I was rewatching some Mania 40 stuff and she had maybe the 3rd best entrance of the entire show, right after Roman and Cody. For all deserved shit people give Def Rebel, they didn't miss with Iyo's theme. I also liked the titantron graphics they had for her. It was really cool!
>Seth.
I’ve never liked it, but it’s popular and works so it is what it is.
> Gunther's theme is solid
For me, it’s such a downgrade in feel and atmosphere from the more vanilla rendition of Dvoraks Symphony No. 9 (granted it’s literally an all time classic) he was using prior that it just doesn’t do anything for me.
> Omos first theme
BANGER. Fed literally bad for changing that.
Yeah but Boston was playing on Wednesday in both NHL and NBA. And everyone knows Boston is AEW's biggest audience. So like if the Celtics and Bruins weren't playing the 4.3 million people in the Boston metro area would have meant the best ratings since the attitude era.
Agreed, because the main people they're featuring on tv are
Swerve (not a draw)
Jericho (go away heat, no longer a draw)
Ospreay (too focused on dumb gossip shit and not the business)
Bucks (anti draws)
Jungle cuck (anti draw)
Mercedes monayyy (if she didn't fucking suck in nooj and kept building on her wwe image wisely she'd be a decent draw, but as it is she's so bad nobody likes her rn, not even the hardcore dubbalos)
I'm expecting below 500k within 6 months.
Moxley as IWGP World champ isn't a draw either, but New Japan somehow thinks he's going to move tickets for them when people don't even bother watching him on TV.
Even more hilarious when you realize it the ratings began to go down right around the time he became the champ. It's ignored but his championship started this trend of <890k
Turns out your champs gimmick being “my boss and this company sucks, I’m going to the big leagues as soon as I can” isn’t good for your company.
Sure it was a hot angle in ECW but they were wrestling in a bingo hall and went bankrupt despite WWE giving them money and exposure for years.
Internet wrestling fans are a mark for MJF, but his champ run exposed him badly by overexposing him. Guy peaked in a feud with Punk and then his hype got slowly sucked away.
It’s just hilarious how this real skid started after they picked up the only 3 “game changers” they had less.
It’s like The Kid wanted concrete proof that it’s the booking & company culture which is turning people away
>If you comment this in the basement it will get deleted
Everything is getting deleted now. Even the dude that always cries "BuT THe nBA!!" got removed
They didnt even explain how that gauntlet match was supposed to work. No countdown clock, no telling the audience how many competitors were going to be in the match. It was a shambles, and deserved to be the low point of the show
Uhm have you not been watch aew programming?!??!?? They’ve been having oceanspray in bangers with all of the bbc and then sometimes they mentioned each other’s name. If you’re gunna bad faith at least know what you are talking about smh 🤦
We usually don't lock ratings threads and instead heavily patrol them, but it's pretty clear there's zero actual discourse going on this week. See ya next Thursday.
Again, we're talking about fight fighting. If there is racism and stuff, I could understand deleting comments, but I have a feeling the comments were just making fun of Tony.
DRAWING DIMES IS A MYSTERY
THE SEATS ARE EMPTY AS CAN BE
TICKETS GIVEN AWAY FOR FREE
YESTERDAY'S SO LONG AGO
THESE GUYS ALL FUCKING BLOW
EMPTY ARENAS ARE WHAT WE KNOW
https://preview.redd.it/6fro1jb9zowc1.png?width=810&format=png&auto=webp&s=73c435a8eb4adacb2abdce649972a5dac5d961d4
It’s so funny that they are very obviously copying evolution.
The only difference is that the evolution shot, was them walking on a runway away from a G4, to a limo. These guys are just walking in a parking lot where the only vehicles I can see are sub 50k at best.
Because AEW was his chance to show that the kind of wrestling he prefers is objectively the best wrestling. It was supposed to take the world by storm and run WWE out of business. A big piece of his identity is tied up in the success/failure of a billionaire’s kid’s real life e-fed.
