This is such a BS claim that its hilarious. You just know people who already hate this doll gimmick are absolutely gonna take the bait and run with it anyway.
Also, the image of grown adults leaving the arena in rage over THIS is just so, so funny.

Between this and the whole “Here’s a random thing. WWE fans have less money and are less educated than AEW fans” thing. Meltzer is on a bean lately and it’s really funny

It’s weird.
I’ve not been a fan of Bliss’ schtick for some time and Charlotte, while sometimes a phenomenal wrestler, tends to annoy me significantly during her promos.
But I actually liked their exchange last night. First time in a while I found them to be engaging.
Maybe it’s just me, but the report seems… lacking in credibility. Not because it can’t be true because I enjoyed the segment, but just because the arena didn’t seem much different.

Meltzer is on a bean lately and it’s really funny Don't forget his abysmal track record of reporting stuff in WWE in general as of late. Both him and Bryan have been pretty bad (although to be fair, Bryan has never been good at it). The problem is he says what people want to hear even if it isn't true. Because that gets him paid. Dave is someone who has literally zero reason to be unbiased in regards to certain companies. And as much as I dislike the Alexa stuff, it seems to be popular enough, so this report is just the latest on a pile of lies he's been building over the past month or so. He's quickly approaching Brad Shepard/Bill Bhatti levels of credibility.

Yeah, I hate Alexa’s gimmick as much as anyone but the girl has remained consistently over. I enjoyed last nights promo as well but only in the sense it seemed like Charlotte was burying the gimmick. Alexa seemed “trapped” in the gimmick too. Like, she was sounding less evil girl and more old Alexa in responding to Charlotte to try and keep up. But they had the crowd with ‘em, that’s for sure.

I enjoyed Alexa when Mickie James came out to the ring with her. Nothing to do with this but anyways.

Meltzer is on a bean lately and it’s really funny That one was true and even reported by other journalists.Not that it means much,the only reason it was even reported is because Khan commented on it. twitter.com/BrandonThurston/status/1440039602681630730 this is the one I saw at least.

The follow up comments on that are terrible..when did we get to a point that when anything is posted about either company doing well, there's a group that losses their minds?

Its not even a positive thing like...it means AEW is doing well with one specific demographic and it shows they clearly hurt in others for reasons people have gone in depth in the thread of the lack of Poc in the ME. Its literally just stats no one is really gonna say AEW fans are smarter or any bullshit like that.

I think the only time I've ever actually seen people leave in droves was that one Roman / Joe match.

Hey everybody, come back! One of the wrestlers decided to clap back for some reason! The Bruce Prichard School strikes again.

Someone in the audience sent them that, pretty obvious. Could be true, could be false but it's just something else that draws a line for fabs to argue about.

this is the one I saw at least. All this really shows is that us in the AEW Main Event Diversity thread were correct in saying AEW's got a diversity issue but that's another story. I don't know where the whole "well uh AEW fans are smarter" thing comes from. If Meltzer said that then he's getting paid under the table. Hey everybody, come back! One of the wrestlers decided to clap back for some reason! I mean I can't blame her. I love when wrestlers clap back. Even if wrestlers are wrong at times, it makes for good entertainment.

A drop in attendance of nearly a quarter during the course of a live event is really, _really_ difficult to prove unless the venue or WWE has people near the exits counting and polling those leaving. Even then, WWE wouldn't listen to those comments anyway.
Given that most nosebleed seats are over $30 a pop and concessions are near-prohibitively expensive, few are going to leave early unless a)an emergency has come up to require their immediate presence away from the event or b) they're that frustrated with what's presented that not even the promise of a main event _like that_ is enough to keep them. A) you can't really do anything about. B), on the other hand, is an easily waved-off reason in that WWE already has that gate money in hand.
What may tell the tale, however, is how the live events actually sell tickets going forward. Pretty sure Fox and USA are going to shell out some serious TV magic (and sign some bigass technical riders on venue contracts that would make Van Halen look lax) to polish a TV program in a VFW hall in Poughkeepsie.

Yeah, with how Alexa is reacting on Twitter, I’m going with “planted story to take away from the Plane Ride from Hell episode of Dark Side of the Ring where they don’t come off particularly great”.
