>>14904468Terrible take that makes little sense in the proper context. It's like saying baseball players "come from high school" with only a few hundred people in the crowd, therefore, nobody should make fun of the Oakland A's pitiful attendance numbers
The idea is that as you make your way up, crowds get much larger, not stay the same size. Tony isn't poaching ex-WWE guys who have experience working in front of 60,000+ fans just so they can work in 3500-seat arenas. AEW is renting these 18,000 seat arenas because the plan is, eventually, to fill them. But because the AEW product is so stridently anti-casual, that hasn't been happening.
It's no wonder guys like Miro would rather sit at home and pretend to be injured instead of do jobs. It's one thing to do a 17 minute job to Swerve in front of 12,000 fans - it's another to do it on Collision in front of 1,900 fans at the Northwest Iowa State Fairgrounds.
