33% of the audience that was there for night 1 on netflix is gone. Its a significant issue. Theyve entered more markets as the months has rolled on and theyre gaining nothing for it. Theyre hemorrhaging views each week. They arent dropping out of the listings because bigger shows are entering their numbers are actively diminishing.

There's a hard bottom. AEW brings in the core wrestling fan and really nothing else. Wrestling ratings cant actually be lower than what they put out. Obviously wrestling is unsustainable at that rating and is fully support by money from other ventures and isnt organically operational. We all know that. But slap any wrestling on any national channel and it will pull those numbers.

WWE i think has a much higher floor. There's a significant number of people who wont watch anything else but will watch ANYTHING wwe puts out. Where that bottom is who knows but but the math says we're on our way to finding out.

The issue is netflix didnt pay that kind of money for a loss leader. Netflix is notorious for cutting there losses on SUCCESSFUL shows just because statics say after x number of seasons views TEND to drop. There's no reality where they keep paying for something thats shrinking. They never do that.

Its a significant issue and youd need AEW derangement syndrome to not know it.
