I think anyone can come in and pour 50-100k into a crappy bar and say you “rescued” it, at least for about a week before they let it go to shite again.

If you read up on his actual business, he focuses way more on grooming talent, personnel management, and relationship building. That's part of why every episode has him focusing on family dysfunction (if present) and lack of managerial interest/control - he really does work on those things.

I'd watch a whole hour of him talking about $/sq. ft, profit margins on drinks, etc but no bar can even begin talking about that if the owner is sexually harassing customers or drinking on the job.

Of course, he did invent the "butt funnel" but most of the renovation stuff is guided by Spike producers.
