No Patrick, AEW is not "dying"
who says
>>16749571Squidward
>>16749553you think squidward ever sucks on that thang
No, Patrick, Smackdown is not cancelled and Vince is not going to prison
Creatively it is.
>>16749968Financially too
>>16749972>financiallyNo not this one, it has access to funds from a family with 4 times more wealth than the McMahons
>>16750004And yet it still can’t pull a profit
>>16749553Socially and culturally it is.
>>16750004>an American company draining the wealth of an entire sandnigger clanBased AEW.
>>16750010The only real profits for either fed come from TV/Streaming deals now. Attendance and T-shirt sales don't matter anymore. They're all getting paid. The only question is: how much?
>>16750004>Hey shad we have to start selling assets to keep your sons wrestling company afloat
>>16750358>attendance doesn't matterYeah it does. If you have a 10k seat arena you lease for 180k a night and sell 1500 tickets you lose money. The fact that AEW is now shifting to smaller arenas tells you everything you need to know about the fantasy of bottomless pockets and that attendance doesn't matter.
>>16750413Eh you're both right. Small attendance can be made up for with much more lucrative merch sales and TV deals. But it also indicates there is not much of a fanbase to buy that merch, especially when the merch in question sucks fucking ass, is outdated or outright pulled from the store.I just feel sorry for Shahid Khan. Doesn't he have another son or at least a daughter he can bequeath his wealth to?
>>16749553It isn't growing, thriving, or reproducing. So what else would you call it?
>>16750541Living on borrowed time until the day Shad decides to stop pissing money away so his son can embarrass himself on TV.
