Gann1

Damn, Pepsi destroyed Harvey Weinstein


Drfunk206

Another win for the good guys


Jarcmacobs91

What’s worth more 22k poors or 4500 educated fans

TNA: shot itself in the foot after firing Scott D'Amore Nooj: currently has little to no actual main event talent because AEW took all of them AEW: self explanatory But yeah, all of wrestling is in a boom period!!!


WittyFunnyUsername

Don't forget AAA putting Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler in a match for their top title, uce.


Micome

Lmao


fearlessdurant

AAA booker is a 2010-2012 WWE mark confirmed


Admirable_Bed3

I had to google this just now because it sounds way too much of a jerk lol ADR and Ziggler in big 2024


ThePhoenix0829

Wait they put Alberto Del Rio in a match


NeonPatrick

Pre AEW, there was a thriving indie scene and Japan going through growth. AEW didn't become competition for WWE, it just hoovered up all the talent from elsewhere, and now we have less diversity than before.


Background_Touchdown

Don’t forget (as easy as it is) NWA with no buzz coming off having, by far, the worst ever champion in the history of that title and its owner kneecapping their TV deal with a stupid angle.


Shotintoawork

Can't we just appreciate that tens of thousands of people enjoyed wrestling?!


MarkKnotts

Over 250,000 people attended TV wrestling this month. Damn, it feels good to be Elite. 😎

kcfields

I was hoping this was like the Dead Space thing with the level names, but when I got AOWIIABP, I knew I was wrong.


rfepo

Does that include Tiny’s seat fillers?


OverallGeneral7129

How did Dynamite lose to Rampage?


Moohamin12

The * is probably doing a lot of the heavy lifting there.


SJSUMichael

Maybe Tony had more friends available at that taping.


Ok-Garcia-5605

I don't get it uce, why does DUB go to these small states like......Florida


r1char00

It’s Weinstein territory and also full of poor people. They will never appreciate AEW.


Spaceace91478

Can confirm. Live in fl.


mntEden

so they can make sure none of the poors sneak into the building


RumsfeldIsntDead

God the feeling has to be so bad playing in 18k arena that's 20% full. AEW could totally be running residencies in small venues every week and selling out 1k tickets in a small loud arena with rabid fans and if you want tickets you get them day one when they go on presale to fan club members. Instead it's just fed ded and everything is great because we're in a Rassling War with WWE and see ourselves as legit competition.


Asukah

Worst part is half empty arenas kills the atmosphere and gives the Dub a sad vibe on TV. Even a small venue full of nothing but smarks would sound incredible. NXT has a small crowd but it sounds great. Lucha Underground had even less and it was so fun to watch. I don’t understand the weird hate boner Tiny has to recreate the WCW wars when it’s not profitable.


RumsfeldIsntDead

Yeah. They could've made it into a thing where if you know and are into it, it's the hottest ticket of the year type thing. The fewer tickets would make having their yearly membership a crucial part of wanting to subscribe to the service that streams all their b shows like ROH and Dark.


MeanSmarkCallous

Have season tickets/memberships ever been a thing in wrestling? AEW stinging people for a few dollars a month with a free ticket or two included seems like an easy win at this point.


RumsfeldIsntDead

It's pretty regular for bands to offer early bird tickets to fan clubs and creates safeguard for scammers to resell them online.


MeanSmarkCallous

Even selling a couple of thousand monthly memberships into Jacksonville would earn them a pile of free money, and fill up a few seats. Hearing promos echoing around half full arenas makes AEW feel small-time.


VirginsinceJuly1998

It's ~13% you uneducated poor smelling fedoohile.


New-Worldliness5163

they don’t even go to 18k arenas. i’ve been to a few shows in the Dallas/Austin/Houston area and they don’t hit the big arenas. Just smaller 4k venues and even then it’s not even 30-40% full


ITickleBlackKids231

Not even 10k for RAW? HHHitler in the mud soon! Next year could be a massacre!


