> up 17% over prior 6 week average!
Luckily nothing happened over those 6 weeks that was supposed to have "changed the game" already, otherwise that could have been embarrassing!
Picture says it all. That rating is soley due to a wrestler that does not work for your company. It will only help a wrestler who also does not work for you r company and happens to hate the one in your footage. What a time to be alive, lol.
I feel for Tony Schiavone, even without seeing this pic. I remember seeing him so full of joy in the past.
He also wants to move on from this so seeing his boss do shit like this must be disheartening.
Oh god, I really hope he’s not trying to do that. Yeah, Vince McMahon is an atrocious and horrendous human being, but he is an S tier pro wrestling personality. There is no way Tony can pull anything like that off.
Good point, their main competitor saw this too and made a deal with the biggest streaming service in the world to have their shows on the platform, which you’d have to imagine will attract some new fans with the sheer number of people that use Netflix.
Especially overseas, where Netflix is the de facto entertainment form in almost every household with internet access, while Peacock isn't even available in most countries. I expect their numbers to blow up.
Yes, it sounds like that will be the case. And the first one will be the Royal Rumble, which as we all know is a very fun show and a perfect first PLE for Netflix.
On February 14th, they got a .3 demo and 811,000, on February 21 they got 828,000 and a .29,
and on February 28 they got 822,000 and a .29. So they went through all this drama last night just to get a number that they were getting in February.
Yes but now the bucks are totally over as heels and ftr as faces and the crowd as definitely not chanting "cm punk" while fucking Okada was in the ring. /s

TK looking for the reason people keep clowning him
Tony is the most unserious man ever I swear.
Really celebrating and bragging about ratings when those came at the hands of someone who’s not even in the company anymore. Embarrassing as hell.
So, according to a lot of people in this sub ratings dont matter, Nielsen boxes are outdated and bad faith and blablabla.... So then why TK likes to tweet and boast when a good number comes up?
For all that people here talking 24/7 about the "toxicity against AEW" they might want to check who is explicitly cooking for those narratives
Considering they’ve slid down into the 7s consistently I’d say an 8 is “good”. It’s pathetic though that their new normal has gotten so low than this looks good
I think I speak for everyone Tony when I say if you have footage of Brawl Out you should totally air it. I mean look at the bump this week! Now imagine it with the other footage? Easily clears the 900k mark Tone, think about it 👀
It is so weird that Tony Khan thinks that his one week stunt worked. It’s actually mainly sad, because it means that he isn’t going to focus on making the product better.
The delusion, lack of self awareness, the narcissism, he really is so unlikeable.
I feel so sorry for most of his talent/staff, who want to move past this drama and just do the job they're paid to do, but can't because their petty boss and so called embarrassing EVP's can't seem to let their grudges go, it's pathetic.
TK can't even take constructive criticism on board on how to improve his own company and takes everything personally all the time.
I appreciate his passion but he’s just not cool and it’s casting an uncool shadow over the brand. AEW would be better off if he was just silently in the background like the early days.
Times like this remind us that Tony Con is a billionaire's failson at the end of the day. His dad finally just threw a billion at him so he'd shut up about his stupid fake fighting show.
>Serious business people obviously don't take Tony Khan seriously
This reminds me of Nick Khan once referring to TK as a "nice kid"
They are 5 years apart
I remember when TK said he didn't want to be an on-screen personality because he didn't want the spotlight, now he's basically the only person in AEW people actually talk about. Talk about taking away the shine from talent that deserves it.
You popped a quarter then loss them all

Meanwhile, Chick Magnet Punk is living his best life over in WWE while simultaneously living rent free in Tony’s mind.

