This is pretty cool

I definitely don't think they should care about the comparison, caring about your numbers individually is different tho and I don't think that would be bad to be mindful of. Def not really a wrestlers job to worry about tho either way

I think ''care more about satisfying WBD'' implies they do care about individual numbers they just dont give a fuck to compare to wwe anymore. which is a good thing that i think a lot of ppl outside the fandom has been asking for

 

[Cwalker]

I don’t think they should worry about WWE.

But I think upper management should be thinking about how to increase their numbers.

 

[Chris]

To an extent but I don't even think you should focus on that over anything else bc that just results in hot shotting for numbers. It's gradual promotion and advertising that will take time to even show improvements once they're doing it all right. I think attendance should be the first of the number priorities

 

[Comrade Khan]

what makes you think they aren't?

This is why I get frustrated lol, they can't say something positive without ''pundits'' somehow spinning it into a ''herp derp they need to increase their numbers'' like no fucking shit? Just wait until it simulcasts on MAX and young people fuck off from cable even more lol

I can't wait for rating discourse to die, it's like impossible to have good faither discussion lol

great

and my message was pointed at Cwalker because I am growing very, very tired of the ''concern trolling'' for lack of a better term. Maybe he doesn't do it on purpose but my goodness does it ever come off as condescending

Attendance should be. You’re absolutely right. I wasn’t recommending hotshotting things on a weekly basis. More so just saying putting a focus on how to get back the lapsed audience.

Which I’m sure they’re already doing.

You just gotta read that last Moxley interview to see it really. I know everyone doesn't wanna be worked, but I can't fathom how you think any of that interview was kayfabe lol Moxley is one of those weird dudes, he knows what he does is scripted but it's "real" he doesn't play a character lol

Attendance has seen slight improvements too fwiw, basically since they started plugging full cards in advance again. It's not great numbers but a couple markets have improved since when they were there 6 months to a year prior and I feel like that's the stats that have to be looked at since they no longer have a lot of first time places they should go (at least in America)

That’s good to hear. Even a small uptick is a move in the right direction
