Bix could probably elaborate more (maybe) but I've always heard that New has wanted to get Tony under oath on a disposition for the longest of times.

Guessing lawsuits are going to be filed between Punk/Ace and Tony sooner than later.

tony needs to tear up the contract he signed mjf to and tell him to take his rear end to wwe

Honestly the plausible worst case scenario is that AEW loses their TV deal with WBD, doesn't get another one, and for the sake of remaining viable has to switch to a mode like it was in before Dynamite started where they do a big tentpole show every few months. A lot of people would lose their jobs because you simply need less people at the office and less people under contract to keep that going, but the silver lining is that it will be an opportunity to retool and rethink.

In that scenario I would figure that AEW would merge with ROH under the ROH name and go streaming-only, which would require a signficant shedding of personnel.

Those saying they'd get another TV are probably right, the issue is would it be financially enough to maintain their current levels of spending, or would it require either cutting expenses (meaning personnel again) or operating at a loss. It's one thing to be in the red while getting the show on the road, but at this point if the product can't pay for itself, it may not be worth it.

aew needs to find a nice 150-200 seat place and tape tv there once a month

occasionally they can branch out, like when the flea market is open

maybe the girls jv volleyball team needs to raise funds to go to regionals, they can partner with aew and do a show

What is the correct number of wrestlers per minute of television?

The rule of thumb I had always heard was an average of 3 per segment/15 minutes. So 24 per 2 hour show, or 60 for the 5 hours of TV that AEW has weekly. AEW could get away with more as they have a heavier focus on tag teams/stable and don't have anyone who can justify multiple segments of attention on a regular basis, like Austin back in the day.

Counting people on the IR I'd say AEW's ideal roster size should be about 75-80 people. Big enough that people won't get overexposed and can be cycled off TV as necessary, but not so big that people are signed and forgotten about. I would also say that people on prospective/developmental deals wouldn't count against that number.

If AEW really does have 160 people under contract, they genuinely need to cut about half the roster.
