The CM Punk fumble was the biggest fumble in years, not since the defections from WCW to WWF in the MNW era. To lose your top wrestler for people who don't draw. You think Vince Mcmahon let anyone step into Austin, Jarrett compained about Austin not wanting to work with him and Cornette backed Austin. Why? Because Austin was the top draw. It want a reign of terror, Which Jarret had in TNA. Did you see Austin and the Rock doing crazy moves in the ring. Look at old school wrestling with Andre the Giant.

I really wish people like Conrad Thompson would stop trying to push the whole "AEW are going to get a 9 figure TV rights deal". They're not. AEW is a considerably smaller company today on all levels from when they signed their last TV contract. So why would AEW get a bigger contract when their audience is so much smaller?

To me i think tony has proven himself to his capacity now its time to step back a little get seasoned bookers and writers that know the business that can give better structured programming and storylines because they have serious talent now. Have them for a few years and get his people understudy them and learn from then then he can take back control somewhere down the line if he wants to.

It matters when Shad Khan says OK enough is enough.

The only difference in AEW- they're copying WWE'S looks and production methods but Tony The Snowman Khan is still booking lousy matches and pushing worthless talent such as Hangnail Adam Page, RIIIIHOOOO, Pockets and the Puddin' Gang, The Buckaroos and now Mercedes Mone. As Jim Cornette might say- Mercedes ain't gonna draw 15¢ in Chinese money. Who does Mercedes think she is?? Comes out and that stupid chant of CEO CEO CEO! Okada's not going to draw much either as long as he hangs around with the Buckaroos. No wonder the ratings stay in the 700,000 to 850,000 range.

So Tony's been a bad booker since he was 12. 😅

Also the PPVs and the library of both AEW and ROH might go to MAX, which would be great for them. Those deals might make Tony Khan break even and that's enough for him. If at any point WBD wasn't happy with AEW he'd look for some other network, whichever it might be. AEW will be around for as long as he wants, even if the numbers get worse, to the point that Dynamite could be havng the numbers Collision is having now and Collision and Rampage could have the kind of numbers Impact is making now and he wouldn't care. He could have those numbers and he'd still talk about surpassing WWE even if WWE grew. He believes in himself and his product and he loves what he's doing. He's never gonna give it up.

One thing people like to forget about AEW's October 2019 television debut like with Punk's "surprise" debut. Is how hard Anti-WWE fans, bandwagon NJPW fans, Indy fans, FGC, talent, and content creators shilled AEW as this new Car smell phenomenon. While waving the WWE alternative flag around in WWE's own tweets & video comments section too. You could easily tell Tony was pumping a ton of money behind the curtain to get AEW's debut noticed. I even found out he was talking to WWE talent in 2018(Dean) while under contract. This is why Jericho went on to scout talent for Tony in his NJPW run using the Vince WrestleMania Owens match comments as an excuse. I'm also someone who's played Genshin Impact since its September 2020 launch. miHoYo who at the time was just a Miku, RWBY, and anime inspired small time Gacha company working on Honkai Impact 3rd. Splashed their hands in creating something they had little to no experience with. A cel shaded open world RPG Gacha. Something never done and still looks impressive on a fucken phone. Constantly meet with entitled toxic Nintendo Breath of the Wild fanboys shitting on it acting like it was gonna flop a month in. 1 thing people forget also is how miHoYo 1st took this concept to Microsoft, and they flat out turned them down because of the same shit BoTW fans regurgitated. Sony took a chance on them when everyone kind of kicked them down, and this is also why miHoYo has never looked back on Nintendo's Switch release. While giving Sony the Sword & Wings of Descension(Travelor's original weapon & wings), Aloy insert, a pretty reasonable bundle every patch for PS plus members, and the shitty PS5 skin roulette bundle. I've kept an eye on both AEW & Genshin Impact's development, marketing, draw power, and overall impact on the world these past 4 years. Out of the 2 products 1 went on to: Create recognizable stars every 2 months with solid writing/video production. Become a household brand. Make record breaking revenue in the Billions! range every year. Leave physical monuments across the globe. Popularize Gachas to the point big gaming companies like Capcom & Square-Enix bandwagoned the craze. Got way too many sponsorships/w tons of phone collabs for their top drawing stars. Have casuals wearing their merch to flex or shit public skits popularizing KZread Shorts. Re-shape the cosplay/Art,/MMD/meme/AI community. Give Chinese scale(figure) manufacturers like APEX & Myethos the Undertaker caliber rub to where they're now Gacha go tos. Essentially made nobody content creators making pull videos into entitled somebodies milking toxicity. Made the Video Game Awards clown Geoff Keighley change his attitude in how they view HoYo games. Got an Anime in the works by 1 of the most prestigious studios out there Ufotable who are known for the insane Fate animation. Got tons of physical unofficial fan made content to the point convention booths admit their only items selling is their IP. Flooding ebay/Amazon/Buyee/AliExpress listings with an insane amount of entries of people selling their special collab, official/unofficial merch, and bootlegs. Constantly trending top 10 monthly to weekly about anything such as patch announcements, character birthdays, fanarts/cosplays, drama, ships, meta takes, pulls, and even leaks that aren't always true. Bank employers having to be briefed over the monthly influx of spending halts to credit cards, cus they're just pumping too much at once. Feeding great soo many FansOnly, Twitter, PornHub, Twitch, KZread, and Vtuber thots who sap the influx of beta cucks intoxicated by this insane Waifu craze currently spear fronted by them 3 years strong. Having to compete with its own IPs because they've gained this much momentum within the initial run. Creating 2 more IPs with sufficient funds and buzz to expand the juggernaut brand. Concerts that legit feel more passion driven than a Pro. Wrestling show going All In. I could still go on, but I legit bored myself now. Even if you hate or eye roll them over their insane success. There's no way you haven't heard or seen Genshin's content in some way or shape at places you frequent. While improving over the course of its lifespan. Sure! Fuck time gates, artifact system, pull 50/50 RNG, and lack of post endgame content. But you can't say the big events/expansions/units/promotional videos aren't fun or ambitious. Plus if you actually do more than dailies, events, and Abyss! You can get enough Primos to pull a 5 star unit every patch. Off chests, open world quests, redemption codes, and Stardust exchange. With great longevity value 4 star units! Trust me I know this, cus I've actually done it! You don't need to catch them all like it's Pokemon. Learn to save up FFS for units you genuinely want! While I was rambling about Genshin's accomplishments I've witnessed over the years(even taken part of). I legit forgot I was talking about AEW here! Well what can I say about it other than they've legit kind of just been there! Even losing their hardcore audience bit by bit to WWE or other popular FOMO hobbies. Like FGC, physical Game Collecting, TCG collecting, Vtubers, FansOnly thots/illustrators, Anime, and Gachas. Wrestling is just a dying breed outside of WWE. You'd be surprised how many Wrestling Fans today are Genshin fans/bandwagoners. All I've seen these past few months when I glance back on Pro Wrestlingtube content. It's floods of shameless click baits! All these content creators REALLY just milking Vince allegations like it's One Piece theories. Flexing their hollow morals purely for profit. It just turns people away honestly, and casuals only care about the current Rock heel run protecting Roman's reign.

