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! If Tony wants to run a show at Fulham's stadium, he really needs to hurry up and announce it.
They only have a small window between the end of May through to the beginning of July to run this show if he wants it there......the pitch will need replacing after a show like this, so Fulham will want it done as soon as possible, so it's ready for the new football season in August.
Meltzer is reporting that AEW plan to have a show in Hamilton Ontario at the end of June, so thats one week that wont be available.

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. reading between the lines of comments from insiders, it's a brand thing for WBD, and they just don't think ROH the brand has the buzz of AEW. Honor Club may be a test run for them. I remember there being reports that they were filming test footage for a Darby Allin show called Darby's Day Off, and they did want to do something with Jungle Boy, so am curious what the content would be

Logistically Craven Cottage (Fulham) would be one of the worst places to host an event, although I appreciate it would be free.
Should hold it at Tottenham's shiny new toilet bowl stadium instead. It would be the only time there'd be a title inside Shite Hart Lane.

If they'll ever have a go at the shite hart lane, we'll be running round with our willies hanging around.

Bad football jokes aside, I don't think AEW could fill Spurs' Stadium. It's over two times bigger than Craven Cottage. Craven Cottage would be more achievable if they put on a good card.

I still don't see why people were down on All-Access in the first place, it'll be a fine series and it might even help them get some new fans But I'm curious what else is coming if it's not gonna be the same as that and people will like it more. Did they get another hour of wrestling somewhere? That'd be huge.

Didn't see this post...These announcements have become a meme for better or worse at this point. Dixie lives on.

The AEW name is becoming known, which is cool; ROH doesn’t have that branding, at least in the cable world. So I imagine things will have to be branded AEW to get green lit.

Which is why it'd be cool if they got another hour of wrestling somewhere maybe. Maybe scrap Elevation and air another hour at 7 for live TV. It'd probably encourage fans to get there earlier as well. But we'll see what they announce, if they're saying people will like it way more than access then it sounds like it won't be another reality TV program.

Thats great news, if another of the announcements if that WBD gave them the bag then its easily bigger news than the Reality show.

Big money and a mass extension would be very good for contract negotiations too in terms of outbidding and selling people on a safe and productive future

Did they get another hour of wrestling somewhere? That'd be huge. With All Access I think it's key to remember that Tony said it was an important announcement to impact AEW and people like Alvarez, Zarin, and SRS said that people in AEW all confirmed ahead of time thatto fans it likely wouldn't be a big deal bit the company felt like getting that slot was big.

Tony had Miro sign ten new contracts. One for every god that abandoned him. Miro’s favourite band is Architects. (If a single person gets this reference I will be happy)

Considering WarnerMedia pay the NHL $225 million a year and AEW does a lot better ratings than them, they can easily give AEW a big raise from their current 50-60 million a year, and it will still be a better deal than what they are paying for the hockey.

This is exactly what you wanna hear. WBD being eager to keep them is phenomenal news if true.

But I could imagine an AEW fan thats not online a lot would be disappointed.

Pretty sure it was either Zarian or Alvarez or maybe multiple people who pointed out that for something like hockey that even if AEW beats them in the ratings, the ad revenue they get more than makes up for it. AEW will absolutely get a huge boost in money mind you (see how the new regime at WBD uses AEW to promote other brands)
