Wrestlenomics Radio (10/20/2024)

Brandon Thurston on the latest news in wrestling business:

  • More about TV rankings and why they are now and have long been a more reliable measure of media value

  • Why AEW isn’t a repeat of WCW in 2001 but more so WWE in 2018 in terms of its paradoxes, fundamental challenges, and fan reactions

  • WWE UK tour attendance

  • Cost per viewer hour of Smackdown on USA Network

  • Netflix subscribers surpass top cable networks

Your questions, including:

  • If AEW wrestlers are misclassified, why aren’t indie wrestlers like those who work for GCW also misclassified?

  • A lesson in media literacy

  • Why does no one ask Tony Khan about attendance?

  • Could AEW’s worsening attendance hurt its media value?

  • Based on Fox TV ratings, what weekday would make the most sense for an AEW show on Fox?
