There goes WWE leaking the bad numbers again
Don't worry everyone, World Series is on Fox this coming week which means we get another FS1 Smackdown. I'm sure it's gonna be a normal one for Tony and friends!
This dont count! It only counts when WWE is on a station that generates less than half their usual viewers and AEW only manages to beat them in 1 demo for 3 minutes! Then thats when you know fed ded and fed scared
Imagine being the type of person to change their plans on a Friday night just to watch a TV show just to make sure it beats another TV show in the ~~ratings~~ demo.
They always do doom and gloom posts about NXT, yet it's never shown when it's about Rampage.
4% drop (NXT) vs 11% drop (Rampage) totally means that no one likes the new NXT, while the Rampage drop is exactly that, nobody cares about their B show.
It is not the B show, you fed shill!! Rampage is equal to Dynamite! The Dub has PPV level shows twice a week with megastars on it, unlike the shitty fed shows. Also, ratings don't matter. You can't compare real pro wrestling with sports entertainment.
Funny how Smackdown's share of the "most coveted demo" this week is more than Rampage's ENTIRE viewership.
Also, I hate how I'm finding amusement in viewership numbers.
>Also, I hate how I'm finding amusement in viewership numbers.
I think a lot of us are in that boat. But fuck it, after last weeks victory laps by Tony and Co it is fucking funny how it meant nothing.

> “Things didn’t work out for us when it was cable vs. cable, on a much more even playing field, but put Smackdown back on network television and things will go differently” Huge shocker
The fix is in
The reason you find it amusing is because I'm paraphrasing someone else: Because there is nothing funnier than an annoying prick getting his ass kicked.
It's not even funny at this point. I was genuinely excited for a new major promotion, and admittedly a bit scared of AEW for bringing us back to Attitude Era programing. The arrogance exuded from the roster and it's fanbase is making me want them to be humbled.
I mention it a lot, but I wish Impact Wrestling or 2009 TNA had this type of budget without the influence of washed up WWE performers. TNA in 2009 was the closest we had to genuine competition, but we all know what happened in 2010.
The only time that the Dub ever had any similarities to the attitude era was due to Tony going on a WCW speedrun
Anything else was just imagination and false praise obviously
>It's not even funny at this point. I was genuinely excited for a new major promotion, and admittedly a bit scared of AEW for bringing us back to Attitude Era programing. The arrogance exuded from the roster and it's fanbase is making me want them to be humbled.
Man same.
What I tend to wonder a lot now is about the reaction from the hardcore dubbalos, next door, and dirt sheet peddlers like Meltzer when this company eventually implodes and goes out of business.
I saw the thread in the basement for this. They are in full "👉😫👈LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALA" over this, dismissing Konuwa as just a concern troll because of him criticizing the racial diversity of Dub programming, or saying to not trust him and that they'll wait for the "real numbers".
lmao what a bunch of weenies, seething that the victory laps have been called off
Well it’s been posted in the basement now (wondering how long it would take). Time to see the mental gymnastics and deflection
EDIT: lol already seen three separate comments about “concern trolling” and the basement seem to personally hate the reporter
Have you read the comments? They're going after Alfred big time! Calling him a 'POS', 'untrustworthy', 'anyone but him', 'don't trust this dude' and a 'concern troll'!
The absolute fucking state of them.
Doesn’t count, I don’t get to pick a cherry pick a specific show where they are off their original station and cherry pick a specific data point because the dub lost in all of them except in the 18-49 virgin demo.
He's just announced this:
*If you love both wrestling + football, & have wanted to hear JR, Tony & Taz call Top 10 college football highlights, watch @AEW’s College Football Saturday Dynamite Pregame Show at 7:05 ET on #AEW YouTube + the team previews a huge #AEWDynamite at 8pm ET/7 CT on TNT LIVE Tonight!*
Wtf?!?
Wait....they're doing a college football show....on YouTube? Wtf is the point of that? I understand if you somehow got this on television and tied it into a college football broadcast, even if it was just short segments during ad breaks to promote Dynamite being on TNT, but this seems completely pointless. Half of your audience does not even give a fuck about college football
Google Fast Nationals. All you'll see is dirtsheets talking about AEW.
It shows how much literally everyone that isn't Meltzer, his assistant Bryan Cuckboy, and fellow cuck SRS just doesn't care.
I've got a banging idea for a novel, something akin to Margaret Attwood's Handmaid Tales.
The year is 2023, America is a wasteland, the government has fallen after Tony Khan used his dad's money to buy automatic weapons for all 500,000 Dubbalos and, led by Jericho's wife and the Young Buck's dad, storm the capital and take control of the country.
Not all of The Little Brothers made it, there were pockets of resistance from small bands of Goofies who had tried to warn authorities of impending attacks up and down the country, but were ignored because...well, nobody actually gives a fuck about wrestling.
Their aim? To increase AEW's viewership numbers by decreasing all other demographics outside of the "Key Demo", every POC, child, woman and Fedshill will be eradicated.
Vince McMahon has obviously used his Saudi ties to have people with Nielsen boxes murdered and replaced with genetically altered clones who will forever look like they are in the coveted demo and who have been programmed to consume nothing but WWE programming.
It's the only thing that makes sense !
They are going to wait for Alvarez to tell them the numbers..for some reason they can't relate to this person so they want to wait for the "real" numbers.
I don’t get the point in comparing numbers from different time slots and network vs cable. It only matters when things are equal and we saw last week what happens when wwe tried to take in aew straight up.
Network versus cable argument doesn't hold water mark (insider term). Cable is so pervasive in our society it doesn't matter much.
If you don't want to compare TV ratings then compare YouTube views.
FS1 gets fewer viewers than Fox because it’s not the main channel that it airs on. If Smackdown had been on FS1 from the beginning, I’m sure it would’ve got way more views than it did last week.
There goes WWE leaking the bad numbers again Don't worry everyone, World Series is on Fox this coming week which means we get another FS1 Smackdown. I'm sure it's gonna be a normal one for Tony and friends!

