GOOD MORNING SIR. CW has less viewers than TBS so technically Dynamite should be winning. Yet NXT rapes it every week even with this handicap. Dave babbles nonsense about "muh cable vs network differences" in order to obfuscate this fact.

This sentence complete nonsense.

>>19146985
The CW is in 20 million more homes than cable. The "Less viewers" stat comes from the rest of its content outside of NXT being shit and not drawing a big number from those 20 million more homes. Both Dave and the person responding to him agree that CW has a "network advantage" over cable, which it does in terms of potential viewers. You don't accept that because you don't know what any of the words mean that you are using because you are dumb.

>Dave babbles nonsense about "muh cable vs network differences"

What is your understanding of how Smackdown did much better ratings on FOX than it did on USA? If you don't believe that network TV has an advantage, then do you actually believe that Smackdown suddenly got randomly popular when it went to FOX and then suddenly became much less popular when it went back to USA? Is that what you think?
>>
The bottom line is Dave is a wrestling pundit only. He doesn't know shit about the TV business. Every time he opens his mouth about TV ratings he looks like a fool. He should stick to grifting his lackeys for $11 / mo for his subjective match ratings and regurgitating the misinformation he's fed to work the smarks.

Quite literally Japan is nearly dead with attendance in every promotion. They have no major Tv deals and pro wrestling has never been MORE dead in the country ever in the history of mankind.

Indies have never been more irrelevant since anyone who is anyone has been signed by TKO/AEW. Even the commentaries suck because no one is good anymore .

The state of pro wrestling is in worse shape since Dave and his smarks have influence on the business . Everything is going backwards when it’s comes to anything besides TKO.

Win? You’re a fucking loser if you think you’ve won anything .

Shitposting aside, Dave was the man and the giant weekly newsletter isn't what it once was, but there is still nothing like it. Apter mags had a team and sold a ton of magazines, but 1980s Dave by himself without internet blew them out of the water information wise. Frank Deford didn't call him "the most accomplished reporter in sports journalism" for no reason. Cranky 66 year old Twitter Dave is not his legacy.

CW has no advantage. TBS has far more viewers. Which means that NXT is handicapped yet it's still wiping the floor with AEW. You think you're smart but you're actually an idiot who doesn't understand the things that people are saying I'm afraid.
>What is your understanding of how Smackdown did much better ratings on FOX than it did on USA?
FOX has an advantage over USA. CW has no advantage over TBS. It's all very simple to understand. Unfortunately you're so retarded that even this extreme level of simplicity goes over your head.
>>
>>19149962
>being in 20 million more homes is not an advantage
How so?
>TBS has far more viewers
When you say this, you do not understand what it means. What you think it means is that TBS has a greater population of potential viewers, but that isn't the case. What is happening is that TBS shows draw better and more consistent viewers from a smaller potential population of people than CW has access to because their content is generally more engaging. The CW's shows for the most part draw poorly from a bigger potential population of viewers, the exception being NXT which draws about as well as it did on cable and in addition it gets a boost from the fact it is in more homes than it was on cable. It makes no sense to say that because CW shows perform poorly on average, that therefore NXT should also perform poorly.

>>
>>19150101
>How so?
TBS has far more viewers than CW. So being in 20 million more homes obviously doesn't give CW any kind of advantage. Being available to tens of millions of households means absolutely fucking nothing when only a relatively tiny fraction of those households actually tune in.
>What you think it means is that TBS has a greater population of potential viewers
No, TBS has a greater population of active viewers.
>potential
I'm not talking about potential.
>blah blah blah
NXT over-delivers on CW. Dynamite under-delivers on TBS. Are you starting to understand?
>>
>>19150892
Being in 20 million more homes is an advantage in terms of ratings, all other things being equal. Even despite being in more homes CW content draws less viewers on average than TBS does, hence your talking point "TBS has more viewers than CW", and this is because CW content is mostly garbage. But NXT had an existing viewerbase and your "less viewers" talking point does not apply to it because it is an outlier on CW. You do not actually understand the point you are making.
>means absolutely fucking nothing when only a relatively tiny fraction of those households actually tune in.
But those extra households that CW has access to *do* tune in for NXT which is why their ratings on CW are slightly higher than they were on cable. Do you understand?