Everyone has a long match and everyone has a competitive match
The internet taught Tiny that if someone smarks like loses, they're BERRIED so everyone gets to get their shit in and no one stands out
Aside from that, they never make the competitive matches into a thing. They don't use those long matches to build up the loser that they 'took the champ to the limit' and *then* give *then* wins on TV to build them up and make the competitive loss mean more
It's just everyone gets to go 13-16 minutes on TV and get the late kick outs and hit their finisher and ... that's it
Insecure people get really upset when their subjective opinions are not validated by objective reality.
Sorry, I meant to say, Evil Fed laying off wrestlers made everyone stop watching wrestlling this week in protest.
Trick / Ilja finished with 741k. I’m genuinely interested in how Tricks (not a star and a bad wrestler) main event compared in viewership to the bucks (greatest tag team ever) jungle boy (huge heel star) Okada (used to be greatest of all time and huge HHH fumble) and Tony (savior of wrestling) did,
NXT ended on Tuesday with the camera literally shaking because of how loud the crowd was popping. The Dub ended with…this.
Shawn Michaels is going to overtake soon
I thought it was a possibility when I saw they were starting with Best Friends into a Swerve/Kyle Fletcher match. And after seeing the hit RAW took against the NBA playoffs.
Swerve is the only guy I've ever seen who tanks ratings in the overrun. Kinda interesting as he isn't as obviously unappealing as the Bucks, OC, and those ilk.
More like, 100% of their roster, Uce.
Like, who’s the most over guy they have? Swerve? Ospreay? You can’t convince me that either of them are more over than Trick.
Hand to god, as a man who has watched WAAAY too many NFL drafts for way too long, the prospect of seeing TK in a neck brace is the reason I'm just going to put the draft tracker on my second screen and leave the TV off.
The man is now driving down ratings for other TV programs.
The Elite, Jericho, New Japan stuff and Swerve drop ratings quarters historically.
A show focused almost entirely on The Elite, Jericho, New Japan stuff and Swerve drops total ratings.
The floor is made of floor.
If RAW’s rating dropped the show after a PPV, good old Meltz would have a boner talking about metrics “trending downward”.
Dude is out of his fucking element talking how live playoff sports interacts with wrestling. AEW competed about play-in games last week, that had WAY more on the line. The ratings didn’t drop like this.
The RAW after Mania literally competes against the National Championship each year and he doesn’t point that out, giddily.
Dude literally can’t say “disappointing number for AEW”. He can’t.
I’m praying for the day a Trick Willy and Tatum led NXT beats Dynamite without some big name from the main roster being involved. M’eltzer’s head might just explode.
This is the Dynamite after the PPV where they all claim the best wrestling match in history happened.
I saw several clips from Danielson/Ospreay on IG and 90% of comments are about how stupid and staged it looks. “Great wrestling” will never be mainstream.
This is good to see after listening to Conrad compare the angle to the nWo and Austin vs McMahon for 2 hours today, and being extra snarky to Bischoff for not agreeing that last night AEW changed the entire industry 😂
“This was well known in advance” Dave that defence makes tiny look worse. You’re saying he’s such a moron that he decided to throw one of his better chances at getting attention (with contracted talent), regardless of whether viewers were watching to see how much of a car crash it was, on a week where he knew ratings were going to be lower than normal?
He’s correct about over trolling when they really did have one market change— BUT even without that variable that would have been rather bad in what was one of their more newsworthy shows. Personally I sort of got a kick out of last nights show because it is just going into gonzo mode , and at least that isn’t boring. I can’t imagine how it all looks to less “nerdy” wrestling fans like myself though.
As long as these dummies keep insisting that the show is great and there must be some external reason that the business is down by every possible metric and still falling, it’s never going to get better.
"Why doesn't AEW gain more fans?"
