AEW obviously doesn't have that because they are so young

I’d rather be number 2 and do a 5 then be be and do a 3.5. And be number two and do 500K for SuperBrawl. Man, business was so good for early 1999 WCW. Just let Vince wear himself out. WWF got stale only 3 years after WCW killed itself. Play the long game.

 

[Comrade Khan]

there's no nostalgia yet

it's a marathon not a race, for sure

 

[Comrade Khan]

and strive to be better than you were yesterday, don't worry about the competition so much

 

[CakeWalker]

but also a sprint lol

 

[CakeWalker]

coz money waits for no man or woman

 

[Comrade Khan]

its a sprint out of the gates

The world had non idea how good they had it with 2008 TNA. Thought 1 million weekly viewers wasn’t enough. Turns out that was the peak for wwe competition. They’d never hit those numbers again and AEW can occasionally, but not weekly.

 

[Comrade Khan]

but then you gotta stabilize . on a side note tho theres a lot of reasons why aew cooled off, some of it is self inflicted, some is not. it's a lot harder for them to be the rebel brand now that WWE isn't shitting the bed, for example

yeah in 3-5 years WWE will be getting barely a million for SD and raw I bet

 

[Comrade Khan]

just the way tv is going atm, WWE peaked this year and with them going off FOX, it is always never gonna hit 2 mil again outside a mega special imo

AEW needs units...

 

[Smart Marx]

Once SmackDown hits USA it’ll lower for sure and raw might tank depending where it goes.

AEW basically does. Just doesn’t do the best job updating them on their roster page. Should be a unit section, though.
