Guest Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Running events, even at a loss, gives them content for more profitable areas of business. Don't get what problem is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Supermarkets sell lots of things at a loss as overall they make it back in other areas. They are making lots of money off wrestling, and investing it back in via the wrestlers. Rather that than they just trousered it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'm not convinced they're a positive for British wrestling. They put on shows at a loss, the quality of which can't be matched by promoters who are in the business to make money. My concern is they'll damage smaller shows and smaller promotions who can't match the star power because they can't afford to blow 75k on talent.

CAREBEAR LUVVA Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It's a shame the crowd was so unbearable at that Manchester show. It was as if the entire crowd was unaware that wrestling shows actually happen in real life, and this was their one and only opportunity to get their shit in. "This is awesome" chants in nearly every match, tons of WWE/TNA stuff, having their own matches because they were bored by Joe Conners (fair play, I can't really fault them on that one)... It was the utterly cringeworthy "are you watching, Vince McMahon?" during Kurt/Cody that just about finished me off though. I know it's an internet show, but fucking hell fire. It was like all the worst parts of every message board rolled into one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Benno Posted October 11, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2016 Had a look at this because I’m a boring stat person for a living. Just looking at the WCPW page alone, the total Youtube views on the 134 videos thus far there is 6,043,000, rounded to the nearest thousand. Their average views per video is 45k - a typical episode of their TV on this page doing slightly less than that, with 6 of their videos being what I’d call big hits, doing numbers between 100,000 and 200,000 views.  Youtube RPM (Revenue per thousand views) is somewhat subjective depending on where you read (and factors like YT not monetising videos with questionable content), but using the absolute most generous estimate I can find ($3.40 per thousand views – after Youtube take their cut) they’d make $20,566.60 from the YouTube channel. Using a less generous estimate ($1.36 per thousand views) they’d make in the region of $8226.64.  So at current exchange rates it’s in the region of £6,693 - £16,314 total for the WCPW page.  Edit - It gets more complicated when you add in the WCPW videos they've added to their overall What Culture Wrestling YouTube. Those numbers are harder to extrapolate, so maybe I’ll take a harder look later, but I can see 90 videos give or take related to WCPW on there.  The ones I can see have done a total of 8,017,000 views so again with the varying CPM we’re talking between $10,903-$27,258 (or £8.897-£22,338). So that more than doubles it, and it’s very impressive – but I’m still not sure it justifies a wrestling promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’d be impressive, but I’m not sure that buys you much more than a single Kurt Angle appearance.  That's just on their WCPW page though they have other channels as well  They have 115,756,662 views on this channel https://www.youtube.com/user/whatculturevids/videos  366,140,661 views on this one https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq8jp0E99ELBvmBxjJ-JLgA/videos  41,662,120 views here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvO9Xk3bheuxEemvknCj72g/videos  572,734 views here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCUn2h3qcfj7poHhJKZhLDA/videos  Pretty sure it's all run by the same guys, they have their own website too which probably brings in ad revenue as well I'm guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted October 11, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2016 Thanks for that. I’m not sure it’s fair to include the existing general What Culture Youtube or the MMA or Gaming ones especially, but the WCPW content on the Wrestling page is very fair I didn't see that.

Kamaras-Tash Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Yeah I was just thinking of money already made from previous views on all their channels should have left them with a decent wedge in the bank to play wrestling promoter with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
