Please post about the Wednesday Night Wars ratings in here so that when I read the AEW thread on Thursday and Friday it's not 90% Ratings chat.

It's time....for the MAIN event!
Look, I just want to see HHH and Cody make out on live TV, and make out HARD!. The ratings are just the gravy that is their wet tongue sauce splashing on our faces, the loyal Nielson family.

The ratings help me decide if the billion dollar corporation I am supporting is winning, and thus if my life has meaning.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Back in elementary school my 6th grade class were all WCW fans, so us cool kids called ourselves the NWO and started too sweeting each other and saying that we were "4 Lyfe".

The other 6th grade class were WWF fans and started calling themselves DX and doing crotch chops and telling us to "suck iiiiiittt!"

I am glad some things haven't changed and I still put much of my self worth and personal identity behind pro wrestlers.

Seriously though only one company got me to buy bottles of sparkling wine because of something their world champion says, so I think we know who the REAL winner is here.

Denied. Ratings (and politics) are part of wrestling and you can't just cast them off to some thread to die. It must live on in the main thread.

yes you can because you cannot demonstrate that ratings and good wrestling have any relation.

I really love AEW and want them to do well and increase their fanbase and make a lot of money then have the workers unionize...ok that last one is wishful thinking.

on the one hand i have a bunch of obsolete knowledge abt tv ratings and viewership that i could use to spin up some righteous nonsense abt holiday weeks, political engagement levels of fanbases, and takeover-grade shows on regular-rear end television

on the other hand who gives even a single poo poo watch what you watch no one wins in capitalism and we’re all gna die regardless

All of the ratings are well over 9000 so there is nothing to worry about.

Incredible, it'd been so long since I'd seen a "golden manbaby" post that I had to open SAclopedia, also for the first time in nearly 10 years, to remind myself of what golden manbabies are

i don't care about nxt vs aew but seeing two absolutely stacked rosters barely able to draw 1.5 million people combined (and dropping every single week) makes me really depressed about the state of american professional wrestling

Not even combined because some of those are the same that flipped between channels.

Lacey is really good actually
I still have a facebook for some reason and its almost funny to see how WWE fans react when NXT wins the night. But I am curious are these just live numbers or Live and same night DVR?

this one is not clear enough about being where you're supposed to say "AEW is dead." if the title of this thread is changed to reflect the intended content then i will close the "Thread for saying AEW is dead"

You cannot defeat the WWE universe. While you were drinking with your friends on Thanksgiving Eve, they were watching NXT. While you were opening presents with your family and eating Christmas dinner, they were watching an NXT recap show of matches they watched 2 weeks ago. On New Years Day while you watch college bowl games and recover from your hangover they will be watching NXT to see who wins Overall Competitor of the Year at the NXT Year-End Awards.

Reading the ratings in a more entertaining way:

NXT: 831,000 .22 in the demo
TNT's 7 PM showing of A Christmas Story in AEW's normal time slot: 1,030,000 .32 in the demo
