JNPO: AEW quarterly business review with Brandon Thurston
On a new Josh Nason’s Punch-Out, we celebrate WrestleMania week with a look at AEW business because, well, why not?
Joining me for his quarterly visit is Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics who supplies some supporting documentation for subscribers on his website.
In our talk, we look back at January, February and March 2025 which included the following:
- The dawn of the Max simulcast era and the always civil discussion about viewership numbers
- AEW’s debut in Australia that was a big financial success and sparked a discussion about ring sizes
- AEW getting some financial relief due to some high-level talent releases
- Attendance, ratings, nuance, etc.
