BUT ONLY THE DEMOS MATTER!!!!!!!!

Also, how did AEW gain 75,000 viewers but lose 30,000 in the demos???

Jericho needs a new shirt, The "JUST KIDDING TOTAL VIEWERS ACTUALLY MATTER TOO GOD".

NXT gained 10,000 in the demos from last week too :eek::eek::eek::wave:

Just imagine how good AEW would be doing if NXT didn't decide in 2014 to have their show on Wednesday Nights every week??? :rofl:

But yeah, they took AEW's "Spot" :yes:

Lolllllllllllllllll

[slik]

A mercy move to Tuesdays could happen soon enough if NXT doesn't improve those numbers.

[Sepholio]

tbh I think if NXT wasn't WWE's third weekly show it would be doing much better against AEW. WWE is saturating the market, even if it is technically a different product. AEW is the one thing non WWE people can watch to change it up.

I hardly ever watch NXT. After RAW and knowing I will prob watch some of SD as well I tend to want something a bit different on Wednesday, not just more of the same.

[xrodmuc316]

A mercy move to Tuesdays could happen soon enough if NXT doesn't improve those numbers.

What are you talking about? NXT is the only show that GAINED in the demo from last week's number. Maybe AEW should move to Tuesday's by that logic.

Or maybe the 0.175 difference in the ratings isn't really a big difference like the "panic that NXT should move" narrative pretends it to be.

[weather vane]

A mercy move to Tuesdays could happen soon enough if NXT doesn't improve those numbers.

Yeah they would be crazy not to. How long can you keep getting killed like this?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

A mercy move to Tuesdays could happen soon enough if NXT doesn't improve those numbers.

They are happy with staying on Weds and giving AEW consistently average ratings. NXT isn't supposed to be winning ratings as they are the WWE's third brand. That NXT won any days at all is a major failure to AEW's only show.

AEW would only improve from NXT's moving to Tuesday and I don't think NXT would improve enough to justify the move.

[slik]

Yeah they would be crazy not to. How long can you keep getting killed like this?

Considering how much USA pays for NXT it'd probably be in their best interest to just cancel it altogether.

Just put some reruns of SUV or something on Wednesdays.

[screech]

Would prefer NXT and AEW on different days, tbh. In the era of DVR and next-day replays, ratings wars are kinda pointless.

TNT pays for production and splits advertisement revenue with AEW, and they have no big advertisers. They had Cracker Barrel for one PPV over a year ago. It would probably be in their best interest to just cancel it altogether.

Yes, they won the demo, nobody ever said they didn't. The meme is that when they lose the overall rating, they go extra hard pointing out that they won the demos. That even when they lose, they still won because of winning the demos.

I don't think Noid even post here anymore, but nope. My issue is a respected guy in the industry like Jim Ross is saying essentially that a .32 in the demo is somehow better than a .46 average over 3 hours of Raw in that demo.

Jim Ross said AEW kicks WWE's ass every week. He did not say AEW beats NXT in that demo on Wednesdays, he said AEW kicks WWE's ass every week.

The way he put it out there is a lie. I point that out because I think it's funny. It has 0 to do with other people here, unless in this case one of the people posting here is actually Jim Ross.

Can’t say I keep up with Jim Ross. I’d have thought it was implicit that when he said “WWE” he meant “NXT” given that (to my knowledge) AEW have never beaten Raw/SmackDown in the demo.

[xrodmuc316]

Can’t say I keep up with Jim Ross. I’d have thought it was implicit that when he said “WWE” he meant “NXT” given that (to my knowledge) AEW have never beaten Raw/SmackDown in the demo.

Nope, he specifically mentioned WWE and Vince McMahon. He did not say NXT, Wednesday nights, or even acknowledge that NXT won the total viewers last week. It's all about 70,000 more people in that specific demo on Wednesday Nights that he is using for his claims, ignoring all other data, including the numbers WWE does in that same demo on Monday and Friday nights.

