Im not trying to bullshit or troll Im asking real talk. What happens if this bombs? Not fails a bit or just quietly becomes TNA 2.0, I mean BOMBS
>TNT ratings in the actual shitter >No house shows ever >Buy rates never improve past maybe 60,000 >None of their stars get over on a mainstream/semi mainstream level
What happens then? Do we just go back to the status quo? Or does that truly mean that wrestling is fucked.
It means aew workers come crawling up Vince’s ass for mark contracts to keep their tranny spouses from leaving
Justin Turner
then cody vs hhh at mania will be kino
Nicholas Sanchez
I honestly dont see them as WWE 2.0 or WCW 2.0, i see them more as a bigger indy fed, kinda like the western NJPW in terms of style. I dont think they want to cater to the casual masses like wwe does. So i think they will be happy with moderate ratings and a hardcore fanbase.

Nicholas Barnes
I'm in the minority with this but I don't think AEW's biggest worry should be WWE, it should be MLW. With each taping they seem to be getting a budget increase with more butts in seats, and they're doing more tours and doing more live broadcasts. The only thing holding them back is television exposure since beIN Sports is a premium channel and their content does not air on basic cable or streaming services.
Ryder Fisher
I hope they have a warning message at the start of the show telling people that wrestling is fake and not to worry about the safety of the performers and also the heels don't really intend to be mean
Juan Fisher
what does that say about AEW
Nolan Murphy
>MLW
Literally fucking who
Jayden Howard
Cody and YB might like it but, Daddy Khan is gonna want some numbers eventually.
Also a warning for autistic kids that its sensory inclusive.
Sebastian Harris
Yea Forums chases the wewdditor snakes out of the board, and it's back to the status quo ante with fun banter between /wwe/ (with /ram/ and /smack/ infighting), /cmll/, and /njpw/.
>Daddy Khan Daddy Khan probably doesnt even know AEW exists.
Oliver Cook
>Literally fucking who MLW. It's right there in the post.
Nathaniel Foster

Jason Miller
Until the bills come in
Alexander Ortiz
Its going to be extremely fun to shitpost on here if AEW fails in spectacular fashion
Alexander Sanchez
He probably makes the amount AEW needs to have to run 1 year in like a week
Henry Campbell
if AEW does fail my god the tears will be delicious. In another question would the YB and Kenny go back to Japan if it does sink?
Elijah Walker
At this point it's pretty clear that they're just going to be TNA 2.0 unless they listen to the criticism and change. They were promising a more serious and athletic product and from everything we've seen so far they're just WWE but with extra flips.
Kenny and the Bucks are just too cringy and arrogant for this to work. There's nothing wrong with some jokes, but the Bucks entire schtick is "LeMemez" and it just isn't going to work on a mainstream big time level. I'm really rooting for them, but I don't think they'll pull it off.
Jackson Walker
Isn't that why it's important Cody is there to reign them in?
Luis Reed
>pro-wrestling >mainstream
Samuel Adams
Cody doesnt seem to be doing much reigning in as he should like legit anyone who books those Librarians TWICE is fucking dead to me. Doesn't help that Kenny is already crying about WWE taking their viewers with of all things an EVOLVE show lmao
Nathan Howard
they should just put Cody in charge
Benjamin Sanchez
>B-Brandi can I have another PPV? >No Cody you arent allowed up past 9, now I have to go, Big E and Xavier Woods asked to see some contracts again >But this is the fourth time this month >I know but its for the greater good of our company
Ian Bell
Fox signs a 100 year deal with WWE.
Jonathan Fisher
The Bucks will retire like they said they will, Omega will go to japan because the E would offer him money just to punish him with a dancing gimmik (same with Cody)
David Gray
>So i think they will be happy with moderate ratings and a hardcore fanbase. I'm sure TNT will be thrilled with this
John Gutierrez
>we are the competition for WWE >WWE please stop competing with us
Kenny showing the world who really carried the Omega v Okada matches
Jordan Hall
To be fair, Kenny never really waged war against WWE. But I do think he's a pussy for not doing so and should be a man about it. You're competing with Vince, grow a spine.

Sebastian Rodriguez
Wrestling in the united states is dying a slow death and AEW is just going to accelerate it
AEW will fail within three years and it will hurt WWE by doing so. Advertisers wont want anything to do with this wacky manlet flip comedy skit "sport" ever again
Tyler Ross
Kenny didn't but hes part of the company who did. Moxley did it and Cody did it.
Caleb Roberts
Fuck off, E Drone I can feel the cope and seething coming off of every word you typed
Adam Moore
I know I shouldnt take the bait, but fuck it. Heres a (you)
[spoiler] I dont want AEW to fail at all. If anything it being something of a fire under WWEs ass can only be a good thing failure or not.[/spoiler]
Cooper Perez
NJPW never competed with the WWE. It was the cringy westerners working there who started sniffing their own farts because of Meltzer deliberately overrating new japan matches after styles and nakamura left to get smarks to keep watching it
David Hall
>NJPW I didnt say NJPW this is about AEW.
Moxley and Cody both started shit during DoN (Cody with the throne and Moxley in his backstage promo literally saying "this is a war"
Jose Smith
>7347469 >seething so much he gave him a (you)
Jace Gray
Who's gonna be the first to crawl back to Vince?
Isaiah Baker
None. If AEW fails, I don't suspect them to crawl back to Vince, they're too prideful and stubborn to do it. They'd either go back to NJPW, ROH, IMPACT or retire.
Daniel Morris
>crawl back Only Cody worked for Vince
Aaron Anderson
>Doesn't help that Kenny is already crying about WWE taking their viewers with of all things an EVOLVE show lmao Yeah but come on, they've lent out Bobby Fish. How can any billionaire-backed federation compete against that?
Caleb Edwards
>who's Dean Ambrose? >who's le ten man? >who's half of the aew roster?
Dylan Flores
>Jericho >DEAN >10 man
Leo Ortiz
They aren't considered the founders though

As usual in any aew thread , dumb people comes to say dumb shit. How can they be tna 2.0 when they already achieved more than TNA ever did in its entire lifetime motherfuckers?!
John Brown
Why do you have extra periods in your sentence? You got a hand stutter or some shit, idiot?
