That's about one wrestler per 1,870 fans if we operate off of Rampage viewership.

Collecting toys. This entire thing is a video game and wrestling playset to him. He doesn't see it as a business nor does he care about drawing money.

WWE releases around 10% of its superstars every quarter (for the last 2 years)

AEW signs 15% of its roster size in wrestlers every quarter (trend of the last year) +/- 5%

by this we can calculate:
2022:
>aew: 177
>wwe: 98
2023:
>aew: 216
>wwe: 78
2024:
>aew: 247
>wwe:61
2025:
>aew: 278
>wwe: 48
2026:
>aew: 332
>wwe: 32
2027 (5 years from now)
>aew: 402
>wwe: 21

how is that sustainable on either end? a roster of 402 would be impossible to split time between unless aew has like 8 shows a week. and wtf is wwe gonna do? theyve been releasing people left and right so its probable theyd have barely 30 people in a few years. what would the brand split be like? raw 15, smackdown 5, nxt 5 people???

145 by my count. It's probably more if you count broadcast guys like Mark Henry and Excalibur.

WWE are taking in projects at a similar rate of how many they cut, they have that new NIL program that brings in college athletes every season to help replenish their lost numbers. The effectiveness of the PC is a problem in how many will get retained but they're not in danger of running out of warm bodies to throw into a ring.
AEW though, you have to do something deplorable like upset Twitter really badly for Tony to end a contract early. The mass releases were a poison pill that they swallowed up gleefully

Being the retard he is. AEW could cut half of its roster, and would be better off for it by a country mile
>>6132874
To be fair, I think those signed do not have ezclusivity deals like they did in wwe, so that's something.
