98k buyrate

It's the reason why the WWE switched to the network. The last two UFC PPV's did around 100k.

Over all the PPV average is going down not up even though records sometimes getting broken. Kind of whats happening in film with the box office records are being broken but the averages are going down.

>pretend

Ok you got me there. It is straight up bad

it wasn’t $50 a pop though. That was in one region. It was €£$20 elsewhere. why do you cultists keep pushing this misinformation....oh I know why

AEWHO BTFO!

Ok, let's play a game.
What percentage of the PPVs were purchased in USA?

>How is this a bad thing?
smarks are going to run out of NEETbux

>The last two UFC PPV's did around 100k.
Oh and here I thought 'they beat them handily'.
AEW drones are ridiculous. Aparrently PPV is dead in the water so 100k is secretly a good number despite shows doing literal millions of buys RECENTLY and apparently the show wasn't promoted whatsoever despite them getting mentioned on shoot sports broadcasts and every journalist shilling the promotion as hard as possible because it caters to smart fans and that's where they make their money.

Didn’t pay for this because I didn’t know what to expect. If next show is same price, around £15. I’ll probs go half’s with my wrestle bro. We pay for every Impact show.

OH NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!
AEWTISTS BTFO!
IF YOU ENJOY WATCHING THIS TRAIN WRECK UNFOLD GIMME A HELL YEAH

>Wrestling
>PPV in the digital era
>First show of a new promotion with literal who roster
>Too expensive

98k is an excellent result. Probably they wasn't thinking about get more than 50k.

Imagine trying to spin 100k buys as a negative. Get a fucking grip.

First it was 200k
Now it's 100k
Wouldn't be surprised if it's 50k tomorrow

I can't tell if people are working the retard gimmick or if it's their shoot life bros

>first it was 200k

Congratulations, you were unironically worked by an Yea Forumsie. Go back, summerfriend.

Dave meltzer was projecting 200k wasnt he?

No. He said he expected between 50,000 to 150,000.

meltzer said 200k but he was talking about the google trends.

>It is straight up bad

Attached: drone.jpg (1024x576, 38K)

98k is great.

We also know that zero casuals ordered this. That’s a number that reflects fatsos and shut-ins that couldn’t go to Vegas.

No.
Learn to read.
He said there were 220k bullshit things in google trends.
Nobody expected 200k.
50k was a realistic shot.

oh
Classic Meltzer misleading

>unironically watching wrestling
Hard to guess.

>“On Saturday night after the show when we mentioned that it did 200,000 searches on Google somehow this got translated into 200,000 buys on pay-per-view. It did not do that. That number would be ridiculous. You know I don’t know because of Memorial Day and it being Wednesday I don’t know any pay-per-view numbers for television whatsoever. I know streaming numbers. Streaming numbers were very good, but not like you’re going to do 200,000 total buys.”

“I don’t want to throw out a number, but it will easily, easily beat ALL IN which was the goal to beat ALL IN and that’s a guarantee.”

most fans live in horrendous trumpfs america economy,not everyone can just drop 60$ dollars for a ppv,especially after the orange trade war with china

Yes it’s horrendous
Looks at the rest of the world
Yeah, it’s still better here

>all these retards saying it's the first show
I know All-In was shit, but we can't ignore it. inb4 they weren't AEW back then, they basically were in all but name.

Anybody that thinks that’s a bad number is a fucking idiot.

It's a bad number, sorry AEWtist.

next will be "first TV show"
then will be "first PPV after TV"
then...

are the AEWhos coping yet?

>Be fucking retarded
>it-it's all meltzer's fault!

No, you're just a fucking retard and you have trouble understanding even the most basic of things.

Actually spazdick a lot of "news sites" were running with the 200k buyrate story if you google dave meltzer 200k AEW the first result for me at least was a whatculture story that redirects to page missing now but runs the headline
>AEW Double Or Nothing "Beats 200k Buys"

That's why UFC went ESPN exclusive and Canelo is on Dazn

And how is any of that Meltzers fault? It’s actually fucking embarrassing that other wrestling journalists write articles about Meltzers scoops.

UFC ppvs are on espn +

>Going to CuckCulture and 'news sites' for buyrates
You only have yourself to blame nimrod

Point is its not really anons fault for thinking thats what dave meltzer said when retards are running around writing articles saying DAVE MELTZER PREDICTS 200k BUYRATES.
Its all fake news from a bunch of neckbeards 40 year old virgin wrestling fans anyway.

I didnt I read Yea Forums and didn't really care one way or the other I just wanted someone to talk to I'm very lonely.

because he is misleading on purpose

Literally who talks about google trends instead?

