I could give a flying fuck about AEW. But I am here for the ratings videos
"I could give a flying fuck" means that you do care, at least a little. I think it does, at least.
Less people are making fun of AEW, instead choosing to ignore it altogether.
@@giantmagicalduck3604 I think it's the opposite, because a "flying fuck" isn't a thing. So he cares so little that he's only willing to give something that doesn't exist.
Or it could have been a typo.
@@giantmagicalduck3604 His fucks flew away.
Same here favourite segment of the podcast not even too dunk on them I just find it interesting. Heck hope Jim does more with NXT ratings since they have. a surge now
Ratings haven’t been up since the insecurity footage aired.
tbf i watched that , i watched TKs bump the week after , and i was done. Havent even watched 1 match since
I’ve noticed the same thing. They’ve not been close to 800k weekly since.
They wanted the ratings and people only tuned in because of the footage. And after that and that terrible heel turn from Jack and the Bucks. And the poorly booked segment of Tony getting beat up. Plus, every cheesy thing the Bucks were doing after that. Fans just stopped watching.
Southpark reference. Nice!
Come on Jim, its not fair, this week AEW went against the opening of a new gas station, this one has a smoothie machine, no one can compete with that!
*Conrad voice*
According to Whatculture, Sean Ross and Meltzer...they went up against flying spaceships. Everyone was too busy outside watching the spaceships
It was july 10th the eve before free slushie day at 7-11 stores. People were gearing up. Totally understandable
AEW went up against The Summer and McDonald's haivng a new $5 deal 🍟🍔😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Turning off the TV during Jericho is the new WHAT chant.
T R U T H !
WHAT?
@@ZombifiedBuizelwhat
changing the channel*
Each week that goes by that comment that Chris Jericho made about them passing Raw one day will never not be funny.
They struggle for even 700k consistently now... looney tunes status.
I'm pretty sure Looney Tunes reruns do better
@@johnjones8888 Ouch.
When you have to hotshot MJF/Ospreay which should be an ALL-IN match for your 250th Dynamite, you know ratings are in bad shape. It will be even funnier when it still doesn't break 700k
Canadian Football has to have been a SIGNIFICANT negative impact on AEW ratings.🙃
I would rather watch Looney Tunes. Looking at the ratings, so would everyone else.
I wonder how Uncle Dave is gonna blame these ratings on something other than AEW being awful.
He literally blames it on WWF being hot right now.
@@thetimebinder just like wcw, and TNA, AEW can’t have good ratings because people would rather watch wwe.
A rerun of that one "very special" Mama's Family episode and a rebroadcast of one of the less popular Star Wars movies hurt them this time
Uncle Dave is AWFUL
@@gjfwang you know it coz WWE is the biggest brand and most people around the world only know WWE as wrestling show
You have no idea how Big WWE outside US.
Remember how WWE was “holding everyone back” and “if they get exposed to a mainstream audience they’ll be popular”. Well here we are, it looks like mainstream audiences don’t like this PWG garbage indie wrestling. It’s no one else’s fault except their own because they have the talent and money to compete. Now we know why WWE is miles ahead of every wrestling company in America right now.
Bud, you're not supposed to say the quiet part out loud. You'll ruffle the feathers.
If TK was as good at booking as he was at spending money, maybe we’d get a more refined number. Alas, he’s really 💩 the bed so now I think of AEW as TNA with a bigger payroll.
The pro-wrestling industry is dead. Only WWE is kicking.
Tbh people just don't like pro wrestling. If anybody is going to watch it or take their children to see it it will be wwe just because thats what they watched when they were kids.
I saw that PBS is showing a documentary on August 8 on Jim Crocket promotions. No WWE or WCW.
Jim Crocket existed since the 30s, that's plenty of history to talk about before WWE or WCW existed
@@Ai14106WWE did exist (under its pre-Capital Wrestling/WWWF/WWF name), Grandpa Jess McMahon and Jim Crockett Sr. started promoting wrestling the same week in 1930-something.
Well, that actually sounds interesting.
@@maceomaceo11 "So my great-great grandfather, who was Samoan, told Jim Crockett sr, "ya know, you should get in the wrestling business " "
-Rock Hogan
@@XombieLejon66 Cool story. Was that in a book? I think I read that, was it called "IWC Fucks That Don't Know Jack Shit About The History Of Pro Wrestling"
I’m waiting for the day Tony Kahn’s dad says enough or aew getting kicked off tnt or tbs
They got a contract with something called triller apparently. No idea what triller is but it doesn't sound good.
AEW’s ratings are now NXT level. How pathetic.
Joe Hendry is probably going to be a bigger name than MJF by the end of the year.