He also knows unlike him Tony Khan can keep AEW going until he is bored of it - Eric's jealous and it is jealousy because no matter what he says about AEW - Tony can ignore it and still keep his company running. Jim Cornette is the old school guy who loves wrestling and gets pissed because Tony is not running his company like the old school model that wrestling used to be. Again no matter what he says about it - Tony's company will still keep going - I don't mind Eric's & Jim's critiques but they should know that it won't matter in the end because Tony is that wealthy and he is living his dream.

I get what they are arguing over but by that logic no tv show whatsoever in the history could ever achieve any ratings. Did WCW start with higher ratings than what they had during the monday night wars? Was WWF doing better in 1995 than 1999?

Question: Is is Tony's money or his father's money?

When AEW or TNA, or any other promotion, gets an influx of viewers, they are not casual viewers - they are wrestling fans watching the alternate wrestling show. Specifically WWE fans. Casual audience is what sparks true growth, and casuals don't watch for the wrestling. They tune in for a character and stay for the story. WWE has always been character-focused, so they've had steady growth as a company consistently (even if show ratings and attendance would go up and down). AEW is more wrestling focused, so they won't attract casuals. The best they can do right now is convince WWE fans to also start watching AEW. Since AEW's business is tied to wrestling fan migration, it will only see growth in proportion to what WWE does to grow the overall audience. The only way for them to break out of that model is to create their own weekly attractions. Only wrestling fans will follow Adam Copeland to a different show. AEW has to create something that is completely unique and exclusive to their brands. People didn't flock to the TV because Austin was a great worker or because of Hogan & Savage's star power. They came because Austin was creating weekly chaos, drinking beer and cussing and because the nWo was seemingly working off-script and Sting was in the rafters. It was cool and new, regardless of work rate or star ratings.

Disco can read words but he can't understand words.

If AEWs ratings keep going down they'll be off of TV which is bad for the business itself. Tony NEEDS to hire a booking committee. The people who work for him need to listen to the agents too. When you hear that they have people like Lance Storn, Jerry Lynn and Dean Malenko backstage, you wonder why most of the matches are dogshit. Either the wrestlers don't know and don't want to learn how to work a more realistic style, instead it's a bastardized version of Lucha, Strong Style Puro, or a hybrid of both styles. Very few can work that style and make it look good, like an actual struggle. Some people phone it in like Mox and Kingston, some have no business being there like Riho and Pockets

Lance Storm works for TNA, by the way.

Gotta agree with Konnan on this one D.I. I get what you're saying that star power does have a major influence, especially on a season premiere, but it is the curiosity factor that brings in viewership

Khan will never have to stop, but rich people don’t like taking L’s more than anybody else.

