What's weird is some fans treat these promotions like they are sports teams and they have to choose one side to root for.

The first thing I saw Japanese related Tweeted out in regards to the Sami/Reigns stuff was a story with Bullet Club - during the Omega, Cody, Bucks, Hangman, and Marty Scurll era of the group - that actually is fairly similar.
Kind of hard to fake a chop too, as evidenced by all the blood-red chests - or even actually legit bleeding chests - in matches with a lot of chops
No offense, but there’s literally no difference than fans choosing a promotion to cheer/boo and you choosing to cheer Kentucky and boo (insert Louisville, Duke, Carolina, whatever college team) or Cheering your fav NFL team and booing the rival.
No difference whatsoever.
No, that would be the the same as cheering and booing the wrestlers.
The equivalent would be NBA vs CBB fans.

Meh seriously who cares - everyone on here is stuck in their ways let’s just all enjoy some banter and everyone’s perspective whether they agree or disagree with their view!
We are going to cheer for our whichever sports teams we love, no matter what. Watching wrestling should be like watching good television shows, they are on for our enjoyment no matter which promotion we like the best. The fans win when every promotion is good.

Another fun Wednesday night show. Darby and Joe was a heck of a brawl.
It's being reported Cinnamon Toast Crunch is sponsoring a match at Wrestlemania this year.
Can only hope it will be better than the Pitch Black one.
Dynamite saw a drop in the ratings this week.
901,000 viewers and a .31 in the demo- Second behind the early NBA game, but beat the second game.

The NBA games were down massively from last week. The 7 pm game barely drew a million. Broadcast networks were down too for the most part. Guess people just said **** TV last night.
And WWE is going to have Uncle Howdy dress up as the Cinnamon Toast Crunch man and make him face Bray in some stupid gimmick infomercial match.
Compared to last week, the first NBA game saw a 29% decrease in total viewership and the second one a 49% decrease.
IF Dynamite would have had a 49% drop, they would have pulled a Rampage number
What?
I was shocked at how bad those NBA numbers were. There's no way a 0.31 should be second and barely over a million be first when a major league is in play . I know the games weren't competitive but damn. That's one of, if not the worst, Wednesday night performances I have ever seen from the NBA.
That's not even a good Dynamite number and it beat an NBA game by nearly 50k in total viewership.
Supposedly Cena might show up at WM in some type of open challenge for the US title, No thank you. Especially if it's to put Theory over. Can't stand him in anyway shape or form. Sucks on the mic, entrance music sucks, and his matches are not entertaining.
If you’re studying week to week viewership of multiple programs to justify why less people watched you’re favorite wrestling program one week you’re an absolute loser.
And that’s coming from someone currently posting on a message board about wrestling.

lol at this coming from a guy who watches Slap Fight. Embarrassing

Some thoughts..... * JT Tilley really brings a level of respectability to the sport that was missing in the earlier days. He's a true ambassador for the sport and a consummate professional. * Every major sport, including Slap Fighting, needs a heel, but Rocky takes it too far. The constant...

She doesn’t do fully nude so I don’t give a shit. I’ve seen her almost nipples and almost twat a thousand times.
Sad because top to bottom it was a solid show. I was even impressed with Jade vs. Red Velvet, particularly when she walked up the steps to the ring while holding Red Velvet over her head. Can't remember ever seeing that before.
AEW ratings rarely make a damn bit of sense. Cards where you know in advance the show is going to be pretty mid, like last week other than the main event (and that main event didn't pop a big number by any means), and they post some good numbers. This week you knew based on the card the show was going to be pretty good and it loses 10% of its viewership from last week.
About the only thing you can bank on every single week is that the women are going to lose viewers in the quarter hours.
Jade's best two matches might be her last two matches against Red Velvet and Skye Blue
Dynamite's been on a hell of a run post-Full Gear

"I don't want to but it's hard not to" is the type of phrasing you use when you're ashamed to admit you do something.
Meh seriously dynamite has been in basically the same range since it’s inception
It has most definitely not been this good for this long for quite a long time.
New Japan officially announced Ibushi is no longer with the company and his contract expired 1/31 - what a bizarre last few months between those two.
I don't understand how last weeks Dynamite did the number it did and then this week it dropped with a better card.....so odd.
I've given up trying to find a pattern with Dynamite's ratings.
WWE programming doesn't seem to fluctuate that wildly from week to week.
Ibushi is supposed to wrestle "Speedball" Mike Bailey at a GCW show Wrestlemania weekend. Bailey's been tearing it up with Impact.
Then there's this...

Yep. I wasn't there but if a tribute show was going to happen, I'm glad it happened in KY. It was memorable, a good showing by fans there, and ratings were impressive. We'll never get AEW here as much as Chicago but it'd be nice to see a bigtime promotion do two or three televised shows here yearly.
