Konnan on: the REAL reason AEW drew the lowest TV rating in history 

KONNAN talks about if TONY KHAN has been caught paying for pro-AEW articles ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--qhmOqWphz4.html

AEW showing the "CMPunk-JackPerry" footage was the final nail in the coffin.

Wardlow is nowhere to be found while they’re pushing Daniel Garcia as a main event player. Insane.

I haven't watched an AEW show in almost a year and i can still tell you exactly why they are drawing terrible ratings.... because LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE THING Tony does is done incorrectly, and he refuses to acknowledge it while his sycophants tell him everything is "great."

Wardlow beat mjf then went 20 minutes with pockets because of the genius booking

It is because they rely on the lead-in show for 25% of their viewership on average.

Tony Khan's problem is that he can't understand or accept that you're supposed to book for OTHER people, not yourself. If other people don't care about your show, no one will watch and that's EXACTLY what is happening.

“I’m booking the Jericho cruise” 😂😂😂

The fact that it's half way into 2024 and AEW are back competing with NXT for the TV ratings is a really bad sign. With the names on AEW's roster, the ratings battle shouldn't be this close. I find it strange that Tony Khan is quite clearly unaware.

Meltzer was working overtime on twitter defending them ratings.

Konnan is right. Tony needs to stop being such a mark about booking things..... especially when its all such terrible, meaningless, embarrassing, random horse sht thrown against a wall.

Of course Tony's booking the Jericho cruise...nobody books his toys but him.

R E C O R D L O W A T I N G S

I put aew on friday and saturday they put pockets on first both times and i shut it off instantly lmao 😂🤣

Thank God that The Big Bang Theory came back on.

Tony Khan is a typical 2024 mark: wrestling fans today don't understand wrestling. He proves this constantly

Those Jericho segments are pulling ratings 😂😂😂😂

The PPv should be called Forbidden Floor.

It was only back up to 680K this past week. Not even 700K.

Aew just become wwe in 2018-19. The low attendance and low ratings but it’s worst. All those ex-wwe guys are probably phoning triple h right now apologizing

Nobody watches because it’s full of indie jabroni’s and indie bs. Where are all the marks saying swerve was going to bring the ratings up 😂😂

the concept of Forbidden Door needs to either end in 2024 or Tony Khan needs to figure out a way to do a show with WWE (which will never happen, I know). NO ONE cares about random Mexican guy vs random AEW mid-card guy. NO ONE cares about old Japanese guy vs washed up AEW guy. it's a wrestling gimmick that's so niche that even the biggest online marks are done with AEW. Think about that: a mark pandering company that marks are bored with.

It'd be funny to find out that a good portion of the big bang theory audience are older people that fall asleep shortly before Dynamite begins and the TV stays on the channel.

TK has done more to hurt MJF since his return than I thought possible. 1. Return in a throwaway segment on ppv with an unfocused promo and dumb tattoo 2. Have him wrestle an opening competitive match against a guy who doesn't win and take risky bumps 3. Put mjf on ppv vs a wrestler no one in the US is familiar with. 4. Have mjf offer a midcarder a match at the company's biggest ppv on the go home show to the current PPV. 5. Have mjf not make any effort to go after the AEW Championship.

Brandon Thurston is like " no it means dont show it online" lol

Everything is great! 🔔 Everyone is great! 🔔 It's all great! 🔔 RIP Aew (2019-2024) Ha.

That's what happens when you put the main event on first

I'm Captain Booker! What a 🤡. Ha.

Tony klown can't book for $$$$hit

Love how every aew match u can easily predict the winner yet they all feel the need to get they shit in do every move they know and have an underwhelming finish it blows

It's pretty simple, Forbidden door is this weekend and this was the go home show before the ppv, not many care about Forbidden door.

Did anybody hear how Tony came out saying something along the lines of "people wishes they get the numbers we get?" Like WTF dude?! All that coke he's been sniffing leaked into his dumb bird brain.

You know what would help aew . Consistent characters on the show . You see so many wrestlers on there show for a week or two then you dont see them again for months . How can you get a person or character over if there gone as soon as you start too care about them .

“I’m booking the Jericho cruise” 🤣🤣🤣

They always fuck up the finish or they do a match on tv that they should save for the ppv. If you see backstage fights and ladders and steel cages on rampage or collision why would you care for the ppv? It will be a dragged out longer version of the match you saw on tv

Tony Khan never learns. Learning is a thing you develop as a child. Tony Khan has left that stage of life yet.

Going to empty wrestling shows completely kills the live experience. Being in a packed small house is so much more fun.

Cowboys and Rangers play in Arlington, it’s not a small city. It’s between Dallas and Fort Worth

did they switch up the nielsen family’s? they got destroyed lol

The Kendrick Lamar concert was at the same time

I always said, MJF and Wardlow should have had rivaling title run feud. And what was the deal with that pipebomb promo from Wardlow a couple of months back? Nothing came out of that

On Konnan's point of following where WWE heats things up. Beyond that Bischoff wasn't far off with ideas like Sturgis. I mean right idea maybe wrong venue, still right idea. Example Grand Junction, CO has two massive music festivals Rock Jam and Country Jam and the Junior College world series JuCo, but even when those are going nothing else to do. Could piggy back some solid numbers off those three if it's done right. It's something like a million plus in all 3 cases, not bad for a population under half a million and that's a lot of bored tourists.

