Why has Adam Copeland been incapable of increasing AEW's ratings or ticket sales in any meaningful way?

Please discuss.

He was never over, except for when he was cool in 2006. That was nearly 20 years ago and for 10 of those years he was retired. Hasn’t had a meaningful story in 14 years.

Because he wasn’t there to draw ratings(which Christian can’t do either.)
He’s there for money/to wrestle people he never wrestled/retire with his best friend.

Ngl bruh, his feud with Orton was meant to be great if it wasn't during lockdown. Had a great story. Plus the story of his journey from injury to Rumble winner was pretty captivating.

First tell us why you think any wrestler would increase a wrestling show's ratings permanently long term, and give examples of it happening in the last 10 years.

Overexposed and now doing retarded shit after putting over Christian of all people. Copen Challenge is him wrestling dark jobbers and having competitive matches on a show nobody watches. Aewtroons spin this as Edge “being happy and doing what he wants” which may be true but that is absolutely not what aew needs from him

I think it is fair to say wrestling fans don't want to follow a wrestler outside of WWE. They didn't follow any WWE guy to AEW, or Sasha to Stardom or anything.

Didn't draw that many more viewers than you think. The biggest red flag came the week after his United Center debut when only 2k fans showed up to a 10k arena in Milwaukee for his Dynamite debut. There was a small ratings pop but overall he didn't do great. Plus he was injured or just not booked for like 75% of his run.

He did not increase their ratings long term, his debut spiked a number, and then they went back to normal. Punk could not hold Collision numbers after their debut, his main event match with MJF tanked the quarter. Punk's run at the top of AEW coincides with the decline from the previous ratings boom in 2021.

huge pop for his initial rumble return but people were quickly reminded why he truly was an anti draw

Edge was a midcarder who got pushed into the main event because Vince was desperate. He has never been a huge draw, same goes for his rat faced buddy.

This.

Most of the time he hasn't really generated long term buzzes himself. His opponents are.

This. Just like how he really hasn't changed anything for WWE a week after he was back. The same way Roman isn't on 90% of the time and ratings remain pretty much the same regardless. Individual wrestlers aren't a draw nearly as much compared to the promotion itself. Even the Rock hardly influenced Raw and Smackdown's ratings the weeks he was on. This isn't news by any means either so

He's not a needle mover, never was. To the 40+ crowd he's a comedy tag guy, to the 30-40 crowd he's sub Orton/Cena and to the under 30 he's old.

It doesn’t matter who you sign if the promotion sucks. TNA has had some of the biggest names in wrestling history on their roster throughout the years and it didn’t amount to shit.
