Why is this news?

>>18100509 (OP)
This bothers the Edophiles. Get ready for a bunch of cope posts now.

why does he count gate vs comp for every company except AEW

>>18100519
Jewboy Dave has to shill his company to collect dem checks

>Forbidden Door 23- $1.25 million was the second biggest non-WWE NA show ever
I'm probably answering my own question here, but is Mexico just so fucking poor that they just don't draw the kind of money? I can't believe some Anniversario show wouldn't have been higher than that.

>>18100509 (OP)
Wow, they're making $2.5 million in ticket sales on one show and still can't turn a profit?

HERE COMES THE SEETHE

yep. they be oinkin. the tonedog always makes em boil.

>>18100575
Mexican promotions rely heavily on sponsorships. Watch an average CMLL/AAA supermarket and you'll see logos and commercials plastered all over the place.

>>18100532
I see. Tell me more.

Wow

Only 12,000 paid. Doesn't count.

>>18100509 (OP)
It really does show how pissant all non-WWE wrestling is that a failing, subpar AEW with literally no mainstream appeal can still somehow surpass everything else with ease in so many different metrics. Like how they outdrew all of TNA with their first ever show.
These are completely pathetic numbers and still better than what everyone else has done outside of WWE. Not only is AEW a failure, but it is living proof that the entire "wrestling" business outside of WWE should not even exist because it's unjustifiable culturally and financially.

>>18104807
Sure, let's just have one company running everything. That couldn't possibly go wrong. Hey, isn't there a word for that? Oh yeah, that's called a monopoly and it's supposed to be illegal.

>>18104749
why don't we have the paid figure for aew?
why would dave not even mention how many free seats there are at this event?

>>18104749
source?

>>18100509 (OP)
Wow thats crazy

>>18104856
WWE should be considered a TV production company that's competing with other TV shows. "Wrestling" should not exist.

>>18100509 (OP)
Magoo simultaneously has total access to tony's books and zero access to them

Amazing

>>18100509 (OP)
That's great, now how does it compare to last year's All In or the one from two years ago?

>>18100509 (OP)
Didn’t great American bash do 27k in the 80s?

1 million divided by 20,000 people would be $50 tickets. AI says median wage in Mexico is about $4 an hour and wrestling tickets are typically $5 to $35 in US dollars.

>>18100509 (OP)
Tony just got caught lying about ratings. Why would I trust him when it comes to attendance?

>>18104856
>that's called a monopoly and it's supposed to be illegal

Depends on the details as sports leagues and entertainment companies compete with each other.

>Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., stated that neither baseball games nor the "personal effort" of players fell under the definition of commerce, and therefore, the business of baseball was not subject to the Sherman Antitrust Act. Baseball, even at the professional level, was recreation and entertainment. It was only a game. Despite numerous legal challenges over the years, the ruling still stands.

>>18100609
they do oinkin
first grand slam mexico
now all in
piggiE bitches oinkin even more than usual

>>18100613
that screen that shows non stop ads during AAA shows is so distracting

>>18104807
WWE didn't start regularly doing 10K+ houses for TVs or PPVs until well into the monopoly era.

Study the attendances of brand exclusive PPVs from the 2000s and get back to me.

>>18100579
and tony will license a song or two for 2 million each, remember the final countdown, and instantly negate any money he may have taken in on ticket sales

>>18117216
kek hope you never believed the Wrestlemania attendance promos

>>18117211
>AI says

>>18117319
Yeah that's why he's based. TK would rather spend his dimes giving the fans a good show than make profits he doesn't need. Enjoy your Def Rebel slop piggiE.

then why even charge for tickets in the first place?

>>18100509 (OP)
Wowza

>>18100509 (OP)
Really?

>>18117394
AI is usually very accurate for public figures like median income by country. It's just a simple pull from data, no complex artificial thinking required. Are you really not aware that Mexico is a relatively poor country and would be very unlikely to have a million dollar lucha gate?

How the fuck did WCW attract that many people in 1999? It was an awful show at that point, even f it was free

Look at that schizo math

Nice try but NXT is a WWE PPV. Let's see them do the best non WWE event.

Who cares about the 6 thousy watching on YouTube loads of non wwe events drew massive crowds this why should it being a ppv or not matter to the people buying tickets

Kevin Nash was in the main event. But really around 4 million Americans were still watching Nitro around then. Plus 6 million for Raw gives a lot of potential ticket buyers viewers if either company was in their area.

>>18123307
No

>>18100509 (OP)
So how does it look YOY?

Yeah but what is le story?

ok gotta move those goalposts

>>18124488
AEW has had 3 of their 5 biggest gates ever this year. So pretty damn good.

>>18124576
To be fair, the OP says PPV. They're not moving any posts.

>>18100509 (OP)
Surely Tony won't have Mox beat Hangman though..... right guys?

>>18100509 (OP)
I like that Tony was put into eternal seethe mode over britbong turnstile counts that exposed his fake phony bullshit business so he moved it over here.

>>18100509 (OP)
Wait I thought that the All Ins in wembley did like 45k and 70k attendance respectively? Why is that not mentioned?

>North America

I'm sure some Mexican shows had bigger attendance numbers

>>18100519
Right? I thought wwe was canceled dogshit?

>>18124705
>To be fair, the OP says PPV.
its just a wrestling show shown on PPV. they are deliberately trying to muddy the waters to pretend aew is achieving something its not

>>18125454
All wrestling PPVs are just wrestling shows on PPV, anon. I don't get your problem with the statement. Genuinely. No troll.

>>18125466
Not him but it's obviously a bit of an artificially narrowed category to claim "we've got the biggest show (no.2)"
PPV were all the rage in 1996 but not in 83 and definitely not in 2025
The day we get the actual, pitiful gayEW PPV buy numbers, Dave is gonna move on to the second biggest wrestling show with people wearing red socks in attendance or some shit

In reality, without Dave's positive propaganda

>>18100509 (OP)
Slamboree '99 had 20,500. And we all know Tony is going to lie about his attendance figures.

>>18124885
Good catch. Lucha AAA did 50k in Mexico City in 1993.

AEW's had bigger shows in NA themselves like the first couple of Grand Slams. This is entirely Dave trying to put positive spin on the fact that they are down 80% in 2 years and he really hopes no one notices

>>18125592
>Not him but it's obviously a bit of an artificially narrowed category to claim "we've got the biggest show (no.2)"
exactly

Don't understand how people don't call Dave out for the comped tickets when it comes to AEW but hyper focuses on that exact premise when it comes to WCW and WWE. He's so transparent it's insane.