Punk vs MJF was season one of true detective. Following seasons have been everything since

I'll never understand how Punk vs. Omega didn't headline All In

Disco Inferno in Conan should be grateful to have something to talk about

Tony Khan will never let it go, but his dad might shut it all down....

The "AEW faithful" fanbase drives off other wrestling fans that are literally trying to like the product. Which is a complete 180 from the unorganized group of fans that pushed guys like Cody to create the competition to WWE in the first place.

It 100% does matter. Billions or not, if the product sucks and doesn’t draw ratings then no one is going to put that garbage on tv.

I think its great that Tony Khan is a promoter. Wrestlers are getting paid. Eventually people like Lynch and Rollins will eventually switch over

Disco talking over his co hosts , as usual. Let them get a word in for Christ’s sake

Sheldon Cooper is AEW biggest draw

I Don’t Understand WHY a lot of People want a Wrestling Company to go under. We should ALL wish he does better business to make a better product. NO Attitude Era without WCW NWO

Aew is not a wrestling company. It's a gymnastics and stunt competition. Real pro wrestling has in depth storytelling, with charismatic characters. It's not who can get their shit in. It's not lame ass inside jokes. It's not random matches with people nobody ever even saw, before they entered the ring. But, you enjoy your 🤡 show. The rest of us, who aren't part of the 750,000 unbathed virginal types, will enjoy making fun of it. Ha.

@@user-on9ie2lm1y it’s a 5 year old company Wwe/f has had over 50 years to get to where they are give some patience all he has to do is steal a wrestler in their prime. Imagine if Wwe gets 20 more sexual trafficking lawsuits (Not hard to imagine) you think Rollins and Reigns are going to stay on a sinking ship if Kahn offers them 8million a year to wrestle less then Reigns does now? It would be like Hall and Nash all over again.

Sound advice??? Speaking of sound advice I would love join your Patreon channel but unfortunately im not going to pay to hear disco interrupt and talk over everyone without getting his chin checked fir not respecting the other hosts. Damn glenny boy....😂😂😂

TK must not wanna leave any money for his future kids and grandkids he gon use every billion 😂

Disco being absolutely wrong and his ego not allowing him to admit it will never not be funny 😂

Also have to factor in that Warner owns about 30% of AEW, they are partners

Comprehension…

He's gonna get butt hurt sooner than later, Carneys don't make good friends , and He's too much of a money mark. It's like opposite sides of magnets, It will never stick...

He doesn't need to worry about losing money until his dad cuts off the bankroll.

no mike durband ad??

Disco being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian, just really bizarre how he thinks he knows better than someone working in TV here.

The first season of True Detective was great, every other season after has been worse than AEW Rampage.

Tony Khan has done more the help the wrestling business than you ever have

That tv stat is not true . The season finale is usually just as high or higher . Here is a example game of thrones season 8 ep 1 11.7 mil the season finale or series finale 13.61 million . Heres breaking bad . First ep of last season 5.92 mil season finale 10.28 mil .

He has his Billionaire Daddy Khan money, Tony has done anything on his own.

When his father takes away his action figures.

Rhea Ripley is a bigger star than half of the main roster in Aew. Also what happen to the star's in Aew. How can fan's enjoy the show when the ppl don't recognize anyone on the show. The only ppl I know are Adam Copeland, Christian and Jericho. That's not enough.

Tony doesn't respect the business. Case and point: Orange Cassidy on TV. I have watched wrestling from all over the world since 1989 and I have never seen something as embarassing and disrespectful to the business as an Orange Cassidy match. Tony sees the comments from fans but he doesn't care, he doubles down on the nerd who can't work at all, doing his hands in his pockets piss take / parody of pro wrestling. It's actually very insulting to witness so I just fast forward him every time.

its a win/win for TK if it works out than great however if he lost a lot of money from it then he can use it as a tax write off

Dad ' s Money

At first aew before they even aired on tv had me excited, they actually turned me back on to wrestling, before Cody did the toilet smash with a sledgehammer I was getting real bored of wwe, but Cody and them tunt me back on, and then they had a long as wait, like a year till their debut, and that was a year of wrestling fans "aew fans" on social media already claiming victory and wwe is doomed wwe is gonna go out of biz bla bla bla. ...and that turnt me off, so till this day I still haven't seen aew on TV when it airs, I will catch a clip of aew or ex wwe wrestlers doing a promo on wwe or a wwe wrestlers debut on KZread and that's it. But literally for me the aew fans turnt me off, they waited to long to debut on TV. It was like a long year or more of aew fans on social media already claiming wwe is dead once aew debuts on tv, SMH Look where we are now tho, lol I saw a clip on KZread now aew trying to look like wwe with the graphics of the barricades and ring, i thought they suppose to be different from wwe not the exact same, plus it's just to to much wrestling for one week, Monday Tuesday Friday, and then add in Wednesday and Saturday for aew? Nah...I'm straight f that. Way to much wrestling.

I want AEW to stay in business and do well. It’s great for wrestlers to have an option.
