>>13810810>losing $34 million a yearAnd that's a low estimate. Okada alone costs 10x the number used for the $34M calculation; add in Mercedes and Ospreay, and it's up to about 25. Do you remember AEW losing 25 wrestlers in the last month or so? Bunny, Sonny, Pillman, Andrade are a few in the last 6 months. Who else? How are they balancing adding another $10M/year to payroll?
The AEW defense force won't bother explaining any of this stuff - they'll just immediately go on the attack. But there's a reason they hide out on 4chan like fucking cowards instead of taking their gay act to Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, literally anywhere else where they would be ratioed and humiliated into locking their account.
AEW is a dumpster fan, primarily because of Tony Khan's mismanagement and misreading of the professional wrestling landscape, but solidly #2 is because the AEW fanbase is just absolute dogshit - thin-skinned sperglords with no understanding of how to proselytize and lay the groundwork for non-WWE wrestling. They go 0-100 on anyone who doesn't immediately accept Tony Khan as lord and savior. It's a losing formula - always has been, always will be.
