Lolz makes it look like a third of the AEW audience is actually WWE fans that tune into Dynamite since nothing else is on TV during Wednesday...

To be fair, Dynamite was not on its usual night and as the old saying goes, wrestling fans are creatures of habit so there was likely a sizeable portion of AEW fans who had no idea it was on a Tuesday night.
And yes, I'm sure an even larger portion decided they would have to choose one show and chose NXT for that week.

Good point.
 
I went back and watched this week show of AEW Dynamite...It was alright solid show!!....They started off the show with a good match with Jay White vs Penta.. :yes: .....That match with Omega vs Kyle Fletcher was really good...:yes:....The Don Callis Family segment was good..Those boo's they be making when Don Callis talks be loud and funny..Good to see that they are giving Powerhouse Hobbs some shine again!!...The Sting retirement segment was good..When Sting was talking, he brought back memories of some of the wrestlers he name!!...That was dope!!..The last match, The Diamond Ring Battle Royal was ok...I kinda knew that Juice Robinson was going to win it

Also, that Swerve segment was good as well..


Overall, It was a alright solid show!!...Keep it going!!..

Aussie Open are very dope and should belong if not the champs, then top contenders. And they both could thave great singles runs. Mark Davis and Brodie King could a great feud. AEW has some great big guys, but none of them wrecking enough shop. It shouldn't have to be one at a time.

Yeah, I hear you on that!!..
 
In his head he probably thinking, some men pay for this, I got paid to have it happen, I'm a winner

 
I'm really tired of the Crown Jewel event. It always has a stack card but it's also a glorified house show and no major titles will change hands or storylines develop.

I see Logan Paul is back for his Saudi Arabia paycheck. I wonder if Brock will randomly pop up in the next few weeks.

Even the LA Knight match feels like the Roman/Sami match from a few months ago. It's clearly a throw away match, for a throw away PPV, where the fans can pop but Roman damn sure ain't losing.

Yep, it's basically just a hyped up house show but WWE ain't turning down that Saudi $$$ anytime soon especially with the new ownership.

They need to fix that all that money they make from it they can make a bigger deal than they do.
 
Didn't The Fiend beat Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship a few years ago as a Crown Jewel event?

They not but it has to be a reason why they never have any impactful matched or storylines….it seems intentional.

It's a paid show, meaning WWE receives a pre-set amount regardless of what kind of show they put on.
They don't get a cut of the ticket sales, gate, merch, etc.
They really don't have any incentive to put on a show with impactful storylines or matches.
The folks there just want to see the stars they see on TV in-person.

Actually didnt' know that about the merch I thought they get paid and get all of that as well. But isn't this exactly what a PPV is? How much do they do on a PPV? The PPV's are mostly wrestling.
 
Wow....I knew Bruno Sammartino and Vince had a falling out for some time, but I never saw this Larry King Show exchange.

Reason why Bruno was not in the A&E Documentary on wrestling during the Attitude Era. Vince never gave the historical footage of Bruno and they just skipped his era and claimed it was owned only by Andre before him passing the torch to Hogan.