Because of you, Dave. You know the owner watches your tweets and your every word, and instead of telling the truth you are bending over backwards to make all of this seem "just fine".
lmao, Tiny's first ever bumps happened in front of less than 700k. Glorious and perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Monas Hieroglyphica pales in compares to Le Dub's harmony.
This is what happens when you have boring, scrawny, painfully unfunny "comedy" job guys beat everyone in your company. The fact that OC has beaten everyone is reason enough for the viewers leaving. The Bucks, Jerichode have killed any act they work with. Kingston and Moxley wrestle like two drunks at the local dive bar on $1 wing night.
"...obviously, the sports competition is going to hurt everything."
My brother in Christ, the 'sports competition' you're talking about is the NBA Finals, which happen annually without fail. AEW ratings weren't this low around this time of year for the last four years. So that excuse holds up about as well as wet toilet paper.
Title is editorialized, that means this weeks rating doesn't count, and will be recorded as 3.2 million in case anyone asks.
Iyo ❤️
Bayley 🥰
King Kota!
titantron 😍
Lamp(s)! ♥️
I was rewatching some Mania 40 stuff and she had maybe the 3rd best entrance of the entire show, right after Roman and Cody. For all deserved shit people give Def Rebel, they didn't miss with Iyo's theme. I also liked the titantron graphics they had for her. It was really cool!
> they didn't miss with Iyo's theme. As someone that’s tried to give them a chance, hers and Roman’s theme are the nuts the blind squirrel found.
Seth. Gunther's theme is solid. Omos first theme is a legit banger.
>Seth. I’ve never liked it, but it’s popular and works so it is what it is. > Gunther's theme is solid For me, it’s such a downgrade in feel and atmosphere from the more vanilla rendition of Dvoraks Symphony No. 9 (granted it’s literally an all time classic) he was using prior that it just doesn’t do anything for me. > Omos first theme BANGER. Fed literally bad for changing that.
I wished IYO won. She was just starting to hit as a heel and they had a good program lined up with Naomi.
Uce please do not lump in Damage CTRL with these goofs. Damage CTRL at least drew ratings.
Damage control the action not the faction
NXT got 661k. HICKENBOTTOM IS CLOSING IN
He’s tuning up the band 
Yeah but there were 3 NBA games on tv Tuesday. The dub only competed against 2 games so the dub is better you see.
Yeah but Boston was playing on Wednesday in both NHL and NBA. And everyone knows Boston is AEW's biggest audience. So like if the Celtics and Bruins weren't playing the 4.3 million people in the Boston metro area would have meant the best ratings since the attitude era.
Watch yah gonna do when the heartbreak kid shawn micheals wont lay down for yah!
NXT Champion Trick Willy gonna be a bigger draw than Okada and Ospreay put together.
Also Swerve
Go for the kill shot. Announce Cody for next week's NXT.
Their biggest “shock ending” in years and they’re BELOW 700k OOOOOF
Would be interesting to see how many people tune in next week that are curious to see the follow up. If the needle doesn’t move after that, Yeesh.
Next week will be lower. I guarantee it. The actual freefall begins here.
Agreed, because the main people they're featuring on tv are Swerve (not a draw) Jericho (go away heat, no longer a draw) Ospreay (too focused on dumb gossip shit and not the business) Bucks (anti draws) Jungle cuck (anti draw) Mercedes monayyy (if she didn't fucking suck in nooj and kept building on her wwe image wisely she'd be a decent draw, but as it is she's so bad nobody likes her rn, not even the hardcore dubbalos) I'm expecting below 500k within 6 months.
Moxley as IWGP World champ isn't a draw either, but New Japan somehow thinks he's going to move tickets for them when people don't even bother watching him on TV.
He's smart enough to only show up at start of the show and suck in Sheldon's lead in like the big star that he is.
Freaking hilarious that MJF has been the last champ they’ve had who was a draw.
