Swerve Strickland – 'You Can Enjoy Both AEW & WWE' + Frankie Kazarian/Ace Romero News
Yesterday at 09:48 PM
Frankie Kazarian believes that TNA management is currently working on securing larger and better distribution deals.
During a recent appearance on the “Stories With Brisco & Bradshaw” podcast, Kazarian discussed TNA Wrestling’s efforts to acquire bigger distribution deals akin to the one they recently signed with Sportsnet 360 in Canada.
Kazarian said, "Talking internally to management, that is the focus; getting distribution and getting on a bigger network. Getting on Sportsnet 360 in Canada when WWE went to Netflix was massive for us. That's the equivalent of ESPN in Canada, which is going to be a lot more eyeballs on our product. If we could get that, we're in the era of streaming, so dare I say a Paramount Plus, something like that."
He continued, "I know management is working tirelessly on doing that for us. With the momentum we have, I would hope by the end of the year we would have a different distribution deal getting more eyes on us."
Ace Romero shared a new photo on social media, announcing that he lost 200 pounds in the past year.
The former TNA wrestler posted on his Instagram to show his body transformation, writing,
"It feels good to be back
200 pounds lost in one year.
#weightlossjourney #fitness"
Romero also posted a video to Twitter denying speculation that he used Ozempic, saying "I've been on the Stairmaster, go f**k yourself."

The endless comparison between AEW and WWE has become a regular trend in the pro wrestling community.
Former TNT Champion Darby Allin previously said WWE is like Taylor Swift, while AEW is like Slayer.
Former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland has his own comparison but explains that fans can enjoy both products.
During a recent appearance on the “Bootleg Kev” podcast, Strickland weighed in on the AEW-WWE comparisons.
He said, It’s almost like you get the big box offices movies and all that stuff over there, but over there you don’t get green screen, you don’t get wires. Can you friggin act? That’s what AEW is. You have to act in order to perform in our films. We’re A24. The performances and acting have to be pristine. You can enjoy both and both are successful. That’s the beauty of it.”
When Kev compared AEW to Kendrick Lamar and WWE to Drake, Strickland replied that AEW would be TDE.
Kev also compared AEW to The Wire and WWE to Chicago Fire.
