The replies to Alvarez's ratings tweet every week are hilarious. So many goalposts moved in less than one year.

A year ago, all you heard was "it's just a t-shirt company" now it's "they ain't shyt until they crack a million" ignoring the fact that they've regularly beaten NBA games in the slot.

nikkas do the same thing on the other side though

Pretending the declining Raw and Smackdown ratings are a shyt show when clearly they’re two of the most consistently strong ratings wins on tv


Energy gotta be kept across the board mane

That's cause people don't understand ratings today, they expect Attitude Era numbers but the most popular shows on TV isn't getting anything close to what they did back then.

If American Idol in 2001 got the numbers The Voice gets today, they'd be canceled on sight.

This ain't about NXT vs AEW anymore since AEW is clearly the winner there, this about what is it going to take for AEW to get over a million viewers? AEW fans can use the DVR excuse if they want to, but not being able to crack a million after a title change is not good.

Yeah and if memes existed in the 90's this would have been WCW powerbombing WWE.

And we all know how that turned out. :sas2:

Couldn't even crack a mill after mox title change :mjgrin: and the "best tag match ever"

:laff:

Who said they were just a T-Shirt company? All that tough talk they were doing when they debuted at 1.4mil and now it's "well they're a new company", when ya'll know damn well the biggest ratings happen at the start. You said they're beating NBA games like that's a big accomplishment, especially since the big talk this season has been how bad the NBA ratings have been. The question is what's it going to take for them to get over a million viewers again? Because maybe it's time to accept the fact that this is what it's going to be on Wednesday, NXT will have between 700k-800k and AEW will have between 800k-900k.:manny:

Before Dynamite debuted a few posters said that. Doesnt matter who because it was stupid then like its stupid now. The main issue with these ratings arguments is that neither show is doing particularly bad. But AEW never gets credit no matter what they do and yes the goalposts constantly move. Even if they hit a mil regularly then its going to be that they arent geting RAW and SD numbers.

Alternatively NXT has been WWE's best show for close to 5 years now if not more. But people for various reasons havent caught on or moved on (i dont know how well Network streams were doing for those before).

The stan wars are pathetic in general but WWE stans especially look really bitter through all this. Its not even that serious.

Prior to them announcing the TV deal, people on Twitter and Wreddit would routinely say they're just a t-shirt company.

Thing I don't understand is why would anyone be against WWE having some competition or alternative to WWE?

:pachaha:

Maybe those WWE Stockholm Syndrome Stooges can come in here and answer this. Especially when you see threads like "LMAO at Goldberg beating the Fiend", "Ricochet is buried by Riddikk Moss", and the dozens of other "That's Good shyt Pal"-type threads highlighting Vince's thinking.
