>>10033575Georgia was WCW's home base, and the massive attendance was for an episode of Nitro. They weren't running a market with fans but that they had never been to. Of course that would give a bump.
That being said, WCW was culturally relevant. AEW isn't. Normies knew Hollywood Hogan, Nash, Hall, the nWo, Goldberg, Sting, DDP. Nitro regularly drew over a 4 in its heyday, and even drew 5+ on multiple occasions. Dynamite struggles to hit a 0.5, and their all-time record is 0.68, from way back in October 2019.
To compare AEW to WCW, is insanity.
