I have no idea what the man's opinions are tbh I was just saying there's a dude on AEW doing a "back in my day" gimmick

Lol, here's some fun math: Cornette earned 150k in 1990 when he didn't want to sign back with WCW, which today is little over 300k. Cornette would also talk about the Omni in Atlanta selling out all the time, which at the time in 1984, would have been about 15,522 for attendance. In 1984 that would have been a gate of $107,393, and in 2021 that would be $281,655.54. Imagine getting a gate like that consistently semi-weekly, tbf.

Like all the damn 3 pointers in basketball

 

[Barry Poppins]

Yes, I did all that math myself.

 

[Comrade Khan]

Like all the damn 3 pointers in basketball

or everyone striking out in baseball

 

[Barry Poppins]

I don't know why, just thought it would be a fun exercise.

 

[Chris]

or everyone striking out in baseball

Yeah home run or bust ball is so boring

 

[Hoss]

Why don't you go actually take a walk in the park or something you need

 

[Comrade Khan]

Yeah home run or bust ball is so boring

that + the change up or wtv is the fucking worst. baseball was already fucking boring lol

 

[Barry Poppins]

Even then, that math might be off because I used the average price of a ticket in 1992, which was $6.50 for the Omni and backtracked it to 1984. So the price might actually be even more by comparison.

 

[Comrade Khan]

might also need to account for Ticketmaster taking a bigger cut of ticketsales wit htheir fees etc

 

[Comrade Khan]

but that might be difficult lol

 

[Hoss]

As well as useless

 

[Barry Poppins]

Okay so actually the total would be down.
