It’d be very late into the game at this point for Noid to start judging things as they are. Even if he is Mr Good Faith.

Also, it’s a reality show isn’t it?

Well considering AEW counts viewers from 7pm-12am when making claims on their viewership, I'm not understanding the issue with Noid counting that hour. AEW counts it whether its their hour, a talk show hour, people slapping each other or a rerun of Hunt For Red October, so what's the difference exactly?

Sounds like a certain Fan is in a state of what's known as THE SHAMBLES around here.

Lol, is he whinging about it? WWE has Raw registered as 3 separate hours. Why would it be ok to lump them all together while AEW gets to separate its third hour?

Lol Was that “4 million viewers” thing from AEW or someone with WBD?

Also, why do we have one weekly Raw thread when WWE has registered Raw as three separate hours. And people are always complaining “Raw sucked” as if it’s one thing when they should be specifying Raw 1, Raw 2, or Raw 3. THERE IS NO RAW SO YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE SHOW AS A WHOLE ARE INVALID!!! WWE SAID!!!

Sweet, I'll make 3 RAW threads just for you.

Is the implication that AEW will need 2 separate threads on Wednesday? Because it doesn’t.

A large chunk of the AEW show threads are people talking about what comes afterward and what they had for dinner anyway.

Not 3 Raw threads! 1 thread for each of the 3 Raws! How are you not getting this!? It’s so simple!

There is 1 Raw on TV but 3 Raws on television.

No it should have The PRE DYNAMITE HOUR thread, the Dynamite thread, the AEW Super Duper Ultra Mega Variety Hour thread, and finally the Post Dynamite Fallout thread. 4 threads. Because it's totes better than WWE and will have bigger numbers one way or another!

The Dynamite thread is lucky if it goes 2 pages without spam. Splitting that up? Sure, go for it.

Can we make 3 separate threads for Fan? One each for posts of Fan in Shambles, Fan Boiling, and Fan Loving CM Phil?

833,000 for Dynamite

Ouch

Scuttlebutt is the first hour did 1.2 million! Out of fairness, last hour doesn’t count!

HIGH FIVES IN THE REP SHEETS AGAIN WOOOOOO!!!!!

Sounds like the people who tuned in last week were burnt by the big announcement being a reality show.

Also, "OHHHH LAWWWWWWD!!!!!"

NXT gonna pass Dynamite within the year and the shambles will flow.

Nobody tell him :rofl:

Speaking of shambles, Vickie Guerrero just celebrated Dynamite‘s win by murdering her new husband just so she can DESECRATE another grave! TARDTATTERS AND SHAMBLES ALL AROUND!

I don't know about that

Yeah, did you miss when the NXT rating was already oof’d, seph? XL oof’d it.

SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING DEMOS

It's because Pretty Peter Avalon didn't go over. They should've listened to me.

I know you read my posts, TK!

833k? Wow, Raw barely got double that. Ouch for WWE.

Which Raw?

ROH viewing figures are in…

7trillion.

Oof.

WOW!!!

Nyla Rose celebrating the ROH news by continuing to have a penis. Cumdorx with the dreaded TRANSPHOBE SHAMBLES! The only cure is 15 ROFL emojis wearing MAGA hats.

Are you really that dense? Pointing out the irony in a statement she made once does not constitute any of this stupid narrative you continue to spin. And you wonder why I do not respond to you most of the time. People tell me every now and then about your extra stupid posts. And yes, I know you dont believe that happens, but it does.

Another fun fact, any time I have posted a screenshot of my rep wall, I am very careful not to show the reps with comments of people saying what an idiot you are, but that does happen also.

I dunk on you with stupid memes because you have earned it, mostly with idiotic posts like the one I am replying to.

Saw a tweet earlier from Tony saying he has huge announcements (plural) coming. Watch out Raw (hours 1 & 2).

This is going to be hilarious. He’s drawn appropriate comparisons to Dixie Carter, but this is getting undeniable now. I’m just waiting for Josh Mathews to be All Elite.

858,000 for Dynamite

Time to fold up shop

TK and The Elite not draws, confirmed.

Bring back Pretty Peter!

That’s off the back of a PPV bump too. They had a chance to lure in new viewers when they had the artificial bump two weeks back and now they’ve got their audience and are running them off. It’s a good thing they’ve got Jeff Jarrett vs. Orange Cassidy booked for next week.

AEW does not have a vision. The criticisms of bookers is often that they just do what they want to do and not factor in what fans are actually hungry for. Tony Khan is no different. The PWG ironic wrestling stuff does not work. No one wants an insincere product. TK is going to jam it down people’s throats and declare it a success regardless of what the reality actually is.

He erroneously won Booker of the Year for a third time. He can step away and call his run successful. But he’s on the backfoot now he can’t just enact what he fantasy booked from the start. It’s time to put someone else in, identify what works and what doesn’t, and make the changes that are going to be reflected in the ratings, since their job will be conditional on their performance. Theoretically, anyway. Tony isn’t a results-driven boss, and even smart guys are probably going to leave barriers of entry like The Elite and Orange Cassidy alone.

This is what AEW is. If you like it? Fine. That’s your prerogative. But it’s awful and it objectively has a ceiling on its appeal. And it’s a shame for us who are craving good wrestling.

smackdown - 2.45 million
raw - 1.83 million
nxt - 624k
dynamite - 858k

Was NXT the big show this week, or is that next week? They could be getting dangerously close to overtaking AEW. Especially since this Shawn Michaels/Grayson Waller stuff could go somewhere. I know people aren’t expecting Shawn to get back in the ring, but I dunno…guys get itchy and Trips might call in a favor if he smells blood in the water…

There’s also the potential for a Raw/NXT crossover, some guys that aren’t popping on the main roster to go back, the possible influx of guys more polished than the absolute rookies (Jay White, Nick Aldis) and some NXT guys actually finding their feet on the main roster as a way to lend credibility to NXT on the horizon. They’re a hot-shot away from really giving it to Dynamite.

Also, holy shit at SmackDown.