Using the PRIDE FC soundtrack is always a win. That turns any weakling being into a damn predator!

I can answer this question for you: Tony Khan. You talk about any problem that AEW has and the answer to all of those problems is Tony Khan.

Is there something wrong with Disco Inferno ??? Why dont he listen and stfu so he can respond coherently

The only thing that changed was the lead in right? Wow no suspensions? Damn you finally got them trained.

Konnan must listen to cornette 😂

7:07 Who? Strawman?

The Kendrick Lamar concert lol

Without a big lead in aew are a 500k show. They can make excuses like they always do but this is a fact.

Kendrick Lamar’s concert also drew more numbers

The fans ruined my whole experience with this company. First episode airs and the fans are already being hyper dorks calling it the greatest thing ever. AEW FANS ARE THE WORST

It starts at the top.

AEW is falling because they have nothing big to build towards. If they do go with MJF vs Will Ospreay: what's the issue? That they had a stare down in the ring once? THAT'S IT?!

What about wardlow has ever said “numbers”? Is it possible, of course, it’s practical even. But what makes you think that creative could execute it

Fire a third of the roster, all the japanese guys except 'the alpha' cuz hes good and maybe the rainmaker, stop the cmll crossover crap. Focus on just a few top guys and get them into interesting stories..play smaller venues wwe doesnt

What I like is a plan was laid out. Good K100 crew.

Thurston Howell ...lmao😂😂😂

I have never watched AEW...

Any other reason than "Because it sucks" is not acceptable

The rise and fall of WC I mean AEw

All I see is AEW fans saying how industry changing Forbidden Door will be.

8:00 problem solved

I remember when AEW was hot and every one wanted on the Jericho cruise. Now, not so much.

Remember how WCW shut down for like 2-4 weeks back in 2000 so that they could completely rebook the entire company? That's what AEW needs to do. Tony needs to give up control and let others fix all of his mistakes.

MERCEDES IS BORING 😴 OF AEW

No good storylines is their issue.

I've watched wrestling since the late 70's. I've watched everything wrestling i could ever find. Aew to me is the worst wrestling show i have ever watched. There is nothing that interests me whatsoever about aew.

Putting their money on the young bucks

Suspending people who support you because you think their questions are "dumb", is crazy as sht.

Because its trash? Why make excuses? The product is getting worse than 2019 raw

Did discos face take steroids?

aew wrestling is great but they need stories , todays ppv will be awesome ,but nobody has any idea why they wrestle

AEW is going down like WCW

Ohhhhh Boyyyyyyy!!!!!

The show isnt good and the best guy they had on the show (MJF) they turned him into a big shill company guy. Hes got his money now. He dont need to hit home runs anymore.

Wrestlenomics needs to make a better watermark rather than complaining about getting credit.

I think Joe meant Arlington, VA.

Who'd be surprised that Disco didn't know anyone that didn't celebrated "Juneteenth"? Respectfully Konnan, that was an asinine comment considering Black Panther has been broadcasted on far fewer less than "Star Wars" has been shown on TBS and TNT. It's funny how all the three things attributed to AEW lowest ratings ever is black themed "Juneteenth", Black Panther lead in and Kendrick Lamar pop-up concert on Amazon. Don't associated black people with the lack of creatively for AEW programming. Is there any consideration that AEW Dynamite, Rampage and Collison are all sh*tty booked shows for a small niche group that caters to illogical booking with no character development, no vignettes or storylines. Tony Khan said it himself he only books for the "sickos". He always thinks he everything is alright. As long as he books his shows for the "sickos" and not consider booking for the causal fans they will always underperform on TV and the ratings are proving it. I've been watching wrestling for a long time and it doesn't matter how much great wrestling is on a particular wrestling show people want a variety show not just wall to wall wrestling.

Show sucks. 500k peopel watch for some reason.

The Big Bang Theory just means that much to their number. Not only does it help the lead-in, but they catch the people who end up leaving it on after the show is over, who fall asleep, go into the kitchen, go do something else. etc., and leave the channel on. That effect goes beyond the first quarter-hour.

👍🏽👍🏽

hate disco's voice

AEW is nothing more than a glorified indie show paying to be on TV most wrestler's are from njpw,the indie's some Latin outlet and guys let go from WWE who aren't up to par or mighty migit wrestler like adam cole or PAC

Aew is finished

AEW should have literally zero viewers. There is no reason to watch that show, ever. No reason to tune in to see what happens next, ever.

Disgusted with evil WWE. Just want AEW to succeed.

AEW is a better company than any of the gross trash you have ever put on TV before