And NXT is the developmental promotion 😉
@@rubbishopinions6468 probably already is. normal wrestling fans dont watch All Empty-Arenas Wrestling. and Max sucks.
@@DaggerPrinceYou people are just pathetic. Joe Hendry is only a season flavour not a generational talent like Mjf is
@@shivathedemonkiller964 if mjf a generational talent why he not in wwe 🤨
The fact they're going out of their way to stack shows like this tells me that they're worried about the ratings. If they can't break 700k this week, they're cooked.
😂i think Jericho should wear shirt in ring saying:IF YOU SEE THIS ITS TIME TO CHANGE the CHANNEL😅😊
Knowing what he does now, he'll eventually do that
"Cornelian Rhapsody" by Travis Heckell
Love how ratings don’t matter when ratings are bad.
The AEW "my teas gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all" stans have a mantra of one rule for us another for you until we change them again.
All you have to do is use tony knans own words against them
"The rating is the number one source of fan feedback!"
You know the ratings seem to be under 700k for good now, but did you all know that Edge's AEW run is the greatest of his career, according to Tony? 😊
2005-09 Edge was a heel that caused a lot of headaches to John Cena, Batista, Undertaker and Prime Jeff Hardy then Tony Khan says this dumb shit.
Whos Undertaker besides the likes of freshly squeezed his orange balls cassidy?
But in ultimate years in wwe edge is the princes of disney
Edge is having FUN and you can't put a price on that!
The artist formerly known as Edge: Snaps tibia doing a pointless stunt.
Tiny: he's on a great run.
Edge: I can't walk.
i was in calgary before the 10th
there was absolutely NO advertising that aew was going to be there
i woulda went just to mock them lol
You might have been able to get a free ticket; fuck, the way their attendances have been going down, they might have paid YOU to go to the show haha.
@@ThisCharmingMan1984erm....never forget they have seat fillers and they take up most of the filled seats. Not fans. These 600,000 average viewers is hugely inflated it's a lot less than that.
A&W root beer》Aew
That attendance is absolutely atrocious, by the way. The Saddledome seats 19K+ for hockey, so it could easily seat 20K+ for wrestling once they add floor seats. AEW only filled around 20% of the venue.
Ouch 😮
Do they have more shows around that way to come? Because if that building is at 20% capacity that number will as a matter of fact dwindle even further. I love schadenfreude.
Brian said, "Cornament" as an accident, but it's what we all really need.
The ratings were not good because of major competition from the International Toenail Clipping Championship. I heard the winner real nailed it🦶
Is it true that someone got disqualified because that person had bunions?
I had to read your comment twice but it was hilarious on the second time I read it, good $hit pal
An AEW Stan's uncle farted and they all had to leave the room so they couldn't watch it. Was absolutely lifting.
Powerslap》Aew
I swear that intro always gets me lol
I can’t blame Swerve for losing 60k viewers because when u go from Samoa Joe to Nick Wayne to the Lizard and some randos then Christian and Osprey I mean the poor guy never stood a chance.
Bro, stop.
He is not a draw😂
You're just as bad as Meltzer making excuses for someone that has always lost viewers going back to last year.
@@getschwifty9531bit he bla. He bla Woman dats in power. Just look at Tiffany henyard if you don't get the reference.
People love Swerve's entrance, Prince dancing, yelling " Who's house?", etc. Most his matches are the same and I have never heard anyone quoting lines from one of his promos.
Sorry Tony Sheldon just outdrew your whole vanity project
True once Sheldon is off the TV AEW fans tune out in droves.
He's been outdrawing AEW for years before they were conceived, the whole time the company has existed and will continue to do so until AEW is no more.
I just heard that Tony Khan said he wants to get 80.000 people in a stadium to watch AEW. Presumably over 80 shows.
Ha nice.
What happens if the "loaded" 250 episode is below 700K? It's funny people saying everything is good with WBD and AEW but the Tony has to hot shot shows for desperate ratings.
690,000 at least
I think Dave is holding his breath about the TV deal. He keeps getting told it's a done deal, but he can see them hotshoting right as the exclusive negotation period is ending.
@@CallMeCrazyCallMePoor yup every week it’s a done deal but nope
It will do better than 700k not sure about 800k though.
If the free tv match between MJF and Will Osprey doesn't break the 700000 I can't see what could...
Is that pile of ashes TK? 😂
It certainly has his eyes... 😂
Yeah he bit the dust.
@@namelessjedi2242You are what you eat, I guess?
@@jasonjimerson7046No , you are what you snort in the case of Tony Kahn
another one bites the dust HA
What in the name of Farouk Bulsara will this have to do with Freddie Mercury? I can’t wait to see this!
