Y'all realize that $104M number came from Dirt Sheet Dave finding out AEW paid their entire staff, including wrestlers, backstage personnel, camera guys, production crew, etc. a total of $2M during their PPV weekend. He multiplied $2M x 52 weeks in a year. Meltzer is an idiot
Not saying you're making this up as this is totally something Dave would do but do you have a source that that's where the number came from?

From F4WOnline

“Mike Mansury filed forms for tax credits in Nevada listing the expresses for the TV taping and Double or Nothing PPV show on 5/24 and 5/25. The key number was $2 million in salaries, which would include all talent and other workers.”

“Since talent is paid based on annual contracts, this would indicate the total talent number to be in the range of $104 million per year, which is very high. Someone familiar with the budgeting said that the way pay is done for some includes per match figures and all the highest paid available top guys were working that weekend and the usual weekly pay is below that figure. Still I’d safely put it at below the $104 million, but not a lot below it.”

Dave's such a goof. But the aggregators are just as bad.

So if the criticize AEW in another thread that’s not specifically talking about AEW you’re a stooge & people cry about whataboutmeism of whatever that is

If you criticize AEW in an AEW thread or one that supposably about criticism you hate watch & a stooge
