Wow! This page is just a hot pile of garbage. Grown ass men getting their jollies via being mean spirited douchebags because they weren't loved enough as children. I have no doubt in my mind that creepy Noid still lives in his mother's basement because no other woman would dare associate with him. He probably also has streamers on his bike so he could impress the kids in his neighborhood.

I want to say it is indicative of a problematic childhood since he's in his fifties but that's not fair. He's other issues that deserve more attention. Professional help to be blunt. At the very least, he gets his ass eaten on Fridays. So it's not all that bad.

861,000 viewers for Dynamite lol
WWF LiveWire called. They'd like their ratings back R.I.P |

My arguments that Daniel Bryan isn’t a draw from 7 years ago are being vindicated.

Dynamite ratings have been slipping since they started doing more "serious" wrestling and Jim Cornette has started liking the show!!! SHould go back to more comedy wrestling imho... AEW was better back then!

That number is a direct result of Tony Khan's random booking of nobody's versus top guys in WAY too competitive matches. MJF was right mocking it taking Punk SOOOO long to beat a guy with 2 wins in AEW.
They have squandered the major gift that fell into their laps getting Punk, Cole, and Bryan. They have lost almost a third of their Audience since the episode of Dynamite after All Out, which was only 3 months ago. Can you imagine the backlash WWE would be getting if 3 months from now Smackdown was getting a 1.4 rating? Losing that many viewers in 3 months time is bonkers. |

First thing’s first. Let’s not pretend Adam Cole is, or ever was, on the same level as Punk and Bryan.

Show has been too focused on CM Punk for the past 3 months... Don't need to see him wrestling every person on the roster each week in 15 min matches that only get interesting in the last 2 mins
MJF feud is the first time he has been interesting to me besides his debut |

I'm definitely over seeing Punk and Bryan work with the green AEW talent. Would much rather see them face off against the mid card guys that have a name.
I do feel they have cheapened the biggest tickets (Punk and Bryan) a bit by having so many exhibition style matches. |

I like that Danielson is just kicking the shit outta guys I’m mostly non competitive matches. Especially because they’re using it right now to get him over as a heel and tell a story.
I don’t know what is up with the ratings. I don’t care, to be honest. But it’s interesting they’re going through a lull considering they’ve been putting on pretty consistently strong shows in that time frame. |

Here are some contributing factors to AEW’s slipping ratings:
* Taking one of the most beloved stars in wrestling and turning him heel for no good reason. People who follow him over because they like him get to see him act like a dick and be a bully. Validates any kayfabe talk he couldn’t cut it in WWE anymore. Bad booking. * Having your top stars wrestle complete absolute losers competitively, and advertise this as a story. Last week MJF even pointed out Punk struggles with the easiest meals. These are not effective squashes. These are predictable and overexposing matches. You’re basically advertising the lettuce on the burger with this stuff. It’s also helped kill Rampage off. Bad booking. * Having good stuff on your show can often highlight how utterly crap everything else is. People don’t want to wade through crap. They followed up CM Punk’s debut with Matt Hardy vs. Orange Cassidy. Bad booking. * The new car smell continues to wear off. AEW made big promises and has barely made a splash. You can only ride being new and not being the dominant product for so long. They don’t get it. They have never gotten it. They likely never will. This product is not for wrestling fans. Not really. It’s for a certain type of nerd who has such a sadomasochistic relationship with wrestling that they consider someone spitting in a cup providing them a drink. This shit does not functionally work for most people who have either tuned out wrestling for being terrible in the past or just want sincere pro-wrestling. As I predicted, they got a little bit of a bump from their PPV, but have been riding interest down, down, down week after week by advertising shit people aren’t interested in. |

Last year, 1.571 million people were watching wrestling on a Wednesday. 45% of viewers have been run off that night. Last year was Winter is Coming, but this show had Danielson, Punk and a Street Fight advertised.
Interest is not being grown. |

There was no reason to turn Bryan heel THAT quickly, with zero build other than a heel was no longer the world champion. Just because Hangman is the champ instead of Kenny, Bryan suddenly goes out and insults the fans? That is not logical.

But don’t worry, moving to a new network is definitely going to help them come January.

I guarantee you, there are people who loved Daniel Bryan in the WWE who have sampled AEW and said “Eh, he’s not for me anymore” or some sort of variant. They make their product needlessly arcane. |

Imagine being some kid in the Midwest, and Daniel Bryan was your favorite wrestler. You tune into this new promotion that he’s chosen to work for. Now you’ve got to put up with him saying “shit” every two words (Mom doesn’t like hearing that on the TV), him acting disingenuous (you loved his sincerity) and he’s beating up the nerds like you instead of wrestling the actual bullies.
“Meh, maybe I’ve grown out of wrestling.” They’re tone fucking deaf. |

Punk and Danielson got eyeballs. They’ve lost eyeballs since. That either has something to do with the performer or their presentation. |

Stupid AEW not booking Daniel Bryan to be like he was in WWE in order to retain the good Christian boys who loved him there.
But also AEW is just another WWE-lite promotion. |
