Also, they only place that high on a weak night of television if you take out programming not in its first run. They don’t get better numbers than the Big Bang Theory, which is also more culturally relevant. You’d surely generate more revenue with that than AEW. So why spend money on the original programming when you can just do a better rated block of rerun television that better advertises your streaming service?

They don't actually, they just pretend whatever thing they can spin to make their favorite wrestling company sound good. When they don't get a million in the ratings, it does not matter one bit, they are still number 1! When they get a million viewers, it is a celebration the likes of which you onky ever see when #1BubblingFan has when he thinks Punk might come to this forum and thank him for his loyal support.
Just like Tiny and Meltz were celebrating AEW grossing $100 million this year. Nevermind gross means nothing whatsoever because that is before expenses. Gross mean even less when there is nothing reported about the Net Profit.
They take one thing, act like it matters because they can't admit failure, and convince a bunch of their idiot fans that already love them, that they are killing it.
It is nothing more than a misrepresentation of everything. They are a private company so they can get away with it, but anybody with any business acumen can see right through it. The problem is most of these people are too stupid to realize it.
You have Jericho out there repeating the same old "my boss has more money than your boss" trope. But that is complete bullshit, always has been, but idiots are too stupid to understand anything beyond Forbes' Net Worth list.
The whole AEW narrative is a house of cards. It looks really solid if you only view it from very specific angles, but it is quite a long con (no pun intended) to make a bunch of socially awkward weirdos feel important by pretending the are successful.
