Humble pie by forcing NXT to stack their show with Cena and Taker and the likes and TBS once again fking up by going to commercial break at 10pm leading to the overrun doing the worst demo for Dynamite?
A lot of people can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that Tony didn't choose to go head-to-head with NXT, knew his show wasn't going to win, and was just trying to advertise as best as he could with his antics on Twitter. But there is still going to be an expected reaction to his antics the next day if they lost, too. It goes both ways .

This is what TK gets for mocking male pattern baldness.

Sure, but I don’t believe for even an iota of a second that he earnestly expected to outright win last night. I fully believe the reports that everyone is happy on both sides. TK shouldn’t be ripping on HBK’s booking on the X and riling up trolls, I guess, but I think there’s a method to his madness on social media. Anyway, last night’s show was awesome, Full Gear has quietly sold extremely well so of course no one is really talking about it. AEW really feels like it’s started to turn a corner into the post-Punk era. It’s a good time to be a wrestling fan, generally, whatever your preference.

Tony is working that engagement algorithm (says it in Menard's voice)

The one person that NXT didn’t bring on the show ironically, is the one person who actually got NXT over a million (Becky wasn’t on the show last night outside of a video package).

Considering Tuesday Dynamite was essentially people you would likely see every week/most weeks on Dynamite vs NXT bringing in big names for a single week, that’s pretty solid ratings for AEW.

The big take is in the span of a year since the last H2H, NXT has gained over 290k viewers, with an extra year’s experience behind the 2.0 roster which is incredible going for what were largely a bunch of nobodies when the rebrand happened 2 years ago
Read nothing into Dynamite ‘only’ getting 602k as their ratings always drop away from Wednesdays, they should be back to normal figures next week
It’s the tribalism I find most stupid, ‘WWE only got that because they booked Cena, Cody and Taker’ yeah but what was the excuse for them hitting 850k+ in the few weeks before that without using them 3 names and only Becky and Dom Dom from the main roster? ‘TK ran his mouth and got burnt’ sure he went overboard but it’s nothing he hasn’t done since the company started that’s just his personality, the stupid thing would have been if Trips or HBK had thrown a jab back
We got two great shows last night so we should be celebrating that fact, we haven’t had it this good since peak Monday Night Wars

So basically, same thing I said last week: Edge is a draw in Canada. You know what? I'll take it.

So we had a bunch of promotion, some real good matches, and about a million and a half viewers across the two shows. Nothing but a win here for pro wrestling. This is how I look at this. Same. I watched both shows, and liked one way more than the other, but I can't fault anyone for what they preferred, and 1.5 million people watched wrestling on a Tuesday night. That's a win.

I don't know if we'd have survived lmfao It might have been in its very infancy but it did exsist with chatrooms and things like msn messenger. Damn that was like 80 lifetimes ago.

People in 1998 would be on Twitter arguing over a quarter hour with Kurgan/Marc Mero going against Wrath/Mike Enos.
