CI Wrestling Thread #56

Somebody needs to take Tony’s Twitter away.
Instead of saying that consider it a compliment and say something if you actually beat them.

I really enjoyed Rampage last night. Punk and Garcia was really good.

Give me all the crap you want but I’m enjoying Rhodes To The Top.
 
There’s a commercial on the Uk game for some wwe toy and Daniel Bryan is one of the options - think it was called wubble ball
 
Bull

SD is on FS1. Last time it was there they drew 600-700k and like a 0.27 demo. So it’s possible they could beat them but not likely.

But don’t let anyone ever say Vince and wwe isn’t concerned about AEW again after this though. Loading up the card and going over a half hour for a fs1 show, yeah.

If you aren’t squeamish feel free to check out the Gage and Moxley match from last night.

The wrestlers formerly known as the IIconics will debut for Impact at Bound For Glory.
 
I don’t get notifications for this thread anymore because I spend all my time in the football section now. Plus I’m too lazy to check here often to see who is fighting about ratings this time.
 
Rampage ratings were bad. Barely over 500k. The time slot and taping it after Dynamite is killing that show. The crowd is dead and it just feels like a show that isn’t must see like dynamite. I’ve missed 2 of the last 3 rampages and don’t feel like I missed anything.

I feel the same way. They need to move it to saturday night, 8-10. Problem solved.

I'm sure 10-11pm on Friday is a slot TNT needed to fill, and Rampage might not be killing that time slot, it's doing better than whatever TNT had there prior (does anyone even know what that was?). I don't see anyone pulling the plug any time soon. But I'll agree it doesn't look good that the ratings have been going downhill each week since Punk's debut.
 
IWA Everyone!

I don't watch because it is usually 3 matches and 2 of those 3 usually has very little substance.

Looks like WWE is going to do the extra 30 minutes of Smackdown on Friday night commercial free. So of course AEW has to do something too.

Why the hell would you put Suzuki vs DB on YOUTUBE?! That one bothers me.
This is a salvo in the competition between WWE and AEW. WWE is going half an hour over into AEW Rampage's time, so AEW is putting a pretty big match on Youtube during Smackdown's time.

You can question whether that big of a match should be on Youtube, but if you want it to be effective (draw fans away from Smackdown), you can't put a Dark-level match out there and expect it to garner viewers, you have to go big. This is what you need.

I find myself checking the Wrestle Tix page constantly now looking at ticket numbers. WWE added Roman Reigns to the Raw in Long Island at the end of November. As of yesterday WWE had sold about 3,000 seats while AEW has sold 8.000 for their show the next Wednesday.
Of course if you look at this week's Rampage and Dyamite in Miami they haven't sold many tickets.

I wish Tony would just stop talking for a while. WWE is never going to respond to him, he looks like the person always craving attention.

Wwe doesn’t directly respond like Tony. They just do their subtlety. Like leaking Rampage National viewership to certain outlets early the past few weeks while it’s gone down. There were no leaks early on when the numbers were bigger.
 
I finally got around to watching Raw this week which is the first time in a while. Have they just given up on putting out a decent product? That show was pure hot garbage.

Apparently the card for Full Gear has leaked. Someone got a picture of TK at the Jags game holding a notebook to his chest. In the notebook it said Full Gear on top with the date. Seen on the notebook:
Omega vs page
OPEN: Lucha vs FTR
Punk vs Wardlow
Mox vs Bryan
Jurassic vs Bucks
Cody vs Black OR Hobbs OR Miro
Jade vs thunder rosa
Britt vs ??