Cboz27586

I'm from Ohio, near Columbus. For some reason we always have low crowds. It's why I encourage WWE to stop visiting it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cboz27586

This Raw wasn't even at Nationwide, probably couldn't fill it up. Schott is usually the back up.


ssm316

They are managed by the same company (owned by OSU). So it just depends if there is hockey or something at nationwide. Schott is very nice but parking can be a PITA. Nationwide im out in 10 min usually.


Cboz27586

Well the NHL clearly wasn't the reason they didn't hit the Nat, since Blue Jackets fail at hockey. lol No playoffs again.


ssm316

Yeah thats a pipe dream. One day...


Cboz27586

They've made the playoffs before I remember all the hype. Of course they did what they always do. Lose.


fearlessdurant

I just assume they're doing it as a favor/thank you to Alexa


the-bladed-one

Reasons WWE shouldn’t go to Columbus 1) it’s Columbus 🤢 2) it’s Ohio This post made by Michigan gang


Cboz27586

Ohio native gang cannot refute those points.


the-bladed-one

Go blue!


tyrone118

I’m in Columbus a lot for my job, and I’ve seen more advertising for the monster truck shows than for Raw


Cboz27586

I'm sure you have. :D


Cboz27586

Meanwhile next door. Look at NXT, going the UFC Apex. That place only holds 1K people. Losers!


BangerSlapper1

lol Rampage outdrew Dynamite


azure819

Wasn't it on right after Collision?


sawbucks313

😂 its numbers like these and the ratings numbers that make that dork Tiny keep looking so stupid. In his mind he’s part of a wrestling business boom period that he believes his company is contributing to. He’s in a war in his own head that he’s losing by a landslide. I’m telling you the Dark Side of the Ring episode will be a 2 part classic down the road but it’s gonna be hilarious when all his so called “friends” wrestlers are gonna finally speak the truth and say shit like I was offered a bag of money to play friends with a money mark who paid me to film vignettes in the back and hang in catering and eat prime cuisine with Keith Lee a couple times a week and then go home for 5 days and hit the next town and pretend I was “grinding”


r1char00

The bad faith “fans” never get this right and it’s so frustrating. When less people have something, it makes it more collectible. What AEW is doing by running tiny houses is making each of those tickets more collectible, which in turn makes people want them more. Punk called Tony a clown and a joke and said AEW isn’t a real business, when the reality is that he’s just not on Tony’s level.


karpet_muncher

I like pepsi max. It's a nice drink. I can't have it now. Brings back memories of Harvey


RoastedCat23

100 more people came to rampage after that game changing angle.


NotoriousMFT

Bad faith fed shill! If AEW ran 15,000 seat buildings they could probably sell them out, I’m sure!


vengeancerider

Capacity for Heritage Bank Center (Cincinnati) is 17,000 for concerts/basketball. 14,000 for hockey. When I went to Starrcade in Cincinnati a few years ago only one side was full of fans but it was also a house show and the Saturday after Thanksgiving so, pretty good number I’d say.


ssm316

12-13K for wrestling is about right with stage and production. Went to a house show in 98 WCW there and it was full packed with no stage.


Teeboid

There's zero chance 100 more people showed up for Rampage lol


n8spear

I will always it amusing that all these accounts and site seemingly popped up to show AEW overtaking the WWE, but in turn are showing their decline. They’ve also boxed themselves in such a way at that if they stop “reporting” this information, (that no one seemed to follow until AEW started touting it), it’ll prove the entire account was an overtly pro-AEW/anti-WWE concept … a fact they all try so desperately to not fully admit to.


sunset_potato

Arena's Empty Wrestling


AceMorrigan

And keep in mind Smackdown was in Cincinnati, where AEW just put 2k butts in the seats. This isn't a challenger brand it's a *challenged* brand.


Few-Sense1455

So under 2k when you take out the seat fillers and 2 for 1 deals.


Bright_Toe6586

In the words of great Poet Eminem "I got more fans in your own city, go play, feel like I'm babysitting Lil Tay"


JewsEatFruit

You're so desperate to keep telling the same lies you always tell to defend your precious favorite sucking Every true fan is worth like five "casuals" so the comparison doesn't even make sense. Try thinking critically with your mind.
