The Ratings Thread - a lot of people watched wrestling on Super Tuesday, sort of

Yeah well CW is in 300 million homes where as TBS is only in 50 million, so based on population AEW won the night.

($11.99 please)

There was also a Rambo marathon on the MGM channel last night so that had to hurt ratings too

It's a bit of a bad look when pretty much every other dirt sheet dude just posts the ratings and largely moves on, while Dave is posting excuses.

Everyone can put together the why...and everyone understands 300m vs 50m homes...but AEW is ingrained as the Wednesday show, not NXT...this has to be viewed as a massive fail

Like seriously Dave? Just let it go. It was a bad night. There is always next week. Shit happens

With that logic he should be on cable news

If it was ever more evident that Dave is on Tonys payroll, that time is now.

I don't know if I believe he's on the payroll, I see it as he knows ppl inside WWE are feeding him lies to report and look bad so he sways towards the fed that doesn't do that...idk maybe I'm naive...just how I see it

My 2 cents is it's one of 2 things and maybe a combo of both,

1. Dave has always been a fan of the Japanese style of wrestling and AEW tries to mimic that so AEW doing good sort of re-inforces his personal beliefs.

2. He is pandering to a fanbase who will buy his stuff

The last point here is probably the real truth. AEW fans are the types of fans who buy his stuff and he knows EXACTLY who they are and how he can alienate them and lose their business, so he treads carefully and puts a positive spin on things that'll hold onto or increase those subs within that group.
