Ummm...

You need to put ROFL emojis after each part so I know you’re “kidding” and don’t actually think that quote is where the YoY thing started.

Seriously, titty honking gimmick. Give it a shot. Even your partner in derp Noid tried it for a bit and he instantly became a much more likeable poster for like… an hour.

screech 07-14-2022 10:31 PM

Everyone loves titties

Mr. Nerfect 07-15-2022 05:04 AM

Holy shit, I thought Ass Excrement Wrestling would at least get 1 million for their FyterFest special. Diminishing returns. And lol at #fan discombobulated by his own bullshit. Slurp, slurp.

#1-norm-fan 07-15-2022 07:35 AM

Hey, Noid coming in to project “bullshitting” randomly in this thread after I happened to call him out in the other thread for his awkward mirroring of smarter people via using their words nonsensically. Who could have seen that coming?

How many consecutive posts will it take for him to hide his shame this time around? Setting the over/under at 6 1/2.

drave 07-15-2022 08:45 AM

gonna say 4

You can even work in your Punk/Tony boner into the titty honking posts at first to ease into the gimmick. Come onnnn.

Suddenly it stops mattering to them when it highlights this shit isn’t more popular than it was at the start. Just like demos disappear when they aren’t doing as well as fanboys would like. Some are even trying to get rid of ratings talk altogether — not in the Destor kind of way, but in a “this doesn’t look good for us so let’s pretend we don’t care” way.

Sepholio 07-15-2022 04:06 PM

Noid and Xrod dunking all over Fan. As usual.

Mr. Nerfect 07-15-2022 04:17 PM

Ratings don’t need to matter to your enjoyment of a product. It’s fine if they do too. Sometimes people want to see something they like making other people happy. But it was the Meltzers and the like who started this battle by pretending 18-49 matters when you’re talking about a mostly white wrestling audience with the average age of 47. It was shifty in the first place. That’s what’s fun about busting these myths.

I get people want AEW to be hot shit. But you can pretend you like it without pretending that it’s doing gangbusters. And if you want to see more people enjoying it, maybe put that on the product to be more appealing instead of shifting numbers around to suit you?

#1-norm-fan 07-15-2022 06:47 PM

Lol I’m catching shit for trying to get you to do a titty honking gimmick since you might actually try “as a joke” to do it and butcher Jazzy’s legacy because you’re… well, you.

I kinda agree so… never mind. Don’t do it.

He picked a side because he needs a fight, and he picked the losing one but he can’t be gracious about it. The nature of the contrarian. Now he’d just be throwing around non sequiturs and passive aggressive attempts to be above it all.

#1-norm-fan 07-15-2022 06:56 PM

Noid’s really on edge over me reading him like a fucking book yesterday. Desperate to get that heat back while pretending he’s ignoring me. I’m sure the timing is coincidental. *french kiss*

Sasha vs Naomi titty honking match coming soon

If Sasha is charging $30k for a non-wrestling appearance, how much do you think she’d charge for a titty honking match?

#1-norm-fan 07-15-2022 09:40 PM

She’d milk those promoters for all they’ve got.

See, this is fun.

Seems a bit one sided, tbh

screech 07-15-2022 10:44 PM

But, titties

Damian Rey 2.0 07-17-2022 03:01 PM

I mean I’ll take it. Just seems like it’s the Cena esq against all odds booking trope, but for Naomi

Mr. Nerfect 07-19-2022 08:48 AM

Holy shit, AEW fired another salvo in the Friday Night Wars:

Rampage: 435k

SmackDown: 2.077m

Mr. Nerfect 07-20-2022 02:30 PM

I wonder if YoY is going to be brought up by AEW apologists when Rampage turns 1? Somehow I doubt it.

Bad News Gertner 07-21-2022 07:23 PM

910,000 for Dynamite


Cause I'm free! Free Fallin!

xrodmuc316 07-21-2022 07:28 PM

910,000 for Shark Cage Barbed Wire EVERYWHERE!!!

Guess "Special Edition" Dynamites with "Blood Fueds" in "Gimmick" matches don't draw like they used to. Wonder how great Booker Tiny will spend his daddy's money next :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

screech 07-21-2022 08:27 PM

It's because they didn't have Shark Boy

Mr. Nerfect 07-21-2022 09:35 PM

Lol, not good for a special episode with a giant gimmick. Diminishing returns. A lot of the discourse around this week has been largely negative too. People are catching on to AEW sucking and have had enough of it. Soon even the bootlickers will come around.

Fucking 910k. Yeah, Dave. Hot shit. Totally in touch. People definitely aren’t dodging cable programming for streaming services at all.

Destor 07-21-2022 09:42 PM

Kahns booking is IWC bullshit. Its all hotshots and gimmick matches

Mr. Nerfect 07-21-2022 10:26 PM

It’s going to come back and bite him.

Mr. Nerfect 07-22-2022 01:13 AM

TK subscribes to the idea that criticism is negative and negativity is toxic. AEW fanboys get all up in arms when shit is called out for sucking with statements like “Well don’t watch it.” Because it’s hard to be good and have an actual effect on people, they pretend that there aren’t millions of people who have at some point been interested in wrestling when it was more to their liking. Now it’s the “please the room” mentality. They provide you validation and positive feedback that is geared towards reinforcing what you are already doing (which is easy).

There are not enough people in the room to make wrestling hot. There are way more people that want to like wrestling that wouldn’t be caught dead in that room, but TK doesn’t want to be honest about the impression his product gives. Pleasing the room is not challenging and isn’t going to see any long-term growth.

Mr. Nerfect 07-22-2022 01:16 AM

CM Punk has tried to pretend that casual fans don’t exist because he can’t get ‘em. Cody Rhodes has implied that they’re not real fans. The truth is they’re closer to “normal” people that have been turned away by this shit sucking. You don’t get cool points by touching the electric fence over and over again.

Mr. Nerfect 07-22-2022 01:19 AM

I’m still convinced that if someone came along and was selective with talent, could get a good slot with some good buzz, they could be doing WAY better than Dynamite is. It isn’t good.

And this is why I don’t think AEW is good for wrestling. It’s draining up resources making a good case that WWE are the only ones who can do this properly, and leaving potential fans with bad impressions.

Mr. Nerfect 07-25-2022 06:27 PM

SmackDown: 2.256 million

Rampage: 428k

Another win for AEW.

Jordan 07-26-2022 01:51 PM

AEW Rampage beat the WWE A&E Documentary on The Bella Twins though which came in at 420,000 average.

Woooooow. A documentary about wrestlers on A&E drew almost about as much as original wrestling programming on TNT. It actually tied with women. That’s insane.

#1-norm-fan 07-26-2022 03:43 PM

Damn. The Bellas being WWE legends, you’d think their story would trounce AEW’s B-show. Especially with women who are all disgusted by AEW’s blood and gore but look up to the legendary Bellas as role models because WWE. But no. Woooooow

xrodmuc316 07-26-2022 04:38 PM

Are we back to comparing ratings from different days again like it is the same thing? Anything to prop up AEW right...
