Dave Meltzer’s going to bat for AEW again. In order to spread propaganda that this thing is growing, Dave has used a bunch of weird metrics.

* A 17% increase in PPV. Yeah, from horseshit to dogshit. Adding Danielson and Punk has gotten you 10k more buys globally or whatever. Their domestic numbers still pale in comparison to ECW’s domestic number running 6 PPVs a year with 24 WWF and WCW PPVs also flooding the market.

* Their rating is up year-to-year. Yeah, without NXT there splitting the wrestling audience.

* They just sold out the Forum! Quickest sellout in history! It’s their first time running the place in an age where people can buy tickets on their cellphone.

* First $1 million gate! Cool? You sellout a first-run venue and charge a lot for tickets this is doable.

Fuck this guy has gone off the deep end. If you like AEW…fine. I’ll accuse you of bad taste, but that’s allowed. That’s not enough though. We’ve got to distort, or flat-out lie, about how good it’s doing. Dave’s this close to creating fictional companies that never existed and comparing their numbers (set at 0) to AEW.
