Yes, NXT won. But really, AEW won.
>>16466964>"AEW isn't competing with NXT, and even if it was, they would be winning anyway"
>>16466964>Autistic Jewish mental gymnasticsAmazing.
>>16466964moral victory chads, we won
>>16466964neither won. they are both terrible
Does CW even have a huge advantage over TBS? I know that technically it's available in more homes, but it's not considered a premier channel. It's not that well known, and all their hit shows were really just hits on Netflix, not really on the actual channel. CW doesn't get very much attention and it's not as well known as TBS.
>>16466964Based. Doubling down on stupid shit seems to be the only way edrones operate so why not play their game too
>>16467011I don't know about the live sports but CW shows not named NXT are like 300/400k at best.
>>16466964Contradicts himself in the same exact tweet. What a jabroni.
>>16467011>Does CW even have a huge advantage over TBS? I know that technically it's available in more homesAnswered your own question before you tried to cope your way out of it. Look at the difference between Smackdown's numbers on Fox compared to USA. That's the difference basic cable and network tv
>>16467019And they've only gotten into live sports extremely recently.
>>16467022I mean, I have channels like Cozi and Comet available to me through my antenna, and I don't get the Paramount Network in my Sling package, but I'm pretty sure Yellowstone is getting way better numbers than anything on Cozi.
>>16467011TBS is a much stronger channel than CW
This argument falls apart when you look at how most CW shows can barely get 300k
>>16467053Are you implying WWE fans are too stupid to find CW?
>>16466964>muh moral victoryThis flippy-fellating goober is done.
>>16467037Congratulations to you and your antenna man
>>16467061I mean they must be, because an entire million of them haven't seemed to be able to find where Smackdown moved to
>>16467056No it doesn't. That just means there isn't interest in those shows. The argue is heavily supported when you see that Smackdown's numbers dropped by an entire milly just from moving from Fox to USA. Unless you're saying that many people suddenly became disinterested in WWE's product one week to the next. Using other shows doesn't mean anything. Think of half the shitty programming they put on USA. None of that has any bearing on how well or not Raw does
>>16467076When's the last time a million fans found Dynamite?
>>16467056>If you watch NXT then you MUST watch all of the other shows on the CW
>>16466964This guy sold his last bit of credibility to be a Tony Khan shill. Sad shit.
>>16467096>b-b-but AEWFucking yawn man. This whataboutism shit is so tired and it doesn't negate a single thing about Smackdown's numbers. AEW could have 2 million or 0 viewers and Smackdown's numbers would still be down from where they were before they moved. Them being on Fox was doing a shit ton of heavy lifting for them
>>16467061There's a big difference between a show like NXT that draws hundreds of thousands of people to the channel and shows like Dynamite which get less viewers than the big bang theory reruns that play before it and relies on them to fall asleep without changing the channel to pop a good rating
>>16467097It means that compared to other stuff on the network, it's doing amazingly. People don't watch CW. How do AEW numbers compare to Big Bang Theory?
both companies are garbage
If Dave is talking about the demo, he's right
>>16467110>AEW could have 2 million or 0 viewersIt's closer to zero viewers lmao.
>>16467114BBT is in the 100's now. Cable is dead https://www.spoilertv.com/2023/03/top-200-cable-reruns-week-ending-26th_01243089880.html?m=1
>>16467110seething circus transsexual
>>16467053I didn't even know Ion still existed.
Serious non-meme question - Why is Dave like this?Is he on AEW payroll?Does he genuinely 100% believe what he says?Is he autistic? And I don't mean this modern 'everyone has ADHD and autism autistic', I mean literal REAL autismIs he consulting AEW or secretly booking it?Does it cause him physical pain to just concede that he is incorrect on occasion?I don't think I've ever seen anyone go through so much mental gymnastics over the past 5 years AEW's been around than what we see from Dave everyday. Surely at this point it's more profitable to actually start scrutinizing AEW because that gives you more credibility as a journalist and you're more likely to gain subscribers, right? It refreshing even to see a someone say "You know what, I was wrong" than double-down. It's just bizarre watching him cope for all these years.I don't feel sorry for him, I'm just genuinely curious why he would be this way. Has he always been like this?
