AEW Show Discussion

Variety is reporting that TBS and TNT, now under the Discovery umbrella after that company's takeover of WarnerMedia, will no longer develop original scripted programming.  Discovery is seeking to cut $3 Billion in costs post-merger.   

Deadline.com reported that a planned TBS comedy starring Damon Wayans Jr. Kill The Orange-Faced Bear was canceled just a week before going into production in Vancouver, British Columbia.

AEW was not mentioned in either article and may not fall under the scripted programing category.  None of the programming that would fall under that category bring in the overnight ratings that AEW programming does for the networks, so it may be that TBS and TNT ramping down their original developmental of content would place AEW in a much more important position for the networks.

AEW's current deal, which was signed well before the Discovery takeover, runs through 2023

I'm guessing this is why Punk gets on commentary, to get more time to plug their program.

I hope Hanger is alright and gets through this well.

[Guest Fight Me.]

Cash vs. Dax. Let's go.

[Guest Fight Me.]

LFG!!!!

[Guest Fight Me.]

WARDOG A BEAST.

Wardlow okay? He's been freaking out since the Chokeslam.

[PaperThinWalls]

What a promo from Punk. So damn effortless.

[Guest Fight Me.]

Daniel Garcia is CRAZY lmao

MJF got W. MORRISEY (Big Cass)?! lol

THE GOAT FENIX.

DEONNA PURRAZZO.

Sammy really gonna still come out the face tunnel like he ain't tell the crowd last week "NO BITCHES?".

That was nuts but Sammy just ate shit lmao

[EJ!]

WHY WOULD HE DO THAT

[Guest Fight Me.]

Sammy & Tay really turned American Top Team face lmao

Scorpio Sky got his redemption.

The booking of the TNT title has been doodoo but TK saw his chance to make Scorpio the babyface star he should've been and took it lol

MJF really bullied Morrisey's GF before hiring him.

This episode was a wild ride. I enjoyed damn near all of it except Scorpio's soggy ass winning the title.

[glennsoe]

At the rate this is gong, TNT title should be renamed the hot potato title...

Some are comparing it to the 24/7 title now..

i can’t see Lambert or Ethan Page being faces. i’m predicting Scorpio getting booted out of ATT and feuding with Page.

Man I miss NXT Adam Cole and UE. Cole is technically the same but he seems so lost in the shuffle, even during his feud with Hangman. Just feel like everything he does in AEW just doesn’t mean a lot.

Yeah I think that's why they reintroduced Kazarian into the mix. They gave a look in the background when Sky gave him the SCU handshake lol

She's also DDP's daughter lol

[Guest Fight Me.]

Hmm.

[Guest Fight Me.]

No more dumb shit pls lol

[Guest Fight Me.]

moving graphics ?

[Guest Fight Me.]

AYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA.

[Guest Fight Me.]

HOOKHAUSEN.

Hmmm I think they should drag this out til the PPV. Hookhausen's tag debut could be up there with OC's debut as something special lol Smart Mark and Tony Nese may be the perfect first opponents too.

And then with people campaigning for Stokely Hathaway (Malcolm Bivens) replacing Smart Mark as Jade's manager, I could see it happening now. Jade could fire Smart Mark after he embarrasses himself in this match and he already has Tony Nese so he doesn't lose his TV spot. Everyone wins here I think.

5:30pm ET. Damn that's like as soon as I get home from work lmao
