That is where I disagree Vito.
It is AEW that made ratings such an important thing. It is why they crowed about good demos until those went down, then they didnt matter. It is why Tiny Khan posted celebration thank you tweets every time they got over a million viewers, then that went down. He isn't posting thank you for 850,000. Then it wasn't the total viewers anymore, but what place they finished for the night. Then when they fell down that list, suddenly Tiny was posting about how great their vagematch ratings were, until those started going down. Then it was that upfronts renewal news.and Billion dollar deal, which didn't happen. Then it was they got this new show because WBD loves AEW, except they still did not get any type of extension on the length of their TV show.
This is not the byproduct of dorky fans, dorky fans talk about it because AEW has tried to spin everything since day 1. AEW and their roster have constantly changed their own stance on what actually matters based on whatever can allow them to continue the delusion that they are WAY more successful than they actually are.
Jericho is the one who boldly claimed AEW would be beating Raw soon, not some random fan. If they themselves never introduced this shit into the world, then there would be no reason to point it out. But they did, instead of taking criticism and trying to improve, they dig in. So yes, it is fun watching them contradict themselves and what is considered successful depending on the day.
