I didn’t like Rey’s eyeball stuff either. My point is about him as a worker. His shit is crisp as fuck — arguably getting better with age (he no longer seems to luck into the 619 every match). Anyone in AEW at that level disappears into the sea of sloppy unprofessionalism.

I don’t think SmackDown is the ceiling. I think they run people off too. But 800k compared to 2.4 million is pretty shocking. If WCW was doing 25% of what WWF was, they would be mocked mercilessly. David Flair bumping the rating 1% wouldn’t be applauded so readily.

I would have expected a promotion with $100 million, so much goodwill, a fresh start and national cable to be doing better. I don’t know where this low bar is coming from.
