Haven't really watched AEW these last few weeks, is this true?

Pretty much.
They have Swerve getting his ass kicked all the time or getting wins over some mid-card nobody.
I guess in TK's Adderall-ridden mind this is supposed to be Swerve having all the odds stacked against him so a victory means more but this just makes him a punching bag and makes him look weak.
They've botched this title run already, even the AEW stans have to admit that.
I don't want to hear nothing about how AEW is "so inclusive" and treats their Black talent better than WWE.

And in other news, AEW Dynamite ratings continue to drop :smh:
Yes, NBA playoffs, hockey, the all-night gas station that just opened up down the street, yadda yadda yadda....
Did the NBA playoffs and hockey not exist until this year?
How come the ratings weren't this low in the past years against the same competition?

It would be interesting to see their financials, but i wonder at what point Triple H gets tired of this little bug and decides to buy them out..

I can only think that they are trying to do the same thing with him that the WWE did with Cody Rhodes...trying to get more fans behind him "hero in peril"? :dunno:

I've legit given up on the Swerve title run.....at this point, it is what it is....The start stop shit with Hobbs before he got injured, the same with Keith Lee, the handling of Swerve as champion.....fuck....

AEW is not putting any dent into WWE's business so there would be no point in buying them out, plus TK would be too stubborn/proud to ever sell AEW to WWE.
BTW, Smackdown tonight is in Jacksonville (AEW country) and it would be funny if Triple H did an updated invasion angle of AEW HQs like he did with DX on WCW back in the day. LOL

I know what they're trying to do, but they're doing a terrible job at the execution.
Big difference between Swerve and Cody right now is that AEW's bad booking cooled Swerve off right before he won the championship as opposed to Cody who was the clear fan favorite (so much so that WWE changed the WM main even on the fly) before he won the championship.

Not going to happen. Doing so would legitimize AEW as a competitor promotion. When DX did it, they clowned WCW for holding their friends as hostages.

AEW has WWE's castoffs.

Seems that WWEs strategy with AEW is to just pretend they don't exist, mostly because I'm the grand scheme of things they don't, WWE is a worldwide brand with generations of success, AEW has yet to turn a profit.
WWE has superstars that are recognized across the globe, AEW has Indy mid show rejects and the WWE leftovers. WWE would only be doing AEW a favor by doing any kind of angle that would involve them, they do NXT numbers lmao

Yep. AEW is an indie promotion with a TV deal.

Man if ya'll hate it so much stop fucking watching it. This shit has become the AEW Hit Squad thread. WWE everything right AEW everything wrong. Stop watching it if you hate it so gottdamn much. I watch both shows and neither is perfect, but the bias shown here for a company that's been around for decades and one that's still in its infancy is nuts. Enjoy wrestling.

I'm not too concerned about it as I said last month the ratings are going to be down across the boatd around this time of year. Raw, SmackDown, NXT, Dynamite are ALL down. I think Raw did 1.5 million this past Monday. They were doing 2 million two months ago. Once the playoffs are over the ratings will trend back up.

I respect an Ock but this shit is borderline abuse
It really is no different than how we (on the board) clowned DC/WB for years of incompetence with the way they handled their comic book movies versus the way Marvel/Disney handled the MCU.

I love wrestling the way I love and watch comic book films. Even the bad ones, though some properties I didn't watch (Birds of Prey movie, the Ant-Man films).

I grew up loving the DC comic book universe, but am always open to clown them for the way they handled their cinematic universe.

We clown WWE occasionally but I will absolutely clown AEW more because they have given us more ammunition to do so.

AEW doesn't always have the best storylines but their matches are great. A botch here and there but that happens in all companies. But for a company this young they're doing a good job. Just remember how shitty things were with just WWE out there.

AEW's best storylines are the ones that happen behind the scenes being played out on social media by former talent, their own current talent and their owner lolz.

Yeah, when WWE was the only game in town things were bad, however AEW came out the gate aiming for WWE. If you cannot find how funny it is that they have fallen on their face mores times than not, I dunno.

For the record, I don't want to see AEW cease to exist, I'm just enjoying the clown age they get because of poor management and stories.

Grab the top 10 ROH stars (not under long term deals) and top 10 AEW stars (not under long term deals) and collect the AEW/ROH trademarks, video collection for $2 million or less

Overall, it was another good action packed show!!...

- The Willow/Mercedes segment came off well. If Mercedes is taking table bumps, I guess she's cleared to go. She'll turn full heel and beat Willow with help from either Kamille or Megan Bayne as her enforcer.

- Loving the Elite. This is the best work Jack Perry has done in his whole career. Okada has been fantastic, and The Bucks are doing their thing. They do need to ramp up things even more.

- Swerve/Cage match was good and the Swerve/Christian storyline is starting to cook.

- Toni Storm continues to do excellent character work.

- Looks like they're teasing a Takeshita/Moxley IWGP Title match for "Double Or Nothing".

- "Deathwish" Darby returning was wild.

- House Of Black/ Adam Copeland storyline heating up. Need more of that type of violence out of HOB.

- Jericho brings the show down.

- Hook will always look like a dork.

- No Mina tonight but I was asking for too much.

It was good show this week!!...I hate my man Eddie Kingston got hurt but good to see Darby Alin came back and going to take his spot at the ppv!!


Damn Darby tough as shit!!... :lol:
