He made owe. Do that blue blazer BS to get back at his brother.
She wants the same thing apparently some of y'all want, the death of WWE. LOL
Owen never wrestled for AEW.
Carry on.
I know I personally don't want the end of WWE. Neither does Tony Khan or any other sensible professional wrestling fan. That would be bad for the industry. What I do want however is WWE to get off this whole elitist isolationist mindset and start humbling themselves. Be kind and fair to your employees, work with other wrestling promotions instead of trying to bury them and stop with the overly scripted sports entertainment bullshit. It's not rocket science. Imagine if WWE were humble enough to work with AEW and other promotions and put on a super show. The amount of money that would generate. The dream match possiblies. Instead they rather do business with Saudi Arabia. Until WWE gets it's head out of it's ass you're going to see more and more people gravitating towards AEW.
Because MNF and AEW have been beating them in the 18-49 rating demo. So they've gotten desperate to pop a good rating hence why you see the hot shot booking of Lashley, Big E and Reigns.
I need Finn Balor to flip
In due time.
Was listening to Billi Bhatti and he's right, they don't give a shit about that demo. Disco says it all the time too, look at their audience: men, women, & children. The biggest demo they care about: the kids! They don't focus on that demographic & the networks know that. Fox is pissed they passed on Punk & gave the network to NBC, NBC is pissed Fox got the better show.
I can agree with the WWE focusing on the children.
Shit, the first time I watched was (or remembered) was when my dad had me watch the first WrestleMania and saw Hogan slammed Andre... I've been a WWE kid, but when I got older in my age that's when things changed.
AEW is there for the teens and above at this moment and exposing other wrestling shows like Impact, GCW and NJPW helps the industry.
I
What was he recovering from..?
Except for a few years during the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras, WWE has always been children's geared entertainment.
That's where they make their money..
I watched the third ever Saturday Nights Main Event the other night with my kid on Peacock and it was a Halloween special. All the wrestlers, heels and faces were a dressed in costumes. This was back before WrestleMania 2, when Hulk Hogan still wore white trunks and tag teamed with Andre the Giant. Tito Santana fought Macho Man for Chico's intercontinental title.
Looking at it with adult eyes, it was mad childish but none of us cared back then because it was real to us....

Just to give you an idea of what Arthur Ashe Stadium looks like where AEW Dynamite will be held tomorrow night. It has a total seating capacity of 23,771. Last time I checked AEW sold somewhere around 21,000 tickets.

I wonder if Cornette will show up with a racquet and all ...
Wow

Fuck all that, how will Tony book the shit...cause its still a clusterfuck booking wise.
How so? Please elaborate.
Laaaaaazy booking
I'll leave it at that. All the afterbirths, all the interruptions during a promo, Jericho/MJF, I could keep going...it's shitty booking & wrestlers too green for tv getting too much time.
Woo!! Woo!! Woo!!! Woo!! Woo!!
I like how you used the word wresting and wrestlers. There not Superstars they are fucking wrestlers and I like the fact AEW calls them that.
Advertisers care about that 18-49 demo. They're the ones that spend the money.
Yeah, WWE can get kids to want their merch, but the kids don't buy it. The kids can't make bets on Draft Kings, or buy Gillette razors, or buy phone plans on Cricket Wireless or drive Hyundais. They gotta engage the parents, too, aka the 18-49 demo.
Otherwise, Raw and SD would just be kid shows. They wouldn't have Roman making missionary jokes and all the women calling each other bitches if they weren't trying to engage young adults.
This is the Arthur Ashe card, BTW. They're doing a 4-hour taping tomorrow, Rampage will be two hours Friday, it's basically a PPV:
I see we have a fellow 'Cult of Cornette' member here.Laaaaaazy booking

Appealing to kids has traditionally worked for the WWE, especially during the 80s with Hulk Hogan.
The parents bring the kids to the shows and buy the merch and sometimes buy for themselves. That is still a coveted demo.
It's like animated movies that primarily appeal to kids but then throw in small doses of adult humor for the parents that brought their kids.
TV viewership among kids is down today because kids have so many other options when it comes to TV viewing (YouTube, streaming, etc.).
We just have to accept at some point that WWE is not for us anymore. Just like MTV is not for us anymore. It's for our kids now.
WWE is now doubling down on appealing to kids while AEW is doubling down on appealing to the 18-49 demo.
This is a great video package. I'm really hyped for tonight's show. I think this ends in a draw. They haven't done one of those in a while and it can be effective. All you got to do is look at Omega's time limit draw against Kazuchika Okada at NJPW Dominion in 2017. It's considered one of the best matches ever.

Told my Buddies we gonna hit up a whorehouse near Arthur Ashe Stadium before the show they were like " We don't want to miss the action"

There's a whorehouse near Arthur Ashe Stadium? That's pretty convenient.
I was kind of serious the neighborhood close to the stadium Corona Queens around Roosevelt Ave plenty of spots but I'm gonna settle for a bar with dancing women.
But with kids now having so many other options to choose from, you would think Vince would pivot and either make something for that demo he lost or come with a better product that will bring those kids back. Forcing his talent to get rid of their Twitch, Youtube channels was STUPID as he is losing kids to those services. Now forcing them to be family friendly or cutting promos for the WWE within their streams would be a path better for everybody.
