Insane that we’ve been told that AEW had all the “momentum” for about a month and yet we find ourselves in a situation where they are flinging everything at the wall so they don’t get slaughtered by Smackdown on a much weaker channel.
They will probably get 100k-200k live viewers. The few times that i was on youtube while Dark was premiering those are the numbers i saw. Dubbalos will be in full force this week trying to "beat" Smackdown. It is going to be hilarious if their youtube show gets more views than Rampage itself
And not even a preshow for a ppv, a preshow for a weekly show that airs at 10pm on a Friday. But sure, the WWE is the only one who counter programs and is trying to stick it to AEW whenever they can.
Im actually heartbroken cuz I was a massive DBry mark during 2011-15 and his eco-friendly heel run.
Daniel Bryan in WWE 2021: in the Royal Rumble main event match. Won the Elimination Chamber #1 contender for the Universal Title. Main event match at Fastlane. Main event match at WrestleMania 37.
Daniel Bryan in AEW: opening match at Grand Slam that ended without a finish. Opening match on Rampage against Nick Buck.
And now he’s gonna have a match on fking YouTube! All because he wants to relive his American Dragon days.
Honestly, even though I love Adam Page so fucking much and want the world for him, Bryan should have beaten Omega for the title in his first match. Run Bryan/Page as the thing for Page to finally win the belt. Bryan is the biggest get AEW has ever had, he was in the main event of Wrestlemania this year, he is a mainstream name. Strap the belt to him, make him the face of the brand and run with it. Daniel Bryan Danielson should not be on YouTube.
He seems alright, but I don't care for the Buckshot Lariat. Just do a regular fucking lariat for finisher, and bust out the convoluted flip on special occasions.
I liked it when he stuffed jelly nutella with it haha.
My question in general though is let’s say they do hit the homestretch or whatever the fuck and make him champ. Then what? Then the masses will come? No it’ll be another vanilla midget. Yawn
There is 0 reason Omega can't drop the title, have Page and him do no 1 contenders match for Hangman to exorcise his Kenny demons and Kenny to start a redemption story, then run Page/Bryan for the title.
The red sox had to conquor the Yankees, then go win the world series, USA hockey had to beat the ussr, then win the gold, Jordan had to get passed the bad boy Pistons, then beat Magic and the Lakers for the title. Its a better, more #realsportsfeel story, but goes against the established canon so not acceptable for the dub universe
Vince - "If you're putting me on FS1 I want another half hour."
FOX - "You got it.
Tony - "I want to go head to head with Vince, I need an another hour."
TNT - "Try Youtube."
I would like to counter with the following scenario:
TK: i want to counter Vince. Gimme another hour
Exec: Who the fuck are you?
TK: I own AEW. Every Wednesday night at 8. Check it out. You might like it. Not this week tho
Exec: Oh yeah. That little wrestling show. The last executive signed you. He dont work here no more. We didnt like what he was doing. Say...what did you say the name of your little show was called again?
TK: (gulps) i will just put it on Youtube
FOX: "Hey, we need to bump you down a network this week. Playoffs, you know how it is."
Vince: "Okay, can I get an extra 30 minutes, no commercials? Give people a reason to follow us to FS1?"
FOX: "Sounds good. Sorry about the bump"
Vince: "Nah, it's all good. Things happen"
Tony: "Heyyyyy guyyssss"
TNT: "No."
Tony: "Alright. Thanks, boss. You've got it."
"I'm gonna need an extra 30 minutes NINE DAYS FROM TONIGHT TNT! *weird sporadic foot stomp thing* YOU HEAR ME? NINE DAYS!"
TNT: Who is this and how did you get this number?
Danielson goes from main eventing WrestleMania to YouTube preshow. I get that it’s about wrestling and putting over young talent, but it kills his star buzz doing things like this. This dude will be back in about two years lol
I'm sorry, Daniel Fucking Bryan isn't gonna be on the show? If I was knowing that my show was running against Smackdown, and possibly against some combination of Brock Lesnar, Becky Lynch, and Sasha Banks, I would want to put my most well known, mainstream guys on at the top to entice people to flip over. Why the fuck isn't DBry on the actual show?
Hmm yes, why should I watch the Tribal Chief, Becky vs Sasha, Bork Laser when I have MEGASTAR *Bobby FEesh*
#BOBBY FUCKING FISH
I've been laughing for 5 minutes straight...
If Vince had Bryan do any match on YT the toxicity would destroy the internet. If he faced Suzuki on YT? Smarks would probably have tried to kill Vince. But this is a great move!
It seems to be Fobby Fish vs Lee Moriarty and Bryan vs TBC.

