"Well you know it's all about demos".
Lol fuck off. Your viewership has been cut in half and you're losing every week now to WWE developmental. |

WWE's viewership has been cut in half too tho, it's an all around thing and it's a big positive
The fanbase is finally shrinking to manageable number, now we just need to get less wrestling on TV so it's less of a time commitment for fans! |

That huge gap NXT has with older viewers pretty much has been the only reason they won total viewers these past 2-3 weeks. Pretty much wipes away whatever advantage AEW has elsewhere with demos.
Also kind of crazy how the one WWE show that's supposed to be catered towards younger fans has pretty much been the opposite almost from the start with some exceptions. |

The WWE thinks it's catering to young fans with NXT, but really the no bullshit style does cater to an older crowd. I would be interested to see how much of the audience used to watch the old territories (including pre Hogan WWF)

Yeah, its also why WWE might be looking at another Cena-like disaster within a couple years in the sense of not properly building up their next core of young TV viewers with NXT.
At some point that reliable old WWE audience is going to crack and all three of WWE's brands are going to suffer even worse than now. Similar thing happened back in the mid-90s where WWE was only being kept afloat by their older viewers and were only saved by WCW taking off big time which lead to the Attitude Era and their new core of young viewers forming. NXT's already proven in the past that they can't form that new young core on their own nor be that much of a factor in improving WWE's main shows. |

Shad just needs to take the phone away and tell Tony no more White Claw and Taco Bell until he displays a better attitude.

Closest to him in WWE might be Road Dogg since he'd constantly get into online arguments over some of the smallest and dumbest stuff possible, especially during his time as the lead writer of Smackdown. |

At least on the bright side, TPWW got a quick shout out during Tony's rambling on Twitter today.

Hahahaha! Tony Khan clearly hurt as fuck by the viewership. If he were truly happy, he wouldn't be melting down so hard. He's starting to work out how hard it is to run a wrestling promotion when the boys are constantly trying to get their shit in and he should say no, but doesn't have the balls.
I seriously doubt the industry uses Showbuzz lists to decide where to invest money, and I seriously doubt the cable television is the most effective way to reach the 18-49 demographic you've got a tiny slice of in 2020. Also, the internet only cares about that demo when it comes to AEW. They talk shit about Raw and SmackDown's viewership constantly because it's no fun to talk about how they are usually #1 or #2 in the demo. |

Khan brought this on himself by boasting about more viewers before the pandemic.
The reality is that winning the demo was always the most important thing to networks anyway, but it's not hard to see why bringing up the demo now makes it look like he's getting defensive and moving the goalposts. It doesn't matter if what he's saying is true, he looks butthurt. He should've never brought up ratings in the first place no matter how proud of them he is. I don't care to see CEOs boast about ratings. That's Trump shit. |

Oh and about those "demos" that Khan holds near and dear.
1 show advertised Mountain Dew, Little Ceasers, State Farm, m&m, Lexus, papa johns, T-mobile, Thrivent, Hershey, Iams, stamps.com, Good Rx, Terminex the first 30 min. The other Cracker Barrel, Sensodyne, Taco Bell, Mirror, Warby, Geico. Any guesses which is which. He can crow about his demos all he wants, NXT is THUMPING AEW in terms of quality sponsors. |

This is exactly what I meant when I said I want AEW to fail. Not because I don't want more wrestling, but because I get far more enjoyment out of these meltdowns from these pretentious assholes who crow about how great AEW is, but then meltdown anytime somebody doesn't buy into their cult brainwashing.
The fact that this time it was the petulant manchild of a billionaire who calls himself the owner, well that makes it all the more sweeter. |

Can't wait to see Jericho and Tony's meltdowns when NXT beats them in the demos. They've invited this.
