patreon.com

cost you

absolutely nothing zero man take

advantage of it why bro because I'm

giving you a sampling I'm giving you a

sampling bro of what my shows are like

with Val snow Stevie Ray Stevie Richards

Ben Hamin EC3 the Disco Inferno of

Stevie Ray of Harlem heat bro we're

giving you a little sample of what our

shows are like we're not we're not Mark

shows bro we've all been in the business

we all understand the business we all

talk about the hot topics and that's why

I want to talk about what I think is

going to happen with aew first of all

bro let me make one thing perfectly

clear if you for one second believe that

I want aew to not get a television deal

and go out of business you're an idiot

bro if if you're thinking that you are a

mark So if if you're asking yourself the

question how do I know I'm a wrestling

Mark bro if you're thinking that you're

a wrestling Mark if you're thinking for

a second I want aew to go on your

wrestling Mar and I'll tell you why bro

there are two big reasons for that

number one I have a lot of friends at

aew that are getting paid very very well

and I want them to continue getting paid

very very very well you guys know man I

am a huge Tony Shani fan I am a huge Taz

fan I am a huge Chris Jericho fan

they're making good coin over at aew bro

I want them to continue to make good

coin but bro the second reason may be

Far and Away the most important

reason Tony Khan just provides

unbelievable content for russos

brand.com he really really does I'm not

saying that in a sarcastic manner I'm

not saying that in a joking matter uh

Tony Khan bro just Pro provides us with

great content uh that we really use on a

uh on a daily basis I I can't

imagine losing Tony KH Tony KH as part

as Russo brand.com bro it would not be

good for business and I am

being perfectly

1,00% serious with you so I I I want

Tony Khan to be in business for a very

very very very long time bro when when

we're doing castrating the

marks and Tony Khan pops up on my screen

you can see a huge smile across my face

I love characters bro I I am genuinely

entertained by Tony Khan as a shoot that

is a shoot bro so I don't want aew to go

anywhere but there are two very

significant news stories out there which

I

think give us a little insight to how

this this may shake out now as you know

guys about a week ago the the exclusive

window where one of brother's

Discovery was negotiating with aew and a

W was not allowed to negotiate with

anybody else but Warner Brothers

discovery that uh that window bro has

closed they passed the deadline so now

aw can negotiate with anybody they want

now where I'm coming from is if one of

Brothers Discovery really really wanted

aew

I don't think they would have let that

window expire because once they let that

window expire bro and that window opens

back up now you're allowing other people

to come in that window and make a deal

with

aew now nobody has made a deal with aew

so right there that tells you a lot I

think think aew and Tony Khan is very

eager to make a deal with wbd I mean

Tony has told us that he loves wbd as a

partner I think the holdup is that wbd

is nowhere near offering the money that

Tony KH is looking for and if if wbd

isn't offering it that means nobody else

is offering it as well so do they have a

a a viable product bro if you are a

content creator you have a viable

product content is King today bro King

man you know networks cable streaming

services if you are a content

provider content is King so yes bro

wbd any other streaming service any

other network cable provider they can

all use that content however I don't

think they believe that content is worth

what Tony thinks it's worth

nor perhaps they can't even afford it

now you're saying to me Vince wbd can't

afford it what are you talking about I'm

going to show you exactly what I'm

talking about bro because here's a story

that came out just

today uh let me read it to you war of

Brothers

Discovery stock freef Falls over

9.1 billion charge uncertainty around

Sports rights

renewals David zaz lofs No Good Very Bad

Year keeps getting worse drastically so

um where was this on this was on a site

awful announcing but it's on the front

page of

uh Microsoft micro soft start the Warner

Brothers Discovery CEO said goodbye to

NBA meteorites last month something he

and wbd are still fighting turns out

that was just the tip of the iceberg

when it came to their losses so just

listen to these financials

bro as it relates to wbd which is going

to tell you they are not in a position

to be throwing money

around wbd announced its second quarter

2024 earnings Wednesday which included a

9.1 billion impairment charge stemming

from a revaluation of their TV Network's

value as audiences and advertisers leave

in droves for streaming

services coupled with an additional 2.1

billion in cost related to the merger

between war and meteor and Discovery

they had a grand total of

11.2 billion in losses on their balance

sheet last quarter

11.2 billions in losses in the last

quarter alone

11.2 billion bro we are not throwing

around money

bro that is an unbelievable significant

amount of cha-ching hold on bro I want

to get these super stickers I want to

make sure uh I I address all of them

guys because I appreciate the donations

so I don't want anything to get uh lost

let me pull this one up right here uh

David

melee when it comes to curating the Mars

Tony Conor is the gift that keeps on

giving absolutely bro the jelly of the

month club keep roasting the marks bro

absolutely bro we will roast the marks

no matter what bro nobody's gonna tell

me what marks to roast and what marks

not to roast I will roast whatever marks

I want so bro $ 11.2 billion last

quarter they

lost so the money is not there for them

to be thrown around as especially bro on

a product that over the last five years

is showing nothing but loss when it

