How did Based Tonedog succeed in creating a strong, profitable #2 company while everyone else, including the supposed brightest minds in wrestling history (Cornette, Dutch, Jarretts, Bischoff, Hogan) have failed in the last 30 years?

silotits is NOT going to like this

I am Big T's strongest and most loyal warrior. If he says the word, I would die for him.

>>18167502 (OP)
>Profitable
Lmao
>Number 2
Even in your fantasy where AEW has made a profit they're still number 2 to WWE. Grim stuff

Money if I had the money he has I could book a better show says the edrone

But realistically like nick khan said tony khans father is powerful and cornettes lucky his father doesn’t care. Because let me tell you his father is probably part of the real elite

>>18167502 (OP)
>>>>>>>>>>>profitable

Pure talent, that’s all

>>18167538
What's grim about being behind WWE?

>>18167502 (OP)
Your 300th anniversary show lost to HGTV. Fraid so.

>>18167502 (OP)
Because his dad owns an NFL team and that has a lot of away with networks. The only other company that had a strong partner was WCW and losing that partner killed the company (literally.) if Ted Turner has his way, there wouldn't be an AEW because WCW would still be on.

Although I just realized that the three biggest wrestling owners in modern times are Ted Turner, Shad Khan, and Vince McMahon and only one of them didn't own a professional sports team.

>#2
kek

>>18167560
Nothing wrong with being the second place lil bro, I'm glad you know your place. But if you lied about them being profitable you should have went all the way.

>>18167597
AEW is extremely profitable

>>18167607
If you want to believe those lies you can.

>>18167624
They were confirmed profitable with the new deal. Can’t say the same for WWE though, TKO is drowning in debt

>>18167637
Again if you want to believe those lies you can, the debt came from the UFC side. You can look at all the numbers unlike with AEW. Because AEW has made no profit.

>>18167658
AEW has made a massive profit, we have evidence for this. The debt is on WWE’s side because they make no money outside of the Saudi deal

#2 by default because they haven't made a Home and Garden Pro Wrestling promotion yet

>>18167658
Better keep wolfing down those slimjims if you wanna pay off Ari's debt

>>18167671
AEW has made no profit, all the debt is from the UFC side. Again you can look at all the records unlike with AEW, who has lost millions

>>18167684
WWE is already crushing AEW why would I need to give them more money?

>>18167671
>>18167637
>While AEW has no doubt cemented itself as the second-biggest professional wrestling promotion behind WWE over the last few years, the company has yet to make a profit – a point that Tony Khan himself has addressed in the past.

OHNONONO
AHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>18167538
Yeah 185 million a year TV deal

>>18167704
$185 million that's it? You said they were getting a billion lil troon bro

>>18167701
He had nothing for this kek

>>18167502 (OP)
OP is a faggot and should kill himself

>>18167701
>a point that Tony Khan himself has addressed in the past.
He addressed it by saying it's wrong

>>18167502 (OP)
TNA Impact's highest rating was 2.2 million viewers. Dynamite's never even gotten close to that, and last week's show only had ~500k viewers.

>>18167502 (OP)
AEW has literally never turned a profit in over 5 years. It's just Tony wasting his dad's money because it keeps him occupied and away from fucking with Shad's sports teams that actually make him money.

>>18167704
$185 million a year and they still can't turn a profit?

love the tonester
simple as

>>18167701
>May 2024
>signed a deal where they become massively profitable starting from January 2025
try to keep up lil buddy

>>18167796
They still haven't turned a profit in 2025. Meltzer has admitted this and he's constantly shilling for AEW and trying to spin stuff in their favor.

try to keep up lil buddy

oh they be oinkin. they be squealin. what's the matter? Women's Evolution and NXT PLE not doing so hot???
tony's about to make triple HGH his bitch AGAIN. you can't counter program a company where the best wrestle. charlotte flair and ricky stanks is water off the tonedog's back.

>>18167890
You lost to HGTV

>>18167898
You think everyone else cares about ratings as deeply as you do

>>18167962
When AEW was beating NXT in the ratings, AEW marks were constantly bragging, dissecting quarter hours, and obsessed with the 18-34 demo. Don't pretend like this came out of nowhere. Once AEW started losing to NXT, all of their dork fanbase suddenly pretend like TV ratings don't matter and they weren't obsessed with them for two years.

>>18167962
It’s funny and it’s true you lost to HGTV

>>18167983
They mattered when they were head to head. It mattered because if one side won, then AEW would die. But it didn't happen, and now they aren't head to head anymore and ratings no longer matter to anyone who isn't mindbroken with console war PTSD. (i.e. you)

Even if NXT goes back head to head with Dynamite, it still isn't going to matter because AEW also has Collision and so the counter-programming would have no effect on their business. AEW survived WWE's attempt to kill them, and everybody moved on, except for you guys.

The biggest ratingsfags still don't actually even understand why ratings were important. For them they think it was just bragging rights. So fucking retarded lmao.

>>18168029
AEW marks were just taking a victory lap over 740k for Grand Slam Mexico. It has nothing to do with head to head. 740k would have been a TERRIBLE rating 2-3 years ago. They're all obsessed with ratings when Dynamite is up, and suddenly are all "Ratings don't actually matter now that people can stream on Max" when ratings go down. Meanwhile, AEW marks never EVER talk about Collision's ratings because they're always dogshit.

>>18168059
Nobody actually cares about ratings. You think it's important because you pretend anything is important if you can use it to attack AEW and its fans due to the trauma you went through. Ratings have literally not mattered since even BEFORE NXT moved to Tuesday, since nothing was changing with them for years and the outcome was obvious. They were a datapoint in AEW's contractual future, and the question has been answered.

He’s a businessman. Those other jabronis are wrestlers and always thinking of how to con people
