Ari reiterated that TKO is very open to moving RAW off Monday's in a new TV deal.

Also blamed Vince having the ability to sell all his stock immediately as the reason the stock has taken a hit.

The stock very clearly tanked after the SD contract was reported lol.

Which is kinda crazy considering it was a 40% increase.

There's a lot of executives at Disney, doesn't have to be a big name. Plus she's got a lot of connections through her SAG membership. She's said a few months ago already that she's got friends working on the Aquaman 2 set and they've seen saying that it's a f***ing mess. And this week reports have come out about it on major trades confirming it: ‘Aquaman 2’ Flooded With Drama: Jason Momoa Allegedly Drunk on Set, Amber Heard Scenes Cut, Elon Musk’s Letter to WB and More The people working on Campea's show have been proven to be connected. He himself has industry friends who have frequently sent him pictures and videos from projects that have yet to come out. I mean he himself got into a mess when he posted pictures of Tobey and Andrew on Spider-Man No Way Home set which he thought were fakes but when told they were real, he deleted them.

Follow up on this off topic discussion, Kris Carr said a couple of minutes ago that according to her friend at Disney, they were getting ready for the shows and films to continue shooting but they were caught by surprise that the talk halted. So it seems that Netflix and Ted Sarandos is the main culprit at the studio end for the talks being difficult as had been reported earlier. Disney and other seem more willing to end the strike than Netflix.
 
CW is really branching out into athletic events. I wonder how it will pan out for the network in the long run but good for NWA to hitch a ride on that train in case it is a successful journey.
 
Ospreay saying he is open to moving to the States and would love a dream match with Rollins. Guy is perfectly playing his cards to get the absolute biggest of bags ever. It is going to be AEW or WWE without a doubt and New Japan got no chance lol

They should do a match where Seth puts up his own money.

Should save that for the ATD.
 
WWE is changing the layout of the Survivor Series stage to allow more sections of All-State Arena to be open.

Seats behind the stage aren't listed as obstructed so maybe they are shrinking or removing the stage and giant LED screen entirely

Trying to set a attendance record for the former Rosemont Horizon? Of making room in case one of Chicago's favorite sons shows up?

This reads as Ospreay is trying to get as much money out of Tony Khan as possible lol.

Will Ospreay doesn't mean shit to the WWE. He would to AEW.

This.

I am sure WWE will be interested, but they won't pay anywhere close to what Tony will. Ospreay is not a needle mover for WWE. Could be for AEW.

I don't see anyone short of a Cena, Brock, or The Rock being a needle mover for AEW, and even the boost from those guys would wear off after a few weeks probably. Ospreay might get a a few more eyes initially but in the end I think the majority of his fanbase is probably already included within AEW's group of hardcore fans who will watch every week no matter what

Yeah, I do not disagree. Needle mover might have been the wrong choice of word.

I'd say that Ospreay can be a big main-event player for AEW, not for WWE. They do not put people like him in that spot. What makes him special would probably be removed in WWE.

For sure he would be a good add to the roster, I am all for adding top tier guys with the hope it pushes some of the dead weight off of the bottom of the roster

I mean I’m pretty confident that if they brought Ospreay in he would like immediately be inserted into the upper part of the card. That said I do think he will be offered more money by Tony and is probably more valued by Tony then he would be in WWE. But this absolutely is him working to make sure every last dollar ends up in his bank account which I mean he should be. He is the best wrestler in the entire world and likely significantly under paid right now.

As they should. I love simple staging/entry ramps. Backlash in Puerto Rico was nuts and the crowd was right on top of the entrance.

In WWE? I do not think so.

Recent history does suggest otherwise with Cody and now with how they're portraying Jade Cargill. She's skipping NXT and will be going against Charlotte, Asuka, Becky, Bianca, et al in no time.

It really would be perfect timing for WWE to give him a Godfather offer and have Rollins take a break/get surgery. He'd jump right in and you have those two as a program when he's healthy.

Cody and especially Jade fit the profile of what WWE look for in a star. Ospreay? Not as much.

I have no doubt he would have good matches and would be used. I do not think he would be a main-eventer in WWE though.

As I said, I am sure they have interest, but I do not think thew view him as a must get. Tony, most likely.
 
I disagree that Ospreay would not be a needle mover, they have been wanting and are short on British stars
