"Some are saying our company is better than the minor leagues of the guys" is not exactly the kind of selling point you should be pushing out there. If AEW can't even pretend their show is actually a big deal, why should anyone believe it is? They're just hoping to seem cool for directly referencing WWE in their commercial rather than actually trying to advertise themselves as something special.

Full TNA has nothing to do with sniping at WWE! WCW did it successfully for a while, and WWF did it successfully for a while too, both of them in second place.

Full TNA really is just running a company that has AJ Styles and Samoa Joe in it and not having them main event in meaningful feud- oh wait

and you can think what you want about what i'd be saying if the shoe was on the other foot, but ratings have always been viewed as the ranking in the 18-49 demo. total viewers is an irrelevant figure.

now, NXT got essentially a victory last week, by coming so close in the demo - based on previous figures, you'd expect NXT to never have come close. but they did a .24 vs. AEW's .26 this week, and looking at that figure it's definitely not unthinkable that NXT will get a win soon. but it's just flat incorrect to say they had a win already.

Finally watched AEW.

Was not expecting so many goofy fun characters. It was great. Need me some more Luchasaurus. Can we get history lessons with Luchasaurus?

And Jericho playing on two of his beloved gags with The List and 1000 moves.

A couple of evil groups that I'd like to see interact

I may actually get a break to watch AEW for a change. It'd be nice. At least this week isn't the BUTCHER AND the BLADE reveal. It sounds like they avoid pitfalls like that and rebounded a bit.

I"ve been meaning to watch the Irishman though...dang.

While this has been true and is mostly still true, networks have been starting to shift away from that in recent years as older viewers are the ones that still consistently watch live television, whereas the demo is favoring streaming services more and more.

Btw I think AEW is doing a great job with underdog stories right now. I hope the crowd explodes when someone finally pulls off a huge upset, because they're setting a clear upper echelon of performers that the midcard is gonna have to break through.

It's kinda hard to not have Jericho, Moxley, Omega, PAC, and Cody as the top 5 (In terms of in-ring experience and TV exposure). Page/MJF fit in at top 6 just fine I suppose. The issue is how fast they exhaust those options while building up other people at the right time. I always maintain that WWE's major problem is they DON"T feature a Top 6 tier, and just have maybe 2-3 go tos per division and just cycle through people like they don't matter. At best, 1-2 top guys per brand....not enough (hence all their booking issues).

Just have a world title feud, and then that 1-2 major grudge feud storylines to center the show around, and things fall where they need to. Allin probably fits in that next tier down, but I wonder just how long this Inner Circle thing will go for. They would be smart to let it die off sooner rather than later, if NWO or Aces and Eights are anything to go by. You can just bet the whole Hager thing either leads to him turning on Jericho or vice versa. They wouldn't have "super big MMA badass" bodyguard there and not build him up to that top tier eventually.

NXT winning that 18-34 is their biggest win yet, and the big takeaway here is that NXT has grown in viewers without AEW losing from a few weeks back. I think Survivor Series got more WWE fans to watch NXT who just weren't watching wrestling on Wednesday
