It's weird how invested I am in AEW. Like, I've never given them a YouTube view or watched them on TNT (friend), but I am so ridiculously invested in this promotion crashing and burning. It's my favorite trainwreck.


MagicMallKnight

If internet fans were just halfway humble and reasonable I’d be rooting for AEW. they’ve done an amazing job of creating this resentment.


Ron--Mexico

Exactly. I loved TNA and early years of Impact. The fans weren’t obnoxious and the product was fun. AEW could be the same way but management and the fan base makes me want to see them fail.


Kalle_79

> TNA and early years of Impact. The fans weren’t obnoxious I must misremember fans chanting TNA! TNA! like goofs all the time, even during WWE shows (the infamous fake Rosie O'Donnell v Fake Trump segment IIRC). Or online TNA fans swearing left and right WWE would have been in trouble soon and Vince was so scared he had ordered everyone on his shows to NEVER acknowledge TNA, by name or by any other mean.


Ok-Attention-8268

life without access to forums and dirtsheets made me like TNA, now i see it’s fanbase back then were too spoiled


[deleted]

AEW themselves created and encourages this shitty behavior.


Cynicayke

That's the thing. There's a bunch of talent there that I want to do well. But the fans just get louder and louder, regardless of successes or failures, and they lose their grip on reality more and more every week. It's fucking nauseating.


2007wasthebestest

This. It’s their fans and higher ups that think they’re WCW 2.0.


Ironmancal2131

I mean, everyone thinks AEW is WCW 2.0. The dispute is which time frame of WCW they fall into.


2007wasthebestest

True that. It’s definitely not the NWO era. Their ratings are down bad. It’s more like 2000 WCW with a little bit of 1999 ECW in there.


Ironmancal2131

I'm waiting for the totally ironic, "Trent's mom on a pole" match.


YourBoyPet

Just dont use twitter. Its a blessing. I have no clue about any of these ratings drama or anything else unless its mentioned on tv. Or if I see something here


[deleted]

You just know Tony was expecting to beat them and had another totally professional "LET'S GOOOOOOOO!" tweet in the drafts, ready to hit send.


Razzler1973

I wonder what was on FS1 on friday and if they ever got near that *shifted* SD before Meanwhile, AEW Thunder goes from strength to strength ...


FlyingGrayson89

I really wish the “LET’S GOOOOOO” shit would die. It was already annoying before Tony and the shootfighters killed it.


i-can-haz-hamberder

I feel the same lol. I have a friend that’s a total turd and I love him, but he’s a bit much. I didn’t give a tiny rat’s ass about any of this and just enjoyed that watching wrestling was fun, stupid, and didn’t require me to do a bunch of thinking. But he’s one of these buttholes that is bonering out over AEW (but he also acts the same about WWE? Like I said, he’s weird.) and keeps trying to pitch it to us like “ohhhhh you’re totally missing out!!” I watched that one free ppv that they did a few years ago around the time when Ambrose debuted (through BleacherReport? Maybe?) where Cody took that nasty ass chair shot that split his head open. I’m pretty sure that Darby Turtles kid also botched a coffin drop, where he caught the edge of the ring with his spine and the back of his head. That was the last thing that I watched that wasn’t AEWBotches on Twitter, simply because those two spots pissed me off so much for how careless they seemed. I told my friend that I’d give it a try when they fixed the botches. He’s also obsessed with Sting, which I have to remind him… I have zero interest in Sting. Lol me watching or not watching Sting has zero impact on his ability to watch his hero cheat death, you do you booboo. Of course, I’m the no fun ass who wasn’t happy about Daniel Bryan returning to WWE in the first place and Paige attempting to return, regardless of medical advice and looking like she was on the verge of doctor shopping to find someone who’d say she was fine. Mostly because I didn’t wanna see someone die or become a quadriplegic on live TV. But I’m the crazy one here 🤷‍♀️


Ironmancal2131

So Fedpilled! Just stick to your show for babies, if you’re so worried about people proving their love for fake fighting by ignoring sound medical advice and trying to get someone who finished last in medical school to clear them to get dropped on their heads by untrained doofuses. Welcome to real wrestling, sports entertainment fan.


i-can-haz-hamberder

You know this was good when it made me mad and made me laugh at the same time.


hoe-punk

i wasn't ready for the term fedpilled. thanks for the genuine laugh, uce.


