Same here.  4 a year plus Forbidden Door and Wrestledream would suit me just fine.

 

If anything, at least have a 2 for 1 for All In/All Out, since that's about 100 bucks in a short span.

I was able to get 2-1 All in and All out on Triller in canada

There was like a whole five month stretch where Jim Ross use to bust Lawler's chops on commentary for using Henny Youngman material. It was incessant. Probably not as incessant as him saying ".....is walking tall!" in Mid South or cussing Triple H in late 90s/2000s, but damn close.

That was Ice Ribbon's dojo. Ice Ribbon runs weekly shows there and occasionally rents it out to other promotions when they need matches filmed. If it's good enough for Tsukasa Fujimoto, it's good enough for everyone else.

Also: Where would one just procure an empty warehouse in Japan? Emptywarehouses-R-Us.co.jp?

I sure hope not, emptywarehouses-r-us.co.jp is a fraud! A scam! A hoax!!!

Japan having empty warehouses at all seems like it shouldn't exist. Maybe an empty car garage or something? 

Takeshita was pretty over at the PPV, but I wonder if he still hates working in America like he claimed. He's good at working both face and heel. Cool heel might actually work best.

I will enjoy seeing how the mouth-breathers try to explain how this deal actually would hurt AEW and cause them to go out of business faster, if this is the case.

Fox has confirmed talks w AEW. Sounds like it might be anything from a Dark-style show on Tubi to a Saturday night show on Fox or FS1. Or all of the above. The problem w WWE & Fox was always how much Fox was paying, not how much ad revenue they were making. AEW could get a nice big check & still cost wayyy less per eyes viewed than WWE does.

I want them all but hot damn a Dark-style show on Tubi would be seriously welcome.

Actual receipts on that one that isn’t dirtsheets having a “source” close to Fox? They’ve been saying the TV rights deal will be announced imminently for over a year now, and Zarian claimed last year that the HBO Max deal would be announced soon. So I’m calling bullshit on “Fox has confirmed talks with AEW” unless it’s from an actual reputable source.

An acquaintance of mine only got back into wrestling when Smackdown came to Fox so I'm sure he'd be fine with some new wrestling. Besides antenna all he uses is Tubi. AEW could definitely pick up some newer fans from this

Come on. Noted Young Bucks hater @just drew and the voices in his head don’t count as a reputable source?

I’m sure now that you’ve called him out he’ll claim he was “over-served” again like he did after I called him out for being rude to everyone on Sunday.

Your hate boner for him is as annoying as his hate boner for The Young Bucks FYI. I'd dial back the smugness about 42 notches.

I mean, that's one in the same. I've said it repeatedly in the financials thread, a TV company is going to want a return on their investment. If the ad rates aren't giving them that return on investment, then they're going to either want to cut the rights fees or cancel the show.

Think of it this way, they could have easily been happy with a $25 CPM, which is around what SmackDown was making, but if WWE wants rights fees that would have required a $40 CPM to make everyone happy on all sides, well... there's a problem.

Zarian’s got it now. He had the Punk/Collision stuff way before anyone else. I don’t know why it’s hard to believe that a media broadcasting company would be talking to a content creator, particularly when both entities are connected at several points.

 

Also, to whomever it may concern, I only drink on weekends, with friends. That’s what people with friends do.

Dang. Found something we can agree on!

Although sometimes I go out drinking on Thursdays, too.

Having friends is the best! Pro wrestling should reflect that more.

awh man, congrats to Stokely!

Also for those wondering why the Outrunners aren’t on the PWI 500, they asked to be removed from the list to give everyone else a chance. So humble for two guys that are so young.
