I had no idea AEW was ever averaging a million. thought they've been stuck around the 900's since NXT moved, and every milly was outliers around the time they had those massive debuts.. I thought ratings always immediately fell right back in place once the big moment passed.


but if they were bringing in a milly for months or whatever ya'll saying, and not just some here and there shyt.. I stand corrected :leon:


RAW must have been down bad if they were losing to 1.1 million in viewership. what were they averging?

Raw was still doing overall viewership was like 1.5-1.8 million. But this where the demo talk came in that had everyone up in arms and had people thinking excuses were being made. AEW was either tying or getting more 18-49 viewers. People who were always reporting the ratings like that were being thought of schills even though from the links I showed thats how it always was.

comparing ratings for Raw in the fall to Dynamite is laughable when Raw is going up against the biggest thing on all of TV and Dynamite is going up against some shyt like Real Housewives or the MTV Challenge

Advertising and licensing fees from the cable/satellite companies are how the channels make money. The advertisers care about the demo ratings. The TV channel companies aren't going to keep something on TV if it doesn't generate the advertising money they need
Like I said, Wrestling fans are seen as low class humans who don't spend money. This is why wrestling companies as a whole don't get the big money advertisers. Why should wrestling fans care about demos? We're not advertisers so it's meaningless. Tony should've been spending his time trying to make his product better for advertisers, instead of fangirling over bitter ass past their prime relics.

I like Punk, but he will never be satisfied. Also ratings wise it seems he doesn't move the needle much for them since AEW lock TNA pretty much have their core fans locked down, but are struggling to capture growth in ratings.

People are over Punk. You can't be gone for 7yrs and expect to a top draw, that only happens to the real stars in the business.

Punk in a way kind of reminds me of DJ Quik. Both are very talented at their profession, who don't feel like they get the respect they deserve (it's a damn shame that Quik isn't talked about publicly in the same sentence as Dr. Dre) but they get in their own way when it comes to business. Punk reverting to Sourpuss Punk if someone makes any reference that has a chance to apply to him and Quik having regular falling outs with his crew, only to make up with them and then fall out with them again.
Nah He's more like Lupe Fiasco... Both debuted and got really noticed really around the time period(05-06), Both went through trials and tribulations to where the industry left them bitter(Lupe with Atlantic, Punk with the WWE) Both were truly ahead of their time and opened up doors for the new crop of talent(Lupe for Kendrick, Drake, J Cole) (CM Punk for the current crop of wrestlers), Both feel they aren't apperciated and respected.. Both has said publicly idiotic shyt(Like Lupe when he said Obama cant debate a drug dealer or Punk when he said Bryan and Adam Cole's debuts were bigger than The Outsiders)

Both have this whole self pseudo know it all smarky type of personality that rubs many the wrong way, Both Chicagoans, Both have a straight up cult weirdo stan base that see themselves through them , Both are great at what they do when motivated,
