His announcement is that he bought the movie rights to Cocaine Bear 2 and in this one, Tony Khan and the bear are stoner buddies on the hunt for more cocaine, hilarity ensues The Force Ghost of Razor Ramon leads the way…damn, I kind of want to watch this now.

All joking aside, it's usually a successful tool to use even if the thing ends up being not that big of a deal. Simply saying you have a big announcement coming on a specific episode usually results in a higher than average rating. I remember years back it was always a running joke that when Raw got a lower than usual number that Vince would be back on TV the following week as a result and whenever they did actually announce "Mr. McMahon appears next week on Raw" it usually pulled a good number, just like Tony's announcements do. As long as it doesn't reach Dixie Carter levels were eventually people were burned too many times and it stopped being a selling point or ratings grabber. She would announce a huge debut of a former world champion and it would end up being like Al Snow and you're like okay even using the most generous definition of "world champion" this person doesn't fit the bill. Then she'd be on Twitter afterwards arguing with let down fans like "Al Snow was a former WWF WORLD tag team champion, honey." The closest we got to that was Christian. And he was a legit World Champion (two-time NWA World Champion in TNA and two-time WHC in WWE) and just a couple of months off an impressive Royal Rumble appearance. Just probably not who people were expecting with Tony hyping him up as one of his favorite wrestlers ever.

Company only a few years old has stuff to announce as they add things. More at 11. "We've got an announcement coming. It's okay I guess." hahaha, I mean really if I own an entertainment company and I'm about to get another show on a major network, HELL YES I'm going to hype the hell out of that announcement

Game release date UK show details Both important things for the company, even if they may not be for any individual fan. Same with the reality show. If we're going to start debating the semantics of "major announcement" vs "important announcement" then let me know so I can avoid it. They're just synonyms. I do not think that is the argument. The argument is whether these announcements need to be done in the manner they are as opposed to a press release or another way to avoid the constant backlash when people don't get what they want. I didn't say it was the argument. I said "if we're going to start" not that we are.

Not even close when her announcements included Snitsky in 2014 for example or Bram re-signing.

Mandy Rose joining AEW with a military gimmick as Maj. Anne Ouncements. Despite my dislike for both fourth-wall-breaking gimmicks and authority figure angles, I think I'd be okay with TK leading a modern-day Misfits in Action with meta references in place of the edgy 90s names. Apart from Private Stash being repurposed from a weed to a cocaine reference, presumably. Also, imagine Tony doing one of his announcements whist wearing purple baggy camo pants.

Just probably not who people were expecting with Tony hyping him up as one of his favorite wrestlers ever. I feel like the difference is that although, as a few people have said, fans and media outlets are prone to just making stuff up and speculating wildly, there are things we know are in the pipeline, stuff that a "big announcement" would reasonably be about. The UK stuff, like, that's been just hanging in the air for literally months now, they announced it was coming and then... nothing? So it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that one of the big announcements would be the dates for that. I can see how people who are waiting for that, me included, would get a little disappointed when something they're waiting for details on wasn't announced, but instead the announcement was... a reality show? Obviously other stuff going on right now too, like Forbidden Door 2, the AEW game, all stuff that probably means more to a core wrestling fan than All Access. I get why people waiting for stuff we know is coming would be disappointed.

It better be something regarding the UK show. Been waiting ages for a crumb and still nothing, although I understand logistics etc., is still an issue. I hope it hasn't been pushed ahead!

The announcement is to prepare for more announcements.

Andrew Zarian said on his livestream just now "Turner wants more AEW content, expect another announcement soon" I know it's not AEW officially but it baffles me they didn't want ROH for like TruTV or something, felt like an easy match and there's nothing going on for that channel outside of Impractical Jokers, which now simulcasts on TBS Curious what further programming they'd get if it's not another wrestling hour, Tony did say he wanted All Elite Women at one point but I assume that's not it yet.
