How did AEW lose more than half of their audience?
the life expectancy for LGBT is lower than the national average, unfortunately
>>20643899How did RAW lose 90%?
>>20643899I mean, have you seen it? (I wouldn't blame you if you haven't, not many have)
>>20643899RAW was losing about -400k per year during the 2010s to the last time it was on TV in 2024.AEW has averaged about -40k a year over the last 8 years, starting at 1.2M and now sitting around 700k weekly.WWE's clearly outpacing AEW....in terms of losing viewership. But that isnt the question you asked, so let me be fair and answer the question for real - they mainly lost viewers due to 2 big reasons:1) the CM punk fiasco and dragging out the 'footage' for months. this made them look like bush league hacks and the bucks fucked up by showing everyone footage that made tony look inept and jungle boi look like a bitch.2) the retarded "devilman" gimmick with adam cole and MJF that went on WAY too fucking long. I know people firsthand who gave up on AEW during this period because it fucking sucked and anyone who defends it is a shoot aewtranny.
Same way Smackdown and Raw did.
>>20643927trvth nvke
>>20643927>the bucks fucked up by showing everyone footagesup mark
>>20643899Because of the elite, hangman, Perry, and all the other anti draws that got pushed because of cagematch ratings and Meltzer stars.Also because they have ZERO marketability or cross promotional skills and always come off feeling like an Indy with a high budgetFinally cause of Tony's stupid ass booking that focuses more on the wrestling match itself than the guys in it. Any of these idiots are interchangeable with their super kicks and flips and gimmicks that are just "I wrestle good". Why should I care to tune in or pay to see any of them live?
AEW fans will never admit it but the loss of the Codyverse was a long term disaster for the company.
>>20645423Cody started hemorrhaging viewers for WWE too. The dude is literal poison to any brand. The people he loses don't jump ship, they just drop pro wrestling outright.
>>20643914>>20643927>>20643934>B-but WWEPathetic
>>20643899the big ones for me:of their big draws, kenny and jericho are aging out of being able to carry a brandthey still have moxley but nobody is really itching for another moxley reign just yetpunk leaving was a huge blowhangman is complete ratings poisonthey're starting to pick themselves out of the mud a tiny bit as these things get resolved - jericho isn't doing an insufferable gimmick and isn't as fat anymore, kenny found the stapler, moxley is locked in, punk's shadow is in the rear view, and hangman is off tv
>>20643899>>20643907>>20645423>>20645140>>20645436>>20645441So how's your sex life?
>>20643899Man... Those threads were cancer but I miss seeing that image format for ratings. Fuck Tiny Faggot KWAB for shutting them down
>>2064389941%
>>20643914Raw and Smackdown will still exist in 2027. Dynamite and Collision won't.
>>20643914and boom goes the dynamite Raw and Smackdown lost 50% of viewers in less than a year btw
>>20643927wake that up
>>20643899>covidit's an obese killer
>>20643927TRUTH NUKE
>>20647197KILL SHOT
>>20643899They just got raped and raped by the wrestling school
The guy who ran showbuzzdaily retired and said AEW trannies were annoying
>>20643899Pro wrestling is unironically dying across the board and the tards in this thread are still console warring.
People saw the average AEW fan and didn't want to be associated with those degenerate lowlives.
>>20651617/thread
>>20643899>How did AEW lose more than half of their audience?Uh cause they fucking suck?!
The kind of wrestling of that’s fun to watch a couple times a year on dvd or iPPV doesn’t translate to weekly television.
>>20652580AEW does fucking suck
>>20651599Good. Smarks killed it.
>>20651599Afraid not fatso. AEW is dying.
Punk and Cody left and took their dimes with them.
>>20651617KEK this part is so true. Even if you start to get into the shows, you eventually come across these people and it immediately turns you off from AEW

>>20643899Tony R Khan
>>20651599>Pro wrestling is unironically dying across the boardNo it isn't. Literally only AEW is fucked.
>>20657409So. Much. This.
>>20643914>>20643927Raw lost that much and still rapes AEW? KWACB!!!!PS: NXT is raping AEW weekly
>>20643899If I had to guess their main base is trannies so they offed themselves
>>20643899People only tuned in at first out of curiosity but since what they saw wasn't any good they soon tuned out.
>>2064389941% ...ack'd. The rest realized uncharismatic trannies, faggots and groomers botching while doing ballet isn't compelling television and stopped watching.
>>20660508Folks.
