I love this kind of rationale, (FYI, if someone says, for example, that this Mania is the most tickets they ever sold to Mania, I would point out that combined over 2 nights is not the same) but why does it matter?
Why do I have to prove everytime that I criticize AEW that I would have also criticized WWE in the past and/or would in the future?
This is another aspect about AEW fandom I have talked about for years.
AEW and its fandom seemingly cannot survive without WWE, not their TV shows, not their podcasts, not their tweets, not their over hype, not their self congratulating validation, nothing. AEW without "BUT WWE" would have hardly any storylines, a big lack of talking points, and literally NO rallying cry to speak of to pump up the cult.
"YEAH WE HAD THE BEST NON-WWE GATE EVER!!!! SURE, IT IS LIKE 10% OF WWE, BUT YEAH WE WHOOPED 1999 ECW AND 2007 IMPACT SO WOOOOOOOO FUCK YOU WWE HAHAHA!!!"
Not doing anywhere NEAR as good as WWE does, but doing better than OTHER wrestling companies, means AEW is doing better than WWE?!? It is illogical, annoying, and asinined.
Ill go back to my question, why do they not just say "$1.1 Million is AEW's best gate ever"? Answer, because Cultist don't care about that, but if they can use it to pretend AEW GOOD FED BAD, well shit it is party time.
