But Thurston's expenses estimate is probably off too since he's using WWE's ratio of revenue made to expenses in the same area (live events for example) and WWE has much more overhead than AEW.

I imagine starting a new TV show and running more PPVs is a big part of the expense

Is that really what he based it on, that's really silly. WWE has way way way more overhead.

AEW doesn't have any writers to pay and barely does any marketing so I'm sure their percentages are much lower

WWE lays off like 20% of the office staff every 6 months. i bet they've got lower overhead actually

Also if you watch the video the amount the roster is paid on average is a complete guess at 450,000 dollars. Just a complete stab in the dark. The only thing to take from the numbers is AEW probably records a loss, which makes sense and everyone knew would be the case before a new TV deal.

https://x.com/Variety/status/1737583001037357230 WBD are in merger talks with Paramount. quote:Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount would be looking to pool their assets, which span TV, film, sports and streaming, to gain greater scale and operational efficiencies. Specifically, WBD and Paramount would have an interest in combining their Max and Paramount+ premium streaming services to better compete with the likes of Netflix and Disney’s Disney+ and Hulu. blunt fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Dec 20, 2023 |

20 Years ago - everything was controlled by companies based around the network channels. Now at least we have apple, amazon, and google offering up more content to, just with control moved around a bit.

https://twitter.com/WrestleTix/status/1737877988660703722 Starrcade 97 is listed at 17,500 on Wikipedia which sounds right for a sellout of that building. If they are going to run a small stage this could end up being the biggest crowd Sting has ever main evented.

The second All In is on track to do only marginally worse than the first, at a certain point it's just part of the equation.
