PrivateBiscuit1 08/02/21 8:51:08 PM #113:	Panthera posted... WWE having a global audience that AEW lacks is a point in favour of them being more relevant, not against it I mean, if they tried to expand into India with these giant YouTube numbers being the reason, then they completely and utterly failed to gather an audience when they purposefully tried to cater to them, I'd say there isn't much relevance there after all. Panthera posted... 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. I'm talking momentum. RAW and Smackdown's demo keeps going down. AEW's is still rising. Who cares more about the shows in that case? Hell, just general ratings as well. Cena came back and the ratings spiked before plummeting again. AEW has been doing their shows and they're doing consistently good numbers without needing to drag arguably the last biggest star of wrestling back. Granted, they're probably getting Punk and Danielson here, so expect ratings to rocket even more. Hard to say if they'll sustain or not, but at the very least AEW is doing far better at retaining interest and investment right now than WWE is, or else their ratings would be more consistent. Additionally, Meltzer has stated that AEW's DVR numbers were very impressive compared to WWE's. Panthera posted... 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. Hey man, go off. I'm just saying some of your criticisms seem pretty unfounded when they're directly contradicted by what's going on. --- I stream sometimes.