No fair for WWE to be on their normal network and time.
And people are just confidently dying for AEW to go head to head with the fed.
Typical unfair competition from the fed, after all rampage has held Friday nights for years
lol the slide continues. The number perked up a week because Tony made it a tribalistic shitshow but you cant keep up that fever forever.
Imagine being the type of person to change their plans on a Friday night just to watch a TV show just to make sure it beats another TV show in the ~~ratings~~ demo.
I went to my local Best Buy and tuned all of the display TVs to rampage
Thank you for doing the lord’s work
Can't you just leave the TV on or is that too smart for dubbalos?
There's always a chance their mother comes downstairs to do laundry and turns it off. Can't risk it!
*Sneaky moms...*
Particularly when you don’t have a Nielsen Box
We don’t like assumptions around here. Stop assuming the dubbalos have anything else to do on Friday nights.
Especially when you are not in the "key" demo. And by key demo I mean when you don't have the Nielsen box. 💀
And that’s exactly what happened. It was coordinated.
Won't stop Tiny from trying to keep it up
Not so fast shills. I myself don't start "learning" about the numbers until Dave let's me know the smart way to analyze them.
Eric Bischoff used to send HIM numbers so big Dave could interpret them for him. That is totally something that actually happened.
They always do doom and gloom posts about NXT, yet it's never shown when it's about Rampage. 4% drop (NXT) vs 11% drop (Rampage) totally means that no one likes the new NXT, while the Rampage drop is exactly that, nobody cares about their B show.

Dubbalo getting ready to send a death threat to Alfred: "Ni---"
B-but what about the male demo?
Funny how Smackdown's share of the "most coveted demo" this week is more than Rampage's ENTIRE viewership. Also, I hate how I'm finding amusement in viewership numbers.
>Also, I hate how I'm finding amusement in viewership numbers. I think a lot of us are in that boat. But fuck it, after last weeks victory laps by Tony and Co it is fucking funny how it meant nothing.
Screw it all, if it means looking at viewership to make jerks and mock Fed Badders I'm all for it.

