NXT vs AEW Ratings Thread

[JerseyBoy23]

Adam Cole...Cody ain't exactly a great promo either so I'll also say Finn Balor.

Cole ever cut a promo better than the Cody promo from last month that was universally praised?

Best promo guy in NXT is Dream who I’m surprised is still NXT.

I don't watch enough NXT to say but I've seen plenty of posters say Cole is a good promo. That Cody promo is the 1st good promo I've ever heard from him. I also don't see many promos in NXT when I watch, definitely not lengty ones.

Some of y'all missed the point of this. The point of it is if you ask 100 random people, more people will likely know who Roman Reigns is versus who Kenny Omega is.

By a very small margin though. I just don’t see millions of people that watch wwe but has no idea what AEW is. There hasn’t been ‘internet wrestling fans’ that’s separate from casual wrestling fans in about 20 years

Cody has posted many of his best promo work on YouTube which is admittedly a mistake in retrospect

Adam Cole is better in every way & doesn't have the abilty to book himself to do whatever he fells like. Only arguement you could make is Cody being more over & even then both of them are going head to head & both their shows combined do less than the 3rd hour of Raw.

Meltzer gave Cole vs Gargano at TakeOver New York 5.5 stars a month before & TakeOver XXV 5.25 stars a month after Cody vs Dustin

The last part is a very good point, though Gargano is probably damaged goods now alongside Ciampa. I think Adam Cole is the only person in NXT that’s a discussion. Io Shirai is the best wrestler in NXT, followed by Cole. I consider Matt Riddle to be green. Given that he’s 34 next month, clocks ticking. Keith Lee is kinda green and he’s 35. Dream is green and 24 but he has a fukked up back. I think the future main event stars in nxt that aren’t green should be Swerve and Garza. But ya know

Adam Cole needed main roster help to do better ratings than Cody and Jericho I'm just sayin

Wwe crowds look like more various types of people maybe more kids
Aew crowd shots look like a sausage fest with a bunch of dudes wearing eyeglasses and a few punk rock hot topic looking chicks maybe
Doesnt seem like a "revolution".

I watch both shows. I don't care about the ratings.

I'm not talking about polling wrestling fans. If you asked 100 random people, more will know who Reigns is than know who Omega is. Obviously some of those people will be wrestling fans.

Folks have got to knock it off with this talk of casuals when wrestling doesn't have casual fans like that in 2019. The business overall is ice cold in terms of cultural relevancy and being held up almost exclusively by dedicated older fans.

WWE fans in general are casuals of the sport.

 

[Wacky D]

There are a couple things I want to criticize AEW for

1. Lucha Bros or Private Party should have won the tag titles. I like that it was used as a vehicle to get Scorpio over and shyt but Daniels and Kazarian suck now. Old guys trying to be 'cool' will never be fukking cool. Scorp needs to drop them.

I don't see how you can call out SCU being tag champs but have no complaints about Jericho.

reddit cac is really yall go to when nikkas say anything that isn't praising AEW which is comedy because AEW's stanbase is literally the hardcorest of hardcore fans. nikkas who buy wrassling action figures and replica belts. you nikkas literally ARE the reddit cars

Cody's entire gimmick is "I'm not here because of my name but I'm gonna make sure you know I'm Dusty's kid in every possible way as often as possible, also hey remember WCW? My Dad did all that so now I am too".

 

[The Solid One]

Cody had a 5 star match

Green to the WWE style or just green in general? I think Lee is big enough that he'll get a push anyway and Dream is homegrown so he's good.

Io might be the in the discussion for BITW but don't know how many people will agree with that.
