This is why Memeltzer is not a real journalist and has never been taken as one.

it won't, airing 2 live shows per week costs close to $2,000,000. That's already $105M or so per year, payroll is another $100M or more, plus everyone backstage etc

We've seen all of AEW's live production errors, it's likely they're hiring a lot of interns to keep costs lower, but still. Adding a 3rd show to replace Rampage (which got cancelled) won't do much to help matters unless it's a clip/review show, or it's just more filler content on tape delay

They are not the 2nd most profitable wrestling company ever. They are the least profitable wrestling company ever. AEW has lost more money than any other wrestling company in history.

They didn't just get $555 Million added to their bottom line. Those are future earning with no accounting for future costs. Maybe it will make them profitable each year, but until the total is more than they have lost, they are not profitable.

For those in the know, Dave is having this melty because Eric discussed him being a "legit journalist" and not telling anyone where he gets his numbers from. Noting that someone who did own 3% of AEW, would have access to those financials.

Ipso facto: Dave is either lying out his ass or he's part owner of AEW which doesn't make him a credible journalist. It's a lose/lose and Easy E wins again!