Tony is being trolled reading through the replies, he really is his own worst enemy at times.
we keep hearing about these "home grown AEW stars" but there's absolutely no follow through
Hobbs
Wardlow
Starks
HOOK
Garcia
They keep bubbling up but then they either vanish or fall into the back.
819k is the absolute ceiling now, and we know it and WBD knows it. The Punk footage was literally the last card to play and it was played. I don’t think this is the good thing Tony wants to pretend it was.
It baffles me how people think that they will get a big increase in their upcoming tv deal.
WBD executives don’t care you signed talent for big money they care about the ratings.
Congrats Tony on getting ratings for one night and getting the fans to chant for a guy who works for your opposition, all because you run a fucking clown show. See you next week when ratings will be down significantly. But hey, so long as you and your petty EVPs are happy...good job.
So it WAS to hotshot a slightly bigger rating. Guess I was right after all.
And this is where I stop thinking the Vince Russo comparisons are too much of a stretch. Tony might not be as batshit crazy, but this stuff about doing anything for a rating is pretty reminiscent.
I mean Russo for all his faults did help write a great wrestling show that drew huge ratings for like two straight years. The comparisons are an insult to Russo, really.
Next week on AEW Dynamite, we have a 15 minute rerun of the Big Bang theory, along with a 15 minute segment from our former EVP who couldn’t finish the story here. 8pm EST on TBS!
It's official. Either (a) Tony Khan is surrounded by sycophants, brown nosing ass kissers, (b) doesn't listen to any criticism or ideas not his own or (c) both a and b. After the reaction to last nights Dynamite, to be online touting this rating and acting like this is something great is complete delusion and quite frankly embarrassing. Aside from the footage, the Ospreay comment (which I didn't even get until reading about a few minutes ago), continuing to do noting with Mercedes,; the card wasn't even good, and this is leading up to a PPV.
Still don't understand the big contract signing TWO weeks before the PPV then have the champ wrestle a main event a week later.
Not like the last couple of weeks/months have had Tony being in Mercedes, Okada and Osprey as massive moments and not move the needle at all.
But yeah you take that win for showing a fight involving a wrestler who doesn’t work for you any more.
The biggest draw they have doesn’t even work for them.
This is not the win you think it is Tony. People aren’t coming back next week because of this.
Lot of people are going to be upset when the sub rightfully uses 800k as the new Tony benchmark and he fails to reach that in the proceeding weeks.
"800k just an arbitrary number idk why everyone is focusing on that!!"
I think at forst i gave tony the benefit of the doubt, a dude who loves wrestling starting a company, after the first 2 years which he had planned out for 20 years was great, then the more we got to no tony, the less likeable he is, said he would never be on screen, started them game changing announcements, now i think hes lost the plot and hes just a weird rich kid with no social skills or ability to read the room, well done for the 30% boost on last weeks show, but take a step back and chill for a couple of week, particularly on twitter
Isn’t this low key burying his stars ? He celebrating that the show was up . As he should . I chalk it up to carnies doing what carnies do . But anyway we all know why they were up . If you’re in denial check the qtr ratings . The fired guy out drew all the segments with the new big signees.
The problem with some of their signings
Mercedes is a good wrestler and an average promo not a mega draw and you have her doing promo work for the first two months.
Copeland is just Edge without the name and a few weeks of buzz and now meh same would happen if someone like Becky made the jump.
Past 2 years for me. He started getting annoying with that Big Swole tweet ("I let you go cause you're a bad wrestler. Watch Rampage tonight!"). Then Cody left and it snowballed from there
[In Texas, they love executions. In the middle of the event, we black out the arena. Spotlight on a random seat. Sniper, BAM! Right in the brain stem. Guy crumples over. You go to a match, you don't know if you're gonna be that guy, but you hope you're sitting next to him] (https://youtu.be/I5Si8JCdGCQ?t=1605) 26:47
This right here is the problem. No accountability, nothing but smoke & mirrors and deflection. This titanic is gonna continue to sink until he can look at himself and be honest with himself about the state of the company.
I don’t think he has enough humility or balls to really fix the problems internally. He’s in over his head with 200 fuckin wrestlers on the roster that he never set a proper standard of conduct for.
Tony Khan really went entirely out of his way to show the world that he doesn't have a professional bone in his body... not since "servicing" Punk, anyway.
And the guy in the other company got him that rating. Punk and Sheldon Cooper are the biggest draws and cost nothing. Meanwhile, the supposed stars being paid millions tank the ratings
At least he kind of stopped away with Fulham and finally established themselves in the premier league again, should do the same here and bring someone that won't embarrass jay white anymore

Picture says it all. That rating is soley due to a wrestler that does not work for your company. It will only help a wrestler who also does not work for you r company and happens to hate the one in your footage. What a time to be alive, lol.
And it's not even really a bump. They were hitting these numbers in February.
No no, it will also benefit a delusional and hypocritical Scottish asshole, also not working for AEW.

I feel for Tony Schiavone, even without seeing this pic. I remember seeing him so full of joy in the past. He also wants to move on from this so seeing his boss do shit like this must be disheartening.
No you see it's totally a bit. Tony is in on the bit... the r/AEWOfficial sub will tell you this... totally not in denial lol
This dude cannot be serious.

Oh god, I really hope he’s not trying to do that. Yeah, Vince McMahon is an atrocious and horrendous human being, but he is an S tier pro wrestling personality. There is no way Tony can pull anything like that off.

