It’s like on TEW where you have a guy whose a great technical wrestler but with zero star quality/zero potential for a push so you whore him out in technical masterclass matches in the opener every week to exploit crowd mechanics and the rating system
Unfortunately for Tony, Kyle Fletcher isn’t a great technical wrestler and this isn’t TEW, it’s real life
>>
>>15741139
it's a wrestling company. do you expect tony to book PPV quality matches from top to bottom on every show? the goal was for okada to have a great match and go over. who would you book instead of kyle for this job? there are correct options to pick from here, but they all have equal or less credibility than him.

Then Okada should have turned against the Young Cucks and pinned them both in a 5 minute handicap match. Having Okada wrestle a jobber for 19 boring minutes does nothing to get anyone over. Now he just looks like an even bigger geek for taking so long to pin a jobber.

Yes, and putting more emphasis on wrestling is a horrible mistake. Dynamite just did 660k because of it.

Well then AEW failed to meet that goal because Okada wrestling a heatless match against a jobber for 19 minutes makes for a terrible match. Just look at the plummet. Even AEW enjoyers weren't having that shit.
>a short "showcase" match
Short matches where Okada beats the shit out of AEW's top stars is what you need if you want to get him over at all. Right now he's just barely stronger than a jobber. How the fuck can people get behind him when he's so weak?

Well the audience at home didn't like Okada vs Fletcher very much and those are the people you need to focus on, not the smarks in the crowd. The ratings say Fletcher is a jobber and the ratings say the match was boring. That's reality. Deal with it.

Holy shit, a 174,000 drop off into Q2, good for a 21.5% drop. That has to be a record for Q1-Q2.

Also, check out that sub-600K qtr. I think that’s happened only one or twice before. Get used to that as the new normal in about 3 months.

Have you ever seen an obese couple waiting in an hour+ line to have dinner at a steakhouse? Doesn't happen, right? Because the kind of people willing to wait an hour in line to have dinner are more or less diametrically opposed from the kinds of people who sit and shove food down their throat while barely tasting or chewing it.

Likewise, the fans hooked by 15 minute promo segments are largely different from the fans overjoyed by 19 minute long jobber showcases. There was not enough catering to the middle. Garcia/MJF's segment was good but it dragged and lingered - could have easily cut off 4+ minutes. Okada/Fletcher could have cut off 8+ minutes if it's going to be a cheap finish anyway.

That creates 12+ minutes to have another match, entrances and all, to showcase another fan favorite or looming threat like Hologram, GYV or Acclaimed. There are ways to make these things without lurching back and forth to such a great degree.

>>15741414
>Nah, and when they don't you say they're failing for copying WWE.
When they don't? AEW has never placed enough emphasis on characters and storylines. But emphasis alone isn't enough, the characters and storylines need to be good. They managed to have a decent story for a little while with MJF and Adam Cole becoming friends but that reached its peak at All In 2023 and fell apart soon afterwards because nobody had any idea where to take that storyline next. That's what happens when you don't have writers.
>You're not arguing in good faith.
Nah, I always argue in good faith. All you do is get mad and throw your shit at the walls

Took less than 6 months for TK to kill Okada/ Mone.

Elite are still generating go-away heat on the ratings, while never being over with crowd. The Tag division continues rotting away while the Bucks hold the belts.

MJF is probably gonna put over Garcia Saturday and come out worse.

Jericho is still getting TV time.

Jack Perry is getting this dedicated push when they have Takeshita, Jay White, Miro, and Hobbs on their roster.

And all of these people easily make over a million+ a year on guaranteed contracts.
>>
>>15741414
it’s easier said than done but things would be so much better if they didn’t make so many odd choices. Okada feels like a normal guy when he should’ve been presented like their Ohtani. Giant free agent signing with a big press conference or something. Instead he’s 50/50 with fletcher for some reason?

And really heel Jack Perry wrestling for the world title? His heel run before the suspension actually fit, but this new character just doesn’t suit him at all. He’s not badass or intimidating at all. And the Raven poses are so cringe.
>>
>>15741474
this has to be in the talking points, right? To insist that all the haters are watching 100% of all AEW programming, and that's the only way people could possibly acquire the knowledge needed to make fun of it

Such retarded nonsense that only a 3rd world ESL paid/bribed shill would propagate. Over half of Dynamite viewers don't watch Rampage/Collision, but you think all the haters are DVR'ing it? 0 chance you believe that. Just going with the script in front of you because you have no original thoughts.

