Attendance can also lie. Some people go to shows just because they are live. PPV is a similar thing, since it is a “digital ticket.” It does imply people are paying for the product, but it can also depend on frequency, competition and the focus you put on them. It’s a combination of things, and the growth over time that will probably best tell you how “hot” you actually are.

527k for Battle of the Belts II is pretty piss-poor. Unless it’s an entirely fresh 527k to add onto Dynamite and Rampage, but that isn’t likely the case.

This is a regular one from you. I think the point being that the 3rd hour drags the overall rating down, and without it they’d be doing even better. I actually think that might be true, however, they do have a third hour so you can’t just factor it out. They agreed to produce a 3 hour show. Maybe they should make a 3 hour show that’s interesting for 3 hours, then we don’t need to even consider adjusting for the third hour. Gotta judge the product as is.

I’m sure randomly moving nxt to prime time and adding an extra hour at the same time slot as AEW was a complete coincidence as well

1. NXT was airing on Wednesdays at 8pm for years 2. USA Network lost 2 hours of wrestling to Fox 3. USA Network replaced 2 hours of wrestling with NXT for about 20% of the cost 4. WWE took the money because they are a publicly traded company 5. AEW trademarked Tuesday Night Dynamite, intending to take over the 2 hours of wrestling no longer on Tuesdays 6. TNT said no and offered Wednesday 7. Any idiot like Jericho spinning that angle is extra dumb because his drunk ass APPEARED on NXT on Wednesday nights. 8. Even WITHOUT NXT on Wednesdays, Dynamite lost 300,000 viewers since last year by their own booking. Why are you Cultist such staunch defenders of the Dub? |

And I’m sure cumdorx is stating nonsense, Wednesday night Dynamite was announced in July of 2019. The earliest I can find the NXT to USA announcement was the same month but most articles I’m finding are in august of that year.
Regardless, it’s not a coincidence. Why would WWE move a show against a competitor marketing to the same audience and have to fight for viewers when Tuesdays was right there the whole time and they moved there anyways? There’s only one logical answer but dorx is too busy getting dragged by fan to admit that clearly obvious answer. |

I’m sure counter-programming was a happy little byproduct of airing Wednesdays (which worked, by the way — AEW is cold), but WWE clearly operates for profits first. Getting NXT on television was a way to make up for the costs the Performance Center runs up. |

TV deals don’t happen overnight. WWE has a lot of sway with USA, sure, but they’ve got to have a programming schedule too. It’s AEW-centric myth that this was all about them. If Rhodes to the Top was still on, people would claim that WWE was doing the Graves & Carmella show to spite AEW.
WWE Evil? I’m sure that’s there so that AEW can’t do something on some night too. |

Fuck your stupid smark articles, AEW TRADEMARKED a different day, that is public fucking record! If WWE had this grand plan to air against AEW, they would have negotiated against keeping their Wednesday spot from the start. And here is point 9 I left out, but you brought it up so... 9. What makes you think Vince McMahon can just tell a Network to air his show? If Vince has that power that he can just tell a Network when to air his show and how much they have to pay him to do so, why does Vince not have 7 different shows worth a Billion dollars each? You talk about logic, would that not be logical? WWE is doing record business for their content, but they just don't feel like making another $5 billion? Seems like if Vince can just tell a Network he wants a show and poof, it is on the air, it is only logical that he would just tell TV Networks to air more of his shows? Fucking Dubbalos man. |

I’m willing to bet none of the geniuses that posted after xrod actually addressed his points. Probably insulted him and acted like the conversation isn’t worth having because they can’t actually think of anything.

Nah. Just a thumbs up for Damien and me and Dale coming up with some cool nicknames. “Ignoring” posters only to still constantly reply to their posts with an inaccurate idea of the conversation is the most Derpfect shit imaginable.
It’s been proven undeniably that you literally post shit based on a fantasy land that exists only in your head but you really love driving the point home still. |

Just remember, guru Dave, who Noid alleges to have blocked, posted the Rock returned. And Noid, who doesn’t watch or read Dave’s posts, allegedly, replied to the bait and stated in a matter of fact way that only the Internet complains about the rock returning. Then, when he got caught being a gullible idiot, tried to back track and say his post was written that, but certainly wasn’t saying what he said.
That should’ve told everybody on the forum that he’s a waste of time discussing anything. Not to mention the time fan has exposed his made up narratives and events that never happened. |

Week two of unopposed Dynamite:
1.104 mil in 2021 versus 930k in 2022. Down about 16%. |

Certain posters who shall remain nameless didn't even know there was a view post button until a couple days ago.
You know who you are and you know I still love you but toxicity flows through my veins and it never stops. |

Lol yes, Seph.
I only fiddled with the ignore feature years ago. Never actually used it. The idea of someone “flexing” that they have someone on ignore and then clicking “view post” to view the posts anyway is hilarious on many different levels though. Last edited by #1-norm-fan; 04-24-2022 at 09:58 PM. |

Lol If screech or Vito get caught lying about having someone on ignore or clicking “view post” to view the posts of someone they have on ignore it will be hilarious as well. Until then...

I've used the view post button before. It's kinda useful when you need context to a discussion going on around you that doesn't make sense due to one or more people being blocked.

I used to do this, but I also have an impulsive nature. I won’t be able to ignore certain spouts of stupidity. So I do it to edify myself too. Plus, it is fun to see how they get all weird about it when you block them. Guru Dave will occasionally prompt someone else to let me know about a thread they’ve created or create an alt account to get my attention.
There are some posters that just offer nothing. Sometimes they used to. #fan was not always horrible. He probably doesn’t think he’s changed, but he adds NOTHING in regards to actual discussion. I can’t speak to his classic wrestling threads, because I avoid them, but he adds NOTHING anymore. I’ll give my honest opinions and throw out crazy ideas. He adds NOTHING. It’s all trying to bait people and catch them in gotcha’s because he needs a target. It makes my experience so much more pleasant for me. Selfishly. I don’t need to read a racist joke or put it to the back of my mind as I talk about who has the best arm drags. It’s fucking fine with me. |

Absolutely. I do this, but I’ll never actually respond because I’ve put that extra step between myself and “fuck this guy.” Sometimes it’s a good point (Dale is not an idiot), but I don’t engage because why bother when you blocked it in the first place?
