>>11327210AEW will never break even, let alone make a profit, it's not a financially viable business at all
the only reason it exists is because it's financed by the owner's billionaire's father, and put on the air by the billionaire's influence with the network, and because offering wrestlers double of what they're worth and because they're paying more for arenas than the gate, I could go on and on
Tony treats AEW like his own fantasy booking, Wembley was literally him thinking "wouldn't it be so cool if we held a show in Wembley???" and then just waved a blank check and made it happen
