> “WWE really want TNA to become the other promotion because they can control TNA. This is a major full-court press. They just want [Tony Khan] out of the box and they know if the numbers stay good, he’s gonna get a renewal at a much bigger number, just like they did. He’s already very profitable, the number will make him incredibly profitable and they’ll never get away from him or anything like that. So they feel that they need to make sure this is the last contract.”

FUCK YOU WWE! FUCK YOU PAUL LEVESQUE! FUCK YOU EVIL KHAN! FUCK YOU MARK SHAPIRO! ALL FANS OF PRO WRESTLING NEED TO STAND UP AND DESTROY WWE! AND SUPPORT AEW AGAINST THE EVIL EMPIRE!

i think we narrowly avoided piggiE violence after the last Renewal, i don't know if we will be so lucky next time

>>18588335
What the fuck? Is that a restaurant?

Come see a tope suicida and get a torta ahogada too! Kids free with a purchase of a meal! Tequila Tornados DDT's for the adults!

Just shameless lmao
Didn't he JUST report how poor AEW were doing and how likely they are to get cancelled if the trend continues? For fucks sakes man.

>>18588315 (OP)
>and they know if the numbers stay good, he’s gonna get a renewal at a much bigger number

>>18588420
Quite the opposite actually but you are too low iq to understand basic reporting.

Ticket sales do not correlate to tv ratings. No one watches raw on netflix (less than 50k) yet they still sell overpriced tickets to retards because its like the fat retarded homo circus is coming to town.

>>18588447
>blah blah blah schizo jew math
AEW demo is in the toilet

>>18588420
AEW is up across the board

>>18588462
>le demo
So now the demo matters you pig? You spent years squealing how it doesnt'

>>18588459
Yeah and AEW can't sell out a taco bell dining area but are doing 175k+ buys a PPV with millions watching weekly on streaming services.

this is a rib from Meltzer, right?

>>18588315 (OP)
They are trying to solve misteries with a machine who makes everyone's name into a mass pot of people

Why I look like sherlock holmes for telling people apart

>>18588315 (OP)
Reminder Meltzer has zero sources and just makes up his own headcanon.

>>18588315 (OP)
>If the numbers stay good...

LMFAO nobody told Dave?

>>18588480
AEW is down in every metric, pick one

>>18588629
Wtong. Ratings are UP year over year as are ticket sales that why all the swine and faggots at WWE are panicking.

TK should just buy his own network

>>18588470
Kek, is this a real tweet?

>>18588663
maybe up a few percent YOY, I was talking about back when they were mildly relevant (they never really were anything more than a pissant fed but at least they got a milly at one point)

>[WON] WWE is working with NBC to attempt to change the final SNME of the year from 12/13 to 12/27, which was planned to be the Cena retirement show in Boston. 12/27 would be the same date as AEW World's End, however Peacock (also part of NBCU) are already showing an exclusive NFL game on 12/27.
WWE needs to be destryoed. They are the cancer killing pro wrestling. We all need to rally behind Tony Khan

>>18588704
Tony khan kills NJPW
>Lol, eat it nujamals
WWE counter programs some shit AEW show
>please sir no bully
Do you get why AEW leapfrogged WWE as the most hated wrestling company in the world

>>18588315 (OP)
Saying go 2 sleep kills the hypno

Told ya Adrian/adam, Elizabeth etc would try again

>>18588723
Talent that would’ve signed with WWE had AEW not signed them. So they were gone from NJPW regardless.

>>18588437
just like rampage

>>18588796
Bullshit, the fed works you more dates for less money, or at least money tangentially linked to preformance and merch sales. People call signing with AEW the moneymark contract because you work less and are guaranteed more regardless of your drawing power. Also in a world without AEW the fed wouldn't have been hiring as much talent, especially during covid.

>>18588437
>>18588315 (OP)
Whats more likely
>another big money contract for AEW
>Collision gets cancelled

>the fed
It's been over 20 years. Let it go.

#1 on their night drone

http://www.thetvratingsguide.com/2025/08/wednesday-tv-ratings-81325-big-brother.html?m=1
Number 1 in 18-49 demo on cable exclusively, edging out foxnews' Greg gutfeld by .01 in the 18-49 demo while have less than a third of the total audience. Funny how dave never tells you it's a total viewers #1 lol

>>18589549
Edrone go read Kathleen’s article warner wants demo

>>18589717
>anon says they were number 1
>Then you look and see about a half dozen shows that beat them in the demo
>and another dozen shows that have double and triple the viewership.
>then the cope is
>didn't you read this article

Edrones lack serious critical
Thinking

Look edrone do you seee two different sections- there is a reason for that

Notice one section is coloured and one is not

>>18588315 (OP)
>aew, its doing so great
>but if hhh pushes tna its over for aew
wtf meltz

>>18590529
It’s not over for aew. Aew use to get 70 milly a year with tna gitting similar demos Warner will be like why should we pay you 185 and that’s the plan. Whether aew dies or not that will take time reminder this move by wwe can over saturate it’s product and hurt them worse.

