It genuinely is a shame. Having a strong second promotion would be awesome. Unfortunately, we got AEW instead and they're fucking it up for everyone else. Let's hope TNA can continue to gain momentum and maybe regain that number 2 spot...
It's not a question of when or if AEW will die, the issue is they're in an unwinnable race and they're pushing themselves further and further back from ever finishing.
Bro this is funnier than anyone will give you credit for, and it's 100% true. What's the sawed off midget Jim always used to scream about? Growth stunter or something? I don't remember, but he was one of those guys that beat COPE AND MOX!!! lol
The look on Kennys face when he walked out shows he doesnt give f*** about this company any longer. He wants to be back in Japan, and it's become blatantly obvious now.
WWE is already selling Penta masks. AEW never thought about it in 6 years. That tells you everything you need to know about that “company” or should I call it “vanity project”
@@tradertrader6070 Nah, he was still over as hell and the crowd was super into the match. Penta wasn't hurt. Just the opposite, actually. Were it a squash, like you first claimed, nobody would have cared about any of this, beyond his entrance. It was a great showcase for Penta, and Gable, given his skillset, was the perfect first opponent for him.
It’s hilarious cause “Whatculture “ guys say that AEW book their Casino Gauntlet matches better than WWE does the Royal Rumble. Honestly the last ten minutes of the last 2 Rumbles have been better than any episode of Dynamite.
Whatculture is insufferable with their praise of AEW and Meltzer. They will compliment AEW and the next article down they're bashing WWE for the same thing
Tony's arrow is always up. He uses cocaine. And drinks white claws, which to be totally honest, I thought was strictly a woman's drink until I saw him drinking it.
that 9 o clock bump sounds like people looking to see if that is where Kenny Olivier was going to show up and upon seeing MidJeff and Slapnuts they decidedd they had better thing sto do with their night than stick around to see if he shows up at the end.
@ as far as ratings go NXT is closer to what AEW was this week, but with the Rock NXT blew the doors on the ratings compared to AEW, but the only reason why I said this is because a guy said this to me in the previous episode and I agreed with him.
AEW's downfall wouldn't be so embarrassing if WWE wasn't simultaneously experiencing a new boom. TNA didn't even experience that level of dominance from WWE
I think people like myself who are enjoying wwe, coming off that Netflix raw debut, were open to seeing what AEW would deliver. Instantly saw same old AEW N tuned out
Notice how a show where the Bucks Jericho and Moxley are nowhere to be seen is one where the ratings don’t go falling off a cliff. Funny how that works 🤔
Well, at least they are stable on 500-600k but they only sold 2.4k tickets for this dynamite, which is almost the same for colission, people are starting to realize that no matter how cheap their ticket is, it is not worth to sit there 3 hours watching crap wrestling with no/shitty storylines. And this is how you realize that AEW has no star-power, Omega, Edge which is suppose to be their biggest draws together with MJF only pulled 15k more than last dynamite, The Rock which is semi-retired way past his prime and barely appears on WWE TV drew almost 1 million on NXT, now you may call me stupid ''oh you're comparing these 3 with The Rock'' well, isn't Omega suppose to be The Best in the World right now? Isn't Edge the hugest signing in AEW? Isn't MJF the best heel in the industry right now? If they are so, how can they get completely buried by a 52 years Old way past him Prime The Rock with a promo just hyping NXT. The Star Power that MJF had is also gone. AEW has dig a hole that they can't get out of it anymore. Tony is a Delusional Mark.
This is what happened to WCW though. Every time they'd hit a viewing plateau it'd stick around for a while but the houses never improved and actually got worse. Then the viewers would fall even further off a cliff. I genuinely think AEW could fall to 300k if they're not careful.
I thought a guy like Jack Black would be more old school in his wrasslin' (he 100% would say it that way) tastes, yet here he is in a McFingerbang shirt.
The AEW Diehards will die on the hill of the Samba TV 664k for RAW, even knowing it isn't true. The 4.9 mil for RAW broke them. Funny but they have nothing to say with the fact that MAX has yet to reveal any ratings, and AEW can barely break 600k. Hell, they had the return of Kenny Omega, which should have opened the show, but instead closed it, it barely popped the numbers. Meanwhile, NXT they were in the 900k the entire show, and yes did have a promo at the end by the Rock.
