Feel like it's going to be really annoying to travel in and out of the venue

I drive past it every day on my way home and during the US Open there is always a massive backup of cars at the exit

My friend is driving in to Queens anyway so gonna drive with him

Evil Vito 09-22-2021 05:08 PM

AEW told everyone to arrive early

Apparently everyone listened because there is exactly one line to get into the tennis center and it’s enormous 25 minutes before doors open

Sepholio 09-22-2021 05:22 PM

Hope you fellas have a great time. Hope to see some TPWW signage on TV tonight!

The Rogers Centre did that at the Jays game I went to and it took two seconds.

So the TNT Championship becomes the Rampage title for all intents and purposes? I can live with that.

Damian Rey 2.0 09-23-2021 01:43 PM

They’ve said they will keep it the TNT title even with a move to TBS.

slik 09-23-2021 02:45 PM

It's rumored the TBS Title will be the secondary women's title

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2021 03:59 PM

So, with people all over the internet now going “See! AEW must be doing well for TNT to keep it in the slot!”, are people willing to admit that it wasn’t doing that well in order for it to be moved?

Of course not. Gotta have your cake and eat it too.

slik 09-23-2021 04:01 PM

Moved to a Network that is in more homes than TNT, yes, huge failure indeed. On top of ratings or near the top every Wednesday night on cable. Giant failure. Massive.

Doesn’t matter how many homes TBS is in it it’s a comedy re-run channel, bro. TBS has been an elephant graveyard for years. Also, they’re nowhere near the most viewed showed on cable. Wrestling marks make a big deal out of an archaic demo in 2021 to make their favorite product look good. Advertisers care about way more, which is why AEW is still getting the boot for hockey (how’s its “key demo?”).

Their version of The Great Khali. Tell me how this product is different.

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2021 04:12 PM

1.27 for Dynamite in Arthur Ashe. Hahaha, wow.

It’s their 3rd highest ever, but this was basically a free PPV. Realistically, this was their biggest round to fire. I don’t know if AEW can ever crack its debut rating. It’s just not good enough.

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2021 04:13 PM

Vince McMahon vindicated again. Maybe in 10 years, Vince will run off Rex Steiner and AEW can make a big deal out of that for 800k viewers?

NXT got 746k. The difference between NXT and AEW is about the same as the difference between Raw and AEW.

Raw beat them in that bullshit demo stuff too. Hahaha. “The steak...is over.”

If this doesn’t crack 1.4 million people, what will? This took their top acquisitions, put them in a giant building on a PPV caliber card on free TV. People would rather watch The Masked Singer.

And yeah, even their highest numbers are pretty measly when you take them in context. Just because Grandma Paula has the best radish pie in town doesn’t mean it’s a good meal.

But you’re just a fair and honest observer, right? Get off it. You suck their pond water like anyone else.

Hahaha, they’ve got to peel back every little detail they can to try and edge out any sort of positive news.

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2021 04:32 PM

Since a bunch of fanboys were calling AEW’s arbitrary success in 18-49 the past two weeks “wins,” I want to hear them have the integrity to at least call Arthur Ashe a loss. But they don’t.

Demo doesn’t matter. Viewership barely matters. What matters is how much money a network can squeeze out of you for advertising. AEW is a immature, sweary, niche geek show. Keep telling yourself it’s kicking up a storm.

Calling him the great khali cuz he’s brown and tall? That’s not racist at all.

#1-norm-fan 09-23-2021 04:46 PM

The racism/xenophobia coming out on top of his freak outs at the mention of a wrestling company doing well in any area compared to WWE lends credence to my theory that Noid handed his account over to CyNick.

They’ve continually pulled 1m views and good demo numbers, their merch is red hot, they’re taking in money at the turnstiles, and they just got a TV deal extension and raise after adding an hour and getting moved to a channel with slightly more availability across the country. Oh and they just topped their own PPV buys on top of Jim fucking Cornette praising what they’re producing and more.

How anyone can try and call them a failure is beyond me. Just being an idiot for the sake of it.

xrodmuc316 09-23-2021 05:08 PM

I am so tired of these supposed journalists "moving the goalpost" as they say. So they lose the demo they have been crowing about forever, and suddenly its "Well we still won Men in that demo". If that is the important demo, why wait until now to bring it up?

Wrestling would be so much better without these turd reporters.

That’s literally what the press release says, dude. They’re making a big deal out of him being Indian. Got to love that critical reading the US school system teaches.

I said it’s their version. WWE hired Khali because he was tall and Indian too.
