>PER MONTH
I'm not talking about a TV show, but about their live shows. From those monthly shows they cut out pieces and that's what they broadcast delayed throughout the month on a channel that nobody watches.
CMLL has 6 live shows a week but only broadcasts 3 (tuesday, wednesday and friday). There are 24 live shows each month by CMLL vs. one live show per month (on average) by AAA.
>if you are on the road why would you need an arena?
Because that allows you to maximize or minimize profits and have stability? Are you seriously comparing AAA in Mexico with WWE in the United States? Well, even WWE has several live shows a week and many live shows a month. AAA only offers one live show a month (which doesn't fill the venue and ends up giving away a good part of its tickets). CMLL wrestlers are also hired to wrestle in independent functions, which allows CMLL to participate in both modalities.
>but yeah they just have a few long term contracts, iirc they have 50 on normal short term contract, and around 100 on-call basis mostly indie people
50? 100? Nah, that's too many. Where are those 50-100 wrestlers under the AAA brand? Besides, those 'small' contracts they give out
are just 'image management' contracts. 'Contracts' where the wrestler can basically sell himself outside the AAA brand but must pay a percentage to that company that is supposed to give him 'image projection'. AAA doesn't really have any contractual obligations to them. That's why wrestlers keep leaving all the time when they want. Because they don't really get anything from AAA and they even have to pay the company for their work (work that they get themselves outside of AAA).

>As I said companies don't buy broke companies
Where do you get that from? Of course, companies buy bankrupt companies all the time; that's another fairly common form of business.
