Brody King on Why AEW’s New TV Rights Deal Feels Validating

– During a recent interview with WrestleMobs, AEW star Brody King discussed AEW’s new media TV rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Brody King on AEW’s new TV deal: “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**king ratings aren’t the end-all, be-all.”