As Slik said, Raw did the lowest 3rd hour in their history, but that lowest in their history is still double the total viewers AEW does. That lowest in their history still drew 110,000 more in the demo AEW crows about.

If 70,000 more in the demo is AEW kicking ass, then what does it mean when Raw's lowest hour ever got 110,000 more than AEW gets?

If 70,000 more is a monumental victory, 110,000 more can't just be ignored when they constantly talk about WWE and how much better they are.

It's not some big fucking mystery or some amazing miracle that AEW and NXT did pretty average. Most people get their news from their phones.

You are joking right?

USA had Smackdown for about $200 million.
NXT get half the rating Smackdown did for USA, but it cost them 4 times less. Simple deduction suggests USA is getting a bargain.

Also, TNT should cancel Dynamite, because it gets only 100,000 more viewers than the show you think should be cancelled, and unlike USA/WWE, TNT has no long-standing relationship with that promotion. AEW is not a continuation of WCW, no matter how hard they try to pretend it is.

How would moving to a less known network help them? Raw is 3 hours because that third hour performs really well for the slot. The first 2 hours also help the network out tremendously. Raw is more valuable to the USA Network than Dynamite is to TNT.

NXT is incredibly cheap programming that draws close to what Dynamite gets, but is also PG and has the WWE branding to boost its value with advertisers. They also don't split ad revenue with WWE for it. If AEW took in the same amount of ad revenue as NXT, they're only half as valuable to TNT out the gate, then you've got to work in the TV rights fees.

USA is laughing at the TV deal they've got for NXT. It's possible that in the future TNT regrets their current configuration with AEW, because they'll want that ad revenue money.

NXT has helped capped AEW's audience, which is niche anyway. But there's 200k or so people who would watch Dynamite if NXT weren't also on at the same time. That keeps their popularity at a certain level that is going to make them a flea when it comes to TV rights negotiations in a few years time. You want WWE numbers? You need WWE for that. That's the plan. WWE aren't moving NXT to "win" a ratings "war." But TNT might move Dynamite if they feel they can get the audience to follow it to a different slot and if they get the idea that they can bump up viewership by 200k to maximize what they can out of it. That's when WWE actually counter-program them with some weight and AEW drops to about 600k on a Tuesday, because it will be a Triple H produced show with main roster talent. TNT, who would have been expecting 950k-1 million viewers at the new time would be extremely disappointed and someone has egg on their face and that rolls downhill. Plus, NXT would be unopposed then and would probably be doing about 800k viewers.

So Vince ends up with SmackDown, Raw, a new show and NXT as the top four in wrestling with Dynamite and the TNT Cody Hour or whatever they call it scrapping up fifth and sixth. Marathon not a sprint.

[xrodmuc316]

I heard Raw is only on Monday night's because WWE knew that years later AEW would want to put a Monday Night show on the air. It's totally true! Even though Raw has been on Monday Nights for YEARS before AEW even existed, Raw is still only airing on Mondays to hurt AEW.

[Mr. Nerfect]

And even though Raw is beating AEW in the ratings, AEW is still the hot thing with the kids.

[#1-norm-fan]

xrod makes me hate that I love Noid.

[xrodmuc316]

Remember how AEW was making fun of NXT for "hotshotting" a theme show with Halloween Havoc (even though they did the exact same thing with Bash at the Beach (before Cody traded that and FIVE other trademarks so he could be Rhodes (thus beating the empire!)))?

It's cool though, that they are gonna hotshot a World Title match on free TV to pop an extra 50,000 viewers, right?

AEW LOGIC!!!

[#1-norm-fan]

Was AEW actually making fun of NXT for ”hotshotting” a theme show or are you doing that weird thing where you take a scenario that happened in your mind while you were laying in bed seething about AEW and then come here to argue against it?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I know that AEW super fans accuse NXT of hot-shotting all the time and consider Tony Khan a smart and restrained booker with ideas for years. I’ve legitimately seen people say that Sasha vs. Io was wasting a dream match on free TV because NXT is “desperate.”

