AEW Fyter Fest was last night and although the show was action-packed and didn’t disappoint, some are let down a little bit in regards to how the show performed within the pro wrestling fan base.
Although we don’t know the streaming numbers just yet, we have already reported that the Google search trends did not measure up to Double Or Nothing at all.
Tom Colohue of Post Wrestling reports that a source in WWE told him that there is a belief within the company that AEW will eventually “implode.” This is due to their huge huge hype and how they will not be able to achieve those expectations.
>“The feeling is that #AEW will implode under the weight of their own hype. Nobody here is feeling any pressure.” – #WWE source
WWE doesn’t seem to be feeling any pressure. This is interesting because the company is still making changes, but that might be simply to get their own viewership back up.
AEW will continue and debut on TNT in the Fall. So hopefully, interest spikes once again. They need to do something to generate more attention at this point because the overall consensus might point to another pro wrestling company with dwindling interest.
WWE is going to implode with or without AEW around

Aew needs a new age "Hall and Nash" to come over and shake shit up. But thing is aew is full of limp wristed faggots and wwe is full of manlets so that formula will never work in this day and age.
AEW will die in your lifetime!

>WWE doesn’t seem to be feeling any pressure
kek they can’t even fill a bingo hall and their big stars are failed midcarders
Jeremiah Williams
When does AEW plan on acquiring actual talent? Right now the only mainstream draws they have are Jericho and MJF (who isn’t one now but would be on cable TV). That’s not going to cut it.
I don’t understand why they haven’t acquired some big free agents and also bought out guys currently in WWE who actually matter.
This is what WCW did. If AEW sticks with the “vanilla midget manlets will TOTALLY draw!!!” mentality they’re in for a rude awakening.
They need guys like Batista, Goldberg, Hogan, the Hardys, Brock Lesnar, etc. hell I’ll even accept CM Punk even though he sucks. Etc.
Christian Flores
Kek, those nigga brought Bischoff back they're feeling something. That being said, find something better to do with your life than writing fake news on a trash wrestling board.

