i saw something about the primary demo, where they were much stronger last week than the raw viewership told the story on, being much more significantly down, which is worrying. i'd expect a small drop in viewers after the first episode, but a large drop in the main demo isn't a great sign.

Thye should bring back the "Main Roster act shows up on NXT" gimmick they did way back in 2013 to try to bump back up the ratings. One week have Charlotte competing against one of the women lower in the division (you could have her against Shirai/Shanya/Lerae I guess, but that should be saved for the main roster), or the New Day against one of the established tag teams, or even just a Elias promo interrupted by one of the NXT roster. If you kept bringing in some of the bigger acts 1 episode at a time, it could help increase interest for those who would watch RAW/Smackdown but normally wouldn't watch NXT.

Of course, they could try and do this with the likes of EC3, Bo Dallas or the Ascension, but almost noone would tune in for those guys.

Yeah I'm not too surprised about that NXT drop! Gotta think a lot of people who would've been interested were immediately alienated by the format not giving you any sort of introduction to any of the new talent which makes it all come off as kinda low rent imo. Figure it'll probably keep dropping for a few weeks and eventually level off as you hit a point where most people still watching at that point either are familiar with NXT already or have been hooked by the style by watching a few weeks. Then if it's actually something people want to see it might actually start going up, but I feel like a properly run AEW will probably siphon off a lot of those people too as I feel it won't (and really, can't, due to a lack of shows) make the mistake of assuming all interested parties have already seen the product so I dunno it could get ugly for NXT!

The funny thing is NXT running on Wednesday with a soft serve attempt at holding people might be the worst thing WWE could have done if they wanted to avoid AEW gaining traction. Like if you start training people to look for wrestling on Wednesday and don't hold their interest, where do you think they're going to look, ya know?

WWEs perspective though is that their product is superior so all you have to do is put something on and thats enough

At this point, Rollins has demonstrated a really terrible Twitter game, and this sadly makes it so much easier to dunk on him for every perceived opening or weakness. This Tweet plays better if Seth has more credibility and hasn't been going to bat for bad WWE angles.

It's not the message it's the delivery. It's just too much. Like I don't buy he's actually excited it's the corporate speak version of acting excited.

That said, I haven't watched much in awhile. Does Sasha randomly tweeting "Thanks @vincemcmahon" mean anything like, story-wise? I just assumed she's trying to get fired but doesn't really have the balls to do anything more, but it occurred to me it might have some kind of story merit.

You pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to social media consultants. We shouldn't handwave the nature of social media in defense of a company that pretty much TOUTS it as its #1 product.

I'm not defending anything.

Twitter, at it's very core, is hot garbage and most people cannot use it in any practical or entertaining way. Paying a bunch of money to "consultants" can't fix that.