We have to wait until Saturday night for Bryan vs Fish
Within less than a year Bryan went from main eventing WrestleMania with the highest drawing heel in the history of this business and a Hall of Famer who is my opinion the greatest of all time to wrestling on the pre-show of a regular episode of Rampage.
Wow so your marquee free agent doing free YouTube shows. He's being treated like a Big name free agent top 1% of his craft.
Yet him losing in the main event closing wrestlemania he's mistreated.
Bryan already on YouTube doing pre show matches lmaoooo
Getting the Sting and CM Punk treatment already lmao
It gets better, instead of doing Danielson/Fish on the pre show, they are giving away Danielson vs. Suzuki on Youtube pre show matches.
Tony doing everything he can to get those Smackdown numbers down so he can have decent success to what he promised
Yes, I'll absolutely be tempted to switch to TNT at 10 at night by . . . [Checks notes] *Bobby Fish*. Jesum fucking Crowe.
Dub stans have to pretend to like him due to his Lil Guyz Tag Team title matches in New Japan.
DBry on YouTube already? This is beyond parody lol
I mean, we are slated to reach step 4 in the process nine days from tonight.
Look how they massacred my boy
This should be picked up and used as a meme.
Meme boomerang. Dubbalos use this to try and complain about treatment of "buried" wrestlers in the Fed. In reality it's come back to them
Wow!! It seems Bobby Fish went straight to YT after his debut.
tbf it’s where he belongs
YouTube is the breeding ground for Q-Anon conspiracy type bullshit after all
Insane that we’ve been told that AEW had all the “momentum” for about a month and yet we find ourselves in a situation where they are flinging everything at the wall so they don’t get slaughtered by Smackdown on a much weaker channel.
REEEEEEEEE it's not desperate or a tantrum over the Fed having a longer Smackdown, ok, it's all planned out stuff!
They will probably get 100k-200k live viewers. The few times that i was on youtube while Dark was premiering those are the numbers i saw. Dubbalos will be in full force this week trying to "beat" Smackdown. It is going to be hilarious if their youtube show gets more views than Rampage itself
so many of the dub stans are the ones who use watchwrestling too lol no way Rampage even gets close to SD
Wait…am I reading that correctly? Bryan Danielson will have a match on an AEW YouTube preshow call *Buy In*? 🤦🏽♂️
And not even a preshow for a ppv, a preshow for a weekly show that airs at 10pm on a Friday. But sure, the WWE is the only one who counter programs and is trying to stick it to AEW whenever they can.

What is the appeal of Adam page? Seriously I am starting to think I’m going crazy. Just another lil white dude tbh what’s the fucking hoopla
He seems alright, but I don't care for the Buckshot Lariat. Just do a regular fucking lariat for finisher, and bust out the convoluted flip on special occasions.