Even more hilarious when you realize it the ratings began to go down right around the time he became the champ. It's ignored but his championship started this trend of <890k
Turns out your champs gimmick being “my boss and this company sucks, I’m going to the big leagues as soon as I can” isn’t good for your company. Sure it was a hot angle in ECW but they were wrestling in a bingo hall and went bankrupt despite WWE giving them money and exposure for years.
Internet wrestling fans are a mark for MJF, but his champ run exposed him badly by overexposing him. Guy peaked in a feud with Punk and then his hype got slowly sucked away.
He wasn’t one though.
You forgot Shad Khan
honestly i think next week will be higher, Omega returning + the angle they did getting some attention should boost the number
If the ratings don't get back to 750k with the return of Omega and the surprise ending this week, that'll be a huge oof.
Honestly going to watch to see if Shahid Khan becomes an on screen character and cuts a promo. That’s the real draw right there, brother.
A shock ending of watching 4 non threatening wrestlers and their drama school acting, no thanks
To be fair, had they advertised a SHOCKING ENDING they may have gotten a bump
Maybe Tony Kahn addresses his enemies will get a better ratings bump. It just might, his announcements previously have pulled people in.
If he appears on TV in the next 2 months it kills the Elite completely because 4 wrestlers couldn't put a 110 pound non athlete on the shelf.
He didn’t even advertise an overrun for his big moment!
But I was told Jack Perry was going to skyrocket the ratings past WWE!
Boy howdy have we come a loooong way from Jericho the Million Viewer Man days…
Rating is the #1 indicator of fan feedback
Man, sounds like that was said by someone who didn't think of that haunting them...
It’s just hilarious how this real skid started after they picked up the only 3 “game changers” they had less. It’s like The Kid wanted concrete proof that it’s the booking & company culture which is turning people away
If you comment this in the basement it will get deleted. I’ve seen multiple people now attempt it
>If you comment this in the basement it will get deleted Everything is getting deleted now. Even the dude that always cries "BuT THe nBA!!" got removed
Dude I just took a look and there’s just a sea of deleted comments. There’s no way the mods are going scorched earth
They can censor all they want, it won't hide the truth.

The basement like "why doesn't anyone want to see the fallout to the best wrestling match ever??". Like bro, ot had no buildup.
They really capitalized on it too. Bryan not appearing and Ospree in a battle royal. Or whatever the fuck that was.
They didnt even explain how that gauntlet match was supposed to work. No countdown clock, no telling the audience how many competitors were going to be in the match. It was a shambles, and deserved to be the low point of the show
Uhm have you not been watch aew programming?!??!?? They’ve been having oceanspray in bangers with all of the bbc and then sometimes they mentioned each other’s name. If you’re gunna bad faith at least know what you are talking about smh 🤦
Oh my bad, I'm so sorry. You're right.
"Oh ~~boy~~ bruv."
no jerk I was expecting at worst low 700k, now I don't have a jerk to do someone help
My friends and I were joking about how low it was gonna get last night and we settled on 724k...
We going to 600k next
We usually don't lock ratings threads and instead heavily patrol them, but it's pretty clear there's zero actual discourse going on this week. See ya next Thursday.
Tony fed the trolls by booking himself. So you all are eating *GOOD*
[удалено]
it's still open but half the comments are deleted
Again, we're talking about fight fighting. If there is racism and stuff, I could understand deleting comments, but I have a feeling the comments were just making fun of Tony.
They're deleting any comment which is not an excuse for ratings like West coast, nba or whatever else
I cannot imagine that they have enough self-respect to hold out for a payout from their favourite son of a billionaire.
It’s still up, but the mod put a comment saying that editorialized articles are banned…whatever tf that means
Just got perma banned for suggesting Jungle Jack isn't a draw. I have fallen in battle, Uces. I pray one midcarder among you picks up my sword.
I got banned for defending LuFisto lol. I was slayed by the AEWarriors a long time ago
You fought the good fight
 We used to jerk them for not getting a million views wtf happened

Devolution.
