Lol, with the ratings declining, there’s a new movement in the AEW fandom to shut down talk of ratings/other business metrics. The goal is to shame people who care about the performance of something and those who don’t pretend the product is engaging enough to discuss solely as content.
You’ve seen it on these boards a couple of times. It’s fucking weird and a little disgusting, honestly.
People are interested in what they are interested in. Some people find the business side of things interesting — sometimes more interesting than the actual wrestling.
You also hear the common line “As long as they stay on the air, I don’t care about ratings.” Well, that’s what people are discussing.
But more and more you see AEW fanboys trying to push the conversation away from things wrestling fans have discussed for years. Because it doesn’t make their promotion look good.
