And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
If AEW gave a dime for every worked neck injury resulting in a feud with an Adam I'd have two dimes. At the same time.

They kept going when Cody was the best thing on it, then when Brodie Lee was. I’m not sure why Ryan Nemeth broke them ,probably the weird walk.

God the match where Shibata just pasted Yuta for ten minutes straight was so drat good

Yeah made even better by me working myself by trying to be too smark about it and thinking "there's NO WAY they're handing the RoH Pure title to some guy who only occasionally pops in from Japan so Yuta's gonna somehow cheat to win and it'll be fun but still a bummer" and being blown away when Shibata won. And then it turned out that he wasn't just going to pop in occasionally, but was going to hang around being incredibly handsome and cool and doing fun poo poo like cutting a promo with Google Translate and having insane matches with Orange Cassidy and other indie darlings.

Likely not until next year per Dave

quote:

“AEW’s deals with WBD expire on December 31, 2024, which does confirm a new deal reached with the company that added Collision and gave WBD exclusivity which kicked off just before Collision debuted and when the streaming Dark and Dark Elevation shows were dropped, and that new deal ends at the end of 2024.”

I feel like the doom posting has been on the rise lately. Lots of talk about AEW dying. Are they in the red or something? Or is it just because it's not as popular anymore both here and with attendance?

In terms of the opinion here the product in places is cool and for some the MJF run just isn't doing it so you've got people getting turned off the product and the more sports entertainment angles.

In terms of actual business? In terms of attendance they've had some weak gates for TV but have had some decent attendance and seem to be ramping up local promotion to do good walk ups. PPV is still doing okay though some of the numbers are getting a bit soft which maybe due to the increase in PPV's. And in ratings Dynamite is still doing okay especially with the decline in ratings but Collision...well it's hard to tell given the night what WBD actually wants

The Company isn't hot but it's not really cold business wise and in the end the future of the company is gonna it's next TV deal and who knows how that shakes out given TV and the state of WBD

People think it's funny when someone gets mad about constantly poo poo talking AEW. It's annoying when it's just "lol aew dead what do you think about that" every day from the same people multiple times a day then you get poo poo for caring so I just ignore it all at this point.

I want the final episode of Dynamite to feature Hangman vs Kenny Omega and Eddie Kingston should win the world championship. And I want Shane McMahon to buy AEW.

The reporting is that AEW and WBD are largely on the same page when it comes to the value of AEW's TV shows, the sticking point in the negotiations is that Tony values the AEW library higher than WBD does. I suspect Tony will fold on that point which will leave AEW without hitting the $1B total deal which includes everything they offer, but they won't miss that target by much.
