I'd believe that happened more than once lol

So with Bray released, does that make AEW have more interest in Braun and Rowan? A rebooted Wyatt family with less smoke and mirrors and more chaos mixed in would be fun.

Jordan 08-01-2021 11:13 AM

It makes a lot of sense to do that but at the same time I really can't imagine AEW hiring all three of them without totally over bloating the roster. They absolutely should not fall into that WCW trap of having way to many guys on the roster. I am certain that AEW has some talent signed to deals that are generally used only on Dark and Elevation that they could cut loose any virtually nobody would notice but at the top of the card especially with Punk and Danielson they are packed. It's a tough call honestly.

My preference would be for Wyatt, Rowan & Braun to get a deal with NJPW. While they don't fit the workrate style they are big bad bruisers and that is a style that's always had a place in Japan. Plus they could be big in aiding the NJPW of America promotion.

I think it's time for another company to start forking over the money for the released WWE talent. I'm glad that the undercard workers are finding something in Impact but honestly that company means next to nothin to me, and we know that in all likelihood they don't have the money to pay for a star like Bray or Braun.

I'd love for ROH to get beefed up with some big time signings but I don't see it happening.

Lock Jaw 08-01-2021 11:42 AM

Bringing Braun in to pair with Wyatt again would be a waste.... I still say that they should bring Braun in as their "Brock Lesnar", have him easily dominate everybody and win the title and then barely show up to defend it.

Then eventually he is defeated by.... oh, let's say.... Christian

If the New Day know they're worth, they don't bite. Unless it's in WWE. And even then, they go over, because they are actual stars.

Did people actually rejoice when the Young Bucks and Revival fought?

Strowman said his left leg is 15% paralyzed and he can't "lift" like he used to anymore......




Might not happen. it'd be super awesome tho, minus the whole Christian part.

It's a TV channel that has divisions all over Europe and I guess in India.

Right after I deleted my comment :lol:

Sony dominates sports here. Don't think Eurosport is that big...

drave 08-02-2021 10:11 AM

Eurosport was huge when I lived in Germany. That's what they played TNA on anyway. Was always advertised as the best football channel, so it was errrrrrywhere.


Seems too fast to expand in India. Seems like a bad idea to do "too much too fast".

I don't see how it could hurt? From what I have read India seems to be fairly thirsty for Wrestling and has a lot of die hard fans.

WWE enjoys a great deal of popularity here and the viewership is pretty strong as well. Probably comparable to that of America. Don't think AEW would have the same reach as them.

drave 08-02-2021 10:15 AM

right. They won't have the same reach and as of yet, they still aren't turning a profit are they?


I know fuckall about business, especially tv deals and all. I do know they do have to shell out more $$$$ though, but still.


Also, I'm a dipshit and thought they were EXPANDING like an actual fed in India or something. Words are hard.

Jordan 08-02-2021 10:24 AM

Skeletor do you have any insight on how WWE makes money in India? I'd assume a moderate TV rights deal like in the US but likely not close to a US deal money wise, correct or is it something different?

Also I'd assume that AEW isn't paying for their India deal but being paid or taking a share in ad revenue while getting the benefits from exposure.

drave 08-02-2021 10:27 AM

Why is my boy Manju holding a knife tho.

Jordan 08-02-2021 10:28 AM

Apparently this is the same channel that airs Impact and that deal is one of their biggest sources of income.

I wish I had the numbers. It's certainly very lucrative. Besides RAW, Smackdown and NXT, PPV specials are free. They also air Network documentaries and throwback episodes on the weekends. Also the live episodes have commentaries in four major languages.

Yeah! Sony broadcasts both WWE and Impact Wrestling.

I just learned that Eurosport was initially DSport. They broadcasted ROH for a while so they have some background in presenting professional wrestling.

drave 08-02-2021 10:38 AM

Okay but why is the Great Value Indian Romain Reigns in the bottom right corner? They billin him at 6' 6" 285?


Almost reminds me of the Mike Tyson profile pic from Punch Out!

WWE's India deal in 2016 was reportedly $385 million.

Jordan 08-02-2021 10:51 AM

Wow that's a lot of money.
