NXT vs AEW Ratings Thread

[Rayzah]

Ok so I think I get you. I think most of us wants WWE to be better. They are most of our childhoods. They have everything in place to put wrestling as a whole back in the pop culture mix but they got rich and stopped trying. So we all hoped aew would be that company to kinda make Vince want to put on good tv again. So far all it’s done was get him another show on a major network.

IMO we are all watching the same shows, some of us haven’t jumped on the aew train yet. Because they got their wrestling fix already through wwe. And if you aren’t a fan of flippy shyt and “serious” wrestling then aew isn’t going to draw you in anymore than nxt is.

AEW isn’t going to have millions of people tuning in because they want an alternative. Athletic wrestling matches and the Indy style does NOT equal ratings.

To get people to watch you need to create compelling storylines and characters that will lead up to great PPV’s, then you can have your 5 star matches. Weekly shows should be 80% storylines and fukkery to set up PPV’s occasionally have really good matches for main events to mix things up.

but ultimately fukk the ratings, it’s an archaic way to gage interest. Scripted tv isn’t ever going to be big like it was in the past, there are just too many options

AEW ain't gonna last a year with these soft fakkits at the helm

Imagine them in the locker room in the 80s

I think they and Cody respond to too many fans. Celebrities that respond to regular people invite trolling for their attention because they want a response too and it’s easier to get a response typing bullshyt

I think it's the overall pressure getting to them. I mean what do y'all think fans are trolling them with? Ratings, I'd guess. They're in charge now not just performers and while they're used to having a chunk of IWC root for them to fail this is new territory.

EVP's of a serious company shouldn't be so fragile and emotional

Imagine HHH deleting his twitter because of some disparaging comments

Heard mox got a out clause in a few months

 

[904Lurker]

Like why did Brandi Rhodes randomly go from codys manager to the shyt shes doing with Kong and why should anyone care.

Because she's the Chief Brand Officer and no one can tell her no. Shad Khan to be a billionaire he makes some dumb decisions. AEW is looking like one

They just sold out their next PPV... don’t think they’re going anywhere.

i said this in this thread last week how dumb it is to sit there and go back and forth with "fans" on Twitter

somebody is always gonna have something negative to say no matter how well the company does, dudes gonna drive themselves crazy tryna sit there and argue with their critics every week on social media

and Orton needs to shut the hell up with his throwing stones from a glass house ass
