Some people are interested in whether or something is working, and it’s success in the marketplace is a major metric for demonstrating that.

My issue with the ratings is that so many people don’t understand them and take Meltzer’s narratives around them as gospel. Wrestling fans don’t understand how the key demo isn’t all and that comparing WWE’s ratings with AEW’s isn’t 1:1 when it comes this TV rights fees business.

I think they are criminally misrepresented by people looking to sell newsletters and do some sort of hypnosis. But there’s nothing inherently wrong with being interested in the business side of things. Especially when the content put out is so boring.
