Wrestling - Former AEW champion Kenny Omega is 'open to joining WWE when his contract expires', with the popular wrestler full of praise for Triple H and the rival promotion 'willing to do business' - March 2023

Profiles

Wrestling Sports Entertainment Pop Culture Media


Omega has been with AEW since 2019 when the promotion launched

He is a former world champion and currently one third of the trios champions

A move would be a huge move for WWE as they go up against their key rivals 


All Elite Wrestling star Kenny Omega is open to joining WWE, according to reports.

The former AEW world champion is set to see his contract with the company expire soon.

Reports suggest his deal was due to be up in January, but due to missing several months through injury, it has seemingly been extended until November.

There have been several suggestions that a deal could be done between WWE and Omega, 39, though a potential agreement is still a way away.

According to Wade Keller of PWTorch, the current AEW trios champion would be open to doing business when his deal with AEW is up.

'I haven't independently verified rumours of WWE being interested in Omega, I have confirmed they're aware of Omega's open-mindedness to come to WWE', Keller said.

'That's what I've been told, that he's open-minded to landing in WWE before his career is over. The attitude is not "I love AEW, I'm gonna stay here forever". 

'That is not apparently the belief within WWE. They don't believe that's Kenny's mindset at this point.'

Omega signed with AEW in February 2019, a month after the promotion launched, and is an executive vice president of the company alongside team-mates The Young Bucks.

One of the company's most popular wrestlers, Omega has also featured for New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Ring of Honor among other promotions throughout his career.

In December 2020 he became AEW world champion and held the belt until November 2021.

In 2021, he said on current head of WWE creative Triple H: 'I think HHH is still being one of the boys for the better part of his career. 

'I’m sure a big part of how he runs his business, WWE, NXT and all those things he has a finger in, I really do think he does it for the sake of fans as well.'

If he were to join WWE, it's likely his team-mates The Young Bucks would also move with him. 

Cody Rhodes, who is also a former executive vice president of AEW, made the move to WWE last year.

Here’s how every social media company is adopting subscriptions (TechCrunch)

For the longest time, social media companies have relied on the fact that their service is “free” to use. All these companies banked on showing ads and getting some user data in return to let them use social networks without any charge. Now with declining revenues and tough global economic conditions, social networks are resorting to offering subscriptions in one way or another. These paid plans can unlock features ranging from vanity checkmarks to exclusive stickers to increase reach and more.

TechCrunch's Ivan with an excellent feature article on online based subscriptions. Numerous valid points. The world's financial markets and most companies/firms and people looking more closely at their budget and spend resulted in quite the perfect storm.. Decades ago I heard an example based on tech/software giant, Microsoft (which these days has a stake in LinkedIn) - the "cocaine model" i.e: if you want the really good stuff you have to pay! Get it! There can be free subscriptions as well as paid subscriptions. Then there's licenses - be it 1, 2, 3 or lifetime deals, and so it goes on. Streaming entertainment has also adopted some of the principles, be it Binge, Netflix or YouTube (with or without ads), and so it goes on. Games: X-Box and/or PlayStation did and I understand still are doing some subscription based deals. Salesforce, the CRM system has a subscription/license type offering. At this moment we've got a free of charge news service, with selective promos and advertising online, plus we also help promote others goods and services, including press release services, streaming media services, event promotions, MBS, I.T, branded merch for various companies and much more. It's all about sustainable business models.

WWE Perth: Roger Cook aims to make Perth ‘sports capital of Australia’ with pitch to host WrestleMania (The West Australian)





First it was the UFC – now the McGowan Government wants to bring the world-renowned WWE to Perth to cement WA as “the sports capital of Australia”.

The Sunday Times understands the government is considering a pitch to World Wrestling Entertainment to showcase its fighters in Perth in 2024, with Logan Paul topping the list of wrestlers it wants in the ring at Optus Stadium.

World class cover and awesome hype. It's just a massive logistical challenge to host a WrestleMania outside the U.S, as much as I love the idea on a personal basis - currently being based in Sydney. Every year the WWE gets numerous enquiries and pitches from cities and counties to host the most prestigious pro wrestling aka sports entertainment show in the world. I love the spirit of the Western Australia government on this, following on from the mega success of UFC 284 in Perth. Just maybe in 3 to 5 years it may be a moderate chance. WWE continues to go global - so, never say never I'm saying. We Tweeted and buzzed this so it's likely WWE' Nick Khan, Triple H and the management powers that be noticed the buzz and firestarter news media by now. Good luck and good hunting. WrestleMania Season is alive and well. Cody Rhodes for the win over Roman Reignsand Rhea Ripley over Charlotte Flair at 'WrestleMania Goes Hollywood' aka WrestleMania 39 in California, USA. WWE is open for business - call them, if you haven't already sport. Wrestling with media!

