That’s stupid. You’re stupid. AEW is stupid.

I’m glad Christian gets to make that dollar and not make a difference to anything. T-N-A! T-N-A!

In Slik's mind, Toxicity apparently means not sucking AEW's metaphoric Dick at every turn.

They can't get a Million in the ratings, and that butthurt you so much you locked the thread lol.

Yeah, we are the problem...

Not agreeing with the group means you’re toxic.

Trying to suppress the truth

I remember when I thought Alexa Bliss sucked and The Usos were annoying. TPWW did not like that. Bandied together, all supported each other to take shots at me. Very little reasonable discussion. Now those fickle fucks couldn’t give a shit. In four years time it will be “AEWho?” and they’ll be calling people toxic for not liking Just Obscene Wrestling run by a crippled Will Ospreay and everyone will suddenly be telling the truth about AEW.

lol

*whistle* "Two minutes for telling the truth on Noid"

(Slik and the other sheep)

Nope.

I've posted ratings for years on tpww, I used to post them on the main page of tpww.net. I've always enjoyed seeing the ratings and found them interesting, long before AEW existed. It wasn't until you and Noid decided to constantly bitch about AEW every week in this thread that it became unenjoyable to do here. You've made the entire thread toxic and about how much you dislike AEW rather than about the ratings for RAW, SD, Dynamite and NXT.

You are both terrible additions to the board and don't add anything to it.

pretty scary how serious some can take others' opinions about the state of generally terrible modern wrestling. complaining about people "taking shots" at you on a messageboard in 2021 is probably too sad to even call pathetic

Wrong, I just don't gush over AEW's 800,000 ratings, nor do I understand why 800,000 is so amazing but Raw and Smacking getting more than double that 800,000 is meh.

I don't hate AEW, I watch it every week, I just spent $50 on their PPV, how does that mean I hate it?

What I don't like though, is double standards and hypocrisy. I was here years ago when you were posting ratings, when Raw was getting 2.8 million, and we all talked about how bad that was. Then AEW came around and now we all have to pretend 800,000 is an awesome rating and WWE is scared, and if anybody disagrees they are toxic? Come on man.

You literally just proved my point. RAW and SD ratings have nothing to do with AEW.

AEW was expected to do 400k by TNT and has never been anywhere near that level, it's does about double that often, it's a huge success for TNT.

RAW and SD ratings dropping each year was not good for each show. SD being consistent on Fridays for FOX is good for them. 2.8 million was terrible for RAW. 1.8 million is horrible for RAW. 800k would be disastrous for RAW. But every time the RAW/SD ratings get posted bringing up AEW, often with some weird Black Widow-esque meme, is pointless. It's apples and oranges.

Nobody here is TNT, why then are we celebrating 800,000?

lol

Because it's a massive, huge success. Hottest young wrestling company on the planet.

Wrestling isn't popular or cool these days and probably never will be again. Yet this new company produces smash ratings each week, finishes in the top 5 of Cable on Wednesday nights, has a video game deal, toys in every major retailer and hasn't even existed for 2 years, that's great in 2021 for a new wrestling company. No company has probably had that level of success since WWWF re-branded to WWF or NWA became WCW on TBS. There's really no way to look at AEW without seeing how impressive that is. 700-800k in live ratings is an incredible metric for AEW each week. The fact that when Live + 7 is figured in they are over a million is terrific.

It's basically comparing The Simpsons to a new animated series.

The Simpsons once had 33 million viewers and now has 4 million. A new animated series might have 2 million viewers. That is fantastic for a new animated series in 2021. But if someone mentions they like the new series better than the current season and most recent seasons of The Simpsons it's pointless and toxic to say "yeah but they don't have as many viewers as The Simpsons". The Simpsons is a household name that's been around forever. It's also not good The Simpsons lost 29 million live viewers over the years. Both 2 million being good for A and 4 million being not good for B are accurate.

It's an apples and oranges thing.

"wrestlinf will never be cool again"


literally nothing to base that off of

Gertner endorses Orange Cassidy.

False.

I’M TNT.

I’m dynamite.

TNT

And I’ll win the fight

The last boom periods were in 1984 and 1997. It's been 24 years. Not looking too likely for another big boom.

Especially since booms usually coincide with stars being made and WWE seems unwilling or unable to build stars anymore.

Lol!

I'm not trying to be an ass, but if 800,000 viewers is a massive, huge success, what is 2.2 million? And what about 700,000 for NXT? 700,000 is a huge failure and they have to tuck tail because they are huge losers.

700,000 = huge losers
800,000 = massive success
2.2 million = who cares?

That will never make sense to me.

Lol, take away the young qualifier and it’s not the hottest company. WWE still is, whether people want to confront that or not.

TNT expecting 400k viewers is complete bullshit, by the way. It was said to be 500k by Meltzer, who never gave that any context and was probably low-balling to make AEW look good. He explained his reasoning once, and that was because B/R Live will get subscribers and that can be subtracted from the average viewership on TNT. Absolute wank.

AEW rules!!!

WATCH ME EXPLOOOOOOODE!

no correlation between those time frames at all. prowrestling existed for a century before the first boom

AEW : 768,000
NXT: 597,000


AEW trotting out Brodie's brat again in a desperate attempt for ratings fail.

Wow. Shocking.

What DID “boom” in the 1800’s? Wrestling was doing very well for quite a while before ‘84. Then there were booms. WWE is still making the VAST majority of their money off of those booms. It’s fair to compare the time frames. It was harder to “boom” before. Now it’s much easier and the company that took the monopoly doesn’t seem to care.

AEW GONNA BEAT RAW SOON HOLY MACANOLI BATMAN!!!!!

It seems AEW’s ratings just about doubled with no competition while NXT’s stayed pretty much the same. Interesting.

Oh man this thread was gone for a while why is it back?

Right, whatever could it be???? :p

What are the ratings now?

The ratings are people watch wrestling. :lol:

69 pages (nice) of this thread summed up in one post lol

Also while stoned.

Oh look, here it is.

Cool. But that doesn’t mean ratings can’t be discussed other places as well.
