MLW should go back to where they were pre-pandemic

When they were on Vice TV, MLW Fusion drew their largest audience on beIn Sports TV at around 10k viewers. Before, and after that, they draw around 4k to 7k views per show. On YouTube the shows get 60k to 110k views on average. To be more than fair, let’s say with everywhere they can be seen, they draw 200-250k views per episode. My question is, who are they trying to reach with their current presentation, with the Lucha Underground, and midget comedy stuff? Is there an honest belief that those things will draw larger numbers than they typically get? Would it honestly be "riskier" to present MORE of the style that they presented pre-pandemic? Or, could there be more lapsed fans out there looking for that, the old school, pre-pandemic style, than there are looking for Lucha Underground, and midget comedy wrestling? I'm being straight up here, calm, cool, collected, wondering these things. Look at how excited so many are for the changes they HOPE are coming to WWE. More wrestling, less Sports Entertainment. Guys getting their full names back. John Laurinaitis leaving. Bruce Prichard losing control. Kevin Dunn possibly being done, etc. Doesn't this tell you that people want more legitimate WRESTLING? AEW cannot grow in audience/ratings at all. Not even with Punk, Danielson, Regal, etc. They can’t at all. Why is that? In my opinion, it’s because they are NOT the sports based wrestling they promised. They book “indie style” with little to no sense to most of it, just presenting matches for matches’ sake. There are hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of fans out there craving GOOD pro wrestling. WWE is going to get most of those, if Triple H makes the changes he’s promising, but if a guy like Court Bauer, and MLW, would see what's happening, and jump on it NOW, they could syphon some of those fans to them and MLW. But will they instead keep insisting that a failed Lucha show, and overly scripted interactions, from it’s former “match maker” in his dimly lit office, as well as a 3’ midget wrestler being pushed like Roman Reigns once was, as the answer to drawing in more fans?
