It's 2023, media rights money is worth significantly more than live gate money. It's an important source of revenue of course but hardly the main driver of revenue like it was back during the WCW era.

All that money they got from the All In gate, which was nearly 11 million, isn't even 20% of what their media rights deal is for one year..

That All In gate is likely going to end up being more than all their other PPVs for the last two years combined. And of course the typical weekly show makes far less money than a PPV does, and that was the case even when AEW was hot.

As far as saying it's Impact Zone level, Impact wishes they could get anywhere close to as many people as AEW did last week. Impact rarely ever even draws 1,000 people. The last two PPVs with attendance listed on Cagematch were both under 700.
This is why Jade is leaving

Now ya'll can keep fooling yourselves and think everything is fine, but this right here is a horrible look for a major promotion. They don't have the longevity that the WWE has to be able to let this play out, Tony needs to make some big moves quick or else more people will be walking out the door. BTW: Live gates are still very important since every source of revenue pays for salaries and other things.

:martin: I literally said in my post it was an important source of revenue. And when I say literally I mean literally. As in word for word I literally said "It's an important source of revenue of course..."

That's why I feel Jade is leaving, She can no longer be happy playing 2nd fiddle to an overrated horse faced dentist and falling attendance.
She needs to form a WWE version of the baddies with Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson... must see TV
They're doing their thing with that Meta 4 stable, but like most NXT acts that feels like something that'll flop on the main roster. That idea is also too much of an AEW ripoff and I don't think Jade wants to do that again.

I'll never support lumping all the black ones together, and if I was WWE I'd be hesitant to run any angles she's already done somewhere else, but that could work

You didn't get Toxic Attraction to the main roster since Mandy went AWOL, she was about to drop the NXT title and all 3 were getting called up, now she's gone and the other two are still stuck in NXT. I'd take everything about TA and dip it in melanin, easiest thing ever. Then figure out which one of Lash/Jakara has the higher ceiling, flip her on Jade, and there's your new babyface star

Yeah Meta 4 will definitely fail... Noam Dar don't got juice like that in real life. And for all we know the baddies could've been her idea. Plus WWE has been doing trio factions years before AEW even came out. Don't see how it can be a ripoff :yeshrug:

Come on breh, If you have her coming out to the ring with a black squad like she did in AEW then you know it'll look like a imitation of the baddies :russ: . I see her either going to NXT for a little bit or debuting on Smackdown, which imo would be much better than going to RAW. Jade needs to be on the show with the most viewers.

I like the move of going to Smackdown as well
