John Cena

Oh, man, he really did something great.

Yeah.

It was good for you, too.

I think it was good for everyone.

Yeah.

The Montreal Screwjob is another moment that's like, wow, this got picked up by a lot of folks, and it was a moment.

But it was kind of in a lull in the business.

When I mean, like, boom, I mean, like, sustained bull market.

Like, wrestling is on everybody's mind from 1984 to, like, 1988.

And then from like 1997 to 2001.

And now it's been like, I think COVID helped us out a lot.

We were the only program that ran during the pandemic to give fans entertainment.

But it's probably been like 18, 19 to 25.

like it's it's grown exponentially the the better tv deals uh being able to reach more global audience having a crop of new stars and having the old stars kind of fade and transition but like having the bullpen stacked yeah i think is has helped and the fact that now it's it's

relatively easy to be a performer on tv and i'm saying comparatively speaking before there was only one monday night raw with two hours of broadcast time on it now there's a bunch of different shows uh tna just announced another tv deal like there's a there's a lot of stuff going on so there's a way for you as a performer to put your business card out there you know like it now has been it's been a great time to be a wrestling fan and it's been a great time to be a wrestler yeah it's a good point because

So WWE had birthed SmackDown.

So it went from two hours to four hours.

But we absorbed ECW and WCW.

So they absorbed like 250 contract talent for four hours of television.

Yeah.
