Outstanding PPV. Clockwork Carnage might have been the worst match of the night. It was a fun match and I appreciate them trying something different but that’s not an AEW PPV main event caliber match type. Appears I am very much in the minority with that opinion though.

My dream has finally come true and it’s doing big numbers on online. His debut and his two teaser vignettes each got over 1.5 million views on Twitter.

Will it translate to anything that actually matters business wise though?

So let's be real here...any debut will get big numbers online unless it's a random from NJPW who Kenny loves or something. Also, if we're being fair, if this were WWE you'd likely discount the Twitter views as "those aren't actual views because you can scroll past a video that automatically plays and that counts as a view." I know this because you've done it before lol.

I'm happy for him and he belongs in AEW but you know the answer already. A talented midcarder in WWE who's probably 5'7, not seen in several months, isn't going to be a game changer or needle mover in AEW. By Thanksgiving he'll be having random matches on Collision while the rest of the country is watching college football. Again, very happy for him but you asked the question. We've seen this about forty times with much bigger names with bigger legacies and none of them did what you're wondering. Pillars, needle movers, mystery Max numbers...it's a lot of hype. I recall SRS suggesting that because Mercedes has over a million followers on IG, they could follow her to AEW. Buddy, most of those are either bots or women who care about her fashion type photos. No one followed her to AEW.

You asked the question, I gave the answer lol.

All signed to one company. Do you really want WWE or do you just want to watch AEW/ROH from 2019-2023?

Now see how stupid that is?