Kek, besides Hogan you just listed a bunch of no dime shitters.
Thomas Williams
Maybe Vince should concern himself with the plummeting attendance and pathetic ratings and the plummeting stock.
Jackson Lee
i sort of agree. the hype and expectations are HUGE and any failure to deliver will be met with harsh critique
not to mention, a large part of AEW's fanbase are basedboy liberal reddit cucks, which is a demographic well known for cannibalizing itself. the instant someone on the roster gets recorded saying "faggot" they'll get fired and everything will have to be re-booked
Hudson Murphy
>hemorrhaging ratings and attendance weekly >Have to fill a rating quota for Fox or could lose contract >Not worried about increasingly hot rival company debuting on even bigger network that could ultimately take away more of their audience Sure thing lil guy
i'm sure he'll schedule that while he runs a billion dollar company, gets in his private jet and tells a team of hundreds what to do living like a total boss. what did you do today?
Jordan Martin
The "vanilla midgets" were being pushed when WCW was already down the shittier. Unironically one of the most based things Russo did.
Liam Johnson
You didn’t win anything nobody cares about your bingo hall midcarders and audience of 34 fat manchildren and tarps
Maybe you can say you won something when a WWE show can actually outsell PWG or have a three star match on it
Caleb Baker
Using Meltzer Magoo snowflakes as an argument gets an automatic cringe from me.
Luke Cooper
While the hype is great I agree and can hurt them like with fyter fest which wasnt meant to be a serious show but was taken as such by people. Thinking they wont be able to deliver is too risky. Look all out I think is gonna be a gigantic Homerun and when that happens it will create a hype bigger than DON. I dont know if wwe's way of thinking is smart. They dont want to be surprised again...
Adam Adams
It’s fine if your promotion wants to do good matches and nobody cares
But WWE is a promotion which can’t even outdraw Dragon Gate, and all its matches are shit
And so is meltzers opinion
And so is your opinion for thinking Dave meltzer invented stars
Connor Brown
Historian here. What I see in WWE and its administration system is that it's not going to outlived Vincent Kennedy McMahon. As most of empires of human history, they will banish after the founder dies.
Aiden Scott
>Vincent Kennedy McMahon. As most of empires of human history, they will banish after the founder dies. Vince Jr isn't the founder.
Charles White
fyter fest was a televised house show kek they barely promoted it. it had like 3 weeks of build and 0 stakes on any of the matches.
Henry Martinez
This. Vince is the organisational structure so when he goes, it will all collapse. His refusal to give up control while he’s alive will kill his company quicker than if he stepped back a little.
Ian Parker
>Historian here >proceeds to say a bunch of retarded shit and fuck up speaking english
Isaiah Jackson
This isn't the 90s. There's not THREE different talent pools to take from, there is only ONE - the wwe.
AEW is screwed and I guarantee Vince is locking in those guys into Legends contracts as we speak (aka they'll get paid just to sit on their butts and not go to aew).
Samuel Jackson
>Although we don’t know the streaming numbers just yet, we have already reported that the Google search trends did not measure up to Double Or Nothing at all.
Can't imagine why. I mean, it was called "Fyter Fest" and was largely comedy geek flippshit. Isn't that what the people want?
This should prove to Khan that the Young Bucks are completely worthless.
Hunter Long
Good boy
Adam Martin
>Aew needs a new age "Hall and Nash" to come over and shake shit up.
Enzo and Cass.
Cooper White
BAAAASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDD
Luke Watson
based and history pilled
Jackson Torres
>Kenny Omemega >John Moxley >CAWdy
You are a retard if you don't think these guys can cornerstone a TV show along with Jeriboomer and MJF. What's going to kill AEW is the meta-smark Young Bucks comedy faggotry.
Connor Walker
the only talent WWE has, they got from ROH, or TNA, who also got them from ROH. WWE doesn't know how to make stars, thats why their guys are all midcarders who dont connect with their bingo hall audience of 50 people
Robert Myers
They're not wrong. They have a paper thin roster.
Kevin Jenkins
>increasingly hot rival company Interest is already dying for AEW though.
Alexander Reed
This desu
Caleb Rogers
You sound like such a corporate little cuck. Take Vince's cock out of your mouth, you dumb, purpose-less faggot.
Ethan Wilson
Trigger the shit out of a half retarded puppet on a Mongolian Cartoonists imageboard
Bentley Butler
After the lackluster show, and the shit with Cawdy's chairshot I believe WWE are right. The egos and marky attitude in AEW are going to kill it within.
Carter Harris
Orton and Cena
Ryan Price
I have zero fucking doubt after listening to Khans vision copied straight from Meltzer Magoo and half of their shit looking like some indy company that their ratings WILL NOT go over 1 million.
Camden Taylor
>billion dollar company ???? What other company does Vince own because WWE is not worth that much?
Joshua Carter
>historian >uses banish instead of vanish esl friend
Aaron Brooks
Cena would have to flounder in AEW for a few years before he could become the third guy.
Camden Garcia
>man ignores important point to make a personal attack against another user for all you know that dude could be big dimes khan himself.
Ethan Phillips
This I hate the young cucks so fucking much
Elijah Davis
>Ringside news Fuck off Carrier Stop shilling your fake shit here
Bruh, Vince Sr. ain't the one who put together the current corporate structure of WWE. Come on.
Brayden Brooks
>WWE doesn’t seem to be feeling any pressure >begging even the shittiest talent to sign lucrative 5 year contracts Ok.
Alexander Sanders
Yeah let's see how long they last in an even more PC company than WWE.
Gavin Morris
lol no, vince sr had control of the new york territory and nothing else, nothing he did was revolutionary or ground breaking and he ran his territory almost the exact same way the other promoters did, the world wide wrestling federation wasnt any better than other shows.
the only thing he had going for him was Andre.
Carson Perry
>source is ringsidenews.com, which is constantly bullshit lol edrones will believe anything
Christopher Green
AEW is looking like nothing more than another over produced indy fed with a bunch of investment.
Tyler Butler
They unironically need to improve their mid card division, right now its >UNDERCARD-----MAIN-EVENTERS Anyone who are in the Elite Circle + Jericho + Ambrose is viewed as main eventers while the rest of the rosters are literally who. MJF is the only on who I see that has potential mid card
Jonathan Young
This board is the only one autistic enough to have discussion about fucking fake news lmao
>the only mainstream draws they have are Jericho and MJF
Stop posting here MJF and get good. your promos are generic "hurr i'm good you're not" trash
Ethan Watson

32yo boomer here. I grew up early 90s watching peak 80s reruns and the shit wcw and wwf would churn out, then Adidas poppers, girl power, the spice girls and platform shoes became trendy, followed by a wrestling boom in the form of the attitude era. Judging by the recent fashion trends, feminazis and the shit that’s been produced by all wrestling companies in the last 5 years... we are 1-2 years away from another boom.
Brandon Fisher
what is with you queers and your COCK MASTER PUNK SHOULD WRESTLING HES DA BEST!@ no he's a bitch that lost any and all cred he had and nobody but faggots would take serious in the ring.
kek seeing cock master as anything but a bitch that cant fight. such drones