Daniel Garcia isn't a draw yet he gets pushed in major angles over and over again

The Elite vs. AEW storyline is in contention for worst wrestling angle of the year
The cutbacks in production make the entire show feel lifeless

Gee, I wonder why interest in AEW is at an all-time low. By the way, where the fuck did Ricochet go?
>>
>>15741272
I am an AEW fan, but barely now due to years of bad booking and decision making. You mentioned the cutbacks in production and that's a big one for me. I’ve seen some AEW fans criticise those who don’t like the show's dismal look, asking why crowd size and darkened arenas impact enjoyment of a wrestling show. Well the reason is simple. AEW wasn't just meant to be an alternative to WWE. It was also meant to be an alternative to the smaller companies we’d watched struggle for years, such as ROH and TNA. It was meant to bring some of that same sensibility and present it in a confident and glitzy package not seen since peak WCW in the 1990s. So when you tune in now and see tiny crowds, with lights turned down to mask the attendance, naturally it’s a bring down. It looks like one of those smaller struggling companies we’d see in years gone by, even if its position isn’t nearly as precarious.

I don’t know why AEW is so insistent on trying to make Jungle Boy a major player in that company. Maybe I’m naive, but I refuse to believe that his push is out of pettiness over the CM Punk stuff, the people in charge over there know better than that (I hope)

It genuinely feels like he’s being pushed because of who he’s friends with at this point. He can definitely contribute to the company, but I’m done with people trying to gaslight me into thinking Jungle Bot is this main event star, because he’s not. Even Stevie Wonder can see that

>the match is rated very well amongst AEW enjoyers.
Kek. Okada vs Fletcher was the second lowest rated segment of the night. The chart literally shows people changing the channel on it.
>and you want this on free TV?
Yes.
>TV is where top stars beat lower level guys to build toward their next big match. this is literally booking 101 lil bro.
No, TV is where you're supposed to pop a rating so your show can generate ad revenue and you don't get canceled. You're supposed to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Dull 19 minute long matches where a bore like Okada wrestles a jobber like Fletcher is literal ratings poison.

Turning Mercedes into a promo girl isn't her best use. And its time to acknowledge that her "personal writer" they hired fucking sucks. Its a writer from bad late Vince WWE times, what the fuck did anyone think was going to happen
>>
Getting close to NXT numbers again. Imagine barely being able to beat a developmental show with mostly unknown and new talent, vs established talent that quite a few fans know already on a flagship show on the go home episode of a major PPV for your company.

I don't want AEW to fail because carnies and jobbers do need jobs, but people need to realize that management doesn't know what they're doing. But hey, TK wanted all his stock with the elite and chose Jack Perry over CM Punk.

Tony only has less than a dozen Bucks appearances left before he has to start paying them double. Who fucking makes these contracts? Tony is NOT a business man.
>>
>>15741550
You're right on this, they have Okada all wrong. He should be the guy choking until the 4 count, attacking after the bell, looking like the biggest asshole on the entire roster.

They should have it coordinated with production, someone makes an anti-Okada sign, he doesn't just have the sign taken away - he has the fan EJECTED from the building, "either he goes or I'm not wrestling !" You want heat? That's it right there.

Jack Perry, I don't even know how you fix that one. He needs to put on about 20lbs of muscle to be taken seriously, so he should have a shirt on 95% of the time, same with Ricky Starks. The dorks in the crowd are willing to pretend, the at-home audience is rolling their eyes.

Well duh. Garcia right off the bat means everyone is going to find something else to watch. And no actual wrestling fan wants to see an Okada match with ad breaks. Back when AEW was good it started with an ad-free match every single week and that's when they could actually bill themselves as a promotion for wrestling fans. Now it's just budget WWE.

Okada should've come in as an arrogant asshole who thinks he's better than everyone, started beating the fuck out of AEW's upper card in quick matches from day one, and it builds to a PPV where he goes for the world title and just barely loses. Afterwards he starts mercilessly bullying midcarders and jobbers as a cope for his bruised ego while avoiding the upper card like a chicken because his confidence is shook. There, I just spent 30 seconds writing a better arc for Okada than anyone at AEW did.

Pic related is what minute to minutes actually look like. Viewership fluctuates wildly during an episode and yes, a show that averages like .15 in the demo https://ustvdb.com/networks/tbs/shows/big-bang-theory/ is not pulling .28 quarters, it's a top of the hour bump during primetime.

