How hilarious is it that less people COMBINED are watching NXT/AEW than RAW or SD on a bad week

[Larry]

I’m lookin at last weeks total viewers and..

AEW: 828,000
NXT: 712,000

Combined: 1,540,000

RAW: 2,402,000
Smackdown: 2,470,000





It’s quiet for Wednesday’s b. Y’all told me it was a new boom period



Coke boy doing all time lows and still stomping the supposed competition. Ridiculous.

 

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

No one said its a boom period.

No one said its a boom period.

nikka, yes y’all did lmao



the beard agenda was heavy in these streets, don’t lie to me now that the numbers lookin funny in the light

 

[Rayzah]

Like I keep saying until AEW creates a big star and has a big angle it will stay at that number. The IWC doesn’t like to admit it but fukkery >>flips and “real wrestling”

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

folks here definitely was saying it was a boom period because more wrestling was being featured impact/nwa/wwe/aew/njpw

add in that viceland show...

the correct way would be to say wrestling is far more accessible than ever with a variety of options, but wrestling won't increase in popularity.

 

[ALTRUISM]

Raw & Smackdown have a 20 year staple lead. It's like choosing between McDonald's or that new joint that opened last year.

Another thread about ratings in 2020. You could have simply posted this in the AEW versus NXT ratings thread.

fukk you mean "y'all"? I know for sure i never said any shyt like that and nor have I given a shyt about ratings going back to the Raw vs SD stan wars.

AEW just renegotiated a new deal for 3 years and a new show. NXT is supposedly putting on a great show week after week. Both shows are doing fine.

Raw is down over 50% in viewership since 2010 and youre touting that as success vs two shows that havent been on cable for half a year yet?

Ok breh

No folks said it could LEAD to a boom period which, while wrong I understand the enthusiasm. Companies were finally starting to show some balls against Vince. It is good for the industry. But dont act like people were talking about attitude era numbers in here

Lmao I love how y’all create y’all own narratives to argue against


What success am I touting?


This isn’t a pro Smackdown/RAW thread, it’s literally just the truth.. no matter how hard you try to spin it, RAW and Smackdown at literally their lowest point still stomps the other two shows


“Bu but 20 years”


New shows are coming out and drawing huge audiences every fukkin week. Stop it..


We know TNT is happy with AEW’s numbers. I never disputed that. I just stated a fact. It’s okay to admit that ya’ll got overzealous at the thought of Vince falling and got too ahead of yourselves


It’s OKAY brehs.

How is Smykedown only breaking even with Raw with a 300 million person built in audience?

 

[Breh Obama]

There was never anything truly groundbreaking about AEW. It's just another regular wrestling promotion to casual fans.

 

[Tres Leches]

Almost as hilarious as AEW getting extension for 2023 while wwe stock plummets

 

[Metal Face]

That old fogey demo helping the E big time

 

[SpacelySprockets]

there will never be a boom period until (relatable) black performers are prominently featured as the faces of the company in the vein of roman/seth/charlotte/becky
