Anyway it's been long-clear that the "new car smell" wore off and really it did sometime in summer/fall 2022 or so.
If anything, COVID helped stretch the new car smell out longer because most people view the pandemic era as being its own weird kind of bubble and the re-opening in summer 2021 was still the first time a lot of audiences ever got to go out and see AEW. They're clearly having a tough time drawing gates for repeat markets and are only in the green for these shows because they've had to raise ticket prices to make up for it.
