Sorry, I disagree with that. Something has changed. It’s hard to put a finger on it, but I think the general disappointment after the hype Punk and Danielson brought, or being unable to capitalize on All Out has altered people’s perception. Even if you don’t see through the entire product, per se, more people just haven’t been tickled in a sustained way after these biggish moments, and they realize that.

It could just be timing and the product cooling. Their ratings have reflected a more widespread malaise with the product. Dynamite has been cooling off from 1.2 million to 1 million, Rampage down from 1 million to 500k, etc. People have been effected by the product somehow.

And that’s fair enough. It really is. If you feel great spending $150 on this stuff, then I’m glad you’ve gotten the chance to do that. I can’t say the same thing though, and the reason I think it is relevant is because I think for everybody who is stoked to spend $150 on AEW, there are people who would rather not even get paid that amount of money to watch it.

It’s not a sure-fire hit — it’s hit-and-miss.

AEW definitely is better since Tony took over booking completely but I don't need to have the curtain raised on everything that happens backstage. I prefer a little more kayfabe than say having shoot interviews at a press conference after a big show or ppv.
Imagine how much cooler Tony would look if instead of getting overly excited about specific demos, he took a way more laid-back approach and was like “Hey, it’s cool people look for patterns and stuff. I’m always trying to be better though. I’d love to get more older people watching, earn the respect of more entrenched fans, make believers out of children and really endear ourselves to women. Most of all, I want the people who check us out one week come back the next.”

Like, there’s a way of appearing humble and not pissing on every fan you don’t get.
