these assholes still watch deadliest catch like every day.

i feel like i need to start watching reality tv to relate to my future in laws and this is some sort of reverse birdcage. also i called it “reality tv” and they didn’t like that very much.

Why? He can still be on the show, they just won't mention anything except him being Brie's husband.

Or, uh, they'll do the exact opposite and play up "BRYAN WORKS FOR ANOTHER WRESTLING COMPANY, DOES THIS CAUSE TENSION AT HOME WITH BRIE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" and do a good number off of it because that poo poo draws.

Wow. So they are back to what they were pretty much doing head to head against AEW.

In 2020 they had a low/ high .12/.26 demo, and a low/high viewership of 542,000/876,000. So pretty much hitting the average 2020 numbers.

So I guess this means that when they’re on separate days, some of the NXT audience watches Dynamite but none of the Dynamite audience bothers with NXT?

Yeah. In contrast to NXT holding steady with viewership at best or going down, AEW's been consistently higher since the "war" ended. Even last week's decline to 889k was still a bigger audience than they'd had in the whole last month of the "war"

NXT's doing about what they did during it, AEW's been doing higher. I want to say it's what was expected (NXT was only there to try cutting the legs out of what AEW could gain)

I love every single time there is an opportunity for NXT to have a "all of my friends are just off screen, also watching my show" moment and it goes exactly how I would expect it because NXT still has the heart of the wwf's factory farm.

if i have The Lore Of The Alt-Right correct, they started videotaping themselves chugging milk and doing the OK sign after there was a study that non-white parts of the world have higher rates of lactose intolerance so they tried to turn milk into a white supremacy signal.

i think there was also an element of "triggering the libs" involved too because they thought that the libs didn't want people drinking milk anymore because of the study??? it's been a long time and there were a lot of really weird assumptions and mental gymnastics involved

as you might imagine, it didn't really take like they hoped it would

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
If anything it looks like Wednesday is better for NXT because occasionally they were able to pull audience away from AEW with hotshots, along with the contingent of people who just generally only watched NXT.

Pretty sure the dart just happened to hit “pirates” on the board coincidentally at the same time covid gave them an excuse to treat this year’s mania as a do-over. And it’s totally incidental to the backlash branding too. That’s just them trying to justify putting the wrestlemania label on another show which they’d still do if the 2020 dart had landed on cowboys or whatever.
