The "let's not take this shyt so seriously" AEW news & fukkery thread

[Norrin Radd]

Ibushi took to Instagram to announce that he has re-signed with AEW for another two years.

"This was amazing!! ️The crossroads of life," Ibushi wrote, alongside a video of him riding on Tony Khan's private jet. "I was never born to ride a private jet! And I signed a 2 year re-signment. I still want to live, but I have to live. I can't imagine being in pro wrestling until I'm 45. What more do you want? I don't know. I have a dream to live and live this kind of pro wrestling! Back in the day, when I was little. Just not just good 99% hell you won't get there. How tough that 99% hell is was far above imagination. From training and daily living. Just don't look down. Up the top. Still not enough not like this!! ️ from now on."

I looked last night and the contract runs until 2033 but was thinking what if Netflix decides to cancel Raw and go for Monday Night Football after seeing the ratings numbers.

As funny as this is, I just have a hard time believing anything streamers say or report. Most streamers don't report much of anything. It's all about them trying to screw over Hollywood and their partners.

So this Netflix number could be accurate or it could be higher or even lower. What I do know is that Netflix isn't reporting about RAW with the same enthusiasm as they were in January.

That account especially, might as well get AEW numbers from Piffylad.

IDGAF about numbers good or bad for either side tbh. If the shows are entertaining me and they're still going to be on next week I'm good.

WWE are still the powerhouse, they've just got some weird shyt going on right now and it's giving people all kinds of reasons to look away or elsewhere... and if they really play this counterprogrammimg shyt badly they could get embarrassed amongst the number-marks for a little while, but who gives a shyt really?

Raw will find its feet again when WWE find themselves again by the sounds of it, hopefully it doesn't take them 86 weeks...

With the NFL now owning 10% of ESPN and ESPN having control over Redzone and the NFL Network, there's a zero percent chance MNF football is leaving ESPN/ABC.

The mindset being shown by TKO/WWE and even somehow TNA on TV rights for another company is pathetic Wall Street bro bullshyt. Like imagine the NFL intentionally trying to make sure the NBA doesn't get a good TV rights deal They're not competitors. There is room for everyone and everyone benefits. It's also good for TNA to get bigger again. Even like shytty fast food chains aren't trying to put the other ones out of business.

Thinking about counterprogramming and Tuesdays at 8pm on Roku they have NWA Powerr. Maybe TK should send over some of his stars to help them counterprogram NXT.

 

[TheAlbionist]

The only thing about TNA that worries or bums me out even a bit is that Leon Slater should be under the Ospreay and Swerve learning trees right now.

If they waste that man's career on some bullshyt I'll be pissed.

The interesting thing about that is the Jaguars will be getting revenue from every sub, if you sign up for WWE PLEs you're putting money in Khan's pockets

The closest one to me is like 3.5 hours away. Been there a few times and was ok. Long ass line but been a few years so not sure if hype died down but in a major tourist area so likely not. But good for the company to get these type of deals and more marketing out there.

TK gonna start promoting PLEs on Dynamite and Collision to help boost his income.

It mostly sucks, but is one of the few places that still stay open 24 hours after COVID and so it can be pretty good for drunk eating.

Is this their way of saying Eddie Kingston is coming back soon?

Now it comes to me

WWE runs their company not as a wrestling company, but an SEO company. That's the only way all this "counter programming" shyt makes any sense for this type of industry.
