It's pretty wild when you see it like this. CW's ratings haven't moved too much. Sometimes they're higher than this, sometimes they're lower, but that rating is about par for the course for NXT still today. AEW has fucking plummeted.

That was 5 years ago when NXT was still counter-programming AEW. NXT isn't competing anymore because it ran away after getting destroyed.

Cable is dying and AEW's ratings are a function of who has cable rather than how exciting their shows are.

WWE is constantly selling out shows despite record high ticket prices. I guess AEW fans are just poor and stupid if they can't afford to go to shows.

They really haven't changed, you just shift the goalposters because you want to see a decline that doesn't exist.

Not on cable. AEW's cable deal caused NXT to move onto cable to counter-program them. Why are you pretending this isn't what happened? Why are you pretending WWE didn't move it intentionally to kill AEW?

Triple H is not in charge of those decisions, Nick Khan at the time was, and yes, they did. And they failed too. I find it funny you are pretending that didn't happen.

No they fucking absolutely did not do that. When Dynamite started it was under 5k after the first month and stayed there until covid then when they went back on the road they had an uptick and then it went back down and now it's in that same spot.

Not on cable. NXT wasn't "counter-programming" anyone because it was a pre-taped show on the WWE network. We are talking about them pre-empting AEW's move onto TNT with their cable deal that was created specifically to counter-program and harm AEW (which failed).

You are either pretending to not understand the fact NXT was never on cable originally, or else you are genuinely so retarded that you don't see a difference between a pre-taped Wednesday show on a private streaming service (WWE Network) and a live to air cable Wednesday show which is what NXT scrambled to become once they heard about AEW's TNT deal.

You don't find it the tiniest bit odd that faggot Bethel didn't even attempt to also give a fake number for Collision? He makes up 500k for Dynamite, +/- 10-20% every week, but apparently his "source" gave him zero information on Collision - and you dumbshits swallow it up without questioning anything.

AEW's lifeline was cable viewers, so WWE rushed to counter-program them on cable in order to suffocate them. Why do you pretend this never happened? I genuinely don't understand.