[weather vane]

This is getting embarrassing for WWE. AEW is just pounding them week after week. You hate to see it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

This is getting embarrassing for WWE. AEW is just pounding them week after week. You hate to see it.

Yeah, look at how bad SmackDown is sucking. It’s only the third most popular thing with women 18-49. :lol: Keep trying, shirtless Roman Reigns. Nobody wants to see that anymore!

[Mr. Nerfect]

I have AEW superfans trying to tell me that AEW is beating Raw when it comes to making new fans. This past week, Raw got a 0.56 for its first two hours versus AEW’s 0.3. It’s a 0.53 if you add the third hour (which obviously handicaps Raw).

An average of 0.31 in people 18-34, more than doubling AEW’s 0.14. A 0.25 in girls and women under 35 and a 0.33 in boys and men in the same age bracket for Raw. 0.13 and 0.12 for AEW. It’s double for girls and almost TRIPLE for boys.

Can we just stop the bullshit about this being even close to as popular? They got 45% of the viewership, 57% of the “key” demo, 45% of the adults under 35, 52% of women and girls, and only 33% of boys and men. And that’s while producing 33.3% extra content through their second most popular show.

Yep, WWE must be shaking about those TV contracts coming up.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Raw gets a 0.67 with men in the alleged key demo. AEW got a whopping 57% of that. They got 52% of grown-ass women who no longer live with their brothers and don’t have to look at the TV to see muscles. Bring Roman Reigns over and watch that margin widen.

Fuck, I just hate this manufactured hysteria around this shitty product. Bryan Alvarez literally called them “Attitude era numbers” this past week. And no, he didn’t mean in terms of volume, he was trying to put over how many heads per home were allegedly watching, but he said “Attitude era numbers.”

Yeah, look at how bad SmackDown is sucking. It’s only the third most popular thing with women 18-49. :lol: Keep trying, shirtless Roman Reigns. Nobody wants to see that anymore!

(Third most popular out of 5 networks. And one is The CW)

To be fair, topless heel Roman Reigns is pretty damn sexy

[Mr. Nerfect]

(Third most popular out of 5 networks. And one is The CW)

We’re not in the 50’s where you have to watch network television.

[#1-norm-fan]

How are you judging its spot as the “3rd most popular thing with women 18-49?” Are you not basing that ranking directly on the network ratings?

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Fan, you are in an argument with two giant assholes. Both are essentially Droford at this point. You're wasting your time.

[#1-norm-fan]

Xrod was always Droford. Right down to the cocky manner in which he says undeniably wrong/insanely stupid shit. Like with Droford, pointing it out to him will never help. But it’s too fun not to.

Noid trolls. But I always have hope that our history of fighting the CyNicks of the world together will force him to tap the brakes on the trolling when it comes to me. Probably not though.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Noid is legitimately just a dick bag who vastly overrates his own intelligence.

Seems like a very odd tactic to make up a quote and then argue against that quote you made up just so you can pretend you “checkmated” someone. That’s some next-level derpiness.

[Mr. Nerfect]

JR did say they kicked NXT’s ass every week, which is an exaggeration and trivial compared to the larger scheme of things.

[xrodmuc316]

JR did say they kicked NXT’s ass every week, which is an exaggeration and trivial compared to the larger scheme of things.

No, he said WWE, not NXT Every Wednesday.

He legit said "Well WWE, it's just business that we're kicking your ass every night."

This is from the same piece of garbage who used his wife's death to get a new 2 year contract from WWE, then bitched how they didn't use him enough.

They gave him a sympathy contract, and he turns around and buries them every chance he gets.

It's the same way he always buried Eric Bischoff and WCW for years, well that is until he got back on Turner's network.

At least he is still honoring his wife's memory by tweeting out how much he wants to bang younger women like Sunny and how he loves her onlyfans page. :rofl:

[#1-norm-fan]

There is literally a human being in this thread at this very moment complaining that JR (widely considered the greatest commentator of all time) is a “piece of garbage” for “using his wife’s death” to get a paycheck from WWE...

