It's all a conspiracy to make a bad number look worse

Tbh unless there's an increase when NXT ends after the first hour I probably wouldn't even say a lot picked that over AEW, still unsure if there's a lot of crossover bc there never seemed to be when they were head to head before. I think it's just more people not watching AEW, yes maybe bc they forgot the night or maybe they just don't watch wrestling on Tuesdays and AEW isn't going to make them change around their schedule at the moment

The 300k that watched AEW didn't seem to be 300k that watched NXT last week bc their number was identical so maybe the crossover is about 200k max I guess

I'm sorry, it genuinely hurts to be basically called a troll but I guess it's on me

I'll take some for not reading the headline bc your post makes more sense with it, but the annoying part is being thrown this defense against the "AEW is perfectly fine, nothing is wrong" narrative that I know others say, but literally last night I'm pretty sure more than half the chat was Jeff and I talking about things the company needed to improve bc the attendance being atrocious started it

I wasn't even commenting on any sort of narrative, there wasn't any commentary aside from me going after the Torch's headline

It's genuinely confusing and distressing to be accused of trolling when I'm just posting info and genuine stuff, I'd love to know what I can do to not seem like one

I don't think you are one so I don't have anything to offer there. And genuine thoughts can still annoy me for the record lol this is a tangent and not about you, I think you're smart, but we accuse some people of trolls a lot when they're just not bright and these are sadly real thoughts :lol

I mean reserving your thoughts on the weekly show to anything else but a single post about a wrestking writers opinion instead of literally anything else would be where I'd start

It was mostly steady after the opening quarter where they had a big dip

as a side note, i think it is funny to even care about ratings outside your own country and I include myself in that. a lot of people even in the US watch online and it will continue skewing that way so ultimately as long as the company gets paid it's kind of a meaningless statistic how many ppl with boxes watch the show on avergae

only thing that really matters is the ranking, hence why they got paid despite numbers being down. and in a few months rating wont matter at all with wwe and aew going streaming

It will indeed be refreshing when statistics that people can manipulate to suit their own needs go out the window

...unless people are going to start comparing Netflix subscribership numbers vs. MAX subscribership numbers and project that on the success of WWE/AEW. Shit I never thought of that. That's going to be so stupid

I can for sure tell you some will try. I can also tell you that aew still will need to figure out a way to get hot again. They might b stuck waiting for wwe to slip up unless they can start stringing together multiple hit angles back to back without dropping stuff. I think cycles and burnouts are normal and cyclical but I also think they need to be more consistent and make dynamite feel more can't miss on a weekly basis.
