JNPO: AEW Q3 investors call with Wrestlenomics’ Brandon Thurston
Josh Nason’s Punch-Out returns with another AEW investors call episode, focusing on the third quarter of AEW business in 2023.
Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics returns to lend his thoughts, numbers, and an exclusive PDF for Wrestlenomics subscribers.
If you’re new, here’s the inspiration:
Roughly a month after every financial quarter ends, publicly traded companies like TKO (aka WWE & UFC) hold a quarterly call for investors and analysts where they announce how they did financially along with specific numbers.
I had the idea that as viewers and media, we spend a lot of time investing thoughts and words about wrestling’s top challenger brand to WWE so why not do something similar with the information we have available to us?
On this episode, Brandon and I use perspective to talk about:
- The financial success of AEW All In
- The firing of CM Punk and the re-signing of The Elite
- Whether AEW is building valuable IP
- Some quotable quotes
- Year-over-year Dynamite and Rampage ratings in addition to some Collision notes
- PPV sales, revenue and attendance
- Lots more