TBS has more viewers than CW because of shows like AEW pushing TBS's viewership average higher.

so rampage got cancelled because it was too good for the average viewership of the network it was on?

You really struggle to understand anything that's being said. I think you are capable of holding maybe one idea in your head at any one time ("AEW bad") anything else is too taxing for you.

so rampage didn't get cancelled for that reason? I'm not sure why you're avoiding the question tho anon

Can you explain to me why you or anyone would think Rampage was cancelled for having above average viewership?
>>
>>19151302
nobody would ever think that anon, which is why you saying that aew contributes to a high average viewership is confusing
>>
>>19151321
maybe he means that cancelling rampage increased the average viewership?
>>
>>19151321
AEW's ratings are included in the average TBS viewership which you referred to many times when you said TBS gets more viewers than CW. Unless the figure you are referring to is "TBS viewers excluding AEW shows" which would be a weird stat for people to collect.
>>
>>19151361
right but aew is contributing to average viewership in a negative way considering that TBS beats the CW in literally every other timeslot
>>
>>19151373
NXT being an outlier on CW doesn't relate to AEW being a negative. AEW would be an outlier on CW too.

of course it does you fuckin idiot. If aew's ratings are significantly lower than other shows on TBS (they are) then aew is an outlier.

As has been explained many times, anon. CW is in 20 million more homes than TBS so NXT's cable audience + new CW viewers gave them a slight edge over Dynamite. if AEW were on network TV, then they would have the edge, but it isn't.

Indies are also terrified to make fun of WWE (all their indy/NIL programs) and AEW (letting their wrestlers work indies), so it's not the edgy shit we used to be able to see.

Nobody's going to cut a promo telling Tony Khan or Triple H to suck his dick, because it's no longer just a death sentence for that wrestler, but for the entire company.
>>
>>19151698
The reason is because CW is in 20 million more homes and NXT gets a viewership boost from being on network tv that it did not get when it was on cable.

I don't know how many times I need to explain this. Do you understand it yet? Do you understand that TBS content being on average "more watched" than CW does not have any bearing on NXT's ratings?

This figure means that most TBS shows are more engaging than most CW shows. What argument do you believe yourself to be making here? NXT is still in more homes than it was when it was on cable, it still gets a boost despite the rest of CW content not being a draw relative to TBS.

why is that so hard to understand
>>
>>19151935
I am not avoiding it, I am explaining to you repeatedly why that is the case, and the reason is that the "small" channel is in 20 million more homes than the "big" channel, despite TBS content being watched more on average than CW content with the exception of NXT which brought its existing cable audience to CW and received a boost from the extant CW viewers.

No it isn't, because those 20 million more homes that CW is available in aren't watching CW. Availability is a meaningless metric. The only thing that matters is how many people are actually watching. Not how many people could theoretically watch if they wanted to but don't.
>You do not actually understand the point you are making.
Nah that's you. My whole point is that NXT is more popular than Dynamite. Shills like Dave try to use an excuse that NXT only does higher ratings because "muh network vs cable" but that doesn't apply in this case, because in this case the cable channel(TBS) is a lot more popular than the broadcast channel(CW). Network vs cable isn't a factor here. The sole reason why NXT beats Dynamite in the ratings is that people like NXT more.

Ospreay is only known to a small handful of wrestling fans in the west and he's only liked by an even smaller handful of them. His fans are fat, retarded neckbeards who only pretend he's good because Dave Meltzer told them to. Even a lot of AEWtists don't like him which is why his segments always bomb in the ratings. Bron Breakker is infinitely more known, over, and respected than Ospreay ever will be.

