Impact Wrestling averaged 151,000 weekly in 2020.

ROH and NWA were apparently closer to 100,000 weekly. However - these stats only take into consideration the American market.

600,000 viewers is not niche or fanatical.

You just don't understand how to analyse the data.

Stop.

Even the main shows are niche, WWE has been niche for years.

1.5-2 million viewers isn’t mainstream, that’s a niche core of devoted fanatics.

Less than that is even more niche, no one in the real world even knows NXT exists.

WWE is the biggest product in the market - whether you watch any of their channels, like them or don't they are the biggest company in pro-wrestling. By definition that means they are not niche.

If you are talking about the whole word - as an extended market. Most people will be able to name the Rock and maybe Hulk Hogan and that is about it - if you ask someone who doesn't watch wrestling they will strange to name promotions.

Just like if you ask someone in American to name five Formula 1 drivers or someone in the UK to name 5 Nascar drivers. The truth is - in today's market.

Also don't tell me to - STOP. That is just rude

Viewership on a global scale - also depends on the platform on which they are delivered. For example - WWE is on BT Sport which is a cable service. But it was historically on Sky Sports - however as a package BT Sports is terrible.

On the other hand AEW is on Free to View TV - so in the UK its not hard to guess which has more viewers.

They are the biggest company of a niche genre, Professional Wrestling in its current incarnation, today is niche.

If you are talking about the whole word - as an extended market. Most people will be able to name the Rock and maybe Hulk Hogan and that is about it - if you ask someone who doesn't watch wrestling they will strange to name promotions.

Exactly because wrestling is niche.

Just like if you ask someone in American to name five Formula 1 drivers or someone in the UK to name 5 Nascar drivers. The truth is - in today's market.

Professional Wrestling is niche, it’s not mainstream whatsoever, the goal is to expand business, not stay niche.

On this basis - pro wrestling is niche and has always been niche.
So what point are you trying to make?

Wrestling has not always been niche, this is a common deflection in effort to justify the niche style that most don’t want.

Wrestling was mainstream from 1984-1992 then 1998-2002.



Workrate has never and will never draw, that style including NXT needs

Where are you gets these stats from? These metrics are based on what? If I asked most people do they know what the Monday Night Wars are - they would look at me blank. Pro wrestling is either niche or not niche. But Triple H has nothing to do with either.

Where I’m getting these numbers from??

Ratings, YouTube/Internet views and network subs.

They’re at the lowest.

Attitude era 1999-2000, average of 6-8 million viewers weekly.

Today - 1.5-2 million, with NXT and AEW getting 600,000.

Its niche, its irrelevant , Professional Wrestling today in its current incarnation doesn’t draw.

Doesn’t matter if people today don’t know about the Monday night wars, they weren’t around, back then it was a national phenomenon.


And yes Triple H is a problem, he continued catering to a niche who shouldn’t even be considered catered to.

I bought stock in 2014.....

I listened to atleast 3 conference calls......bruh I can tell you that they all have confidence in triple h and mainly Stephanie McMahon if they takeover.


The stock had two major slip ups, but as an investor told me.....barring amazon and Walmart.....WWE has been a very steady investment.

Who has confidence?

I want the stockholders and executives names, you need proof.

And 3 quarter conference calls isn’t enough, there been way more than that since their push to corporate.

The irony of you asking for proof.

What’s the irony?

I only post proof, for example Rock being a bigger draw than Austin is rooted in concrete numbers.

You have no proof of how the stock holders feel. You've provided zero.
