AEW star Brody King spoke with WrestleMobs on a number of topics, including the company’s new TV rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery.
King said, “It’s very validating. It’s very awesome because, you know, like you said, the first half of this year, or first three quarters of this year, you just hear of people saying, ‘AEW’s going to die, ‘you’re never getting a TV deal, blah blah blah,’ and it’s hard not to read those things. It’s like even if, you know, you have all of the facts in front of you being like, ‘No, this is not true,’ either. We can’t speak on it or we don’t know it to be a fact yet, and then once that comes out, it’s like, ‘Well, there it is.’”
His thoughts on TV ratings:
“I don’t have cable TV. I don’t think a lot of my friends have cable TV and they have all said, ‘Well, it’s going to be so much easier to watch now.’ I don’t know how that factors into the ratings or whatever, but obviously, the f***ing ratings aren’t the end-all, be-all.”
