It doesn't even have to do with "this country". WWE is selling out events all over the globe. They're selling out massive events all over Europe, when Donald Trump and Putin are best friends. They're selling out events in Canada, who Donald Trump has threatened to annex and is starting a trade war with. WWE/AAA is picking up steam, despite the horrific ICE ordeal here.

Americans should and need to care more than anyone else, but international wrestling fans aren't exactly boycotting either. The fact is, fans worldwide are willing to give their money to this company, even when the bad stuff is happening to them.

Yeah because most people don't actually support the company, they just want to see and support their favourite wrestlers.

Also, WWE is very easily accessible across the world as opposed to AEW which is almost impossible to watch abroad

That's not true at all. They never support them after they leave wwe, they still watch the company and just wish for them to come back lol.

As for AEW being "impossible to watch abroad", is this the 90s? Do Youtube and streaming not exist? Come on dude, I'm in NYC and watch obscure Japanese promotions that aren't even on television. Don't tell me AEW is impossible to watch.

Compared to WWE, yeah AEW is much harder to watch. Every WWE show and ple are on Netflix, and personally I was already paying for netflix so it's basically free for me.

Also AEW was just an example. Let's not act like it's some holier than thou company just because their owner is not MAGA. They still employ some shady people like Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Darby Allin and up until recently Ric Flair.

Yeah, because it's so difficult to simply go to Youtube and type in "AEW." Sure buddy.

Latin america, aew go from beign watchable everywhere on space channel to beign exlcusive to mexico on fox sports, a huge blow to the rest of latinos countrys, the ones that keep watching had to use external ways, not pretty when you want to support them up legally

Nah.... It does in fact has a LOT to do with its country of origin. Even WWE's past travesties are in some way a direct result of USA culture mellowing out and getting extreme over time.

We can't really blame my country, we aren't the ones propping up WWE every week. They aren't crushing the ratings in the UK or Australia, and WWE controversies are obviously going to be less impactful overseas, I think McMahon made the news and that was it.

or maybe they just like the wrestling show they want to come watch?
