Just saw the ratings for last night. Wrestling is so fucking dead lol. WWE pulled out every stop humanly possible and couldn't get a million. AEW pulled just over half a mil. It's literally just two retards fighting in the playground at this point.

Wrestling on tuesdays usually draws 800k lately, give or take. 1.53 million people watched collectively last night. Against playoff baseball. I don't know how your take away from that is that wrestling is dead.

I really don't think there's much crossover between the fanbase of MLB playoff baseball and wrestling fans. 1.53 million people watching with a bunch of commercial free time, multiple title shots, John Cena, Undertaker, etc is not good. Like at all lol

You are literally on a message board where pretty much everyone that watches wrestling regularly also posts in the baseball thread daily. Not much crossover. lol k.

You're totally right. It's simply coincidence that the people who like baseball and wrestling are all that's left.

I don't care about baseball therefor no one else who likes wrestling cares about baseball either.

NXT also won in the demo, if demos still matter (we know they don't unless AEW can brag on it ).

Sports isn’t as big a factor with wrestling as once suspected. Wrestling impacts wrestling. NXT spanked them.

Especially given baseball's recent struggles with getting viewers itself. I could see game 7 of the NBA finals, or some of the marquee NFL games making a minor dent, but that's about the extent. Rasslin fans are generally stinky gleeborg nerds who aren't into sports, they just want to see Kenny Omega holding up a "heckin trans rights" sign and clap for Canadian destroyers

Did they really have Cena and Taker show up on NXT? Jesus. Lol
That shit definitely should have hit a million. |

Gotta love the people mad that WWE used main roster stars on NXT to be unfair to AEW. Only AEW is allowed to use WWE main roster stars on their show!
Edge Christian Chris Jericho Daniel Bryan Paige 3 people who have main evented Wrestlemania, all 5 who were World Champs in FEDBAD. Couldn't beat Developmental, couldn't even get 65% of what hip toss school got. Classic Cultists lol |

why did they even bring taker and cena to nxt anyway? i legit dont know.
also, lol at anyone trying to compare those 5 names to taker OR cena, alone. Daniel Bryan is the only real notable name there. As great as he is, he's still nothing compared to cena or taker, IMO. |

Why not, is WWE just supposed to roll over because AEW is on? Cena and Taker mixing it up with Bron and Melo only helps Bron and Melo.
Without using WWE Main Roster stars, would AEW even still be on TV? Maybe WWE loaded up the show to embarrass the idiot owner of AEW who personal takes cheap shots at WWE constantly. He called Shawn Michaels a bald asshole on Twitter, because Shawn books a wrestling show? You can bet your ass he would sign Shawn Michaels in a heartbeat if he could, just to tell Shawn what a great fan he is and to give him awkward hugs. |

So they pulled two of their biggest (former) stars "because AEW"?

Also, I didn't think NXT/WWE needed to do anything at all because AEW is on?

It's weird that it's bad for WWE to use their old talent to boost ratings but AEW using old WWE talent is fine.

Still applies. Hell we aren't even touching on AEW having to do a pre-show for a TV show and calling in legends from other promotions to boost it up. In fact the AEW pre-show was an ROH guy vs a NJPW guy. AEW wasn't even involved. That's pure desperation! |

Why not bring back Marko Stunt just to see what kind of shapes Ron Garvin can twist him into? That’ll draw a million.

Nobody would have even brought that up if not for Tiny Khan and his minions acting like WWE had no right to book their own people on their own show. I posted this in the cocaine thread, but is it any surprise how unaware the cultist are when their fearless leader is bragging about ending John Cena's and Undertaker's ratings streak? Quote:

It was a good night of wrestling and there has been a great amount of discussion from it since.
I will say...if WWE had just run a normal NXT show (still using Dom and Becky as their respective champions) AND had still beat AEW, it might have been time for Tiny to hang it up. |

AEW should bring Magnum T.A. out of retirement for a match. That'll def boost ratings.