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRamSpndsuqkneEBGSkiCWx-FZnPOUcJZxOOQ&usqp=CAU

This is where Noid has the perfect opportunity to either say “AEW is indeed horrible but xrod is a fucking idiot and I do not wish to be lumped in with him.” or to just push all of his chips in to the fucktard pot.

[xrodmuc316]

No I didn't read it, but this dude replies to every post I make KNOWING I have his posts hidden. I can only guess he told me I'm dumb and like lame things and whatever else "gotchas" he thinks I said. :eek:

[#1-norm-fan]

I already tricked you into proving you read my posts. It was very easy because you are incredibly dumb. Going out of your way to try to convince people you don’t see them doesn’t make you look smart. Just a heads up.

But let’s not focus on your “I got you on ignore” fail. We can come back to that.

Let’s stay focused on this JR post fail. I’m anxious to see if Noid does the right thing.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Noid has proven time and again to swing off the nuts off anyone who pays him the slightest compliment.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It depends what JR said. If he said they are kicking the WWE’s ass, then I don’t see how the quote is taken out of context. If he said NXT, then he’s still being an idiot because he should see the long game. And winning by 150k viewers is not kicking ass, nor does it even guarantee that AEW is making TNT more money than a cheaper, PG NXT.

I don’t think he used his wife’s death for a sympathy job. It wouldn’t surprise me if Jan’s passing has affected JR really deeply and caused him to want to go out there and do more. Keep busy, etc. I don’t agree with those comments.

JR being an idiot about this “war,” yes. JR’s relationship with WWE, no. I hope he gets out of AEW soon though. I could see FOX wanting him to be the commentator on SmackDown. If he can get the money, then it’s that plus more exposure for him.

AEW is not likely to beat that 0.31 for people with cats between the ages of 18 and 34 this week. It’s a 0.29 and last week AEW got a 0.27. Can they see an increase in this very important and reflective demographic on cable television in 2020?

Noid posted one comment about the number of posts on the last AEW PPV thread, and MULTIPLE people got so riled up they are STILL going out of their way to make only 1 post in WWE threads just to point out there is not a lot of posts.

The only way to be a "good poster" here is to profess your love for every single thing AEW does, and occasionally go to a WWE thread to say WWE is bad.

They are doing this on purpose. They want people to run away with this bullshit and put their own spin on it. I don’t know if they are getting paid, but they sure should be.

Holy cow. Stop the fight. Honestly. AEW changing the world.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Unimpressive viewership in context, but a good increase with Sting and Shaq. They're not going to be able to bring people in like that every week, so they better hope they made a good impression this week. Feedback I've heard from the show has been less than stellar.

2.106 for SD this week

You all know though that AEW didn't really beat Raw in the demos THIS week, right?

AEW hasn't aired this week. By this logic, I can just pick any random week and compare it to AEW.

Every 2000 WCW Thunder in August beat every AEW rating ever, and they went out of business. Guess AEW is doomed!

ratings were not what put WCW out of business..no matter how shit the product was

806k for AEW, another strong week

Drop off makes sense considering the card wasn't very strong

[Bad News Gertner]

"Sting is a draw"

No he's not.

[Evil Vito]

LMAO Gertner editing the topic title

[Shisen Kopf]

Surfer Sting was a bigger draw than crappy crow Sting. They used to pack the Cobb County Civic Center in the early 90s. That's the pinnacle of rasslin success.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

They should've never let out that Sting can't go or bump. Kills any intrigue people might have had in seeing him.

[Bad News Gertner]

He's never been THAT big of a star. I've always been a Sting fan but people WAY over rate how big of a star he was/is in the wrestling world. Outside of 97 Starrcade and some late 80's early 90's matches with Flair (which in hindsight have more to do with Flair since Flair drew with Luger and Sting, but Luger vs Sting never did), he's never been a big draw. He's a 3rd tier guy if I'm going to rank wrestlers.