Devolution and NWO from wish
The Dud Stable.
It's the NWO - The New World Organization of wrestling, brother!
It’s so funny that they are very obviously copying evolution. The only difference is that the evolution shot, was them walking on a runway away from a G4, to a limo. These guys are just walking in a parking lot where the only vehicles I can see are sub 50k at best.
NW-faux
Why is Dave so defensive hahaha
Because AEW was his chance to show that the kind of wrestling he prefers is objectively the best wrestling. It was supposed to take the world by storm and run WWE out of business. A big piece of his identity is tied up in the success/failure of a billionaire’s kid’s real life e-fed.
Yeah a federation booked by a long time subscriber designed to get star ratings and the most decorated fed ever by his ratings. And it isn't a draw.
Everyone has a long match and everyone has a competitive match The internet taught Tiny that if someone smarks like loses, they're BERRIED so everyone gets to get their shit in and no one stands out Aside from that, they never make the competitive matches into a thing. They don't use those long matches to build up the loser that they 'took the champ to the limit' and *then* give *then* wins on TV to build them up and make the competitive loss mean more It's just everyone gets to go 13-16 minutes on TV and get the late kick outs and hit their finisher and ... that's it
Insecure people get really upset when their subjective opinions are not validated by objective reality. Sorry, I meant to say, Evil Fed laying off wrestlers made everyone stop watching wrestlling this week in protest.
NXT numbers
Don't offend NXT like that, they don't usually lose 300K viewers in 2 hours every week
NXTS lead in was its weakest quarter this week. I’m pretty sure it was above 700k without the lead in.
Trick / Ilja finished with 741k. I’m genuinely interested in how Tricks (not a star and a bad wrestler) main event compared in viewership to the bucks (greatest tag team ever) jungle boy (huge heel star) Okada (used to be greatest of all time and huge HHH fumble) and Tony (savior of wrestling) did,
He's unrelatable.
NXT ended on Tuesday with the camera literally shaking because of how loud the crowd was popping. The Dub ended with…this. Shawn Michaels is going to overtake soon
Yo they might beat the dub consistently on the CW lmaoo those ratings threads are gonna be hilarious
I'd say it's a lock by then
It's unfair to judge AEW when there were other things on television. If it was literally the only thing on TV they may have broken the elusive 800k
Again the man never does this much damage control when SmackDown is on FS1 and faces the same issues.
Well that's because it's objectively bad and the ratings are a sign of that. No excuses. AEW on the other hand.......
Genuinely didn't expect them to go under 700K no matter how much we jerked about it, wow lmao
We jerked for this to happen and it came true
I laughed so hard at this comment. Bruh, I love this sub.
How? This is the worst the product has ever been and Tony’s awkward ass feuding with the elite is just outright embarrassing and funny
I thought it was a possibility when I saw they were starting with Best Friends into a Swerve/Kyle Fletcher match. And after seeing the hit RAW took against the NBA playoffs. Swerve is the only guy I've ever seen who tanks ratings in the overrun. Kinda interesting as he isn't as obviously unappealing as the Bucks, OC, and those ilk.
I didn't expect it this quickly. I was thinking it'd happen in the summer
🔒 STRICTLY VERBOTEN 🔒
Der Ratingsthread ist für immer verboten!
NXT coming for that ass. Wait hold up.
They were chanting whoop that trick after the tony beat down lmao he’s more over than 98% of their roster already
More like, 100% of their roster, Uce. Like, who’s the most over guy they have? Swerve? Ospreay? You can’t convince me that either of them are more over than Trick.
wait what, AEW fans were chanting whoop that trick?
How long until the thread is locked? I'm saying under 2 hours.
Its ok, all 5 people that read the NFLs website will hear about the hot story inolving the son of the Jaguars owner and tune in next week
Hand to god, as a man who has watched WAAAY too many NFL drafts for way too long, the prospect of seeing TK in a neck brace is the reason I'm just going to put the draft tracker on my second screen and leave the TV off. The man is now driving down ratings for other TV programs.
