I know he’s toeing the company line, but SummerSlam was a C+ at best. We didn’t need 4 hours, the Goldberg match was crap, the Bliss match didn’t need to be on the card and nothing really wowed me as must see.
I guarantee the 1998 Highway to Hell SummerSlam grossed more if you add ticket sales, PPV buys and merch.
I agree with you here. Booker’s comments spoken like a true company man.
Fans would’ve been disappointed if Punk didn’t throw some shade at WWE. I remember the Monday Night Wars when WCW used to take shots at “New York” while WWF guys fired off jabs at “Dubya Sea Dubya”
That’s what we wanted to see.
Don't forget Scheme Gene, The Huckster and Nacho Man.
Looks like AEW is getting preempted twice in October for NHL Hockey on TNT, October 13th and 20th. They've already announced they will air on the 23rd.

Yeah I saw Jericho say something about the Saturday show being on his cruise. He mentioned there would be talent other than AEW there and would give info later.
Sean Ross Sapp, I believe he’s the main editor at fightful which is a huge website that breaks wrestling news. It’s subscriber based. I usually watch their post show YouTube live videos.
What ever happened to Braun Strowman?
He should have been champ, his heat was unreal and the last Tshirt I bought at WM in New Orleans.

TV ratings now and TV ratings in the 80s and 90s are much different. For one most people don’t have a cable service provider now. The majority of young people don’t own TVs and the ones who do only stream. So 1.5 million on a given night is extremely good and what WWE does on Friday nights it’s even better. Nearly 1/3 of the country were cable tv subscribers 5 years ago and that number has been cut in half. I don’t really understand why people pay attention to tv ratings if I’m being honest.
that shows me he really isn’t interested in doing wrestling anymore
He will be back eventually when Vince decides to stop penny pinching.
Was bored when doing some Cornette art and turned on Little Shop of horrors…
Tony Khan = Rick Moranis

I’m trying to comprehend this - so if raw does 2 million that’s equivalent to 6 million in the attitude era days?
I’ll tell you why I pay attention, is because I know when a show is doing number the commercial ads will start paying more for those slots, and when that happens more money flows to the company allowing them to then put more into their product.
That’s a huge point for AEW in competing with WWE. Once that happens it actually allows them to compete on a close to same playing field.

Don't you think he should be?
You can say no, or you can put out a preposterous number and see if anyone bites. I'm a fan of the latter approach, because PT Barnum was right.
Dynamite Preview For Tonight
CM Punk makes his debut on Dynamite
Brock Anderson vs. Malakai Black.
AEW Tag Team Eliminator Tournament: The Lucha Brothers vs. The Varsity Blondes.
Orange Cassidy vs. Matt Hardy.
Chris Jericho will address his future.
The Gunn Club vs. The Factory with Paul Wight as the special guest commentator.
The Wingmen vs. Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston & Darby Allin.
Jaimie Hayter vs. Red Velvet.
Saw a report the Dynamite after All Out in Cinncy had already sold between 7,000- 8,000 tickets. Think the arena will hold about 10,000 so it could sell out.

I know for sure I don’t watch commercials - my dvr has a skip ahead feature that fast fwd thru commercials and resumes when the program starts again
Yeah that's what I was thinking and they just added the Jericho thing and the six man last night.
Likewise sir - but idk if that’s the barometer like it used to be - wwe has tv deals and network subs
I have heard guys say they can't take off to be with their families very long because when they come back their spot may be taken. That must suck as a father or mother in the business.
I can’t see Hangman losing his spot. That dude is over as hell! Plus with AEW and no house shows, less traveling he can be home more
I wasn't necessarily referring to him just that I have heard others say that over the years.
Yes that is true. Just last week I was listening to Lance Storm talk about that. He was on a tour of Japan when his first child was born. He said he didn't even consider asking off to go back to Canada because he was worried he wouldn't have a spot on the next tour.
Sorry I didn’t see your response…I have you on ignore. Try to keep up because I don’t who this wrestling writer ok? Ok.
and it’s honestly none of your ****ing business why I post here. This isn’t a current wrestling thread…I talk old wrestling with a few folks on here, so piss off.
No offense, but another ignore…but hey, feel free to see what I’ve posted in this thread and there’s your answer. Later
I’m hurt! What would this thread be without you having some of us on ignore?
I never did like his anti virus.
I thought it slowed my computer down, but maybe I was just imagining it.
