Will this be able to draw a milly?
>>
No. Are you retarded? AEW's best hope is if someone like JR or Flair dies.
>>
>>14406016
It's drawn my curiosity, as a Tiny hater who doesn't watch.
>>
>>14406016
Who cares? It's the most entertaining thing AEW has done in ages
>>
aew will never draw a million again. they have none of the momentum of the time where they were consistently in the ballpark, and cable subscriptions shrink every year.
>>
>>14406016
it'll ptobably do worse than the other quarters cause it has both the Bucks, Perry, Okapoo and Tiny in it, might even lose to the womemes
>>
>>14406016
Good for AEW on having a built angle and sticking to it. Let's see what they do with it now.
>>
>>14406016
No. But it's a step in the right direction cause the angles have been very stale lately
>>
>>14406016
Nah the way to tell if it’s working is the rating for next week since it was a cliffhanger
>>
why would anyone tune in for tony khan's death before it actually happened?
>>
If this somehow gets a milly then Tony will appear on the show every week
>>
>>14406016

The only way this shit can draw a million of Shahid Khan shows up, says the show is retarded and fires everyone, puts competent writers and restarts from scratch.
>>
>>14406016
Tony is taller than 3 of these guys
>>
Unironically this is the exact kind of thing they need to do to grow viewership. They build to this angle throughout the night to give people a reason to keep watching. They had a satisfying pay off for those who stuck around to watch and left with that need to tune in next week to see the follow up. If they can keep doing that it will build hype back up. Also the rest of the show was pretty good as well.

Hope it does sub 700K

this won't even draw 800k

when will you retards learn that it's over for AEW, the 500 geeks that rate bangers on cagematch will hate this and normal people have moved on

I think this is a good idea for AEW but if Tony Khan has been such a huge wrestling fan for much of his life, why didn't he bother to learn how to sell a punch?

Long time E-drone here, I hated AEW for a long and would only watch bits and pieces of it, but it's starting to become entertaining.

The backstage video release has kept me interesting in watching it and it honestly put Junglebitch over with the scapegoat shit.

Ospreay taking a shot at Paul and having meltzer wet dream banger vs Bryan.

Also Swerve is over with me since the hangman match and happy he is champ now.

AEW is lowkey cooking and Omega is coming back apparently. This EVP angle is going good so far.
>>
>>14406232
>Omega is coming back apparently
He's just showing up because they are in Winnipeg and the Bucks will probably screw him over in some way for heat. He has to get surgery still.

>the unlikable heels attack the little bitch boss

I have no idea what the story is here or who I'm supposed to root for? Tony's not an on screen character so he has no friends to help him. All this does is make me laugh. Is this how they write Tony out of AEW? ... Or is he just going to show up at a ppv with some new secret crazy debut to kick the Cuck's ass?
>>
>>14407605
EVPs regularly pull the "fuck with us and you're fired" card, watch the show. Might as well ask why beatdowns ever happen on wrestling shows.
>>
How is something nobody knew was going to happen supposed to boost ratings? Logically.

Like, announcing Stone Cold is on the show NEXT WEEK will boost ratings for the show NEXT WEEK. But if Austin just randomly showed up, it's not boosting ratings because nobody knew to tune in.

Tony being a nervous wreck fearing from his life from the entire staff would be KINO.

Imagine Tony being wheeled around in a neckbrace and wheelchair and he's just on edge constantly. Someone reaches to shake his hand and he just recoils in terror and fear that he's being assaulted. And he gets so pissed he books that guy in a 3v1 handicap match as punishment.

Shit like that. KINO

>Young bucks not only go to their fucking house and stop gaying up the show but they seem to be reproducing asexually and now there's a third one
Are you high on dry donkey piss? This will be a big dip in ratings
Kenny or shahid may be draws, but no one knew shahid would be there and it's not advertised to show up next week either
>>
>>14406116
This is how tony thinks and it's fucking wrong. has been happening for weeks, he puts a mediocre show and hopes to build a "good" moment at the end, but due to the shitshow itself by the time the big thing happens theres only 600k people watching with luck
So the same 600k retards are permanently in a state of
>lol such good shit it will be a million no doubt, well or at least rating will go up
And everyone else not from planet retard
>Well let's see if it's watchable today. No, still fucking shite let's see something else
>AEW what's this?? Oh it's fucking shite, not watching this till the end
>>
>>14406016
lol fuck no. It's all wrong: the Young Cucks, Okada, and Jack Perry aren't draws and Tony is trying to cast himself as the babyface when he's the main target of criticism for fucking up AEW. Maybe it would work if Tony was an over the top heel version of himself cranking up all his flaws to 11 and feuding with likeable faces. But this shit doesn't work at all.

>>14408261
This guy gets it. Ie you can't upload a funny clip on youtube if the funny bit happens 20 mins in.
You need to actually put something good at the start to make people enjoy it from the get go and RETAIN the viewership
Tonys understanding of how to book a show is all framed around the watching habbits of no lifer mega marks who will religiously watch the entire show no matter what.
There is no one people havent already told him this, hes just a stubborn autistic retard

Okada looks so fucking awkward and out of place. Why the fuck did they think this was a good direction for him? Making him some weird bucks henchman that just stands around, out of place. Completely killed his mystique and he's barely even started.
>>
>>14406044
This is true, but it's entertaining in a train wreck kind of way.
>>

This.
>>14407517
Also this. The Bucks are literal FtM troons and so is Tony.
>>
>>14406044
It involves the bucks and Jungle boy so I'm gonna have to call bullshit on that.
>>
>>14407711
Tony is a biological female. They're all self-marks who are incapable of being the butt of the joke. A paranoid autistic toy master GM gimmick would generate an unreal amount of dimes, but you need a man's mentality to live out the absurdity. Vince didn't give a fuck about making himself look stupid in attempts get his roster more over. Tony would never.
>>
>>14409120
has to be bucks ego, agreed its the stupidest thing they could have done with him. Hes already just a shitter henchman that cant talk next to the comedy midget bros
>>
>>14409166
for all vinces faults and retarded booking, in alot of angles he got "it" and would massivley put people over and be the ultimate jerk or butt of the joke, he would seek out the dimes no matter what

on paper it sounded terrible just like showing the punk/jungle boy perry video but it's off to a great start, or are you still praising WWE for pivoting from having rock vs. roman and pretending that the backlash and ultimate pivot to cody vs. the bloodline pt 2 from that isn't the only reason H doesn't look like an awful booker.
>>
>>14406283
i've been trying to say that cornette ultimately winding up as part of AEW would be awesome for years now. that MMA guy they had was basically a cornette parody with an mma gimmick that fell through but he was getting great heat
>>
>>14406016
Doesn't make sense since Tiny already came out on GayEW once to fire someone for making him feel like his life was in danger
>>
>>14406016
Not this time. It happened at the end of the show, so people will probably tune next week to see if it goes anywhere.

I wish they'd just book coherently instead of just trying random shit to pop a rating. The car crash stopped being interesting years ago.
>>
>>14406016
You can see the heat evaporating in real time. Why is jungle jack standing like that? Look at the fucking bucks. These goofs are handed gold and turn it back into lead.
>>
>>14406232
>put Junglebitch over with the scapegoat shit.
No it didn't. Is this what the TDF's new marching orders are? It confirmed exactly what CM Punk said. In fact, you better hope it didn't put Luke Perry's son over as a scapegoat because that would mean Tony is the biggest shoot retard of all time.
>>
>>14407632
Yeah but it doesn't work when the person you're fucking with is your boss.
