The reddit thread about Wednesday's ratings was guaranteed to get some good stuff.

all from one dude posted:

Except the show is bad for the casual viewer because it is just a bunch of indy jobbers



NXT tries to at least get people over by having a select few people booked consistently strong. AEW is a cluster gently caress where their top stars need 30 minutes to go over so midget who has never seen the gym in his life.

Also AEW has no creativity AT ALL. It is just a bunch of pointless run-ins and now they just have pointless matches based on nothing.

Moxley went to AEW for creative freedom and all his does is middle fingers at the camera. It would be comical if it wasn't so sad for wrestling. This was a once in a generation opportunity with a billionaire behind it and they are loving it up with their indy bullshit and poo poo creative team (including tony khan whose experience in wrestling is subscribing to meltzer! lmao)




Dude, the show is the worst thing imaginable. It is an awful pro wrestling show. No heels/faces. Nobody is over at all and nobody can get over. Terrible wrestling that looks fake and amateur. And literally no storylines. And their champion is a 50 year old mega out of shape guy who appears to have a serious drinking problem.

They have no angles at all on their show. They did the whole "MJF turns on cody thing" and nobody gave a gently caress because nobody knew they were friends (who just watch the tv). So it meant nothing. And since then? Yeh...nothing at all.

It could not actually be worse. It is way way worse than even the worst TNA was. And this isn't just my opinion because the arenas are empty (even in chicago) and their ratings are PLUMMETTING.

Lol I checked his history and he posts on r/tories.

NXT and the Conservative Party, both unpopular with people under the age of 50 but winning because they're loved by old white men. A natural combination.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
I literally only watch the TV - didn't even watch the PPV bar the Emi Sakura-Riho match since it came on a big live wrestling weekend and it sat in my backlog so long that I'll probably never get to it now - and its remarkable how much that's like wrong. Plenty of angles on their show - the issue is that they all focus on a core group of talent while with the exception of the weird Allie-Brandi thing they've not really done any with their women's division - and I knew that MJF and Cody were pals: it was something that they were clearly pushing on their television. Also the thing about the wrestling looking "fake" is always stupid since perhaps with the exception of like RINGS in 1992 no pro wrestling since the very early days has ever looked "real" and what "real" often means to these people is "looked like it did when I was a kid" - indeed this is the crowd that I see insulting old shoot style wrestling as "not having selling" which is the dumbest thing you could possibly say. If that's an issue you have then like what modern pro wrestling is there for you? Hard Hit, whatever random tiny shoot style promotions remain in Japan and possibly bits of Bloodsport?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
replace Obama with AEW and Keyes with WWE for how the viewers and ratings work

Obama vs. Alan Keyes is proof. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But the twenty-seven percenters in Illinois voted for him. They put party identification, personal prejudice, whatever ahead of rational judgement. Hell, even like 5% of Democrats voted for him. That's crazy behaviour. I think you have to assume a 27% Crazification Factor in any population.

Even Hogan-Era TNA and Bischoff TNA had some level of logic in it's booking and were able to still have a somewhat decent X-Division in between the Tarantula matches and reverse battle royals.

Imagine seeing Feast or Fired matches and being told "THIS IS THE HALLMARK OF SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT" - that's going to be any Money in the Bank or TLC match or most likely the lackluster Royal Rumble.

I really can't watch WWE anymore, and I am fearful of watching NXT because you have this moment where you are seeing "the new toys" and then go "oh no, they are gonna be chewed up and fed to DA BIG DAWG"

Hard Hit doesn't run that much anymore, sadly. It's sad that this style that was gigantic is now barely clinging to life

but he was teamed with other people so he could just drink and hit people with a stick, even paul knew sandman couldn’t be trusted to carry a main event match

Wikipedia lied to you, it wasn't a PPV, it was just a show. It also featured Vampire Warrior (Gangrel before he got that name) vs Tommy Dreamer.

That year there was also a show called Enter Sandman. Sandman did not in fact headline, but he did have 2 10 minute plus matches, like Foley & Douglas. But to be fair, Public Enemy were the hottest act in the company in 1995, despite not actually being any better wrestlers than Sandman.

(Sandman vs Raven also headlined Cyberslam 96 and the amazingly named Big rear end Extreme Bash. The 1990s were a mistake)

The main event at House Party (1998) was Sandman vs Sabu in a Stairway to Hell match. I imagine he headlined a bunch of post-ECW indie shows too.
