But it's not, it's the fourth ranked men's title. The TNT title is more important and the title orange Cassidy had might be more important than that

Yes for the brand it's on and the IC title the secondary title for the brand it's on. AEW has no different brands so Okada's title is the fourth ranked title

You know what I mean any news that's slightly negative being reported here comes the WWE Justice League. Relax my brother.

Cap. We talked about CM Punk was still the biggest draw in AEW.

Still false. It was not created by Meltzer, it's a valuation that was determined based on the public documents available.

Corps overpay in regards to acquisitions often, that usually is followed with cuts. Which is coincidentally what is happening with the WWE.

WWE and WCW were both hot at the same time but WCW were washing them for 83 weeks straight which means what? WWE were number 2.
I did not say WWE are to blame for anything. My point is quite clearly that when one company is hot, the other will be number 2 or run cold.

Again, it doesn't matter if you tell yourself whatever you're telling yourself or what the WWE indoctrination told you, the hard numbers are there and are accessible.

I just want to know. What would it take for you to admit they're doing bad? Is their a number? I said this at 800k viewers and the free fall is continuing.

Ticket sales are getting worse. Buyrates are getting worse. Ratings are getting worse. Can you at least admit that this is concerning?? That maybe something should be done to try and reverse these trends?

AEW is a privately owned company. So no there are no hard numbers.

The hard numbers that we can actually see show them giving away tickets for last nights show because they couldn't get 2500 people into their building.

Yeah WWE and WCW were hot at the same time. So AEW could be hot. That they're not is of their own doing.

Like I said, for them to hit the numbers of 2021, WWE has to go cold again. It's absolutely reciprocal.

There were definitely AEW viewers that were just waiting for WWE to get good again and now they're good again, they dipped. That's just the business.

If they were doing bad WBD would have dropped them, they finish top 3 in their timeslot for each show they have, this also ignores DVR numbers, when they are factored in, it's much higher, meaning the network is happy with them. They are not doing bad. The free fall you are talking vehemently about does not exist.

TV has been the most important part of modern Wrestling for decades now as opposed to live houses and buyrates. If this wasn't true, the Netflix deal, tv rights and the importance of the WWE library would not be a big deal. If AEW decided to run smaller houses and sold them out consistently, this wouldn't even be a point of discussion.
