Their lead over AEW is around $1.4B-1.5B/year so riddle me this, if WWE only ever hit $1.4 billion for the first time in 2024, then how could their lead NOT be the biggest in history?
>unless you want to somehow try and prove that NWA or whatever japanese company was moving $185 million dollars in t-shirts and VHS tapes a yearYou're a massive retard if your line in the sand for declaring #2 status is exactly $185,000,000. You're not a serious person, you're just a dicksucker and liar, and a bad liar at that.

There's plenty of qualifiers you can attach to being #2, but to argue that a #2 simply didn't exist for 15 years (because the magic $185M number wasn't reached) makes you fucking retarded as shit.
>>19681080Early 2000s, WWE was only making $400M or so in yearly revenue. It's a big amount, but just like now, they were routinely losing wrestlers to TNA because they were unwilling (not unable) to pay mid-carders TNA main event money. But if TNA were only offering TNA midcard money, then clearly the WWE money would have been better.
I'm sorry the truth hurts so many people, but the numbers are the numbers, with the threat of perjury and criminal charges for the WWE side, and just one retarded shithead boomer (with free license to lie) in San Jose on the other side.
