WWE is also stale and we live in a globalized world. AEW has way more advantages than any other start-up wrestling promotion…ever. Certain things are antiquated (like when AEW fans compare AEW’s buyrates to ECW’s), but other things are still applicable. That whole discussion is a major smokescreen away from what I’m actually saying, since I don’t think I’ve ever said that AEW or WWE should be doing the exact same numbers that were done in the Attitude era. I just don’t think they’re doing optimal numbers. Very different arguments.

I’ve said before that I don’t think it’s unreasonable to think that the primary show of a major wrestling promotion in a prime time basic cable should be able to beat Monday Night Raw — whatever number that is. Raw is on a more competitive night, has been on the air forever, is not WWE’s priority show anymore, and is 3 hrs long (which obviously handicaps the rating). They haven’t really come close to that number (outside their debut, which didn’t hook as many live viewers as possible).
