The ratings are going to be suppressed because it’s live in the west and thus not in prime time. This has been explained to you.Anyone else dumbfounded that the TV ratings haven't increased? I would've bet my savings that bringing in Punk and Danielson would catapult AEW to that next level. Where did all those viewers who watched Punk's debut go?
The people that tuned in to watch Punk wrestle, left when all he did for weeks at a time was come out and have his little love fests and do some commentary.Anyone else dumbfounded that the TV ratings haven't increased?

Completely agree. The "Booker of the Year" really screwed up with Punk. He should have struck while the iron was white hot. Putting him in a feud (if you even want to call it a feud) with a 5'7'' 165lb guy was head scratching to say the least.The people that tuned in to watch Punk wrestle, left when all he did for weeks at a time was come out and have his little love fests and do some commentary.
Ratings were already declining before the west coast fiasco. Try again.The ratings are going to be suppressed because it’s live in the west and thus not in prime time. This has been explained to you.
They declined because they leveled out. The same thing happened when they launched. Not every show is a banger and they haven’t put punk in hardly any matches on dynamite.Ratings were already declining before the west coast fiasco. Try again.

Seriously, they need to take notes from the scintillating booking that has everyone so excited for Survivor Series. Oh and since you want to bring up the size horseshit you are aware that the two biggest combat sports draws of the past decade (Floyd and McGregor) are roughly that size?Completely agree.

and promote it evenJesus, why are they giving Billy Gunn a singles match in 2021? He shouldn't even have been having singles matches in 2001.
They were trying to have Eddie be heel and it didn’t take so they change course. It was already a change in course to do that match, it was supposed to be Wardlow. They will come back to it, not every feud has to be linear.Cm Punk vs. MJF is one of my dream feuds, but I wished they would continue Punk vs. Kingston instead. I think there was still more to do there. Perhaps they're afraid Punk would get booed.

I don't mind Gunn doing trios match with his sons just because the father son thing is kind of cool and he can be protected in those matches. But I don't understand him getting one-on-one matches. He's not Sting or Goldberg.
He is just getting a match so Darby can get an easy win out of the MJF feud. A win against someone that has name recognition, but can definitely be squashed.
I would not overthink that one.
I think they should turn CM Punk heel. He should lose this feud with MJF and then transition back to the Eddie Kingston feud where he should turn heel.
The problem I have with it is not the quality of the matches, some of which have been amazing, but after the long build for Hangman/Omega, there really aren't any story lines being built up. It all seems to be a new match with two different people every week. They have their match and then they move on. Tony is like a kid in a sand box that gets distracted every 10 minutes.You put booker of the year in quotes. So tell me, who do you think is really the booker of the year?
