NXT vs AEW Ratings Thread

[Vεnεficα]

I'm actually not worrying about the EVPs if things go badly. They're getting paid salary and benefits for the next 5 years even if it shuts down.

It's the rest of the roster I'd worry about cause WWE ain't signing everyone if they close down.

They just started they're not going out of business at least not anytime soon imo.

 

[OVER]

1. The Elite need to stop jobbing themselves out. This ain't a Jarrett situation where the audience was mearly dealing with Jarrett they're actually the most over people on their shows, now I think it was for the best that none of them were the inaugral champions but they have been more generous than needed.
2. Rhio drops the belt, if they want to protect her have her get cheated.
3. Orange Cassidy shows up more freqently
4. Add a midcard belt
5. Have Tony Khan throw out Cody not being able to compete for the belt stipulation on the grounds that MJF purposely screwed Cody over. Start the show with the announcement and give Cody a rematch the next week and have MJF ruine the match again. This just helps to get rid of that stip and add more heat to the Cody vs Mjf feud that they had to cool off..
6. Some of the gimmicky people aren't working. Honestly The Dark Order and the Freddie Mecury cosplayer make me fast forward highlights.
7. Wins and losses mattering already.

I wonder if/when AEW will go into desperate booking mode...and how would that look like for them.

We know how it looks for WWE, they do it at least 3-4 times a year

What does WWE/NXT do that's so much better than AEW?

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

They need to shake it up fast. The fans aren’t buying the booking.

Why would marty scrull sign to fukkn jabronis lmaoo

 

[LastManStanding]

they can’t, NXT ratings ain’t impressive either


795k ain’t shyt to celebrate

For a THIRD brand it absolutely is. NXT is the WWE’s minor league (no matter how hard they try and say other wise). So Drawing 750k+ every week in the ratings is good when you consider that.

Nxt

Doesnt do Botches weekly
Doesnt do goofy raw or SD segments(aew has done it)
Takeovers ppvs
Doesnt do lucha tags where they bury the ref
Better wrestling
Better womens division
Very low amount of goofy shyt in nxt(fandango and breeze tag team)
Storylines( ex gargano cost finn the belt as revenge to cont the story)

Idk about the World Series but Thanksgiving was legit though. The ratings went right back to normal the week after.

I haven’t watched either show live for ages. I don’t really watch NXT apart from the Takeover shows on occasion. AEW I watched but it became something I felt like I could catch up on and not watch live because a lack of surprises, and seemed like some ish was getting repeated. To make me watch live I want excitement, entertainment and unpredictability. I want stories that I can be interested to find out what happens next and some surprises help too. I think they need to find a better balance.

I don't know because most of their booking so far has been all over the place. They start something & it ends in 3 weeks or it just drifts off into something different without any kind of resolution one way or the other. Their booking isn't cohesive at all & it seems like stuff is working on different timelines because the rushed into some stuff.

Cody seems like the one guy there that really looks at what he's doing & then you look at his run so far & it has the same issues.

Cody went from being in the Elite vs Inner Circle thing that seemed like it was going to be the overarching story of the whole company leading to a war games match at some point. Had his title match with Jericho where the idea seems to be that MJeff screwed him by throwing in the towel, even though he was caught in the Walls of Jericho in the middle of the ring with no signs of getting out, & then MJeff kicked him in the balls.

So he moved on to the MJeff stuff & got laid out by Wardlow so he's now out numbered for some reason. Then the Butcher, Blade, & Bunny attacked him & he's talking about all his friends being to caught up in other stuff to help him after he just left them against the Inner Circle. MJeff claimed in an unaired on TV promo that he paid for BBB to attack Cody, they cut a promo not mentioning that at all on TV saying their just tired of Cody being the face of everything. 2 matches in him & Darby already beat the BBB group, so Darby gets a rematch against Cody now.

Then to close the show Dark Order & the creepers attacked SCU & the Young Bucks so Cody ran in with Omega for the save & also got beat down. So it seems like their all on the same page again out of nowhere & the Dark Order has replaced the Inner Circle as the big threat.

So in the span of 3 months Cody went from building towards a war games match between the Elite vs Inner Circle, for some reason booked himself into the corner of never challenging for the world title again, starting an angle with MJeff where nobody from the Elite is helping him for some reason, in 3 weeks got attacked by a debuting team to beating them, having the Elite all decide to help each other again only to get beat down by a crew of jobbers, & setting up a rematch with Darby for Jan 1st.

Somewhere in the middle of all that him & Brandi split from each other on TV & now she leads a cult & he don't know shyt about it.
