Panthera 08/02/21 8:39:29 PM #111:	PrivateBiscuit1 posted... If I remember correctly, Youtube views for WWE stuff is normally from other countries (and if I remember even further, their Youtube numbers from India were exclusively why they wanted to branch out there before). WWE having a global audience that AEW lacks is a point in favour of them being more relevant, not against it PrivateBiscuit1 posted... But all you need to do is look at demo ratings to see where the actual excitement is. AEW by far has more momentum going for it, and those are numbers not counting the DVR numbers, which Meltzer has said are ridiculously high. No, you don't need to look at a subset of the audience to decide which has a bigger audience and wider reach. Especially when there's a distinct tendency to pick whichever age/gender category within the 18-49 range AEW does best in and call it "the demo" (ie AEW outdid Raw in like, men 18-35 or something a week or two ago? And this became "AEW won the demo!" even though the actual demo rating was still in Raw's favour). I also really doubt AEW is the only company getting anyone to watch via DVR. PrivateBiscuit1 posted... I do think it's a bit weird to criticize it a ton here since... well, it's working? We (as in the internet wrestling community collectively here, rather than any specific members of it) have been criticizing the WWE relentlessly for decades while they have generally become more and more successful. AEW's current TV deal is supposedly 175 million over 4 years, WWE just reported quarterly revenue of 265 million. By every metric beyond personal preference for the TV show WWE is working vastly better than AEW. Which isn't even a knock on AEW, they've been about as successful as you could realistically expect, just a statement of how well the WWE is doing for itself and the position they've set themselves up to be in with decades of brand recognition and a massive content library to offer. So I'm not seeing why AEW can't be criticized in three posts (this is not exactly a ton) if we can have a 507 topic series that has probably been a good 60% WWE criticism. --- Meow! <cite>Panthera posted [p:956716707] in All-Purpos...
