kek what a niggertard
>>20651908So your cope is "nuh uh"? Kek let's see how that goes for you
>>20652460Looks like a normal healthy weight Black dude. Not being a fatass already makes him better than 99% of AEW fans.
>>20652363AEW is getting cancelled because WBD literally told Tony they're cancelling it. This merger is just accelerating the cancellation.
>>20652467>He changed the bio to say Coming iut 2027 when it originally said Coming out in 2025, after they got renewed in October 2024.Actually it was 2027 all along and you're literally making that up.
>aew trannies now have to watch a company part-owned by the blood covered saudi dicks>and meltzer
>>20651314you are severely mentally ill
>>20652616And you can't even attempt to make an actual argument because you know I'm right
>>20651314In Nicky we trust
>>20653020No part of what I wrote there has anything to do with him though. You're just mad and need and outlet to lash out at because you don't have any actual argument to the truth
>>206512432 more fuckin weeks bros
>>20652445>7 years of doompostingthe state of some people
>>20652445>>20652460KEK what a nigcel
>>20653050>AEW is no longer owned by WBD>"Th-th-this is t-totally the same as it's always b-been"
>>20653050>>20653053Tony was literally given his notice that AEW is getting cancelled. It's already over. You're in severe denial.
>>20651314Fried that pig
>>20651243I have a feeling Tony is going to regret going after Hulk Hogan
>>20651243i hope youre right, anon. that shit needs to die asap.
>>20651375Nobody has been saying that. In fact, I gave Gayew a chance early on. Then I found out it was some Queer shit and never watched it again, except for clips of their numerous failures like the exploding ring or Tiny Con running around like a total autismo. You’re trying to act like nothing is happening and everything is fine, but if it was, then this merger you’re trying to ignore wouldn’t be happening. WBD was a pissant company and that’s the only reason the pissant excuse of a company called Gayew was allowed on TV at all. That can’t go on forever as we can all clearly see by the WBD situation. Changes WILL be happening. Total Pissant shit like Gayew won’t be allowed anymore.
>>20652552Yeah that’s the really funny part even on the miracle fat fucking chance Gayew stuck around by Tiny Con sucking everyones dicks good enough or something. Leftoid shits absolutely DESPISE the Ellisons. So Gayew will lose their Core audience and have 0 viewers because those absolute Queers are the last of their audience. LOL.
Message to EGODS: Anytime a Leftoid GAY EW troon says some faggot shit, remind them that they now support Donald Trump’s friend David Ellison by watching GAY EW. Kek.
>>20651243Even if one day AEW wasn't available on television anymore, I'm still not watching WWE, so I don't know how that would be a "win" for wrestling fans. It just leaves us with less options.I will never understand the retards that tout the death of WCW and ECW as this huge epic win, because it might've been good for Vince, but it was bad for fans of wresting.Anyone who wishes for the demise of any semi popular wrestling company they don't like is a complete moron.
>>20654235>I won’t be watching WWE!We do not care.
>>20654246Enjoy your coconut community theater going on for another 15 years.
>We Win!
>>20654321>enjoy WWE winning and burying Poop Dick Wrestling for goodI will, thank you. As I’ve said before, The many series on the Death of Gayew, will bring me and every EGOD so much joy that it hardly even matters what WWE does beyond that.
>>20654220True, true
>>20654235>I'm still not watching WWEDon't lie. You hatewatch every single minute of WWE programming every week.>It just leaves us with less options.You mean like when AEW killed the indies?
>>20651523it is not a sport
Based. aew is lame and gay. The lone aew fan's tears will be sweet and plentiful.
>>20651243slopdown was canceled
>>20654091>Tony is going to regret going after Hulk HoganHulkster isn't a vengeful angel. He's a forgiving angel, brother. He hopes Tony gets off drugs and finds love.
>>20651314this is a disgusting amount of schizo headcanon, please seek professional mental health counseling
>>20653010>you can't argue against my mentally ill fanfictionplease take a shower
>>20654205they won't leave, they'll come up with justifications about why it's bad for WWE to be associated with Saudis but it's okay for AEW to be part owned by them.>it's only 25% of the company>we need it to keep the tv deal>it's okay, tony is le wholesome billionaire's son>shad hasn't donated to trump in like 3 years!>donating to the republican party of florida is just the cost of doing business
>>20656139And yet you've offered not a single word of actual argument against it>>20656145>seethes at back to back postsI accept your very very upset and gotten to concession
Damn. The singular AEW fan got gaped ITT.
>>20656139>getting worked by redditors
>>20656745Many such cases.
dang this shit heap has been going for seven years now? goodness me
>>20656860When you think about it they haven't really had any memorable moments despite being on TV for so long. I think Edge debuting was the biggest thing.
>>20656860We're in the Endgame now. Those 7 years were just foreplay. There's only 1 AEW fan left on /pw/. And by the grace of Saint Terry he will begone once AEW is off /tv/.
>>20654948>>20656139Smackdown didn't get canceled. AEW did.
>>20656868>When you think about it they haven't really had any memorable moments despite being on TV for so longAEW's history is one long indistinguishable blur of literally whos, cold matches, heatless bangers, charisma vacuums, twinks doing circus flips, talent disappearing at random, shallow repetitive storylines, and endless fumbles. Tony's been booking it the exact same way for 7 years without changing a single fucking thing and that's made it extremely forgettable. Most of their memorable moments involve people who aren't there anymore like Cody and Punk and the rest are botches like the exploding ring. Say what you want about WWE but even at their worst they still know how to build up history. But Tony doesn't have a clue.
>>20656878Ding-dong diddly based, brother!
