Just a fun fact someone noticed that I wanted to share.

Months ago (and by that I guess I mean 13 of em lol) EC3 opened his own post-CYN promotion, Exodus Pro Wrestling (https://www.exoprowrestling.com/). Over the last 13 months its become an NWA territory, going under the name NWA Exodus Pro Midwest.

The listed owner is literally Dixie Carter lmao

Well, does Russo work there too? Because that certainly would make the whole CYN thing make more sense.

Although it wouldn’t surprise me if she was funding something like this, big money needs failing ventures for tax breaks.

Why is it an announcers desk when they are sitting at it, but an announcers table when they go through it?

*Khan was asked about the current status of the company’s media rights. He said it’s a real exciting time and they are having great conversations. Some reports have been accurate about the status of the deal between WBD-AEW being productive and they are still in discussions. He said he feels fortunate that TBS and TNTs still have a great appetite towards keeping AEW. He said they are the best media partner you can have. TBS and TNT give immediate credibility. There’s a history that goes back to the early 1970s. They are still in the process - a long, tedious process - of an agreement. To do an agreement for all the events and things they are working on is a really big deal. There are some great things to come and there’s excitement on each side and jt’s great to have that sort of mutual collaboration. There’s been a lot of really good conversations about streaming. Obviously, they own and operate MAX. He said “this is going to work out really well for AEW and their fans.”

From PWInsider’s coverage of the ALL OUT Media call. Clearly seems to be teasing putting stuff on MAX, but I bet it’s going to be on MAX’s more costly sports tier that’s supposed to be coming. I really hate this all in one basket strategy though, WBD is in deep trouble financially, if I were guessing which “Legacy Media” company would go out of business first, I’m looking at them. Also I am still slightly concerned over this extended negotiation term, it’s just so weird when every other sport negotiates a year ahead of time, even WWE had deals in place at the start of this year.

Yeah I don’t wanna say things are ‘fishy’ but the way it’s been going down is definitely abnormal.

But has WBD been goddamned anything but abnormal these last few years? Shit. WBD surviving this late into 2024 I think is only due to how deep their pockets were to begin with, otherwise with how whatshistits has cannibalized them I’d have expected em to have bled out already.

Just think of WBD as the TNA of Media Conglomerates, then it all makes sense.

Create post

This is the “official” Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.

Rules: (Click to expand)

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it’s there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It’s ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, ‘creep shot’, or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo’s wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren’t.

6. Banned Source(s).

Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:

  • WrestleVotes
  • RingSideNews
  • Brad Shepard
