General AEW Thread

It's honestly really weird to even analyze the two big companies and even like TNA bc of the sheer ratio of their revenue being predominantly the TV deal. Ratings are key to that obviously but when you have 3 years it's hard to necessarily care about the right now (and again don't hot shot, save that for year 3 if needed)

And on those last WWE financials we saw how little of their revenue slice their record live events even were so a down attendance isn't really hurting business either, so you kinda have to make yourself care where back in the day you couldn't even try and ignore it bc low houses meant you couldn't run shows and pay talent. I'd wager maybe they should do smaller, unique venues so the look can be a positive instead of the same boring venues with less full crowds. Kinda like the Arlington shows but with a cooler venue lol Hammerstein for that Collision is a good start

Even AEWs PPVs are probably such a minor revenue stream compared to the new TV deal and that's with them getting a crazy good split. Right now they can afford to be insanely complacent and a lot of people probably would, but Moxley seems determined not to let that happen
