99% surely the joke was that AEW is worth an unimaginable amount more than anything their harshest critic has ever been involved in. You’d be surprised at how little Jim Cornette ever enters my mind. People should try it. No, I took it as “They should buy SMW and keep the $169.9 million instead”. Yeah that does sound like a more peaceful way to live your life. SMW’s what made him pop into my head just now.

Such a pity that Variety broke this news right as AEW is dying. I mean of the two Max is more likely to die >_> Also now they don't have to rename 2 of their more important 765 titles

I look forward to hearing Meltzer/Alvarez trying to decipher how much money this deal is actually worth tomorrow. Here’s how the show will open. Bryan: So what’s the latest on this TV deal? Dave: You tell me. Bryan: Well, it’s official that— Dave: *talks for ten minutes*

Well that's huge if true then, and it'd also mean Swerve meant FOX and not an affiliate in that video.

It also means that's one more hurdle cleared to get DARK back if the exclusivity only is contained to cable, DARK could return to Youtube
Hopefully this means ROH can also go somewhere else.

Any news or discussion as to what this means for AEW airing in Canada?

My overwhelming feeling is, I'm just glad it's done.
Whatever the financial packages or rights deals or any of that jazz, it keeps it on tv for years to come. And that's nothing but a big plus.

I never did understand how that works. How they ban AEW from making their own supplemental stuff from YouTube and now block them from having any other show on cable?

I'm really happy for AEW, Tony and everyone in the company, but I'm mainly happy for me that AEW isn't going anywhere

I get wanting them to be network exclusive. Didn't really get why WBD cared about Dark on youtube tbh Dark went down around when Collision stuff was being ironed out, so I imagine that they wanted the effort AEW was putting into producing those hours on their network instead. And in fairness, they did pay AEW for that, and probably got more for the exclusivity than Dark was pulling in ad revenue by the end. It wasnt' necessarily about Youtube rights itself, but more about the idea that AEW could be producing another show for them instead of putting stuff onto Youtube.

Young Bucks updated their twitter bio to both celebrate and gloat. It’s wonderful

Just playing some catch up as I didn't see all of Dynamite last night, was this announced on the show?
Is the new show officially announced or still speculation at this point?

Yeah, the comms team announced it/brought it up. There wasn't any big TK comes to the ring thing. Other show is still speculation currently. But seems strong speculation so far
