The "let's not take this shyt so seriously" AEW news & fukkery thread

Someone’s severely missing the point per usual

There wasn't a valid point made per usual

I was thinking about wrestling and these media deals recently after seeing some twitter post. It was about the nxt ratings. They were saying something about how nxt has been great for the cw and i think is their best performing show. which got me thinking about how important wrestling is for these channels. nxt with cw, smackdown with usa, dynamite with tbs, and collision with tnt.

i know tnt has the sports not sure what tbs has, think they have baseball. but far as cw and usa network go, i dont know what the hell they have of interest that isn't wrestling or live sports. i don't remember the last time i ever heard of a show on usa network that people were hyped for. i remember watching monk and psych on there when they were on. but i dont know if they even show any original programming other than wrestling. they gotta be grateful for the high ratings especially cw with nxt cuz if not they wouldn't be getting barely any viewers.

WWE didn't show numbers. Netflix announced numbers that are to be taken with a grain of salt because nobody has the actual internal data, we've discussed this at length.

Also, they only released the first week and nothing since. Everything else is guessing. Also, was 2.6 million (basically the same they were doing on USA a couple years ago) really a W for the worldwide leader in wrestling.... I guess lol... It's wild how defensive some posters get... haha

The fact is the 650k+ on TBS and whatever they get on Max is more than enough. It's only the super stans who want to wage these ratings talks at this point..

Actually, Netflix did release second week numbers and globally Raw dropped 2.2 million viewers

Well they should have kept that...

The stuff about the Death Riders makes me believe that there was another plan for the storyline.

To me they have two options, just give Jay White the belt just we can put a cap on this or of they decide to continue the storyline, relegate it to mid show.

I don't even know who they have gotten that's new since her. It feels like it's only a few women getting shine recently. Hopefully they can find something for Deonna soon. But i think now it's mostly been Mariah, Mercedes, Toni, Harley, Jamie, and Julia with occasionally Willow and Stat. Losing rampage def hurt them. Hopefully they can figure things out eventually.

What they need to do is put her with Deeb.

Also what they need to do is cut the timing on matches and save their marathon matches for specials and PPV's. With that you'll have more time for some people.

Well Airgold got exposed earlier this week so Ibou/BackupHangman said hold my beer and got exposed too by making statements that could potentially get himself sued for defamation.

Leaked wrestlers private information while making defamatory statements on some on Discord because it was behind a paywalled Discord, and he was naive enough to think it wouldn’t leave the Discord

Lied about Britt Baker, said she reached out and she apologized for any trolls that came his way, she called him out for lying about that too because she said she never apologized, he started hiding replies trying to cover up stuff, and then he got community noted over it.

she had the thing with Taya for a bit, not sure if thats still going on. I think Taya was affected by the LA fires, not too sure. so that could be why she hasn't been on tho I don't think I've seen her since before that or Deonna. actually Deonna last match was earlier this month. Taya was on a hammerstein show and recently on ROH. hopefully more of the ladies can start getting some shine.

def agree about cutting some timing with the matches. i like the idea about marathon matches for specials and ppvs.

speaking of specials, i thought they would do it at a ppv but seems like they doing Rico vs Swerve on a dynamite in Atlanta. Feel like that should be made into a special event as well. that match plus the TBS title match and who knows what else they can add on there. like if JJ actually gets a title shot, I would throw it on there instead of a ppv. make it a big event and draw as many fans as possible.

shyt looks like its been crazy lately with all thats been going on. didnt see about airgold but knew he had been acting funny lately. i heard something about ibou and know there was rumors about britt circulating and had seen a few wrestlers make comments about not believing shyt but didn't see the original stuff that caused anything.

AEW making people lose their damn minds just for existing lol

ironically what made people turn on AirGold in the first place was he started “reporting” some of the stories he heard from the Ibou/SelfMade discord and that’s what led to SRS and Ibou/AO going off on him in the Twitter space. It’s time to purge the entire wrestling “media” and start over

 

[OneDeep]

Raw was expected to drop from the first week

That’s not really the gotcha it’s supposed to be
