>>16104129This is the middle part of the bell curve, the issue is more sophisticated than this and too much for this board. Wrestling is centered around the crowd that watches it, if your wrestlers are more charismatic, then your show is more fun and you make more money at the same time. Money isn't 1:1 with skills but think about who are the best. Cena, Taker, Angle, Rock. All these guys have earned shit ton of money. Wheeler Yuta is not entertaining, so the show is worse when he is pushed and AEW sinks into irrelevance. There are wrestlers who could've been more than they were and pushes matter too, but generally bucks earned are a reliable metric of a wrestler's skill.
In contrast movies are not dependent on the crowd reactions, they just present themselves directly to you, and can be enjoyed all alone. So box office is not a reliable metric of quality and critics were always bought out so they aren't either.
