Wonder when AEW will beat Raw in the ratings.

i’m not convinced it will happen on a regular basis...but i would love to see it

We’ll see. If Raw continues like this, it should happen.

i know i could be totally wrong, but my gut says there's just going to be too many WWE loyalists that no matter how bad it gets they'll still tune in enough to keep their numbers higher

i don't know that there's a signing AEW could make that would move that needle...a full time Brock could, but i don't see him going for that...Cena could, but i highly doubt he'd ever leave WWE

Your gut is at least partly right. There are a lot of WWE loyalists, that follow blindly.

AEW could start consistently beating raw in the ratings and it really wouldnt negatively impact WWE’s bottom line that much.

I still want them to run back the exploding barbed wire deathmatch, I want my goddamn explosion.

[Anders]

I laughed out loud at that. Too funny.

correct

[Anders]

They even panicked when NXT lost to AEW, and eventually moved it to Tuesdays.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

that’s just the competitive aspect though...they’re still making money hand over fist

[Anders]

And yet they fired a bunch of wrestlers twice during the pandemic.

Pray for Mojo

[Anders]

Really think he will struggle to get a good career in wrestling now.

with record revenue...they weren’t using a lot of them anyway so save even more money...not that I think any of that is the right thing to do

I’m all about them losing, trust me

[Anders]

Yes. I hope AEW keeps putting on a good product. Think they still have plenty of chances to improve as well.

[JuanHamm]

People lose their jobs all the time. Should WWE employ every mediocre wrestler for life?

how many painters have you fired this year?

WWE are earning record numbers, no other wrestling company fired anyone, and WWE let a bunch of people go just as lockdown started. Not good.

[numbers]

Especially when wwe signed these people with no intention of using them just so they wouldn’t be available to anyone else. Then they cut them lose mid contract when there are no indies running and AEW can’t just sign everyone.
