      I had someone argue with me that AEW was down because of Wrestlemania. I was like “Why? dynamite is on a different night.” They’re “reasoning”: “Oh well, people are not interested in watching that much wrestling.”

      I don't get the correlation. She's already worked multiple WMs, and was booked to lose every single year. She's obviously moved on. Btw, AAA, TNA, NJPW, Stardom, NWA, NOAH, CMLL and AEW itself all draw their biggest houses outside WM weekend.

      I’ll give Disco his respect as a wrestler and a guy that knows his shit, but he talks like he was a Main Event performer, and he was not. He was a job guy that got beat, doing his dance, thrown around, etc. He was liked in the back and eventually brought into the main WCW klique, but prior he didn’t mean much and was never truly over as a performer. That’s the truth. Good guy, knows his shit, but come on bro. Stop acting like you had pull as a performer.

      The ONLY way WBD should even give them 1 Penny more in rights fees, is that WBD owns a significant percentage of AEW itself, as well as has control over TV and creative influence.
      They need to actually do what's reality.
      They need to remove Tony MarKhan from control of the entirety of this product, they are paying for to have on their platform.
      This shows why WBD is losing money, they are in discussion about paying more for a product, a TV product, that is a unendingly dysfunctional system, with a leader who may be the worst person in the history of Wrestling and TV production in the history of both mediums.

    Releasing AEW wrestlers which Tony said he'll never do, getting shot by CM Punk in an interview and labeled as "not a real boss" and a detriment to AEW. Then he got owned by Eric Bischoff for crying out loud and then found out that Dynamite had one of the worst ratings in the last few years.
