Ratings are really important to wrestling because the bulk of money is made via television deals. They are arguably 10 times more important than they were during the Monday Night War. From what Meltzer is saying, AEW showed a bigger drop than most other shows during the Thanksgiving weekend. This is not a good number. That said, I do hope they do not panic and keep sticking to what they are doing, and taking feedback and learning along the way. Pulling a Bischoff will only worsen things long-term.

Yeah, they should be out on Monday.

Why is Roman always booked with midcarders

Tony has been so much better than JR, but perhaps 20 years of Vince screaming in JR's ears about what to say has made hin perennially grumpy.

WWE has burned me too many times for me to invest in any of their shows, but Keith Lee as badass babyface NXT champ will definitely get me hooked again. Give him an Asuka-like title run.

Perhaps even they realise that the debut felt a bit flat.

Apparently, he accepted Mox's challenge and they might have a match next week. If true, I hope that's just Mox destroying him for 5 minutes straight, and Janela getting a 30-second comeback spot before Mox kills him

I don't advocate him being fired for this comment, mind you. But I do advocate him being fired for being terrible at his job. Today really showed how much they need Tony, cuz 2019 JR honestly sucks at commentary imo.

It's honestly as racist as the fried chicken bullshit, but anti-Asian (and even anti-Indian) racism does not get nearly as traction, and he does not have a huge bulls-eye on his ass like Cornette. But he should be getting criticised for this.

Sasha retweeted this. This meme's going to be great.

I'm all for Mox and Jericho feuding next. Jericho gave Sky a couple of excellent near falls. I like the fact that faces are submitting to heel submission holds in the main event.

Are they not allowed to say codebreaker?

Jericho is the wrestler of the year. This episode in particular would have been poor if not for him.

J.R just needs to go away forever.

Groin--kick party >>>>>> superkick party

MJF has nuclear heat. He is going to be a star.

Yeah, that's true. The number of people just hoping/waiting for AEW to fail is many, and that's quite sad.

See, it's not hard to do inset vignettes! Do it for everybody, AEW!

They really need to do more vignettes. If nothing else, put them on Twitter and social media prior to debuting them, so the reaction is not blunted by utter confusion.

That looks like a hoss tag team, and I am all for it, because the AEW tag division needs a hoss team.

Business just picked up.

First time I am seeing her, and I'm really impressed. And I know the Sears Centre will be hot no matter what, but she seemed over with the crowd right away.

He is so cringe on commentary. This makes me want to go watch all the old episodes of Raw and Nitro to re-evaluate whether Tony was always better than JR.

Taker made a good point about less is more and how he literally forced himself to slow down even though it bothered him that he was not having matches as good as Bret Hart, but as he said "I couldn't get in my own way." My issue with Omega is that too often, his character seems to be someone who has excellent matches, and I don't think that's a good wrestling character. It was bad when it became Shawn Michaels's character, and it's bad now. Who introduces themselves as "the best bout machine"?