>Dave try to use an excuse that NXT only does higher ratings because "muh network vs cable" but that doesn't apply in this case, because in this case the cable channel(TBS) is a lot more popular than the broadcast channel(CW)
I feel like I've probably explained this about 20 times previously in this thread. The fact that ON AVERAGE shows on TBS do better than CW shows is completely and utterly irrelevant to the fact that NXT gets a small boost from being on network tv. Why don't you understand this?

>The sole reason why NXT beats Dynamite in the ratings is that people like NXT more
Anon, if this was true NXT would have beaten Dynamite when it was on cable, but it didn't! It lost! When they were evenly matched and were both on the same day and the same night, one show beat the other. Now one of the shows is on a different channel that has access to more homes than it did previously. So when you combine the audience who watched NXT on cable and followed it to CW *with* the new CW audience who now watch NXT, it results in a higher number!

Those "20 million more homes" may as well not exist because they aren't watching CW. The vast majority of homes that CW is available in aren't watching CW. Availability does not equal actual viewership. I can't tell if you're acting stupid just to troll or if you actually are this stupid.
>the fact that NXT gets a small boost from being on network tv
NXT gets no boost from being on network TV. TBS is the bigger channel.
>>
I genuinely feel like this issue is an actual IQ filter moment for the anti-AEW posters. Their brains cannot tease apart the two concepts of viewers vs homes. There is no way for them to break down components of the numbers they quote. To them, TBS shows getting higher week-to-week viewers than CW means that TBS is "bigger" despite CW's potential viewer ceiling being many times greater.

>Those "20 million more homes" may as well not exist
They do exist, anon! A small proportion of them are watching NXT now! That's why NXT's network tv number is higher than it was on cable!
>NXT gets no boost from being on network TV.
So in your view, NXT moving to a channel and getting a small boost in viewership, and that channel being accessible by 20 million more homes have absolutely NO relation whatsoever? Where did the new viewers come from? NXT's numbers went up on CW. Where did those new people suddenly come from if they aren't just regular CW watchers tuning into NXT? What's your explanation for the increase? My explanation makes perfect sense. Your explanation (I would love to hear it) I am assuming is something like NXT suddenly and very specifically getting an organic viewership boost that purely coincidentally absolutely perfectly coincides with its move to a network accessible by more homes. That's pretty curious!

source?
>>
>>19154286
It's not about the source, anon. It's about whether you have a brain or not. (You don't)
>>
>>19154297
ok so there's no source and it's just your headcanon cope? got it thx
>>
>>19154305
Jamal you need to stop replying to me. AEW isn't for your types. Don't worry about it.

>concedes again
nigga I already accepted it my nigga you can just STFU now fr
>>
>>19154276
Are you an actual retarded person? The existing viewers followed NXT to the new channel, and because it was new programming on an existing channel, existing viewers of CW also tuned into the new show
>>
>>19154346
Holy shit, you get it! Finally! That's what I've been saying this entire thread.
>existing viewers of CW also tuned into the new show
Yes, and these viewers are a small part of the 20 million new potential people that NXT has access to on CW that they didn't on cable. Which is why them going to network tv is giving them a small ratings boost! You've cracked the code!
>>
>>19154376
why don't all the other shows on the CW get that ratings boost and beat TBS? also why is dynamite like 300k fewer viewers than the TBS average?
>>
>>19154386
Because those shows are all shit and don't have the pre-existing cable audience of NXT. Remember NXT is the Hulk Hogan of The CW. Nobody cares about the jobber shows.
>also why is dynamite like 300k fewer viewers than the TBS average?
I have no idea, depends what average you're looking at, ratings get enormous swings depending on day and timeslot and what's being shown. I can find TBS averages for you right now that are lower than what Dynamite does, but I won't abuse that and try and hoodwink you over it because I'm an honest person and only care about what's true, anon.
>>

