2000-2001 WCW was more watchable than today's WWE.

Well, more people were actually watching it too

That’s weird because neither are WCW in 2000

Really? WCW in its dying days were getting better ratings than WWE today? I don't know much about TV ratings.

Lol this guy. Nobody was even talking about AEW. They are living in your head rent free.

Nitro was low 2's in overall viewers before they shut down. They had 2 episodes of Nitro do 2.6 in 2001.

But aren't those percentages? I mean does a 2.6 in 2001 mean the same thing as a 2.6 in 2021?

Unless you mean 2.6 million viewers, which I don't think you do.

 

[NextBigThing]

TNA was consistently drawing over 1 million viewers. AEW has not proven they can do that.

Is this opinion or fact?

I think 2.6 then was more than it means now, at least thats what Bischoff has said on 83 weeks

Does anyone like Becky Lynch? She’s kinda crap in ring compared to the unstoppable legend in her own time she portrays, and she’s been absolutely insufferable since Nia Jax potatoed her.

Becky's awesome, but once Vince realized she was a thing bigger than Charlotte Flair he decided he needed to be involved in her entire character.

Is this opinion or fact?

Technically a fact but in reality complete bullshit. That was essentially a lifetime ago in terms of TV: streaming, cord cutting and fragmentation of the audience have dramatically reduced ratings. Think of it in these terms: Record sales pre file sharing and record sales today.

100% fact. Hell, TNA at their peak was outdrawing what both RAW and SmackDown draw today. The January 4, 2010 episode of Impact! (head to head on Monday night against RAW) drew 2.2 million. It peaked at 3 million with Hogan's segment. Get back to me when AEW is pulling those numbers.

Someone needs to take a look at the entirety of the TV business back then and now...
