>>13950312>cable declinePeople are cord-cutting in the middle of AEW's broadcast?
>"Hi, yes, Comcast? Yeah, I can't take this horse shit any more. Just cancel everything. All of it">"Where do I send this fuckin cable box back to?">If you were open to discussing it you would acknowledge that cable numbers are affected by cable decline, and that AEW's attendance has seen no significant movement up or down on average.I am literally the only one I ever see who posts
cagematch.net links for shows, which generally include reported attendance.

3 dates during roughly the same week of the year, down about 20% over the average.
Different markets, of course. Small sample size? Probably. I don't have a script to scrape this info. You can make every cope in the world, pretend to be someone you're not, makes no nevermind. I don't think you even know what you're arguing at this point, you're just trying to piss me off.
I shouldn't have to repeat myself because you do this faggot act, responding to things I'm not saying, ignoring what I am actually saying:
>AEW's payroll is going up MUCH HIGHER than the rate of inflation, and the increased star-power is not translating ratings that can outpace the rate of cord-cutting. If you aren't doing that, then what exactly is the point raising payroll so high?Tony is not spending tens of millions of extra dollars on payroll only to throw up his arms and say 'heh heh, decline of cable, what can ya do' -- only a stupid bitch would believe that. Tony is signing these extra acts to try to stem the tide, to STOP the ratings from decreasing at the rate they are, to get OUT IN FRONT OF the rate of cord-cutting
THAT is how shows command a premium rate, it's not because they're #1-3 within a certain contrived parameter
