Original Spongebob episodes (a cartoon) have pulled in between 1.3 and 2.2 million viewers. AEW can't even reach a million with original programming every single week.
If you follow the thread, an AEWtist defended their failing ratings by saying all prowrestling is made for children - a rebuttal to the anon that said, "
>>5540647"
What it boils down to is that if AEW is a children's show, why can't they get a milly? But if you dig deeper, it's really about the original statement:
>Sometimes having principles is more important than being a mark.True E-Chads don't watch AEW. Never have, never will. But all aewtists still watch WWE religiously. That divide will never not piss trannies off.
>tl;dr - WWE fans have principles and AEW fans do not and that's why they'll never overtake WWE in the ratings for as long as we live.
