TNT President Kevin Reilly on the Network’s New Television Deal with AEW
During the recent Television Critics Association winter press tour, Variety held an interview with TNT President Kevin Reilly and one of the topics discussed included the reason for TNT’s decision to do a newly revised television deal with All Elite Wrestling.
“I just had this idea that this was the time to invest. This is a startup. It’s already over-delivered out of the gate. That’s really when you want to hit the gasoline a little bit. The guys already have ideas about additional talent and things they want to do and I wanted to incentivize them as a partner to do that. We also wanted to gave fans and talent who potentially want to come work with us the sense that this is here to stay. You can invest in it, it’s here to stay, and it’s only going to get better.”
