>>6678059This is stupid.
>I've been saying it since before AEW even started - you just cannot solely rely on TV contractsYou take away the Saudi Deal and this is where all of WWE's money comes from.
>AEW should have been running house shows all this time. Yes, that made perfect sense when everything was shutdown until mid 2021, and still running with limited seating.
>It would also get the younger talent more in-ring time and it would keep the wrestlers from getting injured due to a lack of working, plus it spreads awareness to people who are not fansA television show is not going to spread awareness to fans more than anything else? What are you talking about?
>AEW also should have been doing more PPV's and doing more to make PPV's bigger. Then if you lose TV, or the contract isn't as good, you can still have another form of revenue. They gave away Punk's return to AEW free and gave away two Blood and Guts matches that would have brought them in several million dollars.They'd lose money if they ran more PPVs. Part of their deal was to have Clash style events.
>They also should have cut back on the new signees a long time ago. They spent tens of millions to sign all these people who haven't done squat for the ratings (and if anything hurt them) and relegated people they already had onto youtube showRegardless, ratings averaged higher year by year. But yes, Tony needs to stop buying new toys.
The rest of the points don't make any sense. It's not 1998. WWE doesn't even run houseshows like that anymore because they kept losing money.
