The "curious" case of Triple K

[Rell84shots]

This isn't true. MJF was widely considered a "draw" for AEW up until the entire company started losing viewership because of the incredibly lazy/bad booking they had going on.

I remember seeing MJF pulling up million quarter hours even with the Adam Cole feud. Same with Omega. Even Mercedes had high quarters when she first came in.

Now it's all a moot point because there's no way to know what the viewership on Max is. What we do know is that the PPV business is still very lucrative for them. They had over 11k at least at the Crypt the other night and the buyrate ended up being 140,000 at $50 per buy. That's on the backs of the talents I just named to go with Toni Storm and Swerve and maybe a couple others.

Where's the verification on that? Because AEW is privately owned so they don't have to disclose the real numbers. As for MJF the hype is pretty much dead with him, which is why his own segments don't do that great a number anymore.

Welcome to the fukk the Fed club.

Anyone saying "the fed" is already lame, plus you've been acting like this since way before new ownership took over.

So in this same context, does this apply to wrestlers of other demographics? Dragon Lee ain't settin' the world on fire, nor has Santos Escobar, and Andrade is just doing OK I guess... does that have ANYTHING to do with PENTA? Black wrestlers are not monolithic, just like anyone else of any other race/nationality/gender are not... Oba Femi in NXT alone is far more charismatic and interesting than say, Apollo Crews or Omos have ever been on the main roster- why would we automatically believe his trajectory would be the same as theirs without actually seeing what happens?

I'm black so I focus on how black wrestlers are being treated. If other racial demos have a problem with HHH's booking of their people then they can speak up. You continue to act like we don't already have enough evidence to see just how horrible HHH books black talent.

They don't have to... they numbers can be obtained by the PPV providers

If the ppv provider said it then cool, I thought you were quoting Meltzer math.

Nah, PPV buys are something that can't be hidden. Good or bad, the number is the number.

what’s up with son

Cboz or the other dude?

Cboz is one of those white dudes who have a weirdo obsession with something and will go to the end of the earth to defend it unecessarily. He’s like cattle with AEW but like 10x worse because he doesn’t actually think he’s a WWE shill even though he spends his time across here, Reddit, and youtube defending all things WWE

That Danj nicca just recycling Liggins old gimmick for arguments sake.

Yeah Cattle is disingenious AF with his takes

So instead of acknowledging the root of the question, you're gonna say "they Mexican so IDC" ... I'll try again: my question to you is, do you believe that all black wrestlers are monolithic and should all get the same push, even if some obviously stand out more than others? Because I'll say yes, I believe Oba Femi has INFINITELY more upside than an Omos, or Apollo, or even Carmelo, and is therefore likely to get a greater push than they're currently getting if he should hit the roster any time soon. Just my opinion. If he doesn't, I'll join the groupthink and say it's deliberate racism. In the meantime, I'm viewing different than you are- I want more black wrestlers on the roster, you want tokenism to take place with who's currently around. Either perspective is cool, long as we ain't losing sight of what's what.

Why is Sami going to this shyt

Why is Sami going to this shyt

Ibou really needs to go away, having said that there's really no reason to do this event or have this racist hack be involved. Remember when I said AEW could regain momentum if the WWE started fukking themselves up? Welp let's see if this starts the downward trend.

This is just insane yo- im done supporting WWE as long as this moronic mediocre manipulative malevolent dipshyt is running the show

Did they feature clips of him when he was at the Trump rally at MSG???

 

[br82186]

Also how much y'all wanna be that Miz and Stroman went out of their ways to get a spot???

For context Storman is MAGA and Miz is cool with alot of those folks.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Not to give Sami a pass or anything but I think he's going simply because he's trying to be a standup comedian. His politics have never aligned with MAGA but hey we'll see

 

[R=G]

Wow

 

[Rell84shots]

Wow

This thread is about racism, put this shyt in another thread

Aligning with someone who would gladly deport you if they could is some next level debasing though