comes to

viewers um we all know

bro aw started with 1.4 million viewers

they're down to half of that and it's

been a decline for five years so wh why

would why would Warner Brothers

Discovery believe that all of a sudden

there's going to be a bounceback they're

doing business as usual bro nothing is

changed so they are looking at a

five-year decline of viewership now keep

in mind bro wbd also has to go and sell

that decline to their advertisers bro

so right now it's not very

appealing do they need the content

especially after lose in the NBA

absolutely bro but they are not going to

overpay for that content now on the

piggyback there is another interesting

story that came out

today one a Brothers Discovery to re

Rebrand True TV as

TNT Sports boosting aew visibility one

of Brothers Discovery has announced that

it will Rebrand true TV's Prime Time

lineup as TNT Sports beginning in

October which could be a a a a s a shift

for sports broadcasting and Wrestling

Entertainment the news came from wbd CEO

David zof during the company's Q2

earnings call the move is seen as a

potential win for all elite wrestling

amid ongoing talks about its future on

wbd networks medeia analyst Brian

stonberg tweeted the tals of the

rebranding strategy noting that true TV

will transition to become a home for

Sports Under the TNT

Banner okay bro so they are making a

transition now True TV is going to

transition into TNT

Sports so what does that mean bro well

that means they need Sports bro which

really does put

aew uh in a very very very good position

to renew the

deal uh aew can give them Sports aew can

give them hours and hours and hours of

wrestling they've built a company that

can do that so if

wbd is going

to Kickstart TNT Sports and they don't

have the NBA they need Sports bro so the

aew brand right now should be valuable

to them however the question is how

valuable and I really believe bro that

is the holdup I believe

Tony is probably seeking more money then

Warner Brothers Discovery thinks the

product or the content is worth um guys

again let me tell you you want to be a

part of this conversation super sticker

or donation I will pull you up on the

screen we can talk about anything bro

you even want to talk about SummerSlam

anything like that I'll be happy to talk

about whatever you want so I think this

is the delay bro I think this is the

delay and bro listen here's the bottom

line

aew has hemorrhaged money over the past

five years bro hemorrhaged money over

the last five years they've lost a boat

load of money and Tony Khan was probably

banking on an in increase in television

rights to make up some of that lost

revenue and it doesn't look like he's

getting that bro and that is the hold up

and I got to tell you man I think wbd is

very smart to not blink and I'll tell

you

why since that window has been opened

nobody else is negotiating with wbd if

they are it's a big

secret uh they haven't signed with

anybody else bro so that may mean that

there may not be any serious

biders and let's face it bro if

potential partners are comparing aew

numbers to WWE numbers aew doesn't stand

a chance bro they are getting killed by

the WWE

I think Warner Brothers Discovery knows

all of that bro and I think they are

waiting this thing out because they know

Tony's got nowhere else to go and Tony

is gonna wind up taking what they give

him Bobo what's going on TNT Sports just

on to deal with the savan banana oh

that's awesome bro I love that with

deals like that they can fill the sports

slots without aew Bobo there is no

question about that if they had to fill

these slots without

aew there is no question that they can

do that but I think they know there

isn't another potential partner for aew

bro and I think they know they can get

aew at their price bro I think they know

that this is

negotiation bro and what do I think at

the end of the day I think at the end of

the day Tony Khan is going to agree to a

deal with whatever Warner Brothers

Discovery gives him why because

obviously bro for Tony Khan this is not

a about money bro when you are a

billionaire bro you can probably lose a

few million dollars as a tax write off

bro this is not about money to Tony Khan

uh this has never been about money to

Tony Khan I'm sure he wants to show a

profit to his old man I'm sure that is

very very very important to him bro um

and I understand that

but he's not going to xay a deal bro if

they don't pay him what he wants to pay

so I do believe they're going to sign a

deal I do believe it's probably going to

be for the same term of the last

contract if not

less and Tony KH will sign it bro

because this is a uh this is a passion

project for him we all know bro Tony KH

he he told us man he's been wrestling

booking he's been wrestling uh booking

wrestling shows since he's freaking 10

years old walking around with a backpack

bro wrestler X versus wrestler y he

loves this bro he loves wrestlers

working for him he loves talking to Dave

Meltzer he loves being the booker man he

loves all of this this is not about

making money for uh a Tony Khan it is

not about that bro it has has never been

about that t Square thank you very much

bro for the donation Russo in the house

so guys there is my

prediction they're GNA come to an

agreement they are going to come to

agreement on the terms of Warner

Brothers Discovery bro um Tony is not

going to get the money that he is

looking for and unfortunately bro he

does not have a

choice because he does not have a

product that is in demand and he has had

a product that has shown viewership loss

over a fiveyear span that's what he's

out there selling bro and nobody's

buying so he's gonna have to go home and

he's going to have to take whatever

Warner Brothers Discovery gives him bro

that that is my take on the situation

bro listen man I want to remind you if

you've never been a patreon member go
