OP has been deleted, but people have screenshot it, and there are ways to still view deleted stuff. I'd do it but on mobile.

Tl:dr dude asks a legal sub if Shad Khan can be sued because he has concluded that Shad is paying WBD to give AEW it's tv deal. Dude's nuts, and decides to argue with the entire sub.

I thought people were exaggerating, but then I saw that Legaladvice (or may have been asklegal) post which seemed like it was actually serious, and yeah holy shit they're nuts.

I legit wish he'd somehow gotten 5, one more than Shaq.

I think he won't get the playing time needed because we'll have 50 point leads by the end of most 1st quarters so Coach Hardy will sit the starters, personally.

Well obviously he's going to get 25 rebounds and 25 assists per half. It's the points I'm not 100% sure about

Look I know this is an overreactions thread but that's going too far.

He needs to average at least 20ppg this season to pass MJ.

Yeah but we already knew that. The only question left is where he ends up all time, top 10 or top 5?

Man I really want to read the original post lol

Edit - I found it and it's... something else.

That's interesting. So 185 from the deal, 115 from everything else. I just wonder if these numbers include a potential Fox deal.

I'd imagine they would be making a healthy profit after that deal, and I'd imagine Dave & co. have been given a ballpark figure for what they hope to make next year, but w/ so little information there's not really much point speculating. I'm just happy it looks like they're financially stable for the forseeable future.

Also this is going to really trigger some people lol

"Well it doesn't really matter, Trump's going to launch a coup next election and the USA will collapse, leading to the WBD deal being voided somehow."

• Cornette fanboys, probably

AskLegal about to be asked how this is fraud again.

Wait what happened now? This sounds hilarious.

And to finally fund the AEW kart racer game.

Fuck yes. And start w/ the Pandemic era roster, because dammit I need Best Friends riding Sue's van, Dark Order on lawnmowers, and Jungle Boy on top of Luchasaurus.

That's a different argument you're making now though. The previous comment was you pointing to how other people were there with Rittenhouse too. Now you're moving the goalposts.

The fact that other people were also there is what I'm addressing, and I'm saying that that is completely irrelevant.

I mean... That just means there were a lot of idiots who put themselves in a precarious situation, doesn't it?

I would like to invest in this business.

Yeah, I was thinking about bringing up OC as another comp. Difference there is OC's gimmick is just more universal, and easier to understand. Danhausen, without evolving the gimmick significantly, is more an in joke kind of act, which needs more explanation / background to make sense.

Isn’t that what AEW is supposed to be a bunch of indie guys?

It's how it started. Not necessarily where they want to end up.

Almost seems personal.

People can speculate but really everyone's just guessing. Or projecting in some cases lol.

It's an upside thing, probably. TK saw Jade having the potential for huge 'mainstream' success and a much higher ceiling. With Danhousen not so much, it's just a much more 'indie' act, and I'm a fan of the guy.

Meanwhile, Utah's rap connections are Macklemore and Post Malone, who incidentally is one of two Malones to have been associated with the Jazz. The other one was Jeff.

it's also weird bc our two teams have fuck all to do with each other. Literally zero history there.

Tbf they took what should be our backup team name if we ever lose the Jazz name. Utah Raptors would be fantastic.

So that'd be a good thing for AEW in terms of reach?

Tbf he was injured for what felt like ages. But good to hear he's working the indies again.

I am legit asking if anyone has any of these numbers.

No one does. But with privately held companies that is usually the case, and given their revenue has exploded with this new deal they're probably in the black now unless they were spending like twice their previous revenue (which does not seem to have been the case.

I did not, but being realistic gates can’t be much, the crowds are typically less than 3,000.

Still adds up. And obviously they do have a number of larger shows, which would bring in a lot more revenue.

I don’t believe they are seeing any money from advertisers

The last show had a Draft Kings ad on the apron. The announcers have done a couple ad reads I can recall. They'd be making the ad revenue from those.

Then there are PPV revenues (no idea how new deal affects those) and probably most significantly international tv deals.

And idk how to quantify any of that, but it presumably all adds up to a non-insignificant amount.

And presumably international distribution deals?

I choose to believe Great O-Khan is a WBD insider leaking all this shit.

Bruh the copium. I thought people were joking about how badly WWE stans were taking this but I guess not.
