Saraya and Britt: please don’t listen to Ringside news

Wrestletalk: RINGSIDE NEWS SAID WHAT

[Redman-]

Here's an idea. How about y'all stop talking about the AEW TV deal until they announce it. Getting real tired of hearing speculation after speculation.

[Spectrum_]

Bro, I'm honestly sick of the tribalism, I'm personally a Fed guy. it's just how I like my wrestling, especially NXT, but man, can't we just let AEW fans enjoy the wrestling they like

[christopherdean]

More importantly, WBD hasn't made a comment or sent out a press release.

[doubles]

So AEW's operating costs are estimated to be 90 million per year, so if the TV Deal is $174 million per year, that immediately makes them a profitable company by about $80 million a year.

I think there's going to be a lot of very disappointed people at the end of this AEWTV deal announcement. Not that I don't think that AEW will get the big raise that everyone claims they will, but AEW will not share the numbers. They didn't share the numbers of their last deal, so why anyone's expecting them to share their numbers of this deal is beyond me. All we're going to get is an announcement of them saying the deal is done.

Then people like Dave Meltzer will tell us the number. And we are just supposed to trust that that is true. Because we'll never get an official number from AEW or WBD. So we never actually know whether they are profitable or not. But we will be told they are with just trust me bro as our source.

[bryanhathaway]

I’d like to point out, the likelihood that the hypothetical 170$ million deal story was planted by AEW, is just as high as the likelihood the “disaster for AEW” stories were planted by TKO. Given that both stories have just about as much evidence, and the sources who reported on each have ties or friendships with people that work in those companies.

Just figured I should point it out given Luke seemed to be implying that the inflated number that has no source, has just seemingly manifested out of online message boards as if any journalist cares what Reddit or 4 Chan thinks is happening behind closed doors to report on it in the first place.

Am Gonna Miss Oli's *Dance Choppa Dance* Dance Tempest Dance doesn't sound the same. Good Luck to Pete Q on the road ahead

[Giraffe-on-a-kite]

“I’m sure some podcasters are seething”

I think this is a perfect example of why some people have a bad taste in their mouth about AEW/their fans.

One of the best, most successful, moments in the ENTIRE HISTORY of the company and were still talking about other people. Why can’t we just celebrate our own success without making ourselves a victim?

[makalesoederhuysen]

Hikuleo joining would be huge, his size will give the new group the variety they desperately need.

[luchadorbeaux]

Curious, why not sneak in a quickie nxt review on Wednesday morning?

[Trikkypac]

It is not that AEW is not "competition", of course they are competing. But the fact is they are not close competition in the least. They are the Walgreens to WWEs Walmart. That's not hating on AEW by the way, I like both companies. But by every single metric you can measure, WWE is in a different stratosphere.

[Trikkypac]

Sean Ross Sapp is not the most reputable source either. He is basically Dave Meltzer Jr. They use low level sources or take educated guesses because they know that when they get it wrong they can just say "plans changed"

[timothyhawkins]

A lot of people don't have cable.

[HarleyQuinnSoldier]

"It's important to check your sources" oh the irony

[IamLegendaryguy]

NXT last night was a banger bring back review for NXT

[kidcutty]

At this point, isn't Warner Bros Discovery just bidding against themselves 🤷🏿‍♂️

[michaelsarkissian]

This is my "news" channel. The only "news" I care about.

[franklingoodwin]

Dave Meltzer reports AEW will ink a deal with WBD that will make them the most profitable wrestling company since WCW. Also Dave Meltzer "you shouldn't take this as gospel". I never take anything you say as gospel, Dave. I always assume you know half as much as you'd have people like WrestleTalk believe you do about anything.
