Reply to comment by quettil in Vince McMahon Wants $9 Billion for His WWE Wrestling Media Empire by Sisiwakanamaru

Theres another pro-wrestling company that has a primetime slot on cable during the week. Pro-wrestling in general does surprisingly well for such a niche product.

Not if you watch it. I'd be amazed if anyone that currently watches wrestling even at the most casual level that doesn't know about AEW. Even in my rual UK town I can find AEW merch right next to the WWE stuff.

It's an old post but I did see them this year as well.

Something being in home bargains is practically confirmation that no one cares about it.

I grew up in the 90s/2000s watching a ton of wrestling, still see random clips of it now and I have no idea what AEW is. Is that the league Pat Mcafee fought in for the memes? Pretty sure that was still the WWE though.
