I agree with you so much on oversaturation.

Growing up you really only had to watch WWF Superstars and WCW Saturday Night to follow everything. You *could* watch Wrestling Challenge (and who wouldn't want to with Monsoon/Heenan) and WCW Saturday Morning/Main Event...but you didn't have to.

There's too much product, in WWE's case it's almost all the same. I love horror movies and I could probably watch a new horror film every day if I had the chance...but if every horror movie had the same production style, camera angles and horrible storylines I'd get bored fast. In AEW's case I already don't watch the YT shows and am on the fence about Rampage.

Live events I think will do fine for now as well. I think around 3-5k will be the average attendance for shows, with big shows getting bigger crowds. In WWE's case I am wondering if they have any long-term plans (note: I know they don't) since Cena at SummerSlam and Rock at Survivor Series leaves something you can't possibly top for WrestleMania. I think Cena will give SD a lil bump in ratings and I think Rock will most definitely give SD a significant bump in ratings, but what's the plan after that (note: I know they don't have one)...