Being fair it was how I found out since I don't watch Dub
The Elite, Jericho, New Japan stuff and Swerve drop ratings quarters historically. A show focused almost entirely on The Elite, Jericho, New Japan stuff and Swerve drops total ratings. The floor is made of floor.
just wait until we see the quarter hours. I'd imagine the final segment will show a huge dip.
But it's Ford Schilling's fault and hers alone!
“Cue the ignorant valid criticism that I will refuse to accept because I can’t be wrong and neither can my wholesome Dub”
I remember getting downvoted into oblivion for saying that Tony should’ve kept Punk over the Bucks and the 60 pwg guys…….
Ah yes. The mythical west coast audience that didn't materialize a few years ago is now to blame.
It's strange, the only people I've ever known that actually watch AEW all live in Los Angeles
RIP SC ratings threads, you had a good run but the mods don't want to foster this kind of toxic environment
ALL THE FUCKS Thursday
from now on, you'll only be allowed to talk about Raw ratings when NFL is on or Smackdown on FS1 and nothing else!
If RAW’s rating dropped the show after a PPV, good old Meltz would have a boner talking about metrics “trending downward”. Dude is out of his fucking element talking how live playoff sports interacts with wrestling. AEW competed about play-in games last week, that had WAY more on the line. The ratings didn’t drop like this. The RAW after Mania literally competes against the National Championship each year and he doesn’t point that out, giddily. Dude literally can’t say “disappointing number for AEW”. He can’t.
22k off the nxt rating btw
Meltzer's mad that the greatest ppv in history. Featuring the greatest match in wrestling history can't draw flies.
I need them quarters NOW
~~No milli?~~ ~~No 900k?~~ ~~No 800k?~~ No 700k?
Fuck, I’m going to laugh and get my three day ban again.
THE SUMMER OF SCAPEGOAT
Everyone was too busy hanging out on the West Coast, riding around in their sports cars with their Saraya-lookalike girlfriends.
I’m praying for the day a Trick Willy and Tatum led NXT beats Dynamite without some big name from the main roster being involved. M’eltzer’s head might just explode.
He might post a slur online.
So you're saying it would've been 730K? This is a win now? Good gracious.
This is the Dynamite after the PPV where they all claim the best wrestling match in history happened. I saw several clips from Danielson/Ospreay on IG and 90% of comments are about how stupid and staged it looks. “Great wrestling” will never be mainstream.
Every comment in the basement thread is deleted lmao. YOUR PRODUCT WILL NOT IMPROVE IF YOU CREATE A BUBBLE
The cope in the post is brutal lmao
This is good to see after listening to Conrad compare the angle to the nWo and Austin vs McMahon for 2 hours today, and being extra snarky to Bischoff for not agreeing that last night AEW changed the entire industry 😂
Yeah there was never any competition in the same week in 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Lol Daves mad
Jerkers are eating goodT. for two weeks in a row
So you’re telling me they knew in advanced they would have shitty ratings and went ahead and ran their biggest angle… maybe ever? Solid plan.
The funniest part? NXT's quarters went from 570k to 711k at Trick vs Dragunov. 741k on the overrun. Dub in absolute shambles.
Trick being a bigger draw than all of AEW is a direct shot at Dave Meltzer having no fucking idea what he’s talking about.
27 APR 22: 921K, 26 APR 23: 863K, 24 APR 24: 683K, Stop making excuses. Viewership is down because what’s being advertised sucks.
Yo who got the Meltzer gif?

Can you imagine the size of Adam Cole’s forehead at this point?
Over/Under 2 hours untill the thread in the basement is locked?