>>20651260Underrated banter
>>20657111>AEW's history is one long indistinguishable blur of literally whos, cold matches, heatless bangers, charisma vacuums, twinks doing circus flips, talent disappearing at random, shallow repetitive storylines, and endless fumbles.I see no lies. The endless fumbles are the most unforgivable part.
>>20657111>Say what you want about WWE but even at their worst they still know how to build up history.I hope you don't mean the new gen era, because even current wwe is worse than that. New gen sucked, yet blows all modern wrestling out of the water. Current wwe and aew are just as garbage as each other.
Weird thread but okay
>>20658586You seem upset
>>20658598Yeah, a bunch of weird threads keep popping up from console warring geeks
>>20658599How is this thread console warring?
>massive mergers in the modern business eraThese always work out!
>>206512432 more weeks
>>20658771Who's the Big Dog now?
>>20654192>>20654205>>20657111Same fag who is here every single day wanting people to debate him on AEW. What a tragic life.
>>20651243I'm legit done with wrestling, I'll continue posting here but won't watch any shows
>>20658797You spend every single day defending AEW like any slight against it is a personal insult and denying reality as it sinks like the Titanic.
>>20658933That stopped him in his tracks. He doesn't have a leg to stand on.
>>20651243F
>>20658626It's telling that the only one(s) crying about console wars are defeated depressed de-aewtists
>>20661225If they hate the Freedom that 4chan provides them (thanks Trump!) then they can go back to r/AEWtransE-God board, bitch!
>>20661466We welcome all here friend
>>20658840
Lil Nicky went over again?
>>20663197He always does
>>20651277Holy fucking projectola
>>20651261>What happens to Mortal Kombat?Who cares? Completely nestled within a trannytown Chicago dev. Hasn't had a good or even finished game since MKX. Gut the whole team and sell it off.
>>20651243YouTube here we come!
>>20663846I watched MKII, it was what AEW wishes it was: FUNBe warned they snuck in some female piss break matches
If aew ends up on YouTube, that would make them a fifth tier promotion? Or sixth?
>>20666516Sixth
>>20652460They shoot had this e-groid on?
>>20666911Well that's extremely grim.
>>20652460Of course he would look like a crackhead just like Jobbernation.
>>20664207AEW is dead and nobody gives AFTony really fumbled this one
>>20667287AEW is dead and yes Tony does always fumble
>>20651243You've been saying this for 7 years.
>>20668208You've been saying WWE will die for 30 years. Btw where can I watch new episodes of Rampage? What about new episodes of that AEW Tiktok show that debut 3 weeks ago?
>>20668208Except AEW is no longer owned by WBD anymore. That's the part your cope is failing to acknowledge. This time it actually is different
>>20668217Fry that fat pig
>>20668212>Rampage was cancelledReally?
>>20651243Nick warned everybody, but trannies were seething too hard to listen. Enjoy YouTube haha!
>>20670984Afraid so my friend
>>20671392Tony still hasn't made the formal announcement - imagine if AEW kicked to YT causes mass talent firings, 100+ people out of a job thanks 4 the heads up Boss
>>20671392He's so based
>>20651243Where will AEW end up? Kick?
>>20668208>You've been saying this for 7 years.AEW got mortally wounded in 2023 and you've been saying it's fine for 3 years.
It's time for AEW to get kicked off TV. Only families can afford cable and AEW isn't family friendly, it's poop dick trash.
how did wcw do after their merger?
can't wait for TKO to buy AEW and actually make it good like they did AAA
>>20672653AEW isn't worth anything
>>20651243AEW News: Will Mick Foley have one final match?WWE News: Oh my goodness gracious, did you see Jade's wig come off?
>>20673971>Saves this gay picture on his computer>I swear I'm not a faggot
>>20673906It has plenty of paid reviews of matches, which unravel into comical flipping and jumping when appraised unbiasedly.
>>20673984He's a confirmed faggot.
>>20674749Wow. Please tell me this is just AI
>>20673971>Will Mick Foley have one final match?No, he'd literally die. Also AEW's are ratings are down since he signed.>Oh my goodness gracious, did you see Jade's wig come off?kek yeah it was funny
>>20673971AEW news: Did they draw half a milly?WWE news: How many millys?
Sorry aew broke your brain
>>20677561>Please stop laughing at gAyEWRampage status?
>>20651250>how does Time Warner merging with AOL affect WCW's TV situation in any meaningful way???I asked in the year 2000.
>>20677561Sorry AEW dying broke your brain
>>20677980Cook em.
My sources are telling me that Tony Kwab has already had meetings with David Ellison and Tony is willing to pay Ellison/Paramount even more than what Tony is paying Zaslav to stay on the air.
>>20651243Two more weeks, guys
>>20679443Is that when Slopwave makes it's debut on Fox?
>>20677577Ted tapped when he didn’t have to at all.
>>20679449He had nothing for this kek
>>20679443WBD literally told Tony that they aren't renewing AEW. I don't think your "two more weeks" stage of denial can work much longer.
>>20680253Slice it
>>20679409The Khans are friends with the Ellisons. Which will make it extra funny when Bonehead Tony goes str8 to YT kek
>>20681372If he goes to YouTube I hope he's prepared to job out to JCW
>>20681383I'll start watching JCW just to get the numbers up
>>20651243Judgement day
Now i know why he (the singular AEW cripple) is shitting his pants
>>20651260Kek
>>20679449Shockwave was actually aborted. TYBL
>>20682368Why?
>>20683484Just a daily occourance for him
>>20651243Who doubted Nick? Show yourselves
>>20685151He's gloating so much kek
is there any actual reason why paramount, being teamed up with wwe's parent company tko, would want anything to do with a "competitor" promotion that has been nothing but a money sink?
>>20686425What are you trying to say?
