No Collison ratings this week?!

AEW Collision, Sep 28 on TNT: 435,000 viewers; 0.13 P18-49 rating

Ranked 3rd on cable

Ah, strong numbers. No wonder I didn't see them.

Tony to Zaslav if anything last minute comes up: "Bust a deal? FACE THE WHEEL."

Hope it's a good deal for em. No matter if its AEW, WWE, I just want wrestling doing well.

The report was like 5 years, 170 Mil a year if it sticks, no exclusivity which means they will also get unannounced cashflow from other potential ventures like Shockwave on FOX or FS1 and maybe ROH

Rubbing my hands together like Birdman for the anti-AEW/E-drone/grifting podcaster contingent worldwide tomorrow to begin engaging in legendary goalpost moving while also crying endless amounts of salt and tears.

Wasn't it three years with an option for a fourth?

2 months lefts until Rampage is gone

The advantage of having the Fox deal is that in event of the very unlikely scenario the goalpost movers are trying to frighten us with, Aew getting cancelled if they don't live up to WBD's expectation, they've got a foot in the door on another network to which they can potentially move.

More platforms mean greater reach

And no exclusivity means potentially the return of DARK AND ELEVATION WOOOOO YEAH BABY

[06vwgti]

I hope this new show on a Fox or FS1 continues either the stuff from Dark/Elevation to the wonkiness of RAMPAGE!

I love me some lower card wrestling shows

I don't understand people celebrating the death of Rampage and being excited for a new show that will essentially be Rampage and having more shows like Dark which was less than rampage.

So with Rampage, it started off as important but became an after thought even before Collision. This is no real different than Superstars being overtaken by Main Event, they just need to keep the expectation of importance going where as AEW, it fell off after threw months, if that.

It's not really clear if Shockwave would be just like Rampage, it's gonna be on FOX or FS1, ideally, they put good stuff on this show

But then again, Rampage was great for what it was, a fun hour of wrestling with good matches, it fulfilled a need for AEW and its midcard. I hope DARK comes back so it can do the same, say what you want about DARK, that was the ONLY way some fans were legally able to keep up with AEW, it had a purpose.

Honestly Dark and Elevation helped give a lot of exposure to wrestler or ideas , that gave some hype to the core of aew and bleed to its other shows.

It was legit good for the health of the company,money wise of course its better to have a tv show which a company pays for, but for the product it added more than Rampage
