NXT vs AEW Ratings Thread

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

at the difference in coverage between AEW & WWE ratings, shyt will never fail to be hilarious

Context matters. AEW is a startup that most people said was destined to fail. WWE is the worldwide leader in sports entertainment and has been around for 60+ years.

It's not unique to wrestling. Nicki Minaj puts out an album that does 200k first week and people call it a flop. Meg the Stallion does half of that and people say it's a big number.

Context doesn't matter at all in this discussion though which is why it's so retarded. It's people comparing 2 shows on 2 different nights while avoiding any context to push an angle because they like one over the other based on numbers that haven't even shown to be a trend yet. It's happened everytime AEW pops a number higher than usual before they usually go back to the norm.

Music acts also aren't putting something new out every week & most of the top acts tend to try to avoid one another so that comaprison doesn't even work.

Yeah people dont understand that demos are trends as well as potential advertising dollars. The attitude era made so much money because of fans in that age range watching. It opened the door for companies other than Domino's and fukking Stridex to be sponsors. It also tell you who is likely to be rocking with your brand in the near future so it works two fold. Im actually curious how Smackdown is doing vs RAW in that demo now

God damn. I flipped to it a few times and that shyt looked super trash. I don’t see how people watch that shyt every Monday.

I can’t even tell you the last time I watched an entire ep of Raw or SD; even AEW. I can’t imagine wasting 8-12 hours a week on shows when you can easily read the results, pick out something that’s interest you and stream it. Even PPVs aren’t the same for me.

Imagine having Sting, Jericho, Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Rusev, Cody Rhodes, MJF, OC, FTR, Pentagon & Fenix, SCU, Adam Page and Matt Hardy

and you can only beat the show featuring Austin Theory, Tyler Rust, Shotzi, Kyle O’Reilly, Pete Dunne, Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm by 40K

In other words, Tony Khan wasted millions of dollars on Sting for nothing.. that is why he shall forever be known as the MONEY MARK!

AEW won again.

NXT increases views, yet loses overall, and these cornballs start losing their shyt like Jesus is coming.

wasted no time moving the goal posts


Bu bu bu but only by 40K. WWE is a whole global machine and brand out here with like 20x the followers of AEW all over social media and getting sparked by a year old company with this week most people saying was a “light” AEW card.

Meltzer compared the Omega angle to Hogan joining the nWo and Austin/Tyson the other week
