Lots of things wrong with this. Seeing a loss is more important than whether or not it is technically on someone’s bullshit record or not. People saw a skinny white guy lose to another skinny white guy. There’s also a big difference between pushing your female star with the most commercial potential by having her do an unusual style of match in a losing effort to someone with credibility. That helped get Britt over in what is, let’s be honest, a mid-card role.

And can we please stop using the word “draw” when it comes to these car wrecks? 1 million people is not drawing. How can there be “no one cares about WWE” memes when it is watched by several times the number of people that watch AEW? It’s like when Mick Foley defended the sex offender by saying his shtick puts a smile on every face. Yes, on the 50 faces an advertiser wants to avoid being associated with their product. People are not tuning in to see these acts. They are laughing at them and then switching off to the product and likely wrestling forever. Causally linking attention to approval is such a Vince Russo trait. These acts are not growing the promotion. They are getting comparative attention compared to a flat product no one watches because they cannot sincerely emotionally invest.

This is why Danhausen’s merchandise selling (allegedly) very well by AEW standards is an indictment. It’d be like Kaientai’s “Indeed” shirt doing well compared to The Rock’s and people saying “Wow! Kaientai is over!” No. What the fuck have you done to The Rock?

There’s a reason they don’t give you the actual numbers for these shirts. And there’s a reason people check out of this product.