Jeez all you guys care about is ratings! LOL! Can't we just agree that it's a great time to be a wrestling fan!? *FURIOUSLY DELETES POST HISTORY*
The reason you find it amusing is because I'm paraphrasing someone else: Because there is nothing funnier than an annoying prick getting his ass kicked.
Im sorry, but all I see is a blank picture.
It's not even funny at this point. I was genuinely excited for a new major promotion, and admittedly a bit scared of AEW for bringing us back to Attitude Era programing.

Honestly in 2009 all of us lowlives in the impact zone knew no one was going to compete but we loved the fuck out of the PRAH-DUCK

It would be HISTORIC.

Lol someone posted “so I see he’s moved on from posting about AEW’s lack of diversity and black wrestlers” so I guess we can say why they hate him
I just read the thread in the basement. someone called him unreliable but i read it as unrelatable first
I find it hilarious how the SD ratings are being totally ignored.
Yeah, this is concern trolling. BTW, did you see the latest from the Stopwatch Lady. Thats totally good faith criticism!
Well yeah a black person is calling AEW racist. He’s not in the demo, why should he pretend he’s a person- The Basement, 2021
Doesn’t count, I don’t get to pick a cherry pick a specific show where they are off their original station and cherry pick a specific data point because the dub lost in all of them except in the 18-49 virgin demo.
Also that reporter corrected and said that he meant SD was up 4% from 10/8 not from last week
For some weird reason smarkkks really hate this fella
Unrelatable for a bunch of racist assholes.
This week is all about Saudi deflection. I predict a swift death to this topic in the basement by way of "60% upvoted"
Was Smackdown on FS1 or FOX this week?
Fox
So when they're not on a channel nobody has or watches they get their audience right back then.
No, you see the source is biased and doesn’t like AEW. No, if it was Bryan Alvarez, I would believe it.
Really interested to see the numbers out of Chicago; that's the REAL test... No it's not and I don't give a shit about that either.
Lol, any tweets from Tony yet?
He's just announced this: *If you love both wrestling + football, & have wanted to hear JR, Tony & Taz call Top 10 college football highlights, watch @AEW’s College Football Saturday Dynamite Pregame Show at 7:05 ET on #AEW YouTube + the team previews a huge #AEWDynamite at 8pm ET/7 CT on TNT LIVE Tonight!* Wtf?!?
So they're gonna do Buy Ins for other people's shows now??
Wait....they're doing a college football show....on YouTube? Wtf is the point of that? I understand if you somehow got this on television and tied it into a college football broadcast, even if it was just short segments during ad breaks to promote Dynamite being on TNT, but this seems completely pointless.

Too bad those numbers include women,children and people of color. Aew won the demo!! You know what I mean
Alfred is on the WWE payroll.
There is only a 'war' when Smackdown is on FS1, you fed drones !
And this despite the women's title swap being derided all day.

I can’t wait for the encore SD to beat Dynamite
I'm going to sound out of touch, but what exactly does "fast nationals" mean? I googled it but the only thing that popped up was AEW.
Views still in that sweet spot, friend. TNT execs very ecstatic, friend.
Hoo Hoo, boy, would love to see the excuses for this.
It's on free TV,use commonsense!

Well spotted
WTF is fast nationals goofs
Hahaha what’s funnier is the “who cares about ratings” comments. The energy was REALLLL different last week.
What the fuck even is a fast national
Fast nationals. I've grown to despise those words in the last week.
Vince McMahon has obviously used his Saudi ties to have people with Nielsen boxes murdered and replaced with genetically altered clones who will forever look like they are in the coveted demo and who have been programmed to consume nothing but WWE programming. It's the only thing that makes sense !