Everyone who feels bad for Kenny Omega needs stop. The Young Bucks wrote a book called “Killing The Business” and he still went into business with them! He deserves it! 👏👏👏👏👏
I couldn't care less about him as he chose his side but the return showed that he doesn't want to be in the company any longer. No energy, no nothing. He's there to do a job, and that's it.
Considering people say that Heyman is the New Yorker version of Cornette, and Cornette is the southern version of Heyman. Are you implying the same principle applies to Brian and Conrad?
I watched Dynamite and I was so confused about this Casino battle royale that had a single pinfall and about 10 or so people lying on the floor outside the ring for most of the match. What exactly makes it a battle royale if you have to wait until the last person is in and then it's a pinfall only finish? I was wondering why no one was attempting to actually eliminate anyone.
That makes a lot of sense. 34-49 are the fans left who still remember the 90s and before when wrestling was still wildly popular. That demo is the last of the diehards.
Jim's surprise near the start that they managed over 600K says it all in terms of current standards. It doesn't seem too long ago that slipping below 900K was bad and below 800K was a disaster. Now they would dream of those numbers.
Well, they got over the 600k hurdle for the second time in seven weeks. That's something, I guess. Now Jim needs to tell us some more what a "big star" Bobby Lashley supposedly is...
Good old Bryan Alvarez is saying that on top of that 615K on tv, Dynamite likely had an additional 200K-250K viewers on Max. Very optimistic and who knows if it's even true.
The fact that people think Bobby Lashley is great makes me laughs. These were the same people who said that Lashley was boring when he was in WWE along with Shelton Benjamin now they find them entertaining is laughable. Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin are great wrestlers. That are still very boring and are terrible on the mic. They are the flavor of the month. Just like Ricochet and Mercedes Mone was. They will be forgotten. AEW had something with Private Party. Tony Khan didn't know what to do with them. Tbh The Hurt Syndicate should be fighting the Death Riders or better known as the ratings killers.
Edge really is the ultimate opportunist. The word "cope" has pretty much become synonymous with AEW and with Meltzer. I feel it has to be one of the more frequented words whenever unhinged AEW diehards start interneting. Changing his name to Cope makes him the most trending AEW name in social media metrics 😂😂😂
I hate to say it but getting 500,000 on a live event is gonna consider good now because frankly people don’t wanna watch live events unless it’s basketball football baseball track field
Jim and Brian completely avoided talking about it, but man Hurt Syndicate are ratings poison. their quarter hour was rock bottom this week. They're quickly becoming the 2025 equivalent of the 2023/2024 Young Bucks.
@@wilcee238 Private Party never caused the ratings to nosedive like this. Hurt Syndicate have been a drag on the ratings for a while now, but it's just getting worse. The next segment had *two* commercial breaks and a freaking casino gauntlet match and it did better than Hurt Syndicate lol
AEW has gotten to a point where even Kenny Omega looks like he doesn't want to be there
I honestly can't tell if his comments some months back were a work or not. He sounded like he legit didn't care much about the company anymore, or at least his place in it.
He just wants to move back to Japan. You can tell he’s just doing this for the money.
It's a shame he's made of glass these days. I always liked him and wanted to see a run in WWE.
If he was smart he’d stay clear and save face.
And HOmega wants to be anywhere.
AEW’s downfall has been breathtaking to witness. What a shame….

The reaction to Tony's tag team announcement yesterday for this week's collision was something else
Kenny Omega didn’t even seem like he wanted to be there. Looked like he was embarrassed to be associated with the company at this point. Sad.

And the demo for gas station pizza enjoyers came in late so the number is really much higher than it appears at first- Meltzer probably

Highly promoted? Uh... ok.
TwinkleToes is a Draw Confirmed
Like when AEW numbers went up 3000 for a quarter when CM Punk appeared, and Cornette seriously said that that confirms that Punk is a draw.
