Re: AEW Ratings, Buy-Rates and Viewership Discussion
They need to beat NXT to be seen as competitive to WWE, they can't lose to developmental.
They need to cater to casuals, to the 10 million people which is the least of the total Market and not cater to a niche fanatic market that's capped at 1.5 million people which WWE is catering to, of which will never stop watching as long as the term "wrestling" is in the name.

I know you made this thread to troll. But yes buys are down because Double or Nothing was first show excitement. All Out buys would have been bigger. But you can't take away the number one match people want to see in Moxley/Omega and expect it to do better then Double or Nothing. So the reason buys were down was no Moxley/Omega.
Also you are a idiot they aren't screwed. The whole point of weekly tv is to add more AEW fans which will result in more buys lol. I'm sorry but you just need to be banned for trolling at this point. Please at least make sense when you are trying to troll. It's still AMAZING that AEW is able to do these buys(that WCW wasnt even doing in 2001)without weekly tv. You dumbass lol.
It's still too early to get worried. They haven't even started yet. I'm pretty sure that they are aware of this and are doing the necessary adjustments needed to make a better show.

The fact that anyone actually buys traditional PPVs anymore is almost as laughable as people thinking that is a legitimate way to judge a companies worth.

You can make that argument for WWE because of the network, but there is no AEW network. PPV buys are a large (and only atm) part of their revenue, which directly contributes to their worth. Losing 10% of your audience in a few months is a huge deal.
if true then so what? AEW is in no danger of failing, It still has a fanbase that they'll continue to grow and they'll easily make those fans back. Not a big deal.
Fans that seem so much more invested in 'Ratings' & 'Buys' rather than focus on Characters and story lines, are everything wrong with Wrestling fans today. I've been watching since around 1990/91 and at not a single point have I ever been concerned about that side of things. As long as companies have good stories and characters to keep me interested, that's all i need. Fuck the numbers.
Ratings not picking up, after having absolutely zero television shows yet, these are the brilliant minds we're supposed to be discussing wrestling with.
people making it sound like things are crumbling down never make me lol enough :lol
yeah they just did 110k buys ( per Meltzer) for their latest ppv but sure "omg its the end of the world"
the instant sellout were always going to stop, do folks even realize one year from now a non wwe company selling 7000 seats was a literally seen as impossible?
they will grow and have a lot of leeway to work with, the crazy expectations are hilarious, I have seen people say they could do 3.2 million viewers :lol gezus
over than that I agree they will have to do a lot to get over with people, thats what every fucking start up company in the world has to face.
Their movement has mostly been online, and that will just grow
We’ll see what happens once tv starts - i think we’re still looking at sell-outs or near sell-outs for the forseeable future - just not within the hour.
Might take days or weeks now. But 80% average capacity per event for sure IMO
Re: AEW Ratings, Buy-Rates and Viewership Discussion
Great thread for preservation of sanity
For clarification - this is the place for ticket buy-rate as well, right?
On topic - everything’s fine / all is great / ratings are gonna be amazing, ppv numbers will climb and tickets will sell-out