R Fraid so

>>19154405
>I can find TBS averages for you right now
I know what it averages.
>>
>>19154416
I'll be really honest, I don't think you know shit, anon. I think your brain is made of dog shit and you've never done PCA on any data set in your life.
>>
>>19154430
oh you're doing PCA and datasets and not just headcanoning reasons why aew gets bent over by NXT every week? damn anon share that shit with the group in that case
>>
>>19154443
I've explained why NXT does better on CW than it did on cable about fifty times already, anon. Every time I type it to you, you respond with "concession accepted, nigga!" I don't know what else you want. Maybe to go smoke some more crack?
>>
>>19154376
NXT getting a boost of 50K or so viewers cannot be explained by point to 20,000,000+ more households which - once again, because you are retarded and still don't understand - the vast majority of those households are on OTA/antenna and not counted or reported by Nielsen. CW costs a fraction of that TNT/TBS costs, just like QVC, Hallmark and other SHIT channels, and it has limited hours of programming (only 8-10pm on weeknights). NBC has the Today Show, Late Night, etc, CW has none of that.

The story of how you would tell things makes no sense, and makes you sound fucking retarded for believing it. We're supposed to believe that there's 100,000+ households (comprising around 20% of the total NXT audience) who, until late 2024, followed exactly 0 wrestling promotions and either only had broadcast channels on a cable/satellite/MVPD plan, or had a plan that specifically excluded TNT/TBS. Then once NXT magically landed on CW, those 100,000+ households started watching NXT religiously, week in and week out, as if their lives depended on it. Such that NXT dropped in viewership, every single one of these 100k stuck around, because if they didn't, then the numbers don't work out.

Do you seriously not realize how fucking retarded it makes you sound to believe this? It's an Occam's Razor situation, AEW is blowing dick right now because the show fucking sucks. It's doing dogshit numbers everywhere including YouTube for a reason. It's not because a mythical X million households have CW but not TNT/TBS and are pushing them over the top, AEW is just that fucking bad and keeps cratering.

Lol. Why the fuck not? Yes, it can.

It's completely plausible and factual, yes. Please explain where the new NXT viewers came from if not from CW.
>>
>>19146798
Its a tie between him and every other wrestling "journalist."
>>
>NXT magically landed on CW
I like how, in trying to paint the scenario as implausible, you decided to frame the move of NXT onto CW as being somehow a magical and preposterous event.
>>
>>19154542

NXT used to simulcast on Peacock.

A.C. Nielsen has been doing antenna ratings since the 1950s. When they say half the nation watches the Super Bowl, much of that is over the air.
>>
>>19160923
Nielsen for the last ten years even has people wearing devices out in public to track viewing at bars and airports. Cornette recently got offered to do this.
>>
>>19161083
Really? That's now they track it?
>>
>>19151636
Wow AEW is doing a lot worse than the rest of the programming on tbs
>>

>Japan
The funniest thing about that statement is that despite him mythologizing the Four Pillars or him shilling Nu Jamal stuff back when they were relevant, Not a single Japanese fans or wrestlers even noticed him. They probably don't even know who he is or even cared for his star ratings
>>
>>19151831
No
>>
>>19153768
how come when the young bucks attacked their boss and did this huge angle where they took over the show for months, no one cared. They lost viewers, the story went absolutely no where, no one came out better for it, no new stars were created from it. My point is, if they are such huge stars in the business, shouldn't it have mattered more?
>>
>inherenly difference
And Dave isn't the jeet in the conversation. Grim.

he will cry after this

>Apter mags had a team and sold a ton of magazines, but 1980s Dave by himself without internet blew them out of the water information wise.
the Apter mags were never an attempt to cover 'facts' they were kayfabe publications. They weren't competing against each other and basically every magazine would have paid ads from Dave if you wanted to subscribe to the Observer as well.

Dave Meltzer is the Serebii of wrestling. Incredibly annoying, incredibly autistic, and any semblance of criticism sends them into a tailspin.