And you just showed how retarded you really are.

Considering they have no TV yet, that's pretty decent.

>Literally who talks about google trends instead?
He does. A lot. For some reason his autistic brain gives him pleasure when he sees numbers.

Get the fuck out of here you cock sucking nigger

It's better than what I predicted. But Elite always overdeliver on my predictions.
I don't udnerstand where their fans really are. I don't get the appeal. But there it is.
Don't know why.

Anti Elite stans (and puro Twitter) are a vocal minority. They just got BTFO big time.

From the FB groups I lurk, there is overwhelming positivity about AEW. They WANT so badly some american wrestling that looks major league.
Lot of them never tried anything else but WCW or WWE. Even when given links to matches or big shows, they never tried anything.
And bizzarly, they watched only Jericho vs. Naito from this WK. Or Jericho vs. Omega from the last year. They are truly e-drones. And they are not willing to try anything else. So they were blown away by STRONGHEARTS and by joshis. Because they have never really seen anything like it.

>vocal minority
kek your promotion didn't even do 100k buys dude

>it only made several million dollars
what a fucking failure

>sega dreamcast supporter complains about console wars

How much subs does NJPWorld have again?

This

you tell me

Less than 100k if we only count the west.

>if we only count the west
lol
what does njpw have to do with anything again?
you're still the vocal minority

>100k buys without weekly tv and only a youtube show
>Vocal minority
Cope harder John.

ECWs most bought PPV ever (before WWE owned them) did like 99k buys. So for AEW to almost match that with no TV and almost no traditional advertising is impressive.

ECW had much higher competition.

UFC is no longer mega popular, they have been in a slump since Ronda got beat, Lesnar isn't there, Connor isn't there, etc... The second Punk fight also didn't draw so they lost money on him.

And in an era when wrestling is super cold and just starting to rise up as this weird underground shit for hipsters to attend from time to time and get high there.

you know it's true though
that's why you need to resort to memes and pushing this narrative lol
that's assuming this number is even real too
200k yesterday, 100k today. what's it going to be tomorrow?

Ok ok we heard you the first 50 times

Kys JAAAHN.

i have defeated you

ECW wasn't 'competing' in fucking 97 dude. It was its own unique product, since this was before the other companies were ripping off all its trademarks and signing its stars.

>UFC is a mega popular brand

you just wake up from a coma?

Actual e-drone cope is the saddest shit on this entire site.

...

100k in this environment is still not a bad draw

Wrestling viewership was also like 5x what it is now.

Thread full of cultist cope.

Not going to grab the digits for every post but it’s comical how often Nick and Cody are in here trying to cope. Cody enjoy your vacation and stay off your phone man

>inb4 they weren't AEW back then, they basically were in all but name.

There is no way you can give AEW full credit for that show.

Yes you can. Bucks and Cody booked the entire card. They just asked ROH and NJPW permission first.

Lol it was an AEW show where they tricked ROH into letting them use their infrastructure and some talent as a dry run. If All In at the Sears center wasn’t AEW why is All Out at the Sears Center happening?

We did it A-chads.

>98k
Little leagues

This shows us how many chads have disposable income to spare compared to the number of lonely autists screeching on Yea Forums while watching the WWE Network.

It was an ROH/NJPW show and NJPW drew the house. AEW is a failed copy.

based retard user getting worked by Meltzerposting

He said it was 200,000 google searches. No clue why you thought those were buys.

lol at believing everything you read on here

Because he said they were. He backtracked later and said that's what he was talking about, but originally 200k was his estimate. Many people took this from what he said, which is why multiple news sources reported it. It was all part of him trying to embellish the success of the show for his fuck buddies the "Elite".

These things usually estimate very generously, so expect the numbers to be slightly below 98K

You brainlets are all getting worked by terrible bait

You just know all these AEW tards have flown in from reddit. Look at how easily they get worked.

Anybody who understands the wrestling and PPV industries knows this was not a good number. There can't be any doubt that AEW is not taking off like they wanted. Their social media numbers are disappointing too. Not bad news, but not good news.

whatculture.com/wwe/aew-double-or-nothing-34-beats-200k-buys-34

Samefag.

this “report” was posted here and celebrated by the very same aewtists that are denying it here

Dear user, who is posting it was 200k. Nobody believed in here who has more than 2 braincells and was not worked by shitposting that it was 200k. Because that is an insane number for first show and makes no sense.

>15 years experience
Based zoomer with the bad numbers - UFC 1 was in 1993 and drew an 86,000 buyrate.