Great points. I am an AEW fan, but barely now due to years of bad booking and decision making. You mentioned the cutbacks in production and that's a big one for me. I’ve seen some AEW fans criticize those who don’t like the show's dismal look, asking why crowd size and darkened arenas impact enjoyment of a wrestling show. Well the reason is simple. AEW wasn't just meant to be an alternative to WWE. It was also meant to be an alternative to the smaller companies we’d watched struggle for years, such as ROH and TNA. It was meant to bring some of that same sensibility and present it in a confident and glitzy package not seen since peak WCW in the 1990s. So when you tune in now and see tiny crowds, with lights turned down to mask the attendance, naturally it’s a bring down. It looks like one of those smaller struggling companies we’d see in years gone by, even if its position isn’t nearly as precarious. After AEW hit those brief yet major heights in 2021-22, it’s a real shame to see. The “alternative” argument always drove me nuts. When I asked for an alternative, I wasn’t looking for another dimly lit, cheap looking indie. The market has been flooded with those for years. The one guy who had a chance to match WWE production levels completely failed and has now left us with this dark, lifeless, void of atmosphere environment that is just hard to watch. A horribly booked show that has the same vibe as late 2010s ROH/TNA is not what any of us asked for.

Seriously, how much of this is due to the trouble at WB? I asked this a while back but there was a time that AEW was all over TBS and TNT marketing. Has that stopped or something? this is a huge drop from YTY. A 26% loss in total viewers from a year ago and 41% in the demo isn’t an outlier. I don’t follow AEW nearly as close as I should due to my own feelings about the product, but has it really turned off that many fans?
>>
>>15743431
Their problem has always been that their stories are too bland. It isn't must see TV. They need writers. Always needed them. I'm sorry lads, but wrestlers themselves can't tell good stories consistently, that's why they wrestle. Two years ago, they had the opportunity to build Hangman as their face of the company alas John Cena of 2005-2009. Didn't happen. MJF has become boring because he never had a real rival in the company to run with. You need long term duos to build great wrestling personalities. John Cena always had Orton. Stone Cold had the Rock. Angle had Lesner. Promo work is generally very, very weak. Everyone has pretty much same-ish gimmicks. There is no consistency in the stories. They don't last long term. Heels are just trying to be cool heels. Faces are all these I'm so hard all I want to do is wrestle strong style. There is no diversity. Pro wrestling on TV will never work like on the indie scene with just pure wrestling. It needs drama. There is no Drama in AEW. Swerve run as World champ was disgustingly bland. Before him Samoa Joe's run was sad. Before him, the MJF's run lacked a real rival. They did some good work with Adam Cole, but they rushed it too soon. Think back on how much better the Jericho and Kevin Owens run was in comparison to the MJF/Cole. Its just a sad state of affairs.

As the owner himself puts it "I book for the sickos", the product is pretty nonsensical if you don't have 10 years of Indie wrestling knowledge that is pretty much a prerequisite to understand what the fuck is going on, effectively gating away any normie who might stumble on the show while flipping channels. I don't think Tony even bothers promoting his show nowadays, this last Dynamite was literally ONLY promoted on his own Twitter account. The "fans" literally tells you to not watch the show, they antagonize anyone who might have the mildest of criticism imaginable. Honestly the company would be a million times betters if Tony hired a competent booker and a bunch of writers, they don't even have to be good, this is wrestling after all, just a college kid who would write a coherent story for the wrestlers to follow.

>the product is pretty nonsensical if you don't have 10 years of Indie wrestling knowledge that is pretty much a prerequisite to understand what the fuck is going on
correct! and that is what i just mentioned as well. and even then you wont know whats going on because it still doesnt make any sense. take a guy like vikingo coming in and doing his 50 rehearsed gymnastic moves on a guy as fast as he can. its not even wrestling anymore

No shit? Hmm. Okay, maybe there's some crossover there (sports), unlike the Big Bang Theory where 200k nope out in the first 5 mins.

Anybody watch "HEELS"? I got thru S1, but couldn't finish the S2 premiere. They made a women the men's champion. Kinda like how AEW made a man the women's champion.

If you look at what was once one of the most successful and influential indie promotions of all time, Ring of Honor, you'll also notice that in their prime they had a very competent booker. Shows weren't just wrestling, they had angles and feuds too, mid card comedy feuds to main event blood feuds. People were faces or heels and changing their alignment took some real effort. Yes, their lower card was six man spot fests to get the crowd excited but their main events and crowd drawing feuds were pretty standard pro wrestling shit that would work on TV, if someone tried to do it.

The thing is both TK and his indie shitters lack an essential understanding of the mechanics of wrestling storytelling. The heels all want to be badasses instead of stooging, the faces want to be edgy instead of good, and everyone's too embarrassed about their craft for sincerity.

You forgot 4th of July weekend, big episode of South Park, Trump shooting being the same week, DVR's not working, TNT not scheduling all their programming on tv guides correctly, people going to the lake, power outage somewhere, etc.

Still don't get how Tony thinks he deserves a raise for this. If WBD just renewed the deal for the same amount, that's fine but if they overpay for this shit, then they are fucking retards and it's not wonder they are almost bankrupt

why would I bother learning about 3rd world slave states? you are on an American website, speaking American to talk about an American tv show. the rest of the world literally is not relevant