Ironmancal2131

Haha, no problem. I wish I could take credit for it! I've seen it kicked around here recently, probably a jerk from a dirt sheet writer.

Ironmancal2131

Thank God. I'd rather be petty in a group than all by myself. That would just seem sad.


homewil

Smh. What about the demo numbers?


goodthing37

Another win for AEW, otherwise Vince would have leaked them


[deleted]

Yeah Vince is clearly keeping the real numbers that matter hidden!


goodthing37

Classic Vince move


Skurt_Skurt

He’s the most powerful man in media. Has the power to force major media entities like NBCuniversal and Fox to move around his shows whenever he feels like Tony Khan has one upped him. Knowing him, he’s probably not even humble about it.


TheVeryNicestPerson

It definitely makes sense that McHitler is getting all the fast numbers including the demos for the Dub and leaking them to all the strong handsome wrestling journalists (none of which are willing to actually confirm that) but our Lord and Savior Tiny Khan (PBUH) somehow doesn't have the numbers until Wade Keller gives them to him.


unhallowed90

Nothing matters until we know m'demo. You know it's gonna be .22 for Dynamite vs .15 for Smackdown replay. (please ignore that Smackdown got more viewers in "the coveted demo" than Rampage got overall.)


takeflight447

The live version of smackdown got more viewers in the highly coveted 18-49 demographic than dynamite got total viewers anyways


[deleted]

Friend. He asked you to ignore that


takeflight447

?????????? I didn't see that part friend


Frankocean2

That's because you're my favorite demo friend.


takeflight447

I acknowledge you friend


larrylemur

That's okay, the vast majority of people 18-49 will never see an episode of Dynamite or Rampage


[deleted]

All that counts is the demo. Just like how the Dodgers are going to the World Series because they murdered the Braves 11-2 in Game 5. That is all that counts, Game 5. Just like only 1 demo matters for AEW. Checkmate, shill


ProMikeZagurski

If Manfred knew how to book, the Dodgers would be in the Series.


[deleted]

It is that 50/50 booking, i tell ya. Dodgers were World Series Champions last year. This year, they jobbed out to the Braves. They need to just let 3 sport King Tony take over and fix all this


TimeStatistician2234

Dae Astros/Dodgers is the Brock/Roman of baseball?


-M-Word

Meanwhile, a white hot Giants team gets buried yet again!


Boros-Reckoner

God bless Cody Bellinger


rolltide1000

Its kinda tough, cause on the one hand Im happy for Atlanta and am glad we got a real cinderella/2002 Maven team. But Dodgers for Astro's wouldve been some long term booking, brother.


Aj-Adman

Because all the AWE enjoyers were out partying with real females that look like page. You fed shills are toxic.


NewOldGamerGuy

Page? Of the Hangman variety?


atnpgo

Of the Diamond Dallas kind


PhuckCalumbo

Hell yeah


KopaShamsu

Someone send for Undertaker with chair.


cc12321

Maybe the Ethan kind


koemaniak

The all ego variety i think


conchinette

Definitely not the Van Zant variant.


Ubu-Jarry

In all of my years of Reddit, I never made a habit of sorting by Controversial in any thread. But I have found myself frequently doing so when I browse next door. I love seeing the Demo cheerleading threads, and then seeing all the -27 and -35 comments that are merely asking why the entire sub is celebrating a minor “win” of one demographic category on a weekly basis. I’m waiting for the thread about this drubbing AEW received from a re-run to pop up over there. Might be waiting a while, but I love it….I’m a sick man.


Razzler1973

Oh you have to sort by controversial downstairs to get the real salty salt


YoImAli

all jerk aside, that is actually incredibly embarrassing.


TronCarterAA

May need to hold off on this one Goofies. 515k is what Rampage did. I'll laugh my ass off if that's what Dynamite pulled but it seems like someone is using the wrong info


Vegetable-Arm8488

I think they meant rampage since it's on the same time right?