98k not 100k idiot

People are too used to WWE’s 9.99

Also willing to shell out 50 bucks for a show that has such a bad pre-show?
Pre-show was shit. pure shit. It made no sense and they were lucky a lot of people already bought the show. If you were lapssed fan and went onto some wrestling newz website to read about Undertaker vs. Goldberg and saw that there is a new promotion that will be on PPV, you'd read more about it.
Than you go and check out the pre-show before commiting. AND THEN THE PRE-SHOW IS FUCKING SHIT. Why would you pay them the money? After that awful thing?

...

Just goes to show that they have a base rate of 98K e-drones supporting them. Have you thank Vince and the e-drones for helping you draw the house?

>98k buys
>98k viewers on their first televised show
Are you ready to get the tarps out for AEW?

Attached: harusmug.jpg (300x169, 13K)

All in drew about 55.000

as far as I am concerned they almost doubled their audience with nothing but viral marketing and no tv show.

meanwhile ROH and TNA never made these kinds of numbers even during their greatest heights.

did you guys really think they'd topple WWE over night?

a number close to 100k has to be considered a great success under the circumstances, including general desinterest in wrestling and declining ppv numbers.

Sasuga, reddit spacing-kun

>DoN add at apehoop game
Omg yassss we taking over. We mainstream now. 500k buys incoming
>Not even 100k
Dude there was no tv promo! Lol

It hasn't been a week and you're already COPING
As Cornette said, give it 6 months and AEW will FOLD

>General deinterest in wrestling

Based AEWtist even recognizing the current landscape of pro wrestling and basically this is the highest they will go.

Cope and liarpilled

>Higher buys than WCW
>Failure
Laffin!

>comparing one ad to have a weekly show that constantly promotes your event
you can't be this stupid?

I dont see how this number is a negative

We rule this board now.

There is nothing you can do to stop us.

Keep crying, incel.

Hi Vincel

>comparing WWE's rapidly failing television show that's hemorrhaging viewers like AEW hemorrhages money to a paid advertisement during a shoot sports broadcast
kek this is actual cope

as far as I know AEW is growing acoring to plan. Better start than TNA had.

>one show
>they're growing
AEW fans will literally admit that they're losing money at a rate unprecedented for a wrestling promotion.

>cope
You didn't answer the question. Are you now implying that having a TV weekly program promoting your events wouldn't help?

That has always been the wrestling business model.

>Cornette
Not even once. In fact Cornette hating it is good for AEW

The only thing I'm implying is that you can suck my ding-dong diddly dick

>at a rate unprecedented for a wrestling promotion

you assholes write with astounding self-assurance about shit you know nothing about, as if you all were some kind of financial experts and had all the numbers of recent years at the ready

Anyone saying it's bad is fucking dumb
Biggest ppv sales since the wcw days ( only topped by ecw biggest ppv in term of buys which did around the same numbers)
With no TV and build on YouTube.
Are you retarded? If anything TNT is shaking right now lol they might have hit jackpot

...

Why'd ya quote and post a selfie of ya self, lil guy?

Yeah for sure man nobody even knew about AEW it's not like it's their second show or that they were pushed during sports and by every journalist that's conveniently good friends with the promoters or anything

isn't it kind of a bad business decision to start doing regular PPVs before the start of the actual weeklies?

Just because you are very much into the Internet Wrestling Community doesn't mean others are. You being a smark doesn't make everyone a smark.
We all know that 100k is a success, you are just trying to make it like it isn't.
You are probably on here talking about that mythical casual fan, right? How that person would be able to know about this, also how that person would have bought the show after seeing the terrible pre-show.
100k basically pre-orderdered it. It makes their floor 100k people. Which is much more than I anticipated. I was willing to say that 50k is a success, if that number came out. 100k? That¨s twice as much.

Attached: content Joe.gif (500x281, 2.52M)

It is and at the same time it is not.
If you have been here from the time they announced the promotion (January 6th), you¨d know that for 2 months all the posts about AEW were
>What's their roster
>Where are the stars
>When is the first show
>Where is the TV deal
>When the TV series starts
>Where are the fans
>Sub 10k PPV buys
>No stories
etc.
They had to have a show. A big one.
Not before Wrestlemania, that was too soon and if WWE had a super hot program going into WM, it would have stolen AEW thunder.
It also couldn't have been immedietly after WM, because lot of the people who were at WM are the same people who would fly to Las Vegas for the show.
End of May was almost perfect, because they have known they want to have another big show at the end of August, one year after ALL IN.

You didn't listen to him then. Never once did that autistic sumbitch say that.

It's not, it's actually great for their first show. E-Drones are just retarded and can't do math.

Ya seethe?
