"AEW's in trouble." - Wrestling Observer Radio
>>21216384>Tony on his way to WOR after hearing this
So...TNA?
>>21216398Kek has to be
>>21216396
>>21216384Big Tunes Billy is calling out AEW
>>21216384Nobody watches aew
>>21216425And that's why they're in trouble
>>21216384Ngl bros, im getting a bit worried. These stories are becoming more frequent and even Meltzer has changed his language towards AEW staying with WBD
>>21216407
>>21216384Nick > DaveDave is always wrong about everything
>>212163848 more days, bros. 8 fucking more days and with each passing day, Nicky looks more and more like the prophet the Nicker lovers always knew he was
>>21216462I think the biggest thing for me has been WWE's attitude towards them. Only just a few years ago they were keeping everyone they could locked down to these big contracts to counteract the money Tony could offer them to go to AEW. Now? They don't seem like they could give a shit less. They're reducing those deals they signed people to, they're letting people walk entirely. They no longer not only don't seem worried but they don't even seem concerned about people jumping over there. They're also turning down names trying to jump from AEW to WWE as well. Tells me there's information they know that we don't yet
So this is why he (the singular AEW chom) has been shitting himself all month
>>21216464This fucking guy gets me every time
>>21216384Fuck off shit lord, we have a Tubi deal now
>>21216384yeah the only wrestling promotion that has ratings up YOY is in big trouble
>>21216384TROUBLE TROUBLEFOR TRANNIES
>>21216509That's so true. Kofi and Xavier seemed like WWE lifers. They tried to lower their pay and didn't care to stop them at all when they went to AEW instead. It doesn't bother WWE at all.
>>21216606>ratings up YOYLMFAO>It's a GOOD THING that AEW was doing 300k last year!
>>21216748Because they're both well passed their prime. Tony's a mark though so he's over paying for them.
>>21216774It's far from just Kofi and Woods though. Ciampa. Dragunov. There's been a handful that WWE has just happily let walk that they never would have even just 2 or 3 years ago
>>21216793They're all washed or midgets.
>>21216830Dragunov was alright before his injury then he can back with that dimeless neck tattoo and I just couldn't take him seriously anymore
>>21216509They got Cody and Punk. Those were the two ex WWE safety pins attached to AEW, that needed to be plucked. They were the most anti-WWE, former WWE guys on the AEW roster, who had a bunch of underlings they could sway to jump, like Ricky, Jade, Pillman, Malakai, FTR. I'm gonna assume WWE thought if they could get Cody, they could also get MJF to jump. Thing is, AEW/Tony KWAB'd themselves even more by the way handled the Punk fallout. After losing Cody and Punk, that whole stretch turned AEW into a major joke they're only just making a start of recovering from 3-4 years later.
>>21216384AEW is red hot while WWE is dying by all metrics, if anything, they will drop the Fed like piece of trash it is
Ellison would side with Ari over Tony 10 times out of 10
There's another quote>On the other hand, others within pro wresting have been more positive about AEW's post-merger future, with it being talked about that AEW special events could air on CBS. >"They'll probably get something somewhere because the reality is their television stuff is strong enough that they'll get something somewhere... But I mean, again, David Ellison and Tony Khan know each other from the NFL. I know that they've talked. Tony has clearly been very optimistic about, number one, getting this show in more homes due to getting on Paramount+, getting more backing. He has not talked about the potential of CBS but other people in the business have talked about the potential of CBS for a special or something, a one-time deal like UFC gets. And the idea of buying the pay-per-views like they do with UFC which guarantees AEW the money and will put the pay-per-views in way more homes, so a lot more people will be watching it, which is probably better in the long run. There are people who believe that WWE benefited greatly by these pay-per-views not being a high-cost thing and more people watching it, and therefore it helps everything because far more people are watching the bigger shows than have ever watched them before, especially now that they’re on Netflix worldwide."
>>21216897Kek this is the Dave cope portion
>even the biggest AEW (alive) shills are getting scared nowOH NO NO NO
>>21216897>>21216902Kek>It's good that AEW lost their TV deal!
No one said the revolution was going to be. AEW always comes out the other end of the fire stronger.
>>21216384I am so ready for Gayew cancellation day. Such Joy. It will be like Christmas. Then we’ll start to hear all the real bullshit that went on behind the scenes there. I’m sure we haven’t heard the half of it.
>>21216938>It will be like ChristmasWell yeah we’ve seen how edrones have spent the last 5 Christmases talking about AEW on the internet while their families enjoy life without them
>>21216938I'm betting max and mjf will talk the most
>>21216384E-chad hereI'm gonna show the GayEWfags on here the respect that many of them refused to give when that bullshit ESPN contract non-renewal story broke:This is all just hearsay and speculation at this point, and as much as I'd laugh my ass off at GayEW getting canceled if it happens, I don't see that happening anytime soonFor fuck's sake, how many times did we all think TNA was done? Yet they're still here
>>21216950Your favorite pig is dead and you are a very cheap imitation, Cucky. Nobody cares about you.