WWE Perth: All the spandex-lovin’ reactions ahead of Optus Stadium’s potential 2024 event - 19th Feb 2023

By Caleb Runciman and Kellie Balaam



If double-legs and RKOs aren’t your thing, it might be best to vacate the State if Perth secures a WWE event.

As revealed by The Sunday Times, the McGowan Government plans to make Perth “the sports capital of Australia” — motivated by the recent visit of WWE athlete Logan Paul.

Considering a pitch to the World Wrestling Entertainment for a 2024 event at Optus Stadium, minister Roger Cooke said “we all saw how the phenomenal success of the UFC transformed the city last weekend and sold Perth to a global audience”.

“How good was it to have Logan Paul as well doing a quokka selfie for his millions of followers, then talking up how great Perth is on his popular podcast?

“I would love to see Logan back here next year in action with the WWE leaping off the top rope at Optus Stadium in front of tens of thousands of fans,” Mr Cooke said.

Blurring the line between sport and entertainment — WWE is different from the spectacle that was UFC 284 at RAC Arena.

Founded in 1953 under the name Capitol Wrestling Corporation (CWC) by Jess McMahon and Vincent J. McMahon, the franchise has grown to astronomical heights — valued at roughly USD $6.5B.

From its early days as the CWC to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1980, transitioning to the now-successful World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002, the organisation is recognised as the largest professional promotion in the world.

Can Optus Stadium handle the WWE and its craziness?

For opposition leader Libby Mettam, an event like the WWE would be “certainly welcomed” in Perth.

“I look forward to hearing what progress the Minister for Tourism can make in ensuring we get more events such as this into WA to support our small business sector.”

“It’s vitally important that the government back this up by ensuring our small business operators, our city of Perth is well supported to be able to showcase such events,” she said.

Perth punters showed mixed messages towards a proposed WWE event, with many West Aussies making their thoughts clear on pro-wrestling making a WA appearance.

Kicking off a spandex-lovin’ storm on social media, one WWE critic said: “what a ghastly prospect.”

“Not a publicity stunt?” one member of the public asked.

With a display of wrestling athleticism on the cards, many Aussie fans said the visitation would be worthwhile.

“Australia loves us some WWE,” said one social media user.

With a growing pro-wrestling community in WA, local club EPW School of Pro Wrestling director Peter Clark said the 2024 event would be a “fantastic” addition to Australia.

“People suspend their disbelief and draw themselves in... no one does it better than the WWE,” he said.

“There are fireworks, action, and emotional stories, what more could you want?

“It would be fantastic for the wrestling community, people would travel from all around the country.”

With Perth-based athletes Mikey Nichols and Shane Haste kick-starting their WWE careers at EPW, Perth’s “underground” community is expected to show up in full force if the Optus event goes ahead.

On Sunday, a colossal clash at the WWE’s Elimination chamber kicked off in Canada, where athlete Roman Reigns defeated Sami Zayn, paving way for Kevin Owens’ post-match return.

Mass media refers to a diverse array of media that reach a large audience via mass communication.

Broadcast media transmit information electronically via media such as films, radio, recorded music, or television. Digital media comprises both Internet and mobile mass communication. Internet media comprise such services as email, social media sites, websites, and Internet-based radio and television.

Many other mass media outlets have an additional presence on the web, by such means as linking to or running TV ads online, or distributing QR codes in outdoor or print media to direct mobile users to a website. In this way, they can use the easy accessibility and outreach capabilities the Internet affords, as thereby easily broadcast information throughout many different regions of the world simultaneously and cost-efficiently. 

Outdoor media transmit information via such media as AR advertising; billboards; blimps; flying billboards (signs in tow of airplanes); placards or kiosks placed inside and outside buses, commercial buildings, shops, sports stadiums, subway cars, or trains; signs; or skywriting. 

Print media transmit information via physical objects, such as books, comics, magazines, newspapers, or pamphlets. Event organising and public speaking can also be considered forms of mass media.
