you say that like reality has any hold here

they said and continue to say the exact same stuff regardless of the original deal extension pre-pandemic, the positive responses from Warner, etc

People think that if it's unsuccessful for long enough (because, you know, it's very very unsuccessful right now), that Shaid Khan will stop letting his son play with his toys and shut it down.

I can see why they think this given he's shut down both Fulham and the Jags already, so AEW is definitely next.

I know finding bad takes from Reddit is kinda cheating, but today I've learned TK spent between 20 and 80(!) million on Fight Forever, and that AEW is assuredly burning cash to create tax losses for some reason?

Yeah, people just make up how much money Khan spends on stuff. People just assumed RoH cost him 40 million forever and then Sinclair reports came out and it looks like it was closer to like, 5.

The best is people that refer to "math" that they've done to determine how AEW must be losing money hand over fist. I'd ask them share their calculations, but I mean c'mon we know what's up.

Their math is probably that meme "AEW Payroll" that got floated around that included them paying Dusty Rhodes' corpse millions of dollars for some reason

making video games can be very expensive, but given that the N64 and on games were huge for getting young people into wrestling this is a pretty understandable gamble to make.

AEW may have come From Out of Nowhere, but now it's just Falling to Pieces. Now that Everything's Ruined, AEW is just going to keep getting Smaller and Smaller as BBT goes through his Midlife Crisis. He'll be drinking from his Last Cup of Sorrow soon enough. Woodpeckers From Mars.
