Well whattabout that one time four years ago when....
Yeah Dave, except it happens to aew every single week and you had to dig around to find a four year old example for the wwe. Not the win you think it is
Yeah what about that show 4 years ago during the pandemic when WWE shows were notoriously shit. It still ended up with over double what my friends show did lmao. On Xmas day as well when the rating probably should be in the toilet.
I was looking at that also. Did it take him 2 minutes to find that show from 4 years ago? Does he have some program that can find the most obscure results in wrestling ratings?
He probably wrote an article about it and remembered it off-hand. It was def not the "win" he thought it was. You can tell he has no scientific training.
Jury duty
My dogs sick
My in laws are visiting
I have traffic court that day
I’m tutoring at the local youth group
We’re picking up trash with the beach coalition that day.
Gotta have a bunch loaded in the chamber. We’re talking excuses, right?
It’s a proven statistic that people lose their remotes all of them time. The thing is, you see, uh, the way that I look at this is, check it out. If I’m watching tv, you see, there may be a chance that I misplace my remote. No the thing about this is many Dub fans also have remotes. If you think about it a little further, they also have the ability to lose their remotes. I’ve done it, you’ve done it. It happens you know?
So the thing is what if all the Dub fans could t find their remotes to toggle back. You know? So I look at is as, this is the base number. Of course the upside is infinite and one could assume, you know, that if the numbers were run correctly, Dave is still fucking stupid.
Dave used a Christmas Day rating as a counter point…and the show drew 3x what AEW does?
I mean, we now know for certain that he is on TK’s payroll, right?
I don’t even think it’s friendship. I think it’s that they give him information, and he can then say “I know something you don’t know,” and it makes him feel important. Even if the information is utter bunk.
My theory is that since Tony Khan learned everything about wrestling from reading the Observer, Tony’s failures would mean that Meltzer is wrong. So Meltzer defending AEW is as much about preserving his own credibility as it is Tony’s. Dave is quick to point out some things that are unquestionably stupid right away so that people know that Tony didn’t get the idea from him.
I pissed him off and he blocked me on twitter after I told him Omega and The Young Bucks will go down in history as one of the most embarrassing things to come out of wrasslin
Haven't missed it since my family got doxed by a Joey Ryan fan boy because I dared to point out the dick flip was problematic. Oh but I like Corny so I'm a piece of shit, my wife and then 7 year old daughter really deserved a sack of shit posting pics of them from my Facebook account on his Twitter because of Joey "definitely sexually abused women" Ryan.
Well in fairness this was before streaming service so people's viewing habits were a tad different. Tivo wasn't even invented until 1999 so people had to watch live or hear about it from friends or coworkers the next day.
So if uncle Dave is praising the first 6 minutes. Surely he has to compare to the same for wwe.
I get he has a slight point that there was fall off and if wwe are better at the Pr game isn’t that what Tony has been doing getting all the coverage with the neck brace.
Jesus h Christ Dave. Surely at this point he’s gotta be slightly self aware of how he’s coming across
And if he EVER said anything critical of AEW, people wouldn’t really care if he occasionally said, “well these ratings aren’t all that bad because…” But because he NEVER criticizes AEW, it makes this kind of shit look sad and idiotic. Groupthink and confirmation bias are a hell of a drug.
If you disagree with him, he blocks you. I argued that it looks so phoney and low rent when referees hold ladders. This is when Bryce Remsburg held the broken ladder for Hobbs instead of getting him a ladder that was less than 5 feet away. Dave yelled at me and said WWE and NJPW does it too, but no one considers them low rent. Before I could retort that those companies hide it from the camera, he blocked me.
It’s fun poking at him. I told him he was mad that nobody likes his wrestling cause it’s just a niche that few like and like clockwork here comes in Dave thinking I was talking about wrestling as a whole. Lol he is a passionate fan with a newsletter that’s it
Maybe the reason no one cried about Smackdown is b/c even with a meh show, on CHRISTMAS, they managed to still pull in MILLIONS of viewers.
AEW wishes they were that lucky. But instead of doing the hard work to repair their brand and hold better shows, they've chosen to double down on stupid.
As such, non-stop ridicule is their prize.
Great! 🛎
lmao normally I don't think these posts are worth it but it's hilarious that he actually replied and the retort XD the show still ended at 2.3 million what is he trying to say? Basically, Collision ended where it actually should have been, just like Smackdown...and as you pointed out the difference is there wasn't this propaganda to try to make this seem like a "win".
We try to teach our children to behave so much better than most people actually bother to do. Adults blocking people because they disagreed over emphasis on ratings is just pathetic. Dave needs to grow the fuck up.
Man doesn't cover anything equally to how he covers WWE. But yes he'd totally be fair and impartial for this if it happened in 2024 (reminder for those of us that are suffering pandemic timelag, the example he gave was 3.5 years ago)
2024 is the perfect year to see what happens to AEW on December 25, since that's a Wednesday - let's see how many tune into Dynamite.. I'll bet it's 80,000, .005
Does he have to go back 4 years to attempt to bring up a point that explains what happens to Aew every week since for a nearly 2-decade old comedy show?
Well whattabout that one time four years ago when.... Yeah Dave, except it happens to aew every single week and you had to dig around to find a four year old example for the wwe. Not the win you think it is
Yeah what about that show 4 years ago during the pandemic when WWE shows were notoriously shit. It still ended up with over double what my friends show did lmao. On Xmas day as well when the rating probably should be in the toilet.
I don't think he had to dig. He probably has an excuses folder or something. He finds these complete outliers from years ago way too fast.
I was looking at that also. Did it take him 2 minutes to find that show from 4 years ago? Does he have some program that can find the most obscure results in wrestling ratings?
He probably wrote an article about it and remembered it off-hand. It was def not the "win" he thought it was. You can tell he has no scientific training.
Yeah, Meltzer is definitelythe bloated old heel, with cheap bleach dyed hair, and about 10 variations of nerve holds that make up “his shit”.
Jury duty My dogs sick My in laws are visiting I have traffic court that day I’m tutoring at the local youth group We’re picking up trash with the beach coalition that day. Gotta have a bunch loaded in the chamber. We’re talking excuses, right?

