Why are we engaging with this reactionary? Ratings declining and leveling out after a highly-promoted premiere is pretty standard, even on highly successful shows. TNT is happy with the results and they've exceeded expectations. If they want to clutch their pearls and collapse on a fainting couch, that's their business.
As for ticket sales in the south, who knows. Maybe a lot of people are busy that time of the year. Maybe their support in the south is softer than they'd like it to be. Doesn't mean the sky is falling. People need to chill out.
That's all you get out of me if you're going to be ranting about "workrate" (what year is it?), fat dudes and purple haired chicks. Enjoy.
Facts and reality clearly make you uncomfortable to the point where you try to convince others not to engage. Only to engage yourself.
As far as workrate and 2019.... that word and the year has more relevance than ever TBH. Most of wrestling worships at its alter and no coincidently almost nobody watches.
But anyway, the gist of your post is that even though they’ve lost half their audience in 5 weeks and attendance is dropping like a rock, everything’s great and there’s nothing to see her.
Oh and the attendance.... it’s not “who knows”. It’s that even the most hardcore of hardcore marks can’t afford to follow this company around country every week. Ask everyone with a functioning brain predicted 9 months ago

Now I'm just super curious as to what you think would make their ratings go back up, build and sustain their audience, etc.
Surely it's not something stupidly vague like "appeal to the mainstream".
Well we know what DOESN’T build an audience.... a product based around workrate between talents with poorly defined/non existent characters involved simplistic/non existent storylines. Aka AEW right now.
What I think would make the numbers go up is what’s always made the numbers go up... drama and a laser focus on characters (not just in the main event but up and down the card) with workrate being the backdrop not the entire main course. And no, what WWE does isn’t that at all... it’s a poor imitation of that at best.
Now I could be wrong and maybe wrestling is pretty much dead anyway. But it sure as shit is worth a try instead of continuing to do stuff that CLEARLY doesn’t appeal to half of the audience that they literally has five weeks ago.

You're aware that the only audience that's watching wrestling are the hardcore fans, right?
That’s my point and the fucking problem. And instead of addressing that and trying to grow he audience again, AEW doubles down, tells the majority of fans to go F themselves and caters to their little club of fat bearded dudes and purple haired chicks.
20 minutes ago, Casey said:I don't know what you expected out of a group of guys who formed their own promotion, have a meta webseries, and have a PPV coming up this weekend that's named after a running gag in said meta webseries about wrestlers always wearing their gear at the dumbest of times.
Well I expected them to maybe not lose almost half their audience in 5 weeks.
But point well taken on the rest of that. No argument from me that this promotion is a giant jerk off vehicle for 5 dorks.

Hello ignore list.
I love how this is some kind of “gotcha” among the sensitive hardcore wrestling fan population.

Longtime lurker and you finally start an account, to have this discussion?
Doesn't seem legit.
Fell out of wrestling for a while and would check in here and there. Was excited about AEW hoping they would be a legit alternative but am now disappointed they decided to make a product for hardcore fans in their little circle and shun everyone else.

Oh boy you’re elite alright. Jesus.
You and the rest of their dwindling fanbase.

Yeah, you're going on ignore.
Wow how sensitive we are. Over someone pointing out AEW’s numbers. Jeez.
3 minutes ago, LoneWolf&Subs said:Could you be more obvious. Next time, when you do this post a bit to around, and then act like a prick with your alt. Now use your real account, and act like this with it.
Instead of picking fights with me why don’t you engage and discuss why AEW is already bleeding viewers and attendance a month in?

I just always assume it's either Ganc, Hoardak, EN090/Thibs, or FSW.
Actually just a long time lurker.
I do remember that Thibs did predict that exactly this would happen to AEW promoting a giant meltdown on your part.
You upset that he was right?

This is the sort of bold view that even I'm not expressing.
Well they’ve lost almost 50% of the audience that sampled them in a month and their attendance is already dropping to alarming levels.
Should we wait until they’ve lost 75% of their audience and are drawing 500 fans to express bold views?

This niche product for hardcore Marks is proving that it appeals to almost nobody outside of the the elite and their circle of friends. What a joke.
The funniest part is these hard headed idiots are gonna continue to stubbornly put on a workrate heavy show with almost no storylines as viewers continue to leave in droves.

What a giant man child you are
. A couple posts you don’t like make you uncomfortable to the point of crying like a baby and demanding a ban.
I feel sorry for whatever psychological trauma you’ve endured in your life.
