[43 / 4 / 28]
From the August 20th WOR.>8:12 - “Let’s face it: A year ago right now, they were on the verge of beating RAW. And they did a few weeks in September, and their house show business in Q4 beat WWE’s, so they were in the hunt and it was very exciting to see this 2 year old company beating a company that’s 13 times as big. And now, the way the trajectory is going, it was like “oh, these guys are rising and WWE is falling every year,” and then it stopped. And now the situation is reversed. It’s AEW that’s falling and WWE that’s really doing great.” >9:36 - “They were never at the level WCW was, it was way more popular, but they were on the rise. And they were being competitive, and they didn’t need Hulk Hogan and all those guys to do it. And then things happened and WWE went up, and when that happened with WCW, we saw WCW just frickin’ collapse.” >12:00 (about Paul Boesch in a promotional war) - “His side was the side that had bigger name wrestlers. And no matter how good the matches the other guys were having, they would just blow them away as far as the show went, but they outdrew them constantly because they had bigger names to the public. And no matter how good their matches were, they couldn’t catch up.” > 27:57 - “The USA network will completely collapse if they lose RAW, so the value of RAW to USA is very, very high. And there’s other people that want RAW. Everybody wants RAW. WWE is a very valuable franchise right now, they’re gonna get a big, big increase in rights fees when that deal comes up, and they’ll be far more profitable.”

And yet the E-piggies call AEW fans Meltzer marks when this dude is huffing Triple H facts badly right now.

>>6905086 Meltzer was a mark for AEW when they were on the upswing and got interview after interview with Tony Khan. Now that AEW is floundering and Tony won't return Dave's calls he can now speak freely without having to worry about not getting an exclusive interview since he's not getting them anyway. Bryan Alvarez on the other hand is the biggest mark for AEW it's not even considered journalism. He's just a fluff piece for AEW

>>6905070 Let’s start with they didn’t beat raw. In certain demos during football season (one week 12-34 males, etc.) they certainly did. At no time on normal schedule did Dynamite ever beat Raw in total viewership or overall 18-49. It was not close.
Dave is delusional.

WCW for most of 1999 (and 1996/97/98) had PPV numbers way higher than AEW, much less total viewers and 18-49. I think he has dementia.

Dave has no basis for his manic positivity last year, but similarly has no basis for his doom this year. All indications are that Warner are high on AEW, they consistently do great numbers for Wednesday nights compared to what they usually have. Dave frankly doesn't seem to have a clue anymore about the TV Business. Dave's autism is generally taking over too much now, it was last year and is still now. Only really sticking around for Bryan and Vinny stuff now.

Keller speaks with TK more than anyone. Fuck even Bryan Alverez seems to have more links than Meltzer these days, and Bryan has fucking shit most of the time.

>>6905317 100%. I’ve always said Alvarez was a thousand times worse than Meltzer ever was with being biased. Does Meltzer have his blind spots? Absolutely, but I distinctly remember Alvarez going apeshit on Dave for grading WWE on a curve. Everything people criticize Meltzer for is 100% more applicable to Alvarez.2
