Image: AEW
For the first time in two months, Josh Nason’s Punch-Out has returned with a new episode looking at the second quarter in AEW business with the one & only Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.
We sift through all the interesting news & notes from April, May and June and how that has brought AEW to their current point where they are awaiting the announcement of either a very important TV rights renewal or non-renewal with WBD.
A few highlights we look back at:
- Their second-ever quarter with three pay-per-views
- All of the quotes and red herrings around the TV rights negotiations
- Tony Khan’s decisions to air the CM Punk/Jack Perry All In fight footage and to call WWE “the Harvey Weinstein of pro wrestling”
- The announcement of their first-ever residency and Summer Series in Arlington, Texas
- A look at year-over-year ratings, attendance and PPV buys
- Lots more
Wrestlenomics subscribers can gain access to a PDF featuring notes and graphs we discuss on the show.