For aew it will hurt Tony’s tv deal.
But tony if he goes the ppv route can justify his deal and aslong as he stays around .15.

>the ham-tom of the opera

So I read that quote but then I think "when does AEW Shockwave debut?"

Nobody knows the number but dang is a heckin good number. :shrug:

>>18588315 (OP)
if you competed in an NWA territory back in the day they would send Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair and everyone in their arsenal to compete against the outlaw promotion

>>18588315 (OP)
based, fuck gayew

>and they know if the numbers stay good
Really Dave?

>18588315
>and they know if the numbers stay good

>>18588315 (OP)
Kek Dave is already prepping the AEWtists to blame WWE when AEW goes out of business.

>WWE IS DYING!!!! REJOICE!!!!
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WWE CANT BE BOOKING SHOWS THE SAME DAY AS AEW THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KWAB

>>18588315 (OP)
>WWE
>AEW
Both are evil empire but the irony is WWE is a lesser evil of the two. Tony Khan like it or not end up as an even worse version of Vince/Triple H.

>>18588315 (OP)
>This is a major full-court press.
fucks that mean

>>18589381
Actually we had a #1, two #6s and a #13 as an entree. More sopapillas please!

>>18588315 (OP)
Not good

>>18589549
You think a network isn't going to bid high for a weekly show getting #1 in the demo? You stupid?

>>18589549
Hold up why are leftoids telling me the WNBA is a yuge draw when it's losing to Trannymite

>>18589549
These charts also reveal just how few 18 to 49 year olds watch cable anymore. Wrestling on Monday nights used to have 10.0 demo and infomercials or any random thing would be above .17.

>>18594124
It helps and there is demand for live content but gone are the days when being first in the demo was a difference of millions more viewers than fifth or tenth. A .17 or a .10 both mean relatively small pieces of a pie and the .10 could be most anything else and it wouldn't have the stigma attached to it with advertisers like wrestling does. AEW having spiked bats and screwdriver attacks doesn't help with this.

WWE is evil.

>>18594653
but nobody cares

>>18594653
so is aew but i dont see (you) complaining about it

Why are they doing this and how do we as a community stop them?

>>18588447
This is why Dave Meltzer is getting Mathematicians to send him the best numbers
229,000 that's a number

>>18590490
Why is there a section for coloreds and a section for whites?

We all need to rally behind AEW and support them. Write to WB and tell them not to cancel AEW.

>>18588315 (OP)
If AEW wasn't a threat, Paul wouldn't be constantly counter-programming them.

>>18594129
the WNBA only exists because the NBA subsidizes it, and these bitches still complain that they don't get paid enough

>>18596438
The only ones talking about cancelling AEW are fat schizo retards on the internet. WBD are so happy with it that they just gave Tony a massive pay increase and a streaming deal.

>>18596452
b-but bitchtits said aew was dying

>>18596485
exactly

>>18596506
kek

>>18588470
By Dave's logic that would mean millions of people under 50 are watching Fox News on their streaming service.

>>18596541
False equiveillance drone

>>18596541
They are. How do you think Trump won?

If nobody watches AEW and it doesn't make any money at all, why is WWE scrambling? No need to counterprogram. It's a joke, right? It will be out of business in three years anyways. No new TV deal is on the way. Just let it crumble, then buy it from Tony and shut it down like WCW.

>>18596561
This. Checkmate.

>>18588315 (OP)
WWE is corporate schlop and they're the Disney of Wrestling - sure they make a lot of money but how many people watch it because it's WWE and not because it's good? Probably not too many hardcore fans, just drones.

>>18588470
That's actually surprised me. Even if Max is only bringing in 50-100k people live and 500k people in a week, they're still way up in terms of their TV output from this time last year.

>>18596792
Wow

>>18588629
>Revenue up
>Just hit 2 of their top 5 biggest gates ever in the last 3 months
>Ratings up from a year ago (not even including Max)
>Tickets being sold for $30-40 instead of $10 in massive arenas
>Just had their biggest merch intake ever for All In
>Just did 7000 people for Dynamite when last year they were peaking at 4000
I dunno man they seem to have started an upturn.

>>18588693
Kind of weird looking at the ratings because in terms of rankings they're typically number 1 with a smaller number than when they were 5-8 for the night and hitting 1.2m.

>>18596792
It's actually an apt comparison because Disney spent 10 years buying up other studios and publishing rights in the same way that WWE is cosying up to TNA, NOAH and AAA

>>18596792
AEW is the Snyderverse of wrestling

>>18596851
Hella based and full of Pajeets? Kek I can see it

>>18596851
Since I have no idea what a snyderverse is, I'm going to say you're right
