    But my point is that you look at what I described, and realize what it would take to pull that off. First off, you need a fanbase sizable enough to do something like that. You also need the cash flow, and distribution to produce essentially 4 weekly TV shows all at the same time. Obviously it couldn’t be live, but it is still 4 different venues in 4 different countries, with international travel for at least a portion of the roster on a weekly basis.

    And I don’t think that’s possible once you realize how low budget and limited their logistics are.

      True but size is also a feature here.

      A small roster managed up close and dedicated to delivering consistently is much better than like, AEW in 2023.

      It’s the difference between an industrial bakery and a hole in the wall handmade patisserie, you get a much better product but you can’t easily scale it up.