>>16467158>no argument, just squealingtiresome, boring
>>16467158>Serious non-meme question - Why is Dave like this?aew is his dream of what a wrestling promotion should be and he's done everything he can over the last 5 years to make it a success and he's asshurt normies have rejected it
>>16466964>AEW is not in competition with NXTuh-oh, don't let the "NXT RATINGS PLUMMET" tard see this
>>16466964Does Big Dave seriously not know how unpopular the CW network is in 2024? I thought he was supposed to be an expert on this stuff?
>>16466964HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>16467158AEW is shoot booked by Dave, if that shit dies so does his ideology of what wrestling should be, and so far it looks like Meltzerism wrestling is anti draw cancer that only 5 obese subhumans enjoy
It doesnt really matter and i doubt Dave cares what people think, but more people would take him seriously if he didnt come off as a shill. Just admit that the product is declining and needs to do something to turn it around alongside saying the demo is fine or that they beat NXT. There was once a time where it looked like they could actually start beating raw, and now its settling on, "well sometimes they beat NXT"
>>16467011Foreigners really can't seem to understand the difference between network tv/cable
>>16467123And Smackdown still lost an entire million just by moving channels. See how these two points are completely independent of each other? Unlike you being independent of your mother to cook you dinner
>>16467114Yeah that whole thank based Sheldon thing died months ago because people stopped watching that too kek. You're conflating so many different things that have no bearing just to undersell NXT benefiting from being on basic cable
>>16467110>Clicks on a thread comparing WWE to AEW>Gets pissy when someone brings up AEWTry to be less transparent lmao
>>16467378>oink oink oink oinkCan we get a translator in here? He's having a melty
>>16466964AEW's decline has actually broken Meltzer. It's weirdly sad to see.
>meltzer three months agocw is a weak channel, no one watches the cw, nxt will be their biggest show, I think nxt will get lower ratings on cw than they did on usa network>meltzer nowit's not fair to compare nxt to aew because nxt is on the cw which gives them an unfair advantage over aew
Do you really have to make a thread for everything Dave tweets
>>16466964>why is the jewish shareholder shilling so hard for a dying aew?
>>16467251>thing in decline>somehow everything is fineHe and tony are cut from the same cloth. Any working anon knows the manager who distracts themselves with non problems and the manager who pretends everything is fine when the business is going under. Maybe if either of them could admit to problems they'd solve them
>>16467386>oink oink oink oinkthis is what you piggies sound like. correct. especially when you have no argument left after you've played the "but aew" card
>>16467460>>thing in decline>>somehow everything is fineSmackdown December 8, 2023: 2.384 million viewersSmackdown December 6, 2024: 1.494 million viewers
>>16467745IN CASE YOU'VE BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK
>>16467011has NXT gained or lost in the ratings since it switched to CW?
>>16467745Yeah I'm not saying the WWE is in great shape, but NEET cope faggot. You get your distracting yourself from the reality of AEW being shit and dying to point fingers at a company that while shitty, isn't dying. You know the whole point I made about how failures distract themselves instead of addressing reality.
>>16466964KWAB
>>16467783>new TV deal>dyingflat earther shit, anon
>>16467781I didn't go back and look but I feel like it's been about the same if not a little lower. Except the first two episodes which were special episodes and got more than was average on USA.
>>16467158Dave gets a lot of payola to work the smarks
>Even when I lose I win.BASED
>>16466964>>16466986The Jew pilpul knows no bounds with Meltzer
Dave & co are so harsh toward wwe especially at the end of the VM era. Now their precious aew is failing & their hypocrisy in coverage is disgusting.
>>16467158I'm pretty sure that a few weeks ago Meltzer (or Brian, idk) said that Tony books "jokes" or storylines that only he and Meltzer know about, so at least it is confirmed that Tony talks with him about booking
>>16467446
>>16467158I just realized there's a non-zero possibility that Tony and Meltzer are gay lovers and am sickened
>>16469378
>>16467365That's wild that Smackdown lost almost double what Dyinhype draws in viewers and yet it STILL draws around 2-2.5 Dynamite's numbers.
