Fueled by Satan

I so rarely read replies on twitter that when I see Meltzer going at it with people genuinely saying "AEW is over, how else do you explain these abysmal ratings??" and drill down to see the conversation happening I'm just amazed that these people exist and that Dave hasn't nuked his twitter account by now. It just very much mirrors the right wing talking points where it doesn't matter how many decades this person has spent studying this specific thing, they're obviously wrong about it because someone else told them a thing they want to believe.

Yeah, if you count DVR viewers it's at something like 1.3 million

people are just out partying or asleep that late on a Friday, which may be lovely for Rampage if that's where it will be slotted, but doesn't say much about Dynamite

The first hour supposedly does pretty well (especially for the timeslot) so Rampage should be fine.

Yeah, the quarter hours I saw had the first hour in the high 600s before it dropped into the 4s as the show got closer to midnight.

DVR ratings are only for the :smugdog: crowd. Advertisers don't give a gently caress because ppl will fast forward through their PUBES commercial.

Normally, I agree with that but here it's relevant as a metric of how many people may still be interested in watching the show live when it moves back to its normal time slot

Am I reading into stuff that probably isn't meant to be read into, or is the most likely outcome for Darby vs Men of the Year that Lance Archer comes out and is Darby's tag partner, if Darby doesn't just tag himself in again and manage to win solo?

edit: also Moxley needs to do his book's audiobook, 100%

If not him, Kingston

If not either of them, just ten hours of silence, breathing, and the sound of turning pages, then Mox says "Wait, out loud?" and end of the file.

I'd guess that either someone helps Darby or he gets his rear end beat and begins to realize that he can't actually do everything by his lonesome.

Viewership transference from timeslot to timeslot is a dubious art. That said, once they get to a regular, not competing with horny hours or someone's failed training brand, timeslot they will def get back the million viewers regularly trend.

kenny omega could retire before this year is over. they really need to fast track adam page's push to replace him. aew could be in big trouble if cody comes out of his bubble since he sees himself as a top wrestler and is actually a top draw type of talent. he would become the focus of everything rather than 'his thing'. Gotta be careful

The Wednesday Night War is over. AEW's ratings have held constant for over a year and a half; it's neither growing nor sinking in any significant way. So if TNT/TBS is happy then I'm happy.

People are weird about Cody but the guy who loves America to an embarrassing degree and has an America neck tattoo naming his child Liberty is funny, sorry

Cody continues to be the perfect “fun to make fun of” guy because he’s ultimately harmless. He’s like the best possible scenario if you input the personality traits “second generation professional wrestler” “vocal patriot” “self-indulgent” “dummy.” Please do move on from The Factory though
I actually really enjoy Cody when he portrays himself well. Right before AEW, he was this agent of chaos rear end in a top hat in New Japan who caused a Bullet Club schism, and it was a blast to watch. He was even fine in early AEW as workhorse king of the midcard, so I didn't have an issue with him before the current iteration either.

The reason I goof on him now is because I really don't understand what he's trying to do. The Factory feud very abruptly turned him into 2010s John Cena: heavily protected American pride boy scout, right down to the blind troop support and literally the same exact "love me or hate me, your difference of opinion is why AMERICA IS GREAT" bullshit. I guess there's a case to be made that they've been stuck in the deep red South for the past year where his dad made his family's name, so his pandering about racial harmony being an American value via his racism-solving baby might get through to some of those people? But to anyone else watching it's cringey and tone-deaf in 2021, and I don't get the need for that kind of character right now, especially as a babyface.
