It’s almost as if one company is on a “prove-it” deal, while the other has been an established television entity for decades, with far more leverage in turn.

AEW has the key demos Vince dreams of, but can’t get because he’s terrible at producing anything close to resembling an entertaining product. RAW and Smackdown are barely watchable, and have been for 4 years at least. I think I’m even being generous saying “barely”. I don’t think I’ll watch WWE product again until Vince dies. I just can’t do it to myself, nor should any of you.

Smackdown has been much better than RAW in the last ~6 months to me, at least.

Except on Monday and Friday, when Vince gets higher "key demo" ratings than AEW does on Wednesday. But of course, Wednesday is the only day demos matter right?

Right!


Thanks for coming to the TED talk.

What, they 40+ crowd?

RAW 18-34 =.35
AEW 18-34 =.15

Try again.

What in the hell did I do?

you enjoyed something, maybe

Now do NXT.

I'm curious what Raw would do against AEW and if the audience would be as split as it is against NXT. I'd goes Raw would win but I'm curious to see how many viewers they'd lose if AEW did do a Monday night show.

Did I say NXT in my original reply to your dumb take about demos, that you oh so cleverly responded to about 40+ year olds??

Pretty sure I said Monday and Friday demos, and how your attempted argument is that demos only matter on Wednesdays.

You just reaffirmed that your argument is a .15 on Wednesday is awesome and makes Vince McMahon jealous, but the .35 he just got on Monday doesn't matter. Even though it was more than double, Dynamite, it wasn't on Wednesday, so "ohhhh AEW!!!".

Every week people pretend AEW is killing it, but a .15 in 18-34 only looks good when compared to NXT. Acting like ratings are the most important thing to prove AEW is great while ignoring much higher Raw ratings and Smackdown ratings because it buries your narrative is bullshit and I'll call it out EVERY time.

Why the need to pretend Wednesday is the only day ratings matter?

Answer, because your geeking out makes no sense otherwise.

But you’re being disingenuous, you’re comparing apples to pomegranates. RAW has zero competition.

Yeah, there is never Monday Night Football or anything.

This past Raw didn't air against the NCAA Football Championship, poor Dynamite has all the real competition! :roll:

SO ELITE!!!!!!

If Vince was a real man he’d move Raw to Wednesday’s.

Could you imagine how much crying their would be if Vince actually moved a show to air against Dynamite??

Shit look how much of a fit they still have about NXT airing Wednesdays, you know NXT, the show that has been airing at 8pm since 2014. You listen to AEW, and you would think NXT stole AEW's timeslot.

Nevermind that NXT got picked up by USA to replace Smackdown before Dynamite even debuted. Also nevermind that the original trademark was for Thursday Night Dynamite.

None of those true facts fit the story of "the Big Bad WWE trying to hurt poor old AEW", so let's ignore all that, and then act like Vince McMahon is scarred of the underdog bitches that can't draw 1 million viewers no matter how many former WWE guys they sign.

That's just the kick in the ass RAW needs!

So you’re agreeing Vince is a scaredy-cat, and wouldn’t do it?

I wonder if this is Hasney's most successful thread

Who?

Saw Hasney started playing "Wrestling Empire" on Switch, along with Mike the Metal Ed and... one of my other friends from TPWW but drawing a blank right now. Didn't even know there was a damn rasslin' game on Nintendo Switch !!!

Where's the new "Smackdown Murders AEW in the ratings worse than Chris Benoit did his Family" thread title?

For those curious, 2.15 million for SD this week

I saw that Roman Reigns mini promo from their Mania announcement. Where the fuck has that guy been the last 6 years. Also loved that Heyman seems like he's afraid of him.

He's so fucking great. Might be the best thing in wrestling.

Trump?

i remember playing a previous iteration of this on a tablet or something years ago, used to be "Wrestling Revolution" i think. anyway, empire looks like it would be an absolute blast to play online multiplayer, and kinda makes me want to get a switch, but i won't because i hate fun

Supposedly made by the same guy, yeah. It I guess kind of captures the spirit of the old Acclaim N64 games, jankiness and all. Kind of tempted to try it... I think there's a demo

I miss Hasney :(

And yeah that game was a blast on PC. You can do the most ridiculous shit in it.

I remember a newLegacy stream where they finished a match only to be greeted with a newspaper headline telling them that their character fucking died in the middle of career mode after suffering extreme damage and blood loss in a match. And then immediately after that, another newspaper headline that the guy who killed them in the match turned face.

LOL

1.85 for RAW this week

Look at those demos! I thought you all said WWE's audience was all boomers???

AEW just keeps pounding away. Add it to the pile. WWE drowning.

Actually what people say is that WWE's largest viewing demo is 50+...which it is, there's literally a chart you are quoting...

Yeah, and like I already said, you yourself make that claim based on the chart, but completely ignore Raw killing Dynamite in the 18-34 demo.

So even if the biggest segment is 50 plus, so what? It doesn't change the fact that they more than double Dynamite in the young people demo, does it?

So why are you so biased every week posting those rating charts, when they disprove your bias?

I said it last week, 18-34 demo
Raw - .35
AEW - .15

So even if every WWE fan over 50 dies tomorrow, guess what, Raw would still beat Dynamite, so fuck your rating chart.

I posted ratings before AEW existed...I've always posted ratings...

It's not my fault AEW is a better product to watch nor is it my fault AEW continues to be the preferred show for many younger viewers.

RAW 18-34 =.35
AEW 18-34 =.15

Try again.

Don’t try and reason with them, xrod. They actually believe that AEW is cool with the young folks while WWE is not.

CNN with massive live tv ratings for the Inauguration. Both AEW and NXT did better for the night than I expected them to.


AEW - 854k
NXT - 659k
