Cesaro is using an agent to get the best price, and people have opinions.

What an odd post. We use mediators and brokers to get the best price on all sorts of things. Insurance, real estate, lawyers, etc. There might be an argument that if everyone agreed not to use them and negotiated on their own behalf in all cases we'd be better off, but that ain't reality.

I can’t parse out the first sentence and it’s relevance to his argument about the lack of growth.

Is there a mathematical reason as to why AEWs growth is suboptimal inspite of the three factors he listed for growth?

The sad thing is that TJPW could absolutely get a sleepy wrestler over.

Shush the crowd, have a bed brought out by rookies. She wakes up when the bell rings, wrestles sleepy style, and goes back to sleep after the match. Keeps pestering KENTA on social media.

No. The comparison does not make any sense whatsoever. Not sure what an effective wage drop due to inflation has to do with growth after changing to a different network that presumably gets more viewers on average (??? I really don't know anything about the average audience size american TV channels get, or any TV channel for that matter it also really doesn't matter)

One person is not a currency that can become worth less just because there's more of them now. And CM Punk is there and NXT is gone.

Anyway, back to not caring about number now. Toodles.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Yeah the best place for Shida to go would be the company that historically does jack poo poo nothing with Japanese wrestlers. Even Asuka, whose probably made it the best out of anyone, only exists to lose to Becky Lynch these days.

I normally ignore all these weirdos Dave argues with but this guy actually confused me enough that I asked him to explain what he meant. Unfortunately I gave up after all his replies were just "lmao" and "you actually thought I was talking about inflation??"

TBS and TNT have virtually identical audiences, maybe 1-2m more total for TBS, so it's unclear why he's pretending to expect that to have resulted in a significant increase for AEW. They'll get a better lead-in and be moved around less but that's about it.

The inflation analogy is just dumb since like Dave pointed out the number of houses with cable is decreasing. So it's the opposite of his inflation argument. It'd be like getting a raise AND the dollar is worth more.

As for the NXT argument, it seems that competition wasn't much of a factor since it's not like NXT had a big increase after changing nights.

I hate the fact that these people are oblivious to the fact if you take away his ability to be creative and unfiltered, MJF will be a liability. he'd make one tweet and be kicked out as soon as he arrived.
