>>12667256They got on TV initially through Tony's friend. Rampage and BOTB was during the period Dynamite was drawing over 1 million viewers a week. Back then Rampage averaging something like 800k viewers, and is now doing less than half that 2 years later. Collision was essentially created to facilitate Tony's fuck up and have Punk draw for that show, who is now gone.
>>12667295>Post initial debut spike it, like most shows, fell down and has since raised itself up from the initial figures, which were good enough that WBD gave them a better deal at the start of 2020And here they are drawing a pathetic 800k a week for Dynamite.
>>Cody was a meme in AEW and is enjoyable for lots of people in WWE without his retarded excess, Jade was a good look but otherwise kinda a meme, Punk was a psycho whose injuries and drama put a damper in AEW's momentumCody an AEW executive gone. Jade the closest thing to AEW's Goldberg of the women's division gone. CM Punk AEW's biggest ever star gone. Thanks for acknowledging how he caused AEW drama because Tony's a pussy.
>MJF isn't leaving lmao he loves the creative freedomCope. He'd be retarded to stay for 'creative freedom'. Only chance he stays is if Tony counteroffers WWE with ridiculous money.
>videogamesHow many years and money did they waste on that? Why didn't it bring more eyes to AEW?
>Punk effectively had to be let go after Tony bent over backwards to keep himBecause again Tony Khan is a pussy who can't manage wrestlers
>TDSYeah Tony's pretty deranged I agree
