Tony Khan may get another wrestling show on the air sooner than later, but not necessarily for AEW. In this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that “negotiations are close”…
A year and a half ago before WWE was talking to CW, before NWA was talking to CW, I remember Tony Khan saying he turned down CWs offer to put ROH on the air.
Kind of seems to me that through a series of blundering and baffling mistakes from Tony Khan, and Billy Corgan, somehow CW went from wanting any pro wrestling to somehow stumbling into getting the biggest wrestling promotions C/developmental brand. This after ALMOST getting stuck with the NWA. I mean, can you imagine???
No, seriously. Go look at NWAs website. It’s a glorified indy with historical letters, and it almost got a TV deal that was similiar in reach to Smackdowns first tv deal on UPN in 1999.
