TONY KHAN STINKS! (HBO MAX DROPPING AEW IN 2026; DYNAMITE TANKS INTO IT'S LOWEST RATING EVER; DYNAMITE NO MILLION WATCH: 953 DAYS/136 WEEKS)

But yet there is

2022 they were still doing 900k-800k & filling 10k seat arenas

2023 comes along both TV ratings & Attendance drop

By 2024 there doing 600k-500k and can’t even fill up arenas to half capacity

Both correlate to each other

 

[Larry]

Attendance is by far the most important metric in wrestling imo

Tv numbers will fluctuate and the way these tv deals are structured, there’s no money that’s dependent on that. but when people stop showing up to the live shows, that’s alarming

I'm saying there's no direct correlation between tv ratings and attendance numbers.

Sure, I don't disagree with that. But if they were hitting a million, Tony would say so. They're not. You can draw whatever conclusions you want about the significance. His trying to obfuscate is funny and weird.

"Is AEW hitting a million viewers?"
No. Or "not yet, but we've been around less than ten years and are regularly one of the top-rated programs on cable TV," or "ratings only tell a part of the story. I'm interested in putting out the best wrestling in the world," there are a million ways to answer. He tried, but saying you're unsure reads like the answer is no, but you don't want to say no, and like he's a goof—also, no real reason to bring up NBA or NCAA.

Unsuprisingly the comments about this by Dub fans think its a fed planted story as opposed to a union asking for proper protocol

Yeah I believe it’s because the union want to take advantage of the fact that a large company is running a residency there and publicize their issues with the building. If AEW only ran show there, then I think this wouldn’t be going on
