Do you think they'll bounce back from this or is it downhill from here?

Can't wait to watch the self destruction of AEW. Narrated by John Cena.

true

AEW ratings are the highest they've been in a while
>unprofessional as fuck, embarrassing to Warner executives
true but Warner are happy with AEW
>even the dirtsheets are beginning to criticize now
The dirtsheets have always criticized, you just couldn't see it because you were blinded by the headcanon of Meltzer being on the payroll
>Punk possibly gone or going. Even if he stays he's injury prone, worn down and wasn't a massive draw anyway
He out sold Cena in merch, he drew the biggest audience for Rampage, he boosted PPV ticket sales. This one is objectively false.
>MJF would leave for WWE as soon as Paul matches Tony's offer
MJF is going nowhere until 2024 and even then, Tony will always be able to offer more.
>Omega and the Bucks humiliated
No big deal. Plenty of the biggest names of wrestling have been humiliated at one point or another. Cena? Taiwan. Stone Cold? Debra. Roman Reigns? Wellness Policy etc
>top people considering leaving for WWE now the old man's gone
No real truth to this.
>everyone constantly injured because of the style
It's a faster style, which leads to quick injury. Overall no more taxing on the body than working 5 shows a week in WWE doing their robotic formula of wrestling.
>girls are awful, always getting hurt
See above + WWE has Kevin Dunn to cover botches with constant camera cuts.
>good young prospects have shitters from the indys as agents. Will likely be snapped up by WWE anyway
Wat
>game looks trash
Outed yourself as a "muh graphics" entitled zoomer.

50% chance you're bitchtits and 100% chance this is a fake concern doom and gloom post that you've made several times already just reworded with the latest headcanon/scjerk flavor of the month topic.

AEW will never see a million again.

The Punk/Elite hype is gone. And the booking has been a mess. Fans are not tuning in. And ticket sales are in the gutters.
AEW is simply just too damn cold to ever succeed.

It was 10k under your number last week, all because of a hurricane. Do you realize how many actual TV viewers 10k is? It's like 3 people with a Nielsen box.

Stop wasting your time sperging over a number, either you enjoy the show or you don't. If it's total dogshit (which it was last week) ratings still don't matter. WWE had shows 10 years ago where they were pulling 4-5 million viewers and the shows were just as bad. It means nothing if you like what you are watching, albeit on an outdated TV format.

Don't waste your time trying to have a reasonable conversation with people on here unless it's with someone who clearly shows you they aren't just sticking to one side.

The media scrum with CM Punk is a perfect example of Tony Khan being a huge mark that just wants to be everyone's friend instead of their boss.
>Lets all of the wrestlers air their dirty laundry in front of the media.
>Every time someone asked him a question Punk kept interrupting him so he could continue whining and Tony did nothing but sit back and take it because he's scared of making Phil angry for some reason.

Tony’s rich or rather his dad is so that is propping up AEW despite all the goofs. It would take the network cancelling their deal or something similar to completely kill their deal.