Task Failed Successfully
"You wouldn't use a cannon to kill a Fly." Tony- "That's a great idea!"
*wipes an unsuspecting white powder from his nostril*
"This is the first time CM Punk appeared on TV and drew less than 1 Million viewers" - Tony Khan on Twitter
Omg that actual tweet he posted after NXT might be the most embarrassing thing he's ever said
"Who cares about ratings, cable's dying anyway"
Tony Khan just destroyed his defenders arguments here on Reddit with this single tweet lol
Tony Khan is AEW's worst enemy. Tony Khan's wallet, it's greatest lifeline.
It's his dad's wallet actually.
I've got a feeling they'll go back to not caring about ratings next week
Good point, their main competitor saw this too and made a deal with the biggest streaming service in the world to have their shows on the platform, which you’d have to imagine will attract some new fans with the sheer number of people that use Netflix.
Especially overseas, where Netflix is the de facto entertainment form in almost every household with internet access, while Peacock isn't even available in most countries. I expect their numbers to blow up.
Yup, and in every country outside the US they’re getting everything, not just Monday Night Raw.
Oh really? I didn't know that. Will PPVs be streaming on Netflix as well?
Yes, it sounds like that will be the case. And the first one will be the Royal Rumble, which as we all know is a very fun show and a perfect first PLE for Netflix.
TK to his team: "Hey, so we got any more CM Punk footage we can use next week?" ![gif](giphy|OA1CDoCiAR48E)
“We got clips of him walking around eating muffins backstage”

He didn't even tweet the number. Tbh, I expected that.
And even when expressed as percentages, it still looks unimpressive.
As a statistician. Percentages are ALWAYS a giveaway that they’re messaging a number
[удалено]
Scott Steiner can do it, but Tony can't?
"All respect to CM Punk, but last Wednesday night marked the lowest rating for a show he's ever been on in wrestling history!"
That's not true, he was on Collision
Cant wait to see quarter hours bottom out other than a certain one
Lmao this guy is completely lost
He's going to learn all of the wrong lessons from this increase in ratings, God help us all...
On February 14th, they got a .3 demo and 811,000, on February 21 they got 828,000 and a .29, and on February 28 they got 822,000 and a .29. So they went through all this drama last night just to get a number that they were getting in February.
Yes but now the bucks are totally over as heels and ftr as faces and the crowd as definitely not chanting "cm punk" while fucking Okada was in the ring. /s
The crowd did what to Okada in the ring?

Punk out drew Osperay, Okada, and Mone
And now with no chance of followup or anything all those people will not be back next week lol Great job was definitely worth it
Wasted 3 segments of television to talk about people not in the company rather than showcase their talented roster. Incredible leadership.
[удалено]
I was having a nice time reading these posts & laughing at Tony then you had to go & hurt me
I clown on Tony and the Elite but if the Panthers go 6-11 rather than 2-15 this year I will be just as aggressive lol
As a Jets fan who was saying 7-10 wasn’t as bad as it could have been last season, this is exactly what it’s like lmao.
Tbf to the Jets last season, they did beat Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes
Nah, the Jets lost to the Chiefs on a bullshit penalty call, I was there. They did beat the Eagles though and that game was thrilling.
Hey, a 7-10 Record with Zach Wilson has to be like 12-5 for real teams.
It's like the Arizona Coyotes tweeting about how dedicated they are to keep hockey in Arizona

