Yeah so the point is people bitch that AEW do too many ref distractions, but there are almost certainly still far less of those than there are lovely non-finishes in WWE.

What "change" are you speaking of exactly? Seems like people don't know exactly what they are boycotting anymore. Might as well boycott any show that takes place in a Conservative state. Many companies do business with SA. What about China? Russia? Or is it just the brown countries you people have a problem with?

They actually have reformed quite a lot things over the years. You know, you can actually do research.

Yes, I'm gonna watch the show. It literally doesn't change a drat thing not too. It's just a wrestling show. If you want some grandstanding nonsense pride to boycott, go ahead. You really showed them while still doing business with other companies that take their money.

God, I followed a rabbit whole about a tweet of Bischoff bragging about how 'WCW actually COMPETED and wasn't pretending' and it is amazing some of the complaints. Like for real. "Um, all AEW did was hire Punk and Danielson." Oh no! Hiring wrestlers people want to see! If only WWE might do the same! Wait, they do and then let them circle the drain in NXT for decades.

Good lord.

Yeah. The only reason Bischoff was able to compete was he was given unlimited resources and hired popular guys and still couldn't manage to beat WWF for two whole years.

So for those who didn't see it this tweet claimed it and the insane Robbie_WWE or whatever it was account were supposedly a Harvard Sociology study and had wrapped up.

If it's true I'm REALLY curious to know what the project was and what prof thought seeing how wrestling twitter worked was a good idea.

i mean, more likely that it was some student's idea for a project (if it was true)

Oh yeah but I would assume a prof green lit it.

Actually now that I say it that prof was probably thinking "Oh thank god someone actually has an idea, I don't need to help them get started" so it's probably not that shocking.

That's the thing I'm thinking about it and it could be a really interesting gauge on how competing fandoms interact in a society where Spectacle dominates much of the discourse.

Which I suspect is far more thought than anyone should put into a school project.

Okay I'm confused now. I thought the demo was what defined your place in the chart, not overall viewers. Did Dave mistype or is there some aspect of TV ratings I'm missing?
