We\u2019ve put together hundreds of hours of great footage and had the ability to produce so much great content on a weekly basis, in addition to what\u2019s on TNT and TBS every Wednesday and every Friday.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So the world of wrestling and streaming, it\u2019s very exciting,\u201d Khan said. \u201cOur competitor has done big stuff in this space, and there\u2019s definitely a big revenue stream for the company. Most importantly of all, there&#8217;s a big opportunity for the wrestling fans who want this content. It\u2019s something I see people calling for every day. Literally, I\u2019m not exaggerating. Every single day I get messages from fans calling for that exact streaming service with a library of past events and\/or future events.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tony Khan not only possesses the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\">AEW<\/a> library to offer potential streaming providers, but he owns the Ring of Honor library as well. Khan purchased ROH in early March, but has yet to announce official plans for the brand or the years of content that come along with it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/05\/25\/wardlow-says-his-character-is-a-mixture-of-james-bond-ric-flair-and-john-wick\/\">Wardlow says his character is a mixture of James Bond, Ric Flair, and John Wick<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1112868964\"><div id=\"pwtor-3540967786\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Tony Khan says that due to the WarnerMedia and Discovery merger, there is a lot of potential to grow their business with streaming.