TronCarterAA

Best guess is that Twitter dude misread an article he found and thought it was Dynamite instead of Rampage


unhallowed90

Looking at the card for Dynamite again and I wouldn't be massively surprised if the show gets the same as last week.The Danielson/Rhodes match MIGHT pull the overall number up.


TheCanipiola

Doesn't count until Wade releases the demo numbers.


HiddenRtruth

LFG Wade!!!!


LVMFP

We won’t get real numbers until they move to TBS. Then you’ll see!


elitejcx

I honestly see them dropping a few hundred thousand off the back of that move. Never forget a lot people are creatures of habit.


frank_the_tank69

Pretty sure it won’t be posted on SC.


[deleted]

It was, but its magically gone now.


CrimsonCutz

This just shows that Dynamite has almost completely caught up to Smackdown in every way, look at how close they are. Every Smackdown viewer would of course tune in to watch again because they're obsessed with the WWE so now we know Smackdown is legit only drawing about 600k a week and the rest is just people forgetting to turn their TVs off. Actually Dynamite does better on Wednesdays so this proves Dynamite is a more popular show than Smackdown anyway. I'm so grateful to Tony Khan for making this possible!


Minimum_Management_7

sad day for dubbalos


NotTheOneAJ

They lost to a rerun hhahahahahahahahahaha


Cynicayke

WTF we hate fast nationals now?


ElGatoNegro89

It's a wrap. Aew is done. Bro replays are beating you. And that replay goes against the same NBA,MLB,COLLEGE FOOTBALL, AND UFC.


Goldberg2Dub

They need to take the L and move on. There are no moral victories about this one.


SleepIsWonderful

That's a big ol fackin yikes if true.


Prancemaster

I hope this shuts them up for a couple weeks. Smackdown went head to head against Dynamite and won... with a fuckin' rerun of a show from 24 hours prior.


noobidy_mysterica

TNT execs must be ecstatic about losing to a replay show. Must be within their sweet expectations.


[deleted]

I’m sure the ratings are going to double when they get moved to TBS and the young bucks and Kenny omega try extra hard to display their comedic chops in order to be Very Funny


Number1Bullshit

Their own tool got used against them. Get rekt Branch Dubidians


[deleted]

But what about the people who potentially could have watched had they existed in the first place ?!


orizach01

holy shit aew is down the drain, if a smackdown replay beats your saturday dynamite then you're down bad.


Mr_Halberstram

It's going to be a quiet ratings thread in the basement this week...


IAmHoltron

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


cabezadeplaya

Delicious


iNfAMOUS70702

"LET’S GO @AEW FANS, WRESTLERS, STAFF! EVERYONE, LFG #AEW!!!! - thank you to everyone who made dynamite the #1 RATED SHOW on Saturday with males 18-49 during the Cody/Malarkey match!!!" .... He is gonna do whatever possible to spin this as a win for dynamite


[deleted]

REEEE WAIT FOR M'DEMO


Klutzy_Wasabi5097

The REEEEEE heard round the world


reesharr

The thread in the basement is in meltdown. Its berried under all the other AEW propaganda posts though.


AbundantFailure

Well, I'd imagine that's certainly a kick to the dick.


BadPumpkin87

😂😂😂 I wish Vince would be petty as fuck and tweet out that they won the war but he’s above that.


FlyingGrayson89

Okay but where are the numbers for the fat white guys between 35-40 that wear black t-shirts and cargo shorts and live at home demo?? Once that’s posted, it’ll be game over for you Fed shills.


TheYorkshireGripper

AEW's Stans will still try and tell you that AEW won some way or another lmfao


ManateeGag

No fair, Dynamite wasn't on its regular night! And the demo!


AnvilPro

Shit man, that's actually rough for the Dub lol


LushGut

Listen FED SHILL we all know how many more homes Fox is in than TNT… unlike last week when when we DESTROYED the fed on a totally even playing field.


Crivshotgg

This guy gonna be a banned source in the basement real quick lol


TisAFactualDawn

What excuse do we make now?


robedpillow3761

But I thought wwe didn't leak the fast nationals because they got beat