>>20643899Now only boomers watch
>>20643899I really wanted to give it a chance. Bought a few PPVs early on. But I remember this goofy woman ref ruining the first world title match (Jericho vs Page I think) and already seeing problems.Then Dynamite came. The wrestling style is insufferable and exhausting. I checked out after a few weeks. Occasionally bought a few more PPVs when nothing was going on (Moxley's first title win, Punk's return). But it was pretty much the same.Private equity is killing WWE with womeme revolution, 4 matches on PPVs full of ads, 20 minute karaoke sessions on weekly shows overseas, coconut soap opera, etc.Dynamite is more in line with what I'd expect from a weekly show. A good match of matches promos and stories. They have the pieces. Tony seems like a cool enough guy trying to make it work. But the wrestling style is just unwatchable and their cult fanbase is insufferable so I can never stick to it for more than the occasional watch when channel flipping.
>>20643899I watched the first month and saw it was PWG self indulgent indie slop and forgot about it.
>>20661756Please come back
>>20645449>immediately talks about degeneracy typical faggot. you define your life by it don't you? >muh dickis your day to day thought process.
>>20645423There was a period where they looked to be taking all the talented cruiserweights from WWE and it reminded me a bit of when WCW allowed their midcard to get gutted by the WWE.Then everyone just returned to the WWE and AEW lost all their momentum.
>>20645441seems accurate, I hate punk and like hangman but as far as general ratings go you're prolly right.
>>20643927THATPART.
>>20643899Why did you not lose your virginity?
>>20643899You got him (>>20662551 >>20662556) really riled up with this one OP.

>>20643899AEW pushed leftists politics over prowrestling and drove 50% of the population away. As simple as.
>>2067143341% an hero as well xister
>>20669761throttling the release of Nielsen ratings worked temporarily
>>20671440Did it though? Sure No Milly Thursdays are a thing of the past but Tony pissed off our board, now instead of one confined day a week to shit on AEW we shit on AEW every single day
>>20671449Lmfao
>>20643899Ask someone else
>>20643899Rony has yet to make one star
>>20643899They hired Dave Meltzer has a head booker
>>20673542Grim
>>20643899What a YouTube fed.
>>20674552Is being relegated to Tubi better or worse than being relegated to YouTube?
>>20674570Tubi is worse
>>20643899Suicide
>>20671449>now instead of one confined day a week to shit on AEW we shit on AEW every single daySame thought process behind giving fags a month to get their homo shit out of their system and then disappear
>>20671440He needs to get his dad to just buy Nielsen
>>20676639Dimes
>>20643899The tv landscape changed
He catered to Meltzer and a cripple from Ireland, what did you expect?
>>20659355Boom goes the dynamite
>>20679224Dave Meltzer is a dipshit
>>20679224Tony called his cell phone during a live show and he fwd him to vmHow pissed was Tony you think?
>>20643927that part.
>>20643927Punk won Snowing Punk choke out Jungle Boy in a shoot was the last time I watched anything on TBS KEK
>>20681367Based Meltz
>>20643899Just watch 30 seconds and you'll understand
>>20679224Lol it be exactly like this
>>20643899Aew is simply dogshit.>Dimeless ToniTanked it>Gay Devil angleSank it>Dean RidersGaped it>Darby SmallinRaped it
>>20682459/thread
>>20643899Look how beautiful the ratings charts were. This is what Tony took away from us.
Horsesha isn't a draw it seems
>>20643899Hmmmmmmm I wonder
>>20643899It's just a really bad wrestling show
>>20684343Look at the crowd lol
>>20643899I don't know.
>>20687680What crowd?
>>20681406Gotta love the punkster
>>20643899>Showbuzz daily charts>ratings threads>i...its a marathon not a sprintholy fuckin sovl
>>20643899>How did AEW lose more than half of their audience?fake fans
>>20643899Crazy how NXT went from 800k to 600k while AEW went from 1.4 million to 550k
>>206438991.4 million people were willing to check out AEW. immediately saw a boring 20 minute match with no stakes and clicked off kek.
>>20643914Raw has not lost 90% since 2019.
For educated people live television doesn't hold the same appeal, so we're just more likely to watch Dynamite or Collision after the between episodes of prestige television.
>>20690490AEW trannies like yourself can't afford $10 tickets to Trannymite or Transition.
>>20643914The addition of 400 television channels and the invention of internet streaming
>>20691300This. So much this.
