Thread 19059648

Looks like Tony had daddy pull some strings and all quarter-hour info is going to be withheld for the foreseeable future.

>Note for readers:

>I don’t expect to publish quarter-hour TV ratings for the foreseeable future. Our sourcing that had provided data appears to have been asked to stop sharing it, likely as a result of pressure connected to Nielsen. Last Friday, I received an email from Nielsen in response to an earlier media inquiry (about HBO Max viewership, which WBD had by that time answered). The message copied several members of Nielsen’s legal and policy team. The media relations representative stated only that the team had “some questions” about the data I’ve reported. Nielsen hasn’t followed up, and I haven’t received any threat or warning. Based on the tone and timing, I suspect the email was meant mainly to signal concern.

holy fucking grim this ship is sinking

>>19059648 (OP)
Tony has the power to threaten Nielsen?

>>19059648 (OP)
At least Tony knows the situation is dire. Hopefully this forces him to improve the show.

>>19059660
That's right, more Daniel Garcia main events, we will restore the feeling

>>19059659
Shad does. Tony loses to TNA.

>>19059648 (OP)
Well shit, thats two hours of dead air for cornette i guess brian could slap his keychain to pad the shows out.

>>19059660
>Tony
>course-correcting
He's just going to double-down on presenting the garbage he personally likes, and now you won't be able to make fun of it using any hard data.

>>19059674
Those ratings segments are brutal.
Q1
>That's really low, Brian.
Q2
>That is 30k less than quarter one.
Q3
>this one only dropped 4k.
Q4
>Oh, they gained back 5k. Let's see if that continues...

Boooooooring.

>>19059648 (OP)
Sounds like Wrestlenomics was skewing the ratings in AEW's favor, Nielsen found out after their recent update/changes, and shut those fake ratings down for good. No more lies.

Add it to Tony's LIST for 2025

Brandon is in deep shit with Tony over his investigation into the All In fiasco . It speaks volumes when Dave, Bryan and SRS don’t even really look into the matter . I doubt Brandon is going to be Tony or his inner circles good graces anymore .

>>19059876
I don't even think Bischoff will address it since his podcast host, Conrad, runs Starrcast and helped Tony to try and defraud the Texas government

>>19059648 (OP)
Maybe Tony will open up a third party investigation to get to the bottom of it. Hopefully they can wrap up the WWE bot investigation first and present the findings.

>spends 6 figures on "bot research" claiming to investigate WWE
>AEW gets caught using bots on the reg ever since
Tony is such a piece of shit human being

>>19059876
Meltzer has spent decades opining about the WM 3 attendance, and hasn't said a word on air about All In. He passed right over it in the Observer too. It's all been really funny.

>>19060040
Well why would he attack the company he owns a part of?

>>19060065
Why does he act like he doesn’t own it?

>>19059648 (OP)
Based. Don't fuck with the Tonedog.

>>19060014
He is but it's his dream to book shitty wrestling and we should support a billionaire in all his pursuits because that's the human thing to do.

>>Note for readers:
Where's the source on this? Any screenshots?

>>19059648 (OP)
Can someone translate this for me?

Did Tony do this out of embarrassment?

Did Nielsen get tired of Thurston harassing them with inquiries?

Has Thurston been posting fake numbers and got hit with a cease and desist?

reminder that wrestling "fans" killed showbuzz daily too, funny how that site ran for a decade beforehand with no problems

>>19060196
The Wrestlenomics Patreon

>>19060240
You mean AEW fans killed showbuzz.

Oh so he'll keep showing Smackdown quarters then since it's just a Tiny problem :)

Dronies will call the Khans “nobodies” while in the same breath claim they somehow have the power to intimidate a company like Nielsen, an organization that works with multi-billion, multinational corporations, into altering how they report their proprietary data.

Make it make sense

>>19060337
Tony Khan is a nobody. His father is an actual success. And what power would they need here? Do you think Nielsen is the one providing the quarter hour data to Brandon you fucking retard?

>>19060355
>Do you think Nielsen is the one providing the quarter hour data to Brandon you fucking retard?
Yes you fucking retard and Nielsen is saying they aren't doing that anymore. Prove me wrong, have someone else take Brandon's place and tell them to ask Nielsen for the info they were giving Brandon

>>19060246
Cheers anon!

>>19059660
Tony booked Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta as a tag team tonight. He's incapable of learning from his mistakes and will never fix anything.

>>19059648 (OP)
AEW is dead, bury it

>>19060384
Is it you being retarded or your diabetes causing you to struggle to read basic English? The OP says that Brandons source will no longer provide quarter hour ratings because Nielsen threatened his source.

>>19060240
>>19060251
And Samba

>>19060454
Then will people cancel their Patreon subs?

>>19060493
People have already been canceling patreon subs because he hasn't had smackdown and nxt quarters for a long time

>>19060454
that's propriety information and whoever was leaking the info to Brandon is lucky they are being let go with a warning

>>19060219
The source thurston used was told to shut up by someone and they tagged alot of people in the email.
I think nielsen is just trying to keep whoever they sell their data to since everything got turned upside down numbers/rating wise last week.
This is just my smooth brained understanding of it.
Do i think aew stopped the leaker/source thurstin used? Yes. Because advertisers will not pay to advertise to no one. Kinda like how fox said smackdown viewers rarely bought anything advertised on smackdown. So fox happily sold smackdown to usa in order to keep those advertisers happy and that ad revenue rolling in.
Hope my dumb ass helped you understand better. Now everyone will explain it better than me.

>>19060514
Good

He don't like this thread

Based. Starve that cockroach Thurston of his yummy wummy data

>>19059876
When you go to war with the king, buddy, you better be prepared to get F'd in the A. Thurston is toast. Head on a platter shit.

>>19060251
AEW fans haven't cared about ratings in years, it's you guys and guys like Thurston who crave anti-AEW slop that obsess over them and harassed Metcalfe into killing ShowbuzzDaily

>>19059648 (OP)
Tony Kwab should be ashamed

>>19063937
I care about ratings. And so do networks and advertisers. Keep coping, chud.
