She might not wrestle until the end of May with the announcement of her fighting for the TBS title at Double or Nothing. Holy hell, I thought her title shot was at Dynasty, well shit, they’re not stupid enough to have her first match all the way at DoN. Are they? She said “ Las Vegas” which is where DON is this year. IDK why they don’t so Mone vs. Statlander at Dynasty for example? |

Hope not. Her greatest strength was her in-ring talent and honesty her not even having a match yet by now is absolutely a boneheaded move she's like 99% in ring talent, even with any troubles AEW is having I really can't see a way they'd hold off that long. i'll gladly eat crow if not but if that becomes true I wouldn't care about eating crow, I'd wonder if she's injured or some weird shit was going on. she needs to be in ring immediately, even if it is a squash of someone I watched the segment on YouTube and as she's declared she will face the winner of the Dynasty match at DON it does seem possible/likely she won't wrestle a singles match until then. If she doesn't wrestle at all then like you I'd be assuming something is up including potentially a limit on the no. of matches in her contract or like you say she's still injured. As an aside the current presentation of Mercedes won't last until DON as a babyface. That dance is about as heel as it gets 🤣 |

Mercedes is already old news, AEW has moved on to its newest hot signing: the worms. The worms that infest. The worms that feed. The worms that now writhe within the rotting corpse of the company you profess your love to. The worms that come when the sickness is terminal and the decay has already set in. AEW's heart may beat its final few pulses, but the freesh debut awaiting it shall be that of the writhing mass within its empty husk. A core taken over and devoured from within by its new inhabitants. It shall be such a shame that AEW shall not live long enough to see DYnasty, that Mercedes will nto be able to join in the mockery of w5restling and dignity that this blighted circus puts on. But it shall not be a shame for the worms, for they hunger, and their meal awaits.

The demo has been oddly consistent over the course of the show for the past two weeks. There's just a group of people who haven't tuned in suddenly two weeks in a row and I don't really have a gond explanation. People in r/squaredcircle theorize Sting took a chunk w/ him. Which would be crazy and a testament to Sting if true. Imo, having Mone be on the roster is cool and all, but having her spend all this time basically just talking and not having any matches has, imo, cooled her off a little bit. Doesn’t help that Dynasty is towards the end of the month and if she’s not planning to wrestle till then than I feel the novelty will wear off completely which sucks because Iam a big fan of her and she’s been squanded so far It’s one of the fastest switches from hype-to-anti hype I’ve seen in wrestling. I’m sure there’s similar examples (maybe in wwe too, I can’t recall) but it sucks. She comes off very unlikeable too. Imagine if instead of egotistical, flashy and conceited she came in serious and immediately got to wrestling. I don't think there's much they can do. As Toni Storm knows there's an old saying in entertainment - always leave them wanting more. 5 hours of TV and near monthly ppvs mean very few want more. Plus early Collision being a mess helped make it easy go skip things and once people start doing that they'll do it more, especially in a week with so much wrestling. If they still threw everything into dynamite with just rampage as overflow I'm sure ratings would be higher. However their current model with Collision is what the network wants and is presumably more profitable but it just means it's extremely difficult for dynamite to hit the ratings highs it once did. I really don't see how Collision existing is hurting Dynamite's ratings, like sometimes people can only watch one during the week but it's because they can't watch the other or sometimes never could. I get the idea that only so many people watch so much wrestling a week but no that does not explain Dynamite's current ratings when Collision's been around now almost a year. One can argue it’s not just “there’s too much wrestling, I’m going to tune out, but Dynamites quality is obviously not the same as when it was the only show. When that (and PPV’s, and fricken dark I guess) was the only other thing Tony had to book or worry about. When Dynamite was the only show, a lot of times it felt “All Killer No Filler”, can’t blame him though, I guess, because rampage/collision has expanded the company and gotten them money. |

Obviously Khan needs to book Billy Gunn in an Iron man match next week according to those ratings.

I think the winning ratings formula here is to run a clip from the Big Bang Theory during Dynamite but have Ass/Switchblade do MST3K style commentary over it.

I can't really tell you many Dynamites that have much filler, a lot of stuff makes a ton of sense or are really, really good matches, like Dynamite's always been imo |

Like a certain guy said :this is not a business ,this is not about making money ,this is about making good matches in a empty arenas and as long as Tony funds it with his own money , AEW will be fine Man, basically every modern non-WWE professional wrestling company save for WCW for one 5-6 year flash in the pan would kill to have shows in front of the “empty arenas” that AEW does. Anyway, this obviously isn’t a good rating and AEW is obviously not on a great trend at the moment. But, like I’ve said the last couple of weeks, what this really shows me is that at 5 years old and amidst some pretty serious negative press and backstage scandals, AEW’s live television viewership has dwindled to its core fanbase. And if that’s 750k and Top 5 on cable, AEW will be around for a very, very long time. The doom and gloom is significantly overblown, I think. |
