Nope, stated several factual things. You'd be delusional that if I said (which I did this week) that the WWE tapings in Houston and San Antonio sold out doesn't mean I'm an AEW enemy, a WWE apologist or a lap dog for Nick Khan. It just means I stated a fact, just like above.
You just admitted you’re an aew guy. Well done

Everyone's numbers in great detail up to date f4wonline.com/wrestling-obse…
And what are AEWs numbers now? You can’t apply past numbers to current product
Damn, I've only had 38 in a row.
Eric Bischoff has been involved in wrestling since the 80s and has had 2 successful years in that whole stretch. 2 years. That's it
So I've heard.
You have to see the Herodes vs Valiente Jr & Los Viajos Espacios trios from Saturday
That channel drives me crazy. Of late there is so much great content that I can never catch up.
Resubscribed to CMLL on YouTube, and just watched Barbaro Cavernario vs Dragon Rojo Jr….. looks like a hair vs hair will in the works, and it does not get more bitchin’ than that!
I know you're being sarcastic but WWE's TV revenue from India before moving to Netflix was No. 2 in the world behind only the U.S.
Those profit margins gonna go up like crazy when that India streaming deal gets announced 🔥

So looks like the tag
I mildly resent how godly this guy is
He's been spot on regarding the recent sales in the sports world and numbers. Not sure why wrestling would be different. Depening on profitability, it's usually 5x to 12x revenue, which would be around $1.25B to $3B range, and since most revenue is guaranteed and good profit…
I know forbes gave it a 2 billion valuation but I really struggle to understand how they got to that number. The other question is who would pay 2B for it, how long would it take to get the return on your investment. I want to know what AEW would have valued itself before forbes
I believe it would but it would have with last year's $7.5B valation as well.
Was the $9.88 billion figure just counting the three biggest Khan family franchises, or could the sports analytics businesses also play a factor into that number? (I'm assuming ROH's value is insignificant in comparison.)

Yes the top guy in the field. So while no breakdown, a 31% increase would indicate the AEW valuation is higher than originally, which logic would say since the original number was pre-TV deal.
Written by the exact same guy!
CNBC in the last two weeks did a number for the Khan sports empire up 31% from Forbes last year. Didn't break down the three franchises, but that would figure to mean at least as much if not quite a bit more.
How about we ask more than just one person
CNBC last week gave the combined Jaguars, Fulham and AEW value at $9.88 billion. Also as far as no profit, read the October 7 issue of the Observer. It'll give you a best and worst case scenario on profit. But profit should be slighty higher due to lower costs for TV…
Yes, this says it exactly how it is. That's why I laugh at those who say otherwise.
Up until the last couple of months, he has been far more critical of AEW than WWE for the last two years. But if you only go by twitter, you have to understand correcting people’s lies, false narratives and misinformation about AEW is not the same as not being critical.

Did an indepth look at the first six months of WWE on Netflix, who watched, when, covering Raw, Smackdown, PLEs, NXT, trends and changes. Lots of stuff here f4wonline.com/news/wwe/for-s…
Let's ask the leading sports analyst on this subject. x.com/MikeOzanian/st…
You’re the only person to value it at $2bill…
Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
They aren't worth 2 billion. Like give me a break
