>>16005037>The thing is that rankings never really meant much to Meltzer, AlvarezThe same people pretty much and of course not since that doesn't draw them headlines or create rage bait or can be nearly as sensationalized. A ranking is a ranking. It tells you what it is. The ratings are just a number that they can, have, and continue to put their own spin on to frame in the context of what they want people to feel. I still don't understand how people get worked by that shit still. There's a reason Dave shoots down other metrics like social media numbers and youtube views. Because he can't spin those. This goes for all dirtsheets and podcast grifters too. Whether it's AEW or WWE too. It's all bullshit
>until AEW came aroundWell I mean yeah. Because it was just WWE before then. No average fan or even smark talked about or even knew what ratings WWE was getting across the last 20 years before AEW came along. They're not going to sell WWE's bullshit left Twix, right Twix, Raw vs Smackdown self-competition thing