>>21216464this guy pops me every fucking time. I don't care if I've seen him 500 times now.
>>21216884Jews together strong
>>21216384This can't be happening to us why the fuck do the Epstein Trump Emanuel pedo class always win. What did Tony Khan ever do to hurt anybody.
>>21216960>Nobody cares about you.Merry Christmas!Signed: the mirror
>the AEW cult makes shit up relentlessly about ESPN and Netflix being unhappy and wanting to cancel them>their show is the one that ends up getting kicked off their networkI would feel bad for them if they didn't deserve every single bad thing that befalls them
>>21216976Wow. Good one, Cucky. Anyway, what you hiding?
While I enjoy seeing AEW fail, as a NJPW watcher I need them to limp on and keep all their shitters and horrible fans away from the show i watch
>>21216992It always backfires on them. God hates those wretched queers. That’s why he finally had enough and smighted that crippled bitch piggy for good. Now all of Gayew is next.
>>21217003NJPW should partner with WWE. Worked out amazingly for AAA, and all the AEW fans will act like it's terrible.
cant wait for this thread to reach the bump limit and absolutely nothing happens LMAO
>>21216994Looks like Cucky didn’t want to respond to this one.
>>21217027You seem bothered by it
>>21217003Nobody watches your Indy fed, weeb faggot
>>21217039Didn’t respond to this one either. That shows it’s over the target.
>>21217073And I want to keep it that way
>>21216509As a business, only a few people a real draws in the company. The rest of them aren't unfortunately. Yes we like them as fans, but as stars who move the needle there are very few real draws there. You really only need the people who move 80% of merch revenue, the people who sell live show tickets and that's it. Aew failed miserably at the business of wrestling, and that's why wwe/tko can ignore them now. At the end of day anon, business is about making a profit
>>21216384Damn i'm hoping leakGOD drops the episode quickola
>>21217109What post did you read? I'm not questioning anyone's value or lack thereof but more so noting WWE's major shift in attitude in regard to retaining talent and keeping them away from AEW
>>21216467Nick miss status?
>>21217154HE DON’T
>>21216509They continuously counter program them, they care very much about them
>>21217163With AAA and NXT...so what? It's business. Tony said he was ready for it and wasn't gonna take any shit cuz he had more money than Crockett years ago. Where is that same energy? Why does he just take it now?
>>21217163WWE hurting AEW's business is a different point than WWE being worried about AEW hurting theirs
>>21217163It's not counter programming when your show is the more watched brand.
>>21216994>>21217039>>21217087you are mentally ill
>One of the major changes to the ratings system was an extra emphasis on Hispanic viewers https://youtu.be/YmbBBNaScNU?si=4w4ySy5MiXJ6V_zt&t=379Get ready to learn Espanol hermanos.
>>21216950AEW fans are all atheist troons who will jump off a bridge during Christmas when AEW is cancelled kek
>>21217216Half the promos on Raw last night were in spanish. It's already begun. I think they even changed the men's MITB plans to add Penta in last minute and give him the briefcase after last Monday's showing
>>21217225>during Christmas when AEW is cancelledI don't know if AEW will be canceled ON Christmas, but it damn sure will be Christmas for us when it is
>>21216384
>>21216763why ya cryin, bitchtits? no ratings up YOY?
>>21217541Oh dear
>AEW confirmed to be losing the tv deal>Raw just did 3.1 millyIt is oh so good to be an e-god!!!!
>>21217580>up YOUUp from what? What were AEW's ratings last year? Tell us. Specifically what number did AEW get for it's December 24th, 2025 edition of Dynamite? Surely it charted right?
>>21217623He had nothing for this
>>21217193You are a Cuck. What you hiding, Cucky?
>>21216606>All In 2023 Attendance: 72,265>All In 2026 Attendance: 41,102You don't know what year over year means, retard.
>>21216384Can't believe this nigga actually went over in the end. Damn...
>>21216384Oh, so this is why piggy is freaking out and spamming his tarp threads again.
>>21217163>AEW runs it's version of Wrestlemania>WWE makes up a PPV for NXT or AAA the same week>AEW loses to a show with green horns and Mexican'ts
>>21216509Thank you for the pro-wrestling report from Planet Retard. Please send push notifications when WWE cares so little that they stop sacrificing AAA and NXT by counter-programming AEW and failing miserably at it.
>>21216845>Dragunov was alright before his injury then he can back with that dimeless neck tattoo and I just couldn't take him seriously anymoreI legit thought you were talking about Cody and I had been in coma since Leap Year 2020.
>>21218158>they stop sacrificing AAA and NXTListen to yourself you faggot. Oh no. WWE has to ""sacrifice"" it's developmental and free to watch youtube lucha show while AEW runs its biggest PPVs against them. How ever will WWE recover?!??!
>>21216384Grim
>>21218110THAT PART
>>21218096HOLY BASED
>>21218096So he's getting a double victory this year?
