Pretty sure their ratings always drop around Mania. It is what it is.

Tony should open up the strategic pop reserve at a time like this then.

I wish you hadn't said that because now I'm gonna be real annoyed when Kenny comes back and he isn't Kazu's weird half-ghost stalker for the entire build to their PPV match

It's just depressing at this point cause it feels like no matter what they do the ratings just get worse and worse and there's nowhere you can have any actual discussion about AEW cause it's just people screaming endlessly about how poo poo it is and how stupid you are for liking it and I dunno man maybe it should just loving die already so we can move on.

I think you need to tune out of this discourse because trying to understand why people at large don't like the excellent things you enjoy is futile and just diminishes your enjoyment of the things that make you happy Also "worse and worse" is still a top show on cable

they're gonna get a big tv deal and continue putting great matches on tv and PPV, outside of crowds getting smaller still and mjf creative coming back I don't see what's to be depressed about

It's such an easy fix though - put the titles on top flight + andretti and make trios the rampage/party division.

Hefty Leftist posted:stop reading reddit It's this. You can consume sky-is-falling reports and read hot take factories full of people spamming the empty arena photo and laugh-reacting to Bad Number all day or you can watch cool wrestling you like and think "drat, I liked that" and then be content. TK has enough money to run this thing forever. Eventually the media rights deal will drop as well. This is the Hell Thread though so yeah I hope BCG gets the AEW Trios Championships as well because while I still love Bowens and have fondness for the whole act, it's time to sunset The Acclaimed for a bit

fez_machine posted:PWG-style party matches should be the entire point of the trios division AEW trios division should what the Cruiserweight division was for WCW. I get the new normal of putting big matches like Shibata/Ospreay first while the crowd is hot. Here's the thing for TV though - none of the casual fans you're trying to keep from the lead-in A) have any idea who these guys are and B) understand pro wrestling enough to get why their stuff is so cool. It's something that's occurred to me when thinking of the best way to introduce my girlfriend to it. The stuff that makes me mark out the most - like the entire Takeshita/Ospreay match - subverts expectation. You need context for that stuff to blow your mind. Lead TV with fun party matches and build the card towards the main event(s) to lead the viewer through it.

Tony frequently does this thing where he will feature a person one week and then they vanish the next without explanation or follow-up. I've come to accept this. The part that's annoying me is that he never applies this to Chris Jericho. Not sure where the "can AEW go one week without embarrassing itself" thing is coming from. Each week they deliver multiple hours of great matches and they will get renewed. Trying to watch even a few minutes of WWE at its "hottest in decades!" (Fox cancelled Smackdown) is unbearable

Jericho is one of AEW’s only ratings draws so taking him off tv when the numbers continue to plummet might not be the best idea, methinks