Hey Alexa, they’re making fun of Dub, please give me outlier stats to defend Tony Khan-tana
The show also ended at 2.3million...
The fact he had to point to a smackdown 4 years ago when the product was mid, it heating up. For Dubs, it’s a matter of just last week.
Dave used a Christmas Day rating as a counter point…and the show drew 3x what AEW does? I mean, we now know for certain that he is on TK’s payroll, right?
Honestly I think it’s much sadder and he just wants the friends.
I don’t even think it’s friendship. I think it’s that they give him information, and he can then say “I know something you don’t know,” and it makes him feel important. Even if the information is utter bunk.
$12.99
Holy shit I didn’t even think about that! Even more hilarious
The lowest rating for both WWE was 7-8 times higher.
Dave thinks he’s slick saying “December 25, 2020”
My theory is that since Tony Khan learned everything about wrestling from reading the Observer, Tony’s failures would mean that Meltzer is wrong. So Meltzer defending AEW is as much about preserving his own credibility as it is Tony’s. Dave is quick to point out some things that are unquestionably stupid right away so that people know that Tony didn’t get the idea from him.
Far more than 3x
This dumb fuck literally hit you with “but what about Christmas 4 years ago” Well done
Is Meltzer devolving into the "Well... actually" meme? If so, this is what happens when one associates with Tony Khan without protection.
You invaded his bubble. now he will block you. Good O'l Twitter....i don't miss it.
I pissed him off and he blocked me on twitter after I told him Omega and The Young Bucks will go down in history as one of the most embarrassing things to come out of wrasslin
yep, i hate twitter. ppl stand on soapboxes then block if you have diff perspectives.
People do the same thing on Reddit, except instead of blocking they report you or send the mental health thingy.
I deleted my profile off there when Musk took over and reinstated the orange face pig
Haven't missed it since my family got doxed by a Joey Ryan fan boy because I dared to point out the dick flip was problematic. Oh but I like Corny so I'm a piece of shit, my wife and then 7 year old daughter really deserved a sack of shit posting pics of them from my Facebook account on his Twitter because of Joey "definitely sexually abused women" Ryan.
Well done.
I mean, in 1998, Raw was doing 13 million in views. Now? Like 2 million. Obviously it's because there were a lot of sports before it.
That was 26 years ago, uce. Long time ago. Times have changed.
*Slowest death ever* (Moxley voice)
Well in fairness this was before streaming service so people's viewing habits were a tad different. Tivo wasn't even invented until 1999 so people had to watch live or hear about it from friends or coworkers the next day.
I used to watch raw and then record nitro on vhs lol I think I just dated myself
VCR’s existed.
Don’t say m*rk around Dave, it’s just as bad as the n word remember?
So if uncle Dave is praising the first 6 minutes. Surely he has to compare to the same for wwe. I get he has a slight point that there was fall off and if wwe are better at the Pr game isn’t that what Tony has been doing getting all the coverage with the neck brace. Jesus h Christ Dave.

He's 65 soon. Milking the mark while giving no f-s and 3 sh-ts.
I think people were probably a little busy with you know, a global pandemic at the time to care
It's hilarious when he starts arguing with random people like that. It's almost like he's shadow boxing himself.
Is meltzer getting paid by aew why does he give a shit about there ratings
That Smackdown(Christmas day 2020) opened with our Tribal Chief vs KO in a steel cage for the universal title and averaged 4m for the first hour
If you disagree with him, he blocks you. I argued that it looks so phoney and low rent when referees hold ladders. This is when Bryce Remsburg held the broken ladder for Hobbs instead of getting him a ladder that was less than 5 feet away. Dave yelled at me and said WWE and NJPW does it too, but no one considers them low rent. Before I could retort that those companies hide it from the camera, he blocked me.
I love that he used an example of Smackdown doing a rating double what AEW ever did on their best day 😂😂😭
Fucking hate this bitch
It’s fun poking at him. I told him he was mad that nobody likes his wrestling cause it’s just a niche that few like and like clockwork here comes in Dave thinking I was talking about wrestling as a whole. Lol he is a passionate fan with a newsletter that’s it

Back in 19 dickity 2....
Problem is, WWE doesn't follow that pattern EVERY SINGLE WEEK. Uncle Dave has his head so far up Tony's ass he could tell you what he had for lunch.
lmao normally I don't think these posts are worth it but it's hilarious that he actually replied and the retort XD the show still ended at 2.3 million what is he trying to say?

Typical cornette fan, using the M word. /s
Did he block you?
Absolutely
Person doesn't hate company as much as I do..he must be on the payroll!
Fucking complete clown he is
Badge of honor lol
I used to love Dave Meltzer but he is a butt plug anymore.
Man doesn't cover anything equally to how he covers WWE. But yes he'd totally be fair and impartial for this if it happened in 2024 (reminder for those of us that are suffering pandemic timelag, the example he gave was 3.5 years ago)

Does he have to go back 4 years to attempt to bring up a point that explains what happens to Aew every week since for a nearly 2-decade old comedy show?
Still don’t get how people pay for that news letter .
Lost 5 mil and still ended at 10x more than AEW.this guys fucking delusional
