This is pwg

PWG has always done shit like this though. In PWG Kayfabe, Liger has such a powerful asshole that he forces wrestlers to stick their thumb up his ass and he then walks around the ring like a boss.

Ya transitoning? ya dilatin?

holy seethe

What's fun about the same joke over and over?

BASED AND ORANGEPILLED

Failing to see how this is any worse than a guy who pretends to be Mr. Rogers or a guy who pretends to be retarded or a guy dressed as a Canadian mountie/trashman/repo driver.

Reminder this a young bucks guy

No, they won't.

Because those things are characters that don't reveal the falsity of wrestling by necessity you fucking brainlet, they're just exaggerations.

WHAT?

>a joke that you repeat every single match in the same boring way is the same as something that pads the promos of someone with actual charisma
The state.

Reminder that the only company that has experienced consistent growth is one that largely adheres to and respects it's characters and their realism within the story.
Reminder that American wrestling now openly winks at the audience and is dying.

Nobody believes wrestling is real anymore aside from very young children.

Poor Taurus

>doesn't know pro wrestling is about doing the same thing over and over

The only adults that get into wrestling that aren't maladjusted retards get into it thanks to comedy matches.

Did you guys see his presser he did for AEW? I’m guessing not but that guy can not handle live crowds when he has to talk in character.

I ain't reading that shit nigga you gay

>my little dog pockets is gonna be on tv
fucking retarded

Anyway, wrestling can be fun

AEW flopping will be glorious to watch

>Evil Uno
Why are you mad at him? He never did anything important

46% of people who ordered All Out ordered Double or Nothing. It means they retained 40% of that paying audience that were willing to check out Double or Nothing before it was even really promoted. These are the hardcores. There's no way around that being bad. You are closer to a third of people turning into repeat customers than even half.

And if you line up that floating audience that tunes into WWE when it is promoted to a 20x increase for TV from PPV, then it pretty much matches up to a 40% decrease in viewership too. By that I mean I think they should be able to get 3.26 million eyeballs out the gate, but when you consider the business they do on PPV with the hardcore fans, a 60% decrease is 1.3 million, while 20x 63k buys is 1.26 million. I think it's a fairly safe bet that they're going to end up around that mark. They will call that a success, and it is to an extent, but when NXT starts to attract more people, it will be obvious that AEW is just another TNA. They should be aiming to be WCW. Especially when it's that delicious TV money that makes this an appealing venture and is the selling point to more billionaires getting involved in wrestling. I can't see TNT cancelling a show doing those numbers, but will they break bank or just cover production costs? They're not really the sort of numbers that are worth $200 million for the show. Will Tony Khan be able to keep paying Jericho and JR, for example, those giant contracts? How much does AEW need to do on PPV to be profitable? If they end up doing about 64k buys a show and there's a 50/50 split with AEW and PPV, that has each PPV making them $1.6 million and then there's $1.6 million to split between AEW and Warner. If that is 50/50 again (and that would be generous to AEW), then they'll getting about $800,000 a PPV. I imagine each show would cost about that much to put on. Those are just domestic numbers of course, but this isn't necessarily going to be a giant money-making machine with that scope.

That 40% retention rate is something to keep an eye on, because these are first impressions, and turning off people at that rate highlights that the people who accuse people like Jim Cornette of being out of touch are actually out of touch themselves. It also means that there is room for a product that caters to that 60%. There could potentially be something bigger than AEW. Whether that is filled by someone new or an investor that decides to back MLW or the NWA. It can be hard to get pre-existing brands noticed. But those 60% of people could be close to 2 million viewers on basic cable and could be close to 100k domestic buys on PPV on their own. That says nothing of the 40% who like AEW and would probably watch something good, WWE fans who could use something else, and the lapsed pro-wrestling fan that doesn't like WWE anymore or never even liked the WWF.

My optimism for the future of wrestling lies in NXT changing the perception that the WWE needs Vince McMahon, so he can step away and let things be run autonomously and that someone in wrestling that is keeping an eye on this gets the ear of a billionaire and points out all the money being left on the table by All Elite. People wonder why Vince gave Heyman and Bischoff the positions he did. It's not because he's worried about them going to AEW (although Heyman would be a concern), but rather he probably wants the people who can whisper to TV executives that "there's a slice being forgotten here."

Care to extrapolate?

His physique is probably one of the if not THE worst physiques ever in wrestling.

It's PWG.

Have you ever watched an Orange Cassidy match? You know opponents don't actually sell his lazy kicks and chops, right? The only time he actually gets meaningful offense is when he starts his comeback after the heel beats the shit out of him for fucking around.

Based and Inokipilled

PWG and Chikara are Indies for a reason. That stuff won't fly as much. Though what do I know, one of the most memorable things about the "glory days" is Mae Young birthing a hand and Al Snow talking to a plastic head.

Holy fuck, no one cares and no one is reading all of that.

bumpy wumpy trannies grumpy

At least this guy knows the line. On house show he will do this dumb shit. On TV he will do a no handed suicide dive. very different