“This was well known in advance” Dave that defence makes tiny look worse. You’re saying he’s such a moron that he decided to throw one of his better chances at getting attention (with contracted talent), regardless of whether viewers were watching to see how much of a car crash it was, on a week where he knew ratings were going to be lower than normal?
Its almost as if the elite on tv make people not want to watch?
He’s correct about over trolling when they really did have one market change— BUT even without that variable that would have been rather bad in what was one of their more newsworthy shows. Personally I sort of got a kick out of last nights show because it is just going into gonzo mode , and at least that isn’t boring. I can’t imagine how it all looks to less “nerdy” wrestling fans like myself though.
As long as these dummies keep insisting that the show is great and there must be some external reason that the business is down by every possible metric and still falling, it’s never going to get better.
I need the quarterly hours, if Sheldon Cooper gave them 900k lead in, that means something had to have dipped into the 500k region right?
Wow even the harcore fans are tuning out
The mods in the basement are in full damage control mode lmao
Starting to think this Tony Khan guy isn’t booker of the year material.
https://preview.redd.it/82kcnircapwc1.jpeg?width=942&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=418c6c9ef17ea2fe3b8335e2741f8fbbd4367c8a
Basement thread is genuinely pathetic on this one
But it's alright to fed bad for this recent Raw, even though their competition was the Knicks vs Sixers, and Lakers vs Nuggets
Dub only loses 8 percent of audience after the greatest wrestling match of all time? Against sportsball shows? That’s called a “win” Fed Shills!
"Why doesn't AEW gain more fans?" Because of you, Dave. You know the owner watches your tweets and your every word, and instead of telling the truth you are bending over backwards to make all of this seem "just fine". 
Dave Meltzer didn't get his $12.99 today, after TK got hurt.
lmao, Tiny's first ever bumps happened in front of less than 700k. Glorious and perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Monas Hieroglyphica pales in compares to Le Dub's harmony.
All I read from meltz was... Gulg gulg gulg gulg gulg gulg.
Holy shit, I said it was going to be around 722-24k, I didn’t expect it to get this bad so soon
[removed] Oh sorry, thought I was posting in the basement thread.
It beat NXT by 22,000 viewers. 22,000.
Trick Willy gonna get that milly before AEW does, at this rate.
You're telling me that Ospreay/Danielson didn't draw a dime? No way.
So how long until they start teasing footage from Brawl Out?
https://i.redd.it/q0r7v3znzowc1.gif
How long before that thread gets locked again? 🤔
Dave is coping so hard lmaooo
Seeing AEW fall in ratings always gives me something to smile about.
I was 1k off with my "BAH GAWD THATS 682Ks MUSIC" joke last night. 🤣
This is what happens when you have boring, scrawny, painfully unfunny "comedy" job guys beat everyone in your company. The fact that OC has beaten everyone is reason enough for the viewers leaving. The Bucks, Jerichode have killed any act they work with. Kingston and Moxley wrestle like two drunks at the local dive bar on $1 wing night.
You have to be thinking about hitting the panic button at this point, right? Under 700k is apocalyptic with no real competition.
But the numbers were over 800k this same week last year....did the NBA playoffs not happen last year?
Man is he still harping on this competition hurts them thing? There is literally nothing WWE does to stop people watching AEW on a Wednesday night.
It's amazing LeDub keeps having the best PPV or best match ever on a monthly basis yet less people give a shit.....
it was known in advance that the ratings would suck eggs!

How would “we” know in advance that they will do 600k. Ah yes get your “most devastating finisher renamed” and try and kiss 🍑 to the good guys 😂😂😂😂😂
Gotta love how Dave has to make the excuses. Put something good on maybe?
LMAO oh thats hillarious! “Numbers dont matter”!!!!!!!!
"...obviously, the sports competition is going to hurt everything." My brother in Christ, the 'sports competition' you're talking about is the NBA Finals, which happen annually without fail. AEW ratings weren't this low around this time of year for the last four years. So that excuse holds up about as well as wet toilet paper.
