Big WWE Fan here and I won’t lie, these are slightly disappointing numbers. But you have to realize that we’re still dealing with the Biden economy, inflation is insane, and prices are out of control.
This will still outdraw Small In but I think it’s going to be another year until we see a “true” preview of what WWE can do under a strong, Republican economy.

>>20826411
Punk ain't a top guy
>>
How come turnstile counts never get released for WWE shows? Is it because 10% or tickets allocated end up on the second hand market and there's no demand?
>>
>>20827077
In what world? Even in your deluded, AEW-addicted brain…. He had his own show. He had multiple title wins. So… are you telling me that the “great” Tony Khan did all that for someone who wasn’t a draw?!? The great and mighty Tony Khan was… wrong?!?

Fuck you. Sincerely. Fuck everyone who is acting like Punk has ANYTHING doing with damn economy problem. Soft ticket sales? That is a problem cause by the fucking Biden shit.

This keeps happening. Reminder that Phil returning to AEW didn't result in an attendance boom, or a ratings boom.

Goodness gracious me

Ticket prices are too high. WWE ran a 25% off sale recently for July dates and SummerSlam
>>
>>20826411
Worrying, to be quite honest
>>
>>20826411
Its because there are not enough women and blax in the show. They need more then they would get more ticket sales.

The problem with late stage Phil headlining PLE’s is that he can’t do what he does best (and what fans actually still enjoy about him), which is be on mic cutting promos.

PLE’s, classically, are about “no more talk, let’s settle it in the ring,” which means all Phil does at PLE’s is wrestle, which is what he does worst, at this stage of his career (“worst” at least from an entertainment standpoint).

In short, if I’m a fan thinking of buying a WWE ticket where Punk is advertised, I’m more likely to buy a random Smackdown ticket than a PLE ticket because I at least know Punk will be on mic at the Smackdown show, which is mainly why I want to see Punk.

I’m not interested in watching 48yr old Phil do chops, hip tosses, and yay-boo punches for 30 minutes. Same as Gunther, honestly.
>>
>>20834789
It has nothing to do with Punk. You waste your energy with this PDS shit. The fans lost trust and the tickets cost too much. That's it. It's not any individual pushes of wrestlers or anything like that
>>
>>20834789
Punk has the american moty tho
>>
>>20834752
Always
>>
>>20826411
Why can't these jews lower the prices, get more people in and make even more money with a better looking show?
>>
Selling out to TKO did major damage to the brand. It's no longer a family run business, people aren't going to pay these prices without knowing the card.
>>
>>20834826
and Forever
>>
>>20834828
Thats what Vince did
>>
>>20826411
The product is stale and the tickets are massively over priced.
That being said, they'll end up drawing 55-60k paying customers, sell a shit ton of merch and make millions of dollars in ad revenue.
All of this sucks for us normal fans but, the corporate pigs at the top who count it all up will be more than satisfied with it.
>>
>>20836663
They just had to slash ticket prices and get basketball men to persuade people to buy them
>>
>>20839685
oh that will work
>>
>>20834822
lol. lmao
>>
>>20826411
The air in Minnesota is bad, that's why the tickets aren't selling
>>
>>20826411
Luckily you can go to Sloppaslam for free if tou buy 1 large drink/coffee
>>
>>20834789
If he was such a good promo, he'd be able to sell PPV tickets.
>>
>>20834805
why did 2,000 buyers return their tickets after Phil was announced as the main both for Wrestlemania and now Summerslam?
>>
>>20834805
Real stars would add seats. That's why vince used legends like goldberg so much. Punk didn't add viewers for aew either.
>>
>>20826411
what went wrong?
>>
World Cup proved that stadiums can draw even while gouging
>>
>>20826411
All of the above
>>
>>20826411
why cant wwe draw any more? serious question
i think it's a "cool favtor" issue
>>
>>20845380
Lack of new stars
The same main events over and over

>the biggest sporting event in the world is draw
eye opening stuff
>>
>>20842236
we are trying to figure this out but the science just isn't there yet
>>
>>20844294
World Cup happens once every 4 years. The scarcity and novelty are half the draw. Same as the Olympics.
>>
>>20845380
Literally been Cody, Roman, Phil, Seth since 2024. And they haven't bothered to make anyone for most of that time. None of these guys in particular have changed their characters even slightly. It's the same shit. So guys like Roman and Seth have basically done the same shit since like 2020.
>>
>>20848164
yeah if the World Cup ran every year it would not do the attendances it does.