Another one bites the dust 😂
JC broke out in song😂
@@gi79304 When? I've listened to it twice and I have no idea what the connection with Freddie is.
PBS is set to air a new documentary covering the rise and fall of Jim Crockett Promotions.
The documentary, titled “When Giants Walked Here“, is set to premiere on August 8. It will be shown on PBS North Carolina and the PBS App. Director Cliff Bumgardner and Chris Lea will interview wrestlers of the day. They will cover the history of the Southern wrestling promotion.
The public broadcaster announced the documentary in a press release on Monday. It will cover not just Jim Crockett Promotions, but also the history of professional wrestling at the Dorton Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina.
In the press release, PBS wrote about “When Giants Walked Here”;
“On August 8th, 2024, PBS North Carolina will premiere a new documentary titled ‘When Giants Walked Here,’ chronicling the rise and fall of Jim Crockett Promotions and professional wrestling at Dorton Arena in Raleigh, NC. The film outlines the legacies formed and remembered inside of those hallowed walls.”
“Pro wrestling Giants like Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Magnum T.A. and many more became legends inside of Dorton Arena. For almost 30 years, pro wrestling captured the imaginations of thousands of wrestling fans on a weekly basis. Inside of the unique structure, including future pro wrestling stars that grew up in the area.”
Nooooooo shit
My booking on 2k24 is better than Tony Khans actual show.
Have you booked angle vs bret yet?
I swear, Jim should make animated comedy videos with those thumbnails that features Tony Khan looking psycho/crazy 🤣🤣🤣
"People having to piss"... Who turns off the TV to use the bathroom? Lol
AEW fans go to the bathroom with their pants round their ankles while standing.
@@JohnKobaRuddy 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂💀💀💀
Samoa joe went from world champ to just some guy named joe . This is why aew's booking is so bad
Just Joe! 🤣
@@wilcee238 pretty soon somoa joe will just be a guy backstage overhearing rumors and telling people about them 😂
I think we all know the update we're waiting on this week...
That shoot promo
What's that?
knaw which one? what I miss lol
He said on Twitter that he's not gonna talk about it on the show, because if he gave his real thoughts they'd be kicked off the air. 😂
@@KDtheHalfricanif you are talking about what I think gou are then yeah, he better keep his mouth shit because knowing him he would support that heinous fuck who tried to kill Trump
Freddie Markury
🎶Ratings goo goo rantings gaa gaa 🎶
😂👍
@@SAM-ru4vx"I'm just a little boy from a rich family"
I want it all and I want it now
Like 2 months later that mystery 8 percent shows back up 🤣
They thought tony asked hauk tww girl to come co host show😊😂😅
@@MichellePasewarkeven she wouldn't spit on that thang.
Stop indulging Last, we could have had Corney crooning out a golden oldie in the time he spent confusing me, with sounds.
Last is just a rich dad's due kid who lived an extremely comfortable life.
Born into wealth and brags about his earnings. And always puts himself over for being right @@JohnKobaRuddy
@@JohnKobaRuddy Sounds like Corney's next hit single to me
"...You're a rich girl, and you've gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl..."
Can we have an omnibus video of just the times that Jim and Brian have time travel? Every time that's the segment that I kind of look forward the most because I'm always eager to see what wacky sounds they have. Oftentimes they remind me of me as a kid watching '60s chose like ultra Man lost in space time tunnel line of Giants.
Come on guys didn’t you know there was a major local bass fishing tournament in Little Rock on? They had heavy competition
One of the "best Dyanmites" ever as the AEW die-hards called it, and it still only gained 3k viewers from last week. Even with Bryan Danielson carrying Hangma'am for 40+ mins and the Mariah May Heel turn. The rest of the show was the usually drizzling shits. MJF destroys Oceanspreay on the mic while Meltzer's golden boy stumbles. Swerve is an afterthought yet again. Manure Moans also gives the same scripted promo she always does. Plus Samoa Joe was taken off TV by JeriKaren and a fake wall. I'm sure Hotshotting MJF/OceanSpreay and Swerve/Okody this week will clearly boost the ratings past 700k... LOL.
I want him to review this week's Dynamite card. It seems Tony is gonna hot shot Ospreay vs MJF on FREE TV
Tony will make more money on decent TV ratings than PPV buys. He's still trying to squeeze every penny out of Warner Discovery.
They're in competition with NXT and theyre cooking right now
I'm going to Raw in Calgary in September . I'm interested to see the attendance compared to AEW
Night and day.
Remember guys its cm punks fault
Nice to hear that audio of TK at the start, it really sets the mood.
I always look forward to the sounds prior to the ratings.
This is the greatest shows ever according to uncle Dave.
