AEW/ROH Finances, Ratings, etc.

I got shamed in a group chat on the weekend for not knowing who the Impractical Jokers were, after they were used in a meme about Kirk Cousins. So they are definitely out there

I've only heard them mentioned on Dynamite. Maybe it was when one of the wrestlers was featured on their episode, or something? But through AEW, I am familiar with the name.

I know Impractical Jokers, but I have no idea what the fuck a Kirk Cousins is.

[elizium]

For your own sake, keep it that way

Well deserved.

When I was last in the hospital I chose an endless marathon of South Park over something like Impractical Jokers.

AEW did 901K/0.31, beat the late NBA game for second place on the night. First was NBA at 0.34.

two segments increased the numbers from the last segment: Danielson/Rush and a margin of error-ish 1K increase for Acclaimed/Gunns

the night: start at 1.049m, -49k, -59k, -72k, an increase, -75k, -69k, and then the main event.

so take your pick on who gets blamed for the 3 largest drops happening during JAS/Starks (plus bonus MJF), and both parts of Elite vs Fox/Top Flight.

One thing Khan did say in the last 24 hours or so is that the Bloomberg Businessweek article that came out last week has led to a spur of interest from sponsors/business partners, etc. So we'll see if we get a Pitch Black match in AEW too.

Dude, you joke, but I'd take it over 'All-Atlantic' any day of the week

[southofheavy]

How about a Dr. Pepper Torneo Cibernetico? 

[S.K.o.S.]

Remember, we already had the Cracker Barrel Clash. I was surprised AEW haters weren't bringing that up more often in the leadup to the Pitch Black match.

Darby did a coffin drop with a barrel. Nobody could hate that.

Not sure which thread is most proper for this (not seeing a current Navel-Gazer) but I just had one of the most frustrating conversations I've ever had with another fan:

Im at the store just now getting a coffee and sandwich, and the kid behind the counter is like 'Man I can't even read the bottom of your shirt, but from the skull and the pink, is that Bret 'The Hitman' Hart?' - we get to chatting a bit, and my man gets to the inevitable 'Ah, I miss those days - haven't watched WWE in forever, man, what about you?' - 'Been a few years since I fell off, more of an AEW guy now.' His response flabbergasted me:

'Nah, bro... Like... I dunno... If I don't watch WWE, how am I gonna watch AEW, y'know what I mean?' 

'Not really.'

'Like, I dunno, man, like... It's like watching the (Brooklyn) Cyclones without being a Mets fan'

No wonder they spent a billion dollars on LED screens and those sweet new Smackdown graphics

Do you think he was mistaking AEW for NXT?

[odessasteps]

So, to clarify, were you wearing a Bret Hart shirt or something else (like an Owen shirt)?