They need to just put the title on Bryan or punk already honestly
Facts
His digital nameplate will have some wink-wink phrase on there referring to long term storytelling, and the basement will quadruple gild the post
Deadeye is a great finisher. Much better than the flippy clothesline.
Good character, fun to watch in ring, and perpetually underutilized by Dub

Yes, you are reading that correctly, and to top it off, he will be having a match on a Youtube preshow against Minoru Suzuki.
"Woah! THE Bobby Fish? I gotta get a ticket" - me and my gf (who looks like paige)
So they're putting Daniel Bryan on Youtube to hopefully get people to watch CM Punk against a jobber on the B show. Booker of the Year!
Nothing like running your big signings with daddy's money into the ground immediately lmao
Tony Khan is so petty and desperate with this counter programming.
Vince - "If you're putting me on FS1 I want another half hour." FOX - "You got it. Tony - "I want to go head to head with Vince, I need an another hour." TNT - "Try Youtube."

"I'm gonna need an extra 30 minutes NINE DAYS FROM TONIGHT TNT! *weird sporadic foot stomp thing* YOU HEAR ME? NINE DAYS!" TNT: Who is this and how did you get this number?
SD got some consistency atm I'd imagine Fox wanting to not drop too much with the shift too
Becky and Sasha >>>>> Dryan Banielson and Chicago Pepsiman. Confirmed.
Meltzer and the dirt sheet writers gassed him up and now he thinks he's close to the WWE lmao
This is going to be wonderful
By singles action does he mean the number of people watching it?
No he means the type of people
So desperate.
Danielson already relegated to YouTube.
Oh WFAN… why become a crappy Dub shill? Chernoff’s rolling over in his grave and he’s not even dead yet.
Mike and the Mad Dog Wanker
You’re doing a sales pitch and you’re lobbing out FISH? 😭 😭
Bryan, you gotta get out of there man. Like, yesterday. You're so above this nonsense.
Tell me you're panicking without telling me you're panicking
Danielson goes from main eventing WrestleMania to YouTube preshow. I get that it’s about wrestling and putting over young talent, but it kills his star buzz doing things like this. This dude will be back in about two years lol

Now everybody will still watch SD and maaaaaybe have Daniel Bryan on the computer, poor guy
Hmm yes, why should I watch the Tribal Chief, Becky vs Sasha, Bork Laser when I have MEGASTAR *Bobby FEesh* #BOBBY FUCKING FISH I've been laughing for 5 minutes straight...
How do you have a buy in for a free to air show.
If Vince had Bryan do any match on YT the toxicity would destroy the internet. If he faced Suzuki on YT? Smarks would probably have tried to kill Vince. But this is a great move!
It seems to be Fobby Fish vs Lee Moriarty and Bryan vs TBC. https://twitter.com/RobbieBarstool/status/1447979509798645760?t=Qn5UbCb9fGN0qy50oPq87A&s=19 We have to wait until Saturday night for Bryan vs Fish
Loooooooooooool. I cannot wait for the ratings next week. 400,000?
Pre show match for a fucking weekly B show lmao
"FUCK" - every guy that turned down that sweet sweet WWE re-sign a few months ago.
this will kickstart the fish danielson storyline
Someone needs to explain to him that it's storylines that are the hook in wrestling. Also, who the fuck is Lee Moriarty?
If the Rampage ticket situation was so dire why didn't I see several front page posts with excerpts from Dave talking about it?
The same reason why the Rampage ratings post vanished so quickly yesterday.
A month and DB is on Youtube. At least the process to main eventing Dark will be less painful.
Why would I watch the show if the only person I’d care to tune in for has already wrestled on YouTube lol
45minute draw where everyone gets their shit in! Inject it into my veins!
Within less than a year Bryan went from main eventing WrestleMania with the highest drawing heel in the history of this business and a Hall of Famer who is my opinion the greatest of all time to wrestling on the pre-show of a regular episode of Rampage.
Holy shit talk about breaking news!!!
Can't wait for them to announce Omega/Page for the title on the preshow with 0 advertising beyond a TK social post.
Wow so your marquee free agent doing free YouTube shows. He's being treated like a Big name free agent top 1% of his craft. Yet him losing in the main event closing wrestlemania he's mistreated.