The first 15 seconds is why I liked this video 😂 This podcast has become so legendary. It’s like its own special thing lol
TK has been forced to show 2 PPV calibre matches on weekly television.
I'm curious on what the ratings for this weeks Dynamite will be.
"I'm curious ABOUT" not on.
@@JohnKobaRuddy thanks grammar police
Brian’s sound machine sounded like the ISHIIIIIIIII noise 😂
12 week sub 700k average
Time for my favorite segment of the week!
Goddamnit Travis...Hit a home run with the Freddie Mercury Corny cartoon! Lol😂 👊🏼
you know what that strange wobbly distorted sound means, boys. we're in the future!
The music to start these is amazing
In Your House Canadian Stampede had about 16,000 more people in attendance. So yeah. Ouch.
MY GOD THE THUMBNAIL!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!
Uncle Dave already blaming Collision ratings on politics. It’s always something like always it’s insane
So Sheldon and Al bundy saved the aew ratings for going even lower
And the overrun too.
Last week was Shark Week. That's definitely an excuse.
My dog went wild at the noises in the beginning
I remember people laughed when moxley's twitter teaser video for 1 million views when raw got under a million
Was that raw on Christmas and it was best of raw show
Such lovely time travel music 😂😂😂
TRAVIS I'M TOO STONED 😅😂 JIM CORNETTE IS A JUKEBOX HERO
Corney Mercury, lmao
Those sounds make me dizzy lol
It's funny how Shark Week and AEW are on sister stations, yet John Cena hosted Shark Week.
doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo
Lmao Corny as Freddie wasn’t on my bingo card lmao
Wrestlenomics calls everything an angle, whether it be a promo or backstage segment. AEW has messed with his head so bad he doesn’t know the difference
I mean, TK doesn't know the difference either 😂
I appreciate Jim mentioning Flair and Windham going for the full hour on tv in Florida
This is what happens when the bucs, Perry, and hangman weren't fired. Only Punk. It came back and bit you in the butt Tony...lol.
Someday soon one of cornys videos talking about the dynamite ratings will get more views than dynamite 😂
How can you compete with the new all night gas station down the street ?
I'm sure the opinion was negative but I'm curious to hear thoughts on the closing angle with Toni and Mariah
The QUEEN himself MR FREDDY CORNETTE ladies and gentlemen!!!
I remember watching AEW collison on acid one time, was freaking so funny😂😂
5th week in a row averaging under 700k viewers with no signs of recovery. What happened on June 5th that made about 100k viewers disappear?
Ausgezeichnete Frage.
The failure of AEW is more amusing and entertaining to Jim and Brian than the success of WWE.
Pretty certain NXT beat them in the key demo, which based on Uncle Dave's logic from but a few weeks ago, means that NXT beat Dynamite in the ratings.
Shoutout to Good Ol Thurston Howe The Third for the ratings because I always get giddy for a Cornette Ratings vid
Get the Tardis, Brian. 😂😂
F--K All Embarrassing Wrastling it don't matter anymore Tony ''The Klown'' won't change
Jim, tony doesn't have best workers, he has best friends.
"he has PAID FOR friends". His only friends as an extremely rich kid were on a wrestling forums. Theirs a video by asmongold of a kid using his mum's credit card to buy Roblox cheats. The kid is exactly like Tiny Khan't. I implore all to watch it.
The only video I wait for every week!
Thought I was having a stroke
Im a simple man. I hear the time travel sound and I smile.
I'm with Jim on the whole late-night gas station theory. That's when all the "Fresh" baked goods and food sitting on those heated rollers all day long get discounted or given away for free. I know I'd miss a few quarters of AEW for a shriveled up old hot dog and rock-hard jelly doughnut
Vader is about to be proven right once Ricochet shows up.
I swear Brian uses a Slide Whistle for some of these "time machines"
I'd rather see photos of Cora Livingston, not even fully nude, but suggestive or glamor shots, just for the novelty. Clara Mortensen is still quite the revelation though.
I remember when the Simpsons writing starting going downhill. Never realized it wasn’t them it was Family Guy getting hot lol
Top feud's right now: Hunk vs Punk, Last vs Thurston Howell III's 1/4 hour 'angles'
Asmongold kid pays for roblox. Do it everyone. Its a mini Tony khan.
I went to their first show in Calgary last year and got to see CM Punk 👍🏿
Was that Pink Floyd? 😂😂
As opposed to good Taco Bell?
Most anticipated video of the week😂😂😂
Time machine my fav part now.😂😂😂😂
The intro Is Excellent
That intro wild but we all know about aew ratings it goes like this 📈📉
I loooove the time machine sounds in any Drive Thru or Experience episode. Lol fucking great (ding!!) 👌🏾👌🏾
How many ceiling birds do you own?
