>>16026960To be honest yeah I myself could boost rating by at least 50k - 100k and attendance by at least 1000 people per show if Tony hired me because I would simply do this magical thing known as advertising and merchandising. The networks would run commercials advertising upcoming shows, I'd create a dedicated segment taking up 90 seconds of both Dynamite and Collison dedicated entirely to advertising and listing upcoming dates, and not just some off screen graphic with Excalibur being an auctioneer, full screen full attention. Do this magical thing called running Billboards in upcoming event towns a few weeks out, buy radio spots on both local radios and SiriusXM, particularly Busted Open Radio which has dedicate pro wrestling shows and Thunder Rosa works there.
Also every AEW show has a genuinely pathetic amount of merch both in quantity and variety because of their partnership with ProWrestlingTees, this is easily fixable and could add thousands of dollars in pure revenue to every event because a single shirt costs $5 at the most to manufacture when you bulk order and you can sell them for $30 - $40 a piece easy at a live event. I've seen many indie shows and concerts with better merchandise than AEW does.
