The problem with AEW right now is that TK still thinks it is 2019-2021 where the market value for indie workrate was very high. The business has now evolved. People no longer want to sit through these workrate matches for no reason. People want very well structured stories that makes sense and characters that gets the people invested. AEW is not doing this

To be honest, I don’t think work rate was ever a thing. Guys like HBK and Kurt Angle had work rate, but their promos and angles leading up to their matches made their work rate better.

AEW is killing itself just fine

[@lindacarter8351]

The lead-in from Big Bang Theory 😂😂😂😂

[@nate_thegreat313]

AEW is just going down and down further in the ratings. Looking incredibly terrible

[@MatthewSorar]

Yea sad. Watch the product

[@zeroisnine]

WBD will obviously make excuses because it's (atm) their show and even if they want to low-ball negotiations, there's no benefit to them making it look bad.

AEW = All Energy’s Wasted

[@TSMontana]

Ever since I've been attending AEW shows in 2019, I saw more than a few people in the audience wearing WWE merch (shirts, replica titles, etc.). I always wondered how long it would take for them to forget about AEW, once WWE became (even) marginally better. I'm one of the fans TK would call a "sicko", and would probably never watch WWE again (too much scandal, too much cheese, wrestlers who have to "nerf" their movesets/how they work, etc.)...but I get I'm not the audience WWE is trying to attract anymore. I just hope TK can adjust his business model to continue to provide a solid #2 promotion in North America for the years to come.

I'm kinda curious when JD is gonna put tony khan back in the intro next to vince and bruce

[@traceonlock]

WWE was giving us bad storylines and terrible wrestling when AEW was popping off and that’s why we were eating up the fantastic wrestling. Now WWE is giving us good wrestling and good storylines and AEW can’t keep up.

[@Viserysrule3]

Sorry guys I get it…wrestling is better with 2 companies goin strong but nothing about AEW is good. Just got introduced to Joe Hendry who id rather see then MJF.

[@thechamp18101]

I love how they have so much excuses but failed to remember that everyone got cell phones and can watch directly live from it. Why punk and cody not there. JD is correct!!!

[@Swaytekk]

Dynamite ratings have set a new record low of 400,000 views Online shills: well that week, Venus was orbiting Mars and Illinois was experiencing an Indian summer. Not to mention Home Depot ran out of fertilizer…. I predict there will be more wild excuses

[@ryanfraley7113]

Menards was running a BIG sale, 100k viewers down right there 🤣🤣🤣

[@alexanderarce3341]

If AEW Dynamite gets 350-400K viewers the AEW cult will say it was because of the Biden vs Trump debate

[@marvinarayan2560]

😂😂😂

[@Linklex7]

AEW use to try to go for the causal audience with storytelling. Then they just gave up on it and that was when I realized something. It was Cody who always made the public appearances to get AEW into the mainstream. TK only ever cared about the IWC sickos

[@playersclubsteppers1928]

Preach preach thank you Tony and Jericho used to shove the ratings down our throats ow it’s ohh just enjoy the show nahhhhhhh nahhhh keep that same energy lol

[@MrWickked]

Man, I gave up on watching AEW a while back after they aired the "backstage footage" from Wembley... Now I just listen to your reviews on a AEW just like I did with WWE back when Vince was in charge... Crazy how things have changed.

[@MatthewSorar]

Another hater who comments on aew posts but doesn't watch the product. What a joke

[@TheGreatestBabyFace]

I haven’t watch Dynamite since early May.

[@mittalvinayak12]

I haven't since last year All Out even though I was watching since 2019

[@sniffer6285]

I DVR it and don't even watch it when I have free time.
