Because only WWE has done more, but by Millions and Millions? $50,000 more is great, but lets just ignore WWE's actual numbers. Its all the same tiresome spun bullshit as always.



Purposefully, it is just as absurd to hype it up that way.

Serious question, why do they not just say "$1.1 Million is AEW's best gate ever"? A pure, simple fact with no spin. I would have read that and thought "solid gate, good for them" and would not have anything to complain about. Framing EVERYTHING as something to be a cheerleader about and #LFG'ing, all that extra bullshit, it invites dickheads like me who see through it to have something to take issue with.

It is no longer about them doing their best gate, it is about them not being able to ever just STFU and take a win.
I may be wrong here (often am as I’m not subscribed to this one vs. the other nonsense, and I’m not on Twitter) but the guy that posted that is a fan, not affiliated with AEW at all outside of being a fan. So how does the criticism become of AEW not being able to “take a win”?
