Looks like WWE won't be getting their shows on WBD. Nick Khan had negotiations with them in October and the company rejected his pitch.

I presume they know that they can low-ball AEW in their next negotiation and get a show that does well enough in the demo for peanuts rather than paying WWE billions.

This must be why yesterday TK said AEW's new "lucrative" tv deal would be finalized in 2024.

Not so much lowballing them since RAW's TV rights aren't what they think they're worth, after all they're doing worse than Smackdown and Fox went and said they didn't get the numbers they paid for when it came to Smackdown which may hurt Raw's deals, and currently Phil is a "free agent" in the company so he can appear on both shows to help with Raw's viewership. It's more about being shifted around to make way for real sports that would make WBD money. WWE doesn't want to do that.

WWE even said they would take Raw off Mondays if it meant a good deal. What that "good deal" means who knows.

Unironically I'd like to see punk vs Logan Paul

Not even Logan Paul could save Phil's career like he did with Rey at this point. Though at least it's not the first dead body a Paul saw.

I've been told Rick's segment on Fridays rampage is super cringe. Glad I got better things to do then watch some way over the hill wrestler try and get another 15 mins of fame.

This is what Bleacher has to say about it. It must have been really bad.

Flair is a bad fit for a wrestling organization propped up entirely by reddit tbqh

Yeah buts its Ric fucking Flair, thats his way. Would be as stupid as getting upset that Hogan would come onto AEW and would hotdog and grandstand, its what they do. Or Austin swearing. Or Bret moaning.

AEW is dominated by twitter trannies, they will never be able to move outside of that without it causing issues. It might end up helping the show finally getting a milly, but twitterarti for some reason is more important.

Fag company.

Who have cultivated fag fans who care more about "current thing" and always being good soycucks instead of actually being entertained by suspending disbelief. The way they take kayfaybe stuff as absolute fact whenever it aligns with their <is bad> reddit filter they chimp out and try to get people fired for getting heat.
 
i get why they cut the flair stuff but at the same time as others have said that is his entire thing. he is ric flair he is always inviting girls back to his hotel room or bragging about how even if he is the oldest ride in the amusement part he still has the longest line. thats just how he is so cutting that out is like telling steve austin he needs to stop drinking beers and drink sparkling water instead as to avoid triggering alcoholics. it just makes no sense.

but i am guessing it was done to avoid more twitter autist sperging about the evil rapist and serial sex offender ric flair is not only being employed by aew but being allowed to brag about still getting women or whatever.

its stupid and i will be glad when flair fucks off because he is too old for this shit. i have no problem with him wanting to be there for stings last match since they have history but after that i hope he leaves.

Wrestling would've been so boring with that mindset 25 years ago.
- Noooo Rock, there's nothing wrong with liking strudel; what are you insinuating, are you a homophobe?!?
- Nooooo Goldust, literally everything you do can be taken as offensive towards the gay community (aj_styles_grimace.jpg) and should not be showcased on TV!
- Noooooooooo Val Venis should be Gal Venus, a strong independent woman who embraces her sexuality and empowers herself against all men! Val Venis is just an incel fantasy!
- Nooooooooooooo Evolution shouldn't endorse and promote "exec"/"ceo" excess with fancy rides and hot girls, that's so sexist!!
- Noooooooooooooooooo this audience is so homophobic and misogynist with their "F*gg*t" & "Sl*t" chants!
- Nooooooooooooooooooooooo Edge & Christian perpetuate fratbro stereotypes that are harmful to society and promote toxic masculinity!
- Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Undertaker is a neo-nazi with his American nationalist pride!! An American Biker, practically Hitler!!!
