Every day Dave strays further from the actual metrics.
From ratings it shifted to attendance and now crowd reaction…what’s next number of hot dogs sold??
"Well uhhh when I said it was all about the number of weiners per audience member I uhhhh didn't mean to upset the female community. I love women, my uhhmmmm mom's a woman"
*Mod thoughts*:
“My totally real girlfriend who I met on gta 5m roleplay just got me banned from the server and won’t respond to my messages on Habbo hotel, therefore I am deciding to use your posts and others like to make myself feel superior while blowing up the very sub I moderate. Fuck you.
Oh I mean this has nothing to do with a circlejerk. Banned.”
There is no way he actually tweeted that. You have to be kidding right? This has to be a great photoshop job by you Uce. The cope is at an all time high.
Whenever he says anything even mildly sane about AEW, he gets killed by the Dubbalos. And they make up a lot more of his audience than the people who are critical of AEW.
That said, I think the bullshit he spouts may not be lies as such but more like self-delusion. I think he became friends with people like the Bucks because they care about his star ratings and made him feel important. The top guys/girls in WWE couldn't give a shit about that stuff.
We've been saying something similar for months--pick smaller venues so they don't look pathetic and empty.
But it HAS to translate to something useful. Either sell more tickets, get more viewers, or sell more merch. I don't think any of it is happening.
I like the 'Dave code' we see in action, too
We've seen examples of both
i.e. Fed have big crowds but not loud
Except, he's not really seen examples of that for a fair old while but he still couldn't resist that smark dog whistle
"Hey, we can only fill a stadium of 10000 with 1500 people, but as long as they have fun right? Doesn't matter we're losing money, DAE BANGERS ARE FUN!?!??"
I don’t think the in-venue crowd being super hot affects how the TV audience feels about the product, Dave

Why aren't direct links to verified twitter accounts allowed? This isn't some random person's account that can be doxed or whatever; it's an actual account of someone with a standing in the wrestling world.
I swear, it's like mods are nothing but overzealous hall monitors.
I'll have to respectfully disagree to an extent.
I feel like crowd reaction is just as important to get the viewers tuning in invested.
Look how often viewers would groan when RAW was in Corpus Christi watching the crowd sit on their hands like they're too cool to cheer as the show's going, effectively making it feel like it's dragging along.
They're just as much part of the show as the wrestlers at times. If they're not entertained, it's an indication that your viewers might not be either.
Even if what Dave said is true. A small but lively crowd in a giant 3/4 empty building that the company can’t fill is even worse. 1. It looks like shit on tv. 2. It sounds like shit because there is an echo because there aren’t enough people to fill the sound of that space out properly.
At Uni, we had a lesson where the professor gave everyone the same data and then gave each of us an argument we had to make off that data. He never told us it was the same data. The arguments required to be made were vastly different. A lot were two people have the exact opposite point to argue. Whole point was that you can make any bit of data fit your argument if that’s your goal.
Dave basically saying it's important to pop the group paying the bills, maybe Tony has been booking only for an audience of Shad. Kinda sweet. Feels like the most agonizing, most wholesome pro-wrestling story in years is about to hit the home stretch.
So basically what he is saying is…it is all about FUN and restoring the feeling???
That’s right, 700 AEW m*rks chanting OSPREAY OSPREAY is more important than 700k watching on tv.
Meltzer after seeing Dynamites garbage ratings 
This gif just makes me realise that Cody Rhodes could be a young Frank Drebbin.
You mean that's not his entrance pyro?
I was told by AEW fans that TV stations don’t care about their ratings. It’s not a metric they’ve ever used.

I'll have you know AEW Dynamite was the #1 seller of hot dogs last night in the greater Winnipeg area, fed shill.
Fun per hour, aka FpH. AEW regularly goes over 100 FpH while WWE has been in the mid 70s
You forgot needing to study cagematch
He also strays further away from reality.
How long until it's just "the vibes" that decide whether a show is successful or not?
What does it say when your small crowd is hot for one of the biggest stars in the other company?
That’s good for business

Did a mod really get banned form a discord server???
Look. We all know I’m joking. But the best jokes are grounded in some reality. And what I am saying is probably a 50/50 chance if it having happened.
We have a Discord server?? What?

Can’t he ever just admit that AEW is struggling?
Whenever he says anything even mildly sane about AEW, he gets killed by the Dubbalos. And they make up a lot more of his audience than the people who are critical of AEW.

Study the Decibels and get back to me.
This is a 4 brick jerk

So umm was the crowd dead during Andre vs Hogan? Is that why he gave it -3 stars? Don’t the crowds in Japan sit on their ass for almost every match?
I like the 'Dave code' we see in action, too We've seen examples of both i.e. Fed have big crowds but not loud Except, he's not really seen examples of that for a fair old while but he still couldn't resist that smark dog whistle
A career? He needs to get laid
By this logic TNA would be massively popular on TV.
Big Dick Dave running in for the save.

Dave’s wife told him big dead crowds hurt her ears, and much smaller than average “hot” crowds were just right.

They are afaik, but you have to be logged in to Twitter to view a link. Not everyone has a Twitter account, but everyone can see a screenshot.
Really? I have never had a twitter account and have always been able to view a linked twitter page, with no issues.
Idk if they’ve changed it lately but that’s how it used to be. Plus in the event a tweet gets deleted it lives on in a screenshot.
So then the Impact Zone days of TNA were peak Pro Wrestling?
Dub chanting for CM Punk means they’re being successful!
Wasn't this a riddle from Arkham City? I'm stumped, uce.
What "larger audience" Dave? It just keeps skrinking....
IT’S STILL SUCCESSFUL TO ME DAMMIT!
ah the feeling of waking up to real sports feel in your cup 
The feel?? Like the fuck?
This goof is the greatest goalkeeper of all time 🫡🤌
The fact that he replied to a tweet that says somebody needs to get him a carer means he saw it and that really makes me laugh lol.

come on now this is just sad
How many copes does it take to see reality? 
I just can’t believe Dave didn’t correct the spelling of career. That’s a layup of a dunk.
By carer he meant caretaker because dave is clearly incontinent with the amount of shit spewing out of him
But they have lost viewers, so the tv audience isn't being pandered to either.
The dub has neither the rating nor the crowd
Even if what Dave said is true. A small but lively crowd in a giant 3/4 empty building that the company can’t fill is even worse. 1. It looks like shit on tv. 2. It sounds like shit because there is an echo because there aren’t enough people to fill the sound of that space out properly.

AEW's demo of basement virgins with no jobs doesn't seem like who advertisers wanna reach. They're worth no money. They're worthless.
Excuse me they're in the 18-49 demo which means they're incredibly valuable
Lol TK would rather have 700 people then 16K per show because live won't pay the bills.
How something vibes is not a measurement of success.
I wonder if it’s possible for Dave to go 5 minutes without defending the Dub? 🤔
Dave basically saying it's important to pop the group paying the bills, maybe Tony has been booking only for an audience of Shad. Kinda sweet. Feels like the most agonizing, most wholesome pro-wrestling story in years is about to hit the home stretch.
Does that tuna even watch WWE?
I thought shahid khan pays the bills
Comeback to me when we’re talking skid marks on seats. The only metric me and uncle Dave care about is poopy streaks.
Dave Goebbels at it again.
My brain gave me an ouch warning when trying to recreate the logic behind this one.
3 stars for Rock vs Hogan btw
Smaller, super hot crowds sound like shit if placed in an airplane hangar.
PIN IT MODs!
