>>19521989Why do you think that something being good means it will have more fans? Do you not understand that wrestling used to be a lot more popular back in the day and those fans stuck with WWE over the years and that the fanbase has absolutely zero relation to the quality, good or bad, of WWE today?
>>19521977>Smackdown demonstrates that around 1 million people watch wrestling on cable in the United StatesAnd what did it used to be at, anon? Double that? Triple that? Isn't that colossal ratings decline? Is WWE failing?

>AEW's average ticket sales per event have declined from 5,812 in 2023, to 4,259 in 2024, to 3,165 in 2025They run more events now, genius. And why start at 2023? Do you have any idea how stupid that argument is? You think anyone can't extrapolate a similar decline curve out from WWE events too? They can.
