This listing is different enough that going forward for all of the merchandise information that we’re collecting on a daily basis, I’m going to be reporting only information about items and will not be trying to break those items down into categories by talent. Doing so automatically has its own challenges in that not every item is obviously associated with a given talent based on its name, and further there are items that contain the likenesses or names of multiple talent, which makes assigning categories hard. And in addition to that, the rankings that I come up with are different enough from the rankings the companies themselves disclose that they are possibly not accurate enough to be meaningful while also carrying with it the negative that those rankings make their way onto social media, where the the fact that they are estimates are lost in aggregation and wrestling fan hysteria.
