they just signed a deal to bring ONE fighting championships to TNT. them bringing combat sports onto their network is a sign they'd be willing to give wrestling another try in this new television landscape where networks are looking for "dvr proof" content.

Everything on TNT is going to be taped clip shows and the live shows are all on the streaming Service last I saw

Ted wasn't going to put up with losing 65 MM per year, so no.

And the deals they are working on aren't for the Turner streaming service based on the talk and putting what Dave is willing to say together. (He pretty much dismissed the idea of them being on one a couple of weeks ago and reported they are in talks with at least two stations today.)

i found that post to be a joke about rovert not being interested because there was no womens division, rather than something to become upset by because of a lack of information. However i've known rovert to post a large amount of tweets about mens wrestling in the past, so there is a chance that I am actually the one who is misunderstanding the post.

He's posted elsewhere on the subforum and tweeted about it a lot. If you're wondering why he didn't make a thread about a promotion that wasn't officially announced, why didn't you or I or anyone else who's known about AEW pretty obviously being a thing since (at the latest) the trademark filings being made public?

one of the things that reflects poorly upon Brandi is her strong disdain for people with cosmetic surgery, thinking of them as beneath her as a human being.

I wonder whether Cody will continue to wrestle in spite of being in a top position in the company. I wonder if the Bucks, given their style will wrestling as well or whether they are content to take on roles that are behind the scenes.

I think the Bucks need to wrestle, at least at the start. Cody doesn't need to but probably will.

Yeah Cody can just be a GM or whatever if he doesn't wanna wrestle, but the Bucks are probably gonna have to be the in-ring centerpiece of the product, since I doubt Omega's gonna show up more than every so often.

Matt is definitely going to transition to an authority figure, it seems like ever match his drat nagging back injury comes back up and totally fucks up the flow of the match, poor guy is gonna have to retire

quote:

– Sean Radican over at Pro Wrestling Torch had some exclusive details regarding talent contracts for All Elite. According to Radican, AEW has signed several independent wrestlers to “holding deals” that will convert to full deals once the promotion secures a TV deal. The contracts are said to be quite lucrative, with the floor being “a good six figure deal.”

Didn't know this was public but yup. Mostly the All In roster and few other well-known indie names. The holding deals are monthly.

So they've got Jericho, Cody, The Bucks, Morrison and Jim Ross so far? That's a good start. Hopefully they can fill the roster out with good talent and not just TNA rejects.

JR is a net negative if he's the main announcer, though he might attract some extra eyeballs at first.

I don't think AEW has Morrison? He's still with Impact.

They don't have Morrison

They have Hangman Page and they have SCU (Daniels, Kaz and Scorpio)

There are several IMPACT contracts in March that's all I know. There are two names I've heard that are AEW bound. No idea about Johnny either way though.
