But it's not their developmental anymore, Becky was "literally" advertised prior to the show. You can fanboy all you want, but it was a hollow victory.It's their developmental brand lol.
Literally the only "Main Show Stars" advertised were The Revival and I don't even know why they are as a regular RAW viewer.
It's NXT. Most WWE fans don't care to watch NXT. I've been watching WWE since I was 10 and I literally never felt any urge to watch their developmental brand.
but they didnt losei still find it funny that JR was trying to throw shots at seth because he isn't over as Becky yet she is the reason AEW lost this week
Becky is really the biggest draw in wrestling
Pulling in those 50+ viewers in drovesi still find it funny that JR was trying to throw shots at seth because he isn't over as Becky yet she is the reason AEW lost this week

Last week's Dynamite was the immediate follow up to the Full Gear PPV. Drop off this week made sense.Week 1: AEW had 518k more viewers
Week 2: AEW had 350k more viewers
Week 3: AEW had 302k more viewers
Week 4: AEW had 265k more viewers
Week 5: AEW had 179k more viewers
Week 6: AEW had 9k more viewers
Week 7: AEW had 207k more viewers
Week 8: NXT had 23k more viewers
AEW down 6% from last week (Last week 957,000)
NXT up 22% from last week (Last week 750,000)
to fuel the flames a bit
Yes by about 13 minutes

7 weeks with tony khan or 7 weeks with the elite?
Some of y'all with some revisionism on Monday Night Wars shit. The absolute best part was having TWO options so you could flip between them and see who was pushing who.
I'm totally checked out on WWE but two shows hovering right around 1 million is good and is jsut going to keep pushing each other.
This thread is cringeworthy as hell. I've found NXT to be the better product so I'm regularly watching that live but I'm glad both shows seem to be doing relatively well.
Pretty much this at the end of the dayAEW has had a pretty steady base just under a million viewers, which is fantastic for a new promotion. Who cares if NXT beats it once and a while.

Do we know that though?
So the whole game is to see if AEW can shake the wresting world by beating WWE, but it's cheating if WWE puts its biggest stars in the game ?
The truth is AEW is competing against the nichest of niche wwe wrestling shows. There is no test there it's a trap.
AEW's progression is important, but the little fight against NXT is basically a way for WWE to maintain them in the pawn game.
Don't act above being a fan. Rooting for your team is fine. Shiting on wwe is even better. But firing up six devices to stream and then tweeting about it is pure cringe.
AEW couldn't exactly stop WWE from choosing to put NXT live on USA Wednesday night for the explicit purpose to directly compete with Dynamite.So the whole game is to see if AEW can shake the wresting world by beating WWE, but it's cheating if WWE puts its biggest stars in the game ?

Calling things cringe is cringe.being a wrestling fan in 2019 is pretty cringe but we all do it anyway
it's part of life
at least we all hate ROH
Actually, what's funny is that literally all of NXT is not a draw in their own youth demo. Jericho is the one who out draws them all.Its criminal a show like AEW last night didnt get 1.0 minimun, it was fantastic.
Still, its really funny that Le Champion is not a draw in his own demo lmao.
AEW never wanted to directly compete with WWE (and they've said its crazy to try to before), they wanted to be the alternative with their own night to carve out a niche.So the whole game is to see if AEW can shake the wresting world by beating WWE, but it's cheating if WWE puts its biggest stars in the game ?

In the end, this new "wrestling war" is likely pulling in more viewers for both shows. It's not inherently bad for them to go at each other.
True.I don't think the wrestling war is doing much for AEW in either direction. From what we've seen, the crossover is there, but small, and the demographics are overall quite different. It matters in the sense that the overlap decides who "wins" on close weeks, but I really disagree that it's relevant to AEW's longterm growth.
AEW's long term success is going to be contingent on whether they can create new wrestling fans, not draw from WWE existing base.
There is no future only today brother!I can't believe WWE has exhausted the for-years-fantasy-booked NXT invasion angle, which one day could have been epic and on one solitary unplanned show was a lot of fun, just to win the Wednesday ratings one week by 20k, while still losing in every demo that matters.
Fucking desperate.
They are in a war with themselves.
"This is a marathon, not a one-night sprint."
Will there be a Wrestlemania 50?
WrestleMania 50 is going to be headlined by 49 year old Roman Reigns vs Cyborg LesnarWill there be a Wrestlemania 50?
I think I will be dead by then. Vince won't though.
1 Week with Paul Levesqueguys what is a better name for a future podcast
7 weeks with tony khan or 7 weeks with the elite?
Jericho's only 49, so he's still too young to be considered part of WWE's demo.Still, its really funny that Le Champion is not a draw in his own demo lmao.
It's their developmental brand lol.
Literally the only "Main Show Stars" advertised were The Revival and I don't even know why they are as a regular RAW viewer.
It's NXT. Most WWE fans don't care to watch NXT. I've been watching WWE since I was 10 and I literally never felt any urge to watch their developmental brand.
They do an overrun every week
NXT deserves to be on par with Dynamite tbh. They're both great shows, NXT usually has better quality matches but Dynamite seems to be the better paced show. Wednesday night is a great time to be a wrestling fan.