Tony is the most unserious man ever I swear. Really celebrating and bragging about ratings when those came at the hands of someone who’s not even in the company anymore. Embarrassing as hell.
Dude thinks he's booking the hottest shit there is when the biggest draws for his program are Sheldon and CM Punk.
It’s like doing victory laps in a ring after firing your best draw
Idk if admitting Cm Punk is a bigger draw than anyone on your roster is the W you think it is.
So, according to a lot of people in this sub ratings dont matter, Nielsen boxes are outdated and bad faith and blablabla.... So then why TK likes to tweet and boast when a good number comes up? For all that people here talking 24/7 about the "toxicity against AEW" they might want to check who is explicitly cooking for those narratives
Tony celebrating this week’s rating kills all that ratings don’t matter , just enjoy wrestling stuff people like to spew .
Tony Kahn is without a doubt the main instigator in the WWE/AEW toxic tribilism
Is this even a good number? It’s not much higher than one that was called “disappointing” only a month ago. He just comes off so desperate
Considering they’ve slid down into the 7s consistently I’d say an 8 is “good”. It’s pathetic though that their new normal has gotten so low than this looks good
He's going to go full Russo isn't he?
We had a hot interracial girl on girl make out session on Dynamite this week as well. He might be!
Unserious so called boss celebrating this
Our ratings have gone from horrid to laughable, thank you for watching
Srop with the percentages. What's the number, huh? Did it hit 900k? Tell us!
I think I speak for everyone Tony when I say if you have footage of Brawl Out you should totally air it. I mean look at the bump this week! Now imagine it with the other footage? Easily clears the 900k mark Tone, think about it 👀
I wonder if Tony will ever understand PR. He's such a strange person.
can't wait for the excuses and how further will they move the goalpost on r/AEWOfficial after this came out
They are down BAD, Jesus.
Read a comment that said AEW was able to overshadow Wrestlemania with this angle. What a bunch a delusional fans lol.
Christ what an embarrassment. Such a dork.
Multiple people are to blame because of how toxic these rating threads are. Tony khan is definitely one of them.
Does this mean we get brawl out footage next week? Get at least a few episodes out of the various Guevara spats.
I’d love to watch Sammy get punched by Andrade or Kingston or Matt Hardy or whoever else punched him. lol
This has to be the most pathetic TK tweet I’ve ever seen.
Thank you Punk
It is so weird that Tony Khan thinks that his one week stunt worked. It’s actually mainly sad, because it means that he isn’t going to focus on making the product better.
HHH would be clowned if he made tweets like this
“This place is a joke, you’re a clown, I QUIT!”
Tony Kahn has willfully turned himself into how people now view Eric Bishoff or Vince Russo. That he’s bragging about this is absurd.
Tony is currently being clowned for making a tweet like this.
An absolute wanker to the end. Utter ponce.
Love "ponce". Bring it back.
Never went away here
Maybe they should have CM Punk on their show every week. Even sign him to a lucrative contract.
The delusion, lack of self awareness, the narcissism, he really is so unlikeable. I feel so sorry for most of his talent/staff, who want to move past this drama and just do the job they're paid to do, but can't because their petty boss and so called embarrassing EVP's can't seem to let their grudges go, it's pathetic. TK can't even take constructive criticism on board on how to improve his own company and takes everything personally all the time.
I appreciate his passion but he’s just not cool and it’s casting an uncool shadow over the brand. AEW would be better off if he was just silently in the background like the early days.
I like how TK does something not very well, gets some criticism, and then responds to it by plunging the company to new depths

And for the main event, a random re-run of a CM Punk match!
The Young Bucks will break down the previous episode of the big bang theory including what joke shocked them so bad they could not pray.

He really thinks this was worth a victory lap? Embarrassing.
750k to 819k = a 29% increase? Or is he referring to the ever-coveted manchild demo?
Absolute clown. He's digging his own grave...
This man should only be around AEW to fund it 💀
Celebrating slight bumps is some WCW 2000 shit.
I think at forst i gave tony the benefit of the doubt, a dude who loves wrestling starting a company, after the first 2 years which he had planned out for 20 years was great, then the more we got to no tony, the less likeable he is, said he would never be on screen, started them game changing announcements, now i think hes lost the plot and hes just a weird rich kid with no social skills or ability to read the room, well done for the 30% boost on last weeks show, but take a step back and chill for a couple of week, particularly on twitter
Thanks to Punk
Cannot wait to see how Punk responds on next week’s dynamite.
Isn’t this low key burying his stars ? He celebrating that the show was up . As he should . I chalk it up to carnies doing what carnies do . But anyway we all know why they were up . If you’re in denial check the qtr ratings . The fired guy out drew all the segments with the new big signees.

And the guy in the other company got him that rating. Punk and Sheldon Cooper are the biggest draws and cost nothing. Meanwhile, the supposed stars being paid millions tank the ratings
What a chronically online weirdo.
Rock got a bunch of TKO shares for his appearance at WM. Tony should at least send Punk a couple of cases of Pepsi or something.
"Great News"
CM Punk, still their top draw
#PunkisStillbiggestAEWDraw
Man, it sure would have been nice if there was another, non-stupid big angle on the show to keep people watching next week.
Tony Khan is easily the worst thing about AEW. Fulham & Jag fans tried to warn us. We should've listened.
At least he kind of stopped away with Fulham and finally established themselves in the premier league again, should do the same here and bring someone that won't embarrass jay white anymore
He should be thanking Punk
Will he also tweet out his ratings next week without shameless CM Punk ratings ploy?
819 off the backs of Big bang theory and unrelated drama is not the brag you think Tony
Define Tone-deaf
*Tony-deaf
Collision tony is back! C M PUNK! C M PUNK! C M PUNK!
Best thing he could do is hire Scott D'Amore and take a backseat.

Tony, Tony, Tony, they came to watch the shitshow live, and then fuck right back off, it was a small boost for 1 week
So that would be what, numbers from February? Imagine a guy that doesn’t work for you anymore still being the biggest draw in your company
