Chris Jericho recently did an interview with The Takedown, where he discussed a wide range of topics.
During the interview, the AEW star discussed AEW’s deal with WBD and how its weekly TV shows air across TBS, TNT, and MAX.
“Well, it’s kind of the way, the way of the future,” Jericho said. “I think cable television as a whole will pretty much go away at some point, because there is so much emphasis on streaming. Just the quality of the picture, the fact you can watch it whenever you want to. All of those things are such a positive. So even though we have such a great relationship with Warner Brothers and TNT and TBS, I think it’s very important that we were able to move on to Max.”
“The whole business is based on television revenue nowadays. Before it was pay-per-view and it was live attendance, and it was all that sort of thing, and now it solely rests on the television deal you can get. We’ve had ups and downs as far as ratings and demos go, but we still always do really, really well on cable. If we’re not number one or two, we’re in the top five, and at the very least the top 10, and that’s out of 1000s of shows.
