JNPO: AEW quarterly business review with Brandon Thurston
The quarterly tradition of looking back at the last quarter of AEW business continues on Josh Nason’s Punch-Out with a visit from Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.
Josh and Brandon tackle April, May and June in the world of Tony Khan, focused on some of these topics with some perspective given the dates:
- AEW continuing to push internationally with Grand Slam Mexico, the Forbidden Door announcement, Glasgow debut, and All Out to Toronto
- WBD intending to split into two
- The run-up to All In
- A birds-eye view look at attendance, ratings, PPV buys and such from the quarter
- Lots more
We also then had an impromptu talk about the AEW vs. WWE conflicts, antitrust and how MLW may have paved the way for a future lawsuit.
This was another fun conversation, so please check it out for free below, Spotify or Apple Podcasts (just search Wrestling Observer).
