Scott D’Amore (via the Chris Van Vliet Podcast) on the difference between the AEWxTNA relationship and the NXTNA relationship:
“Some of the things that happened with AEW haven’t happened with the [NXTNA] relationship yet. . . Point out that the highest rated show in the history of Axs TV not just IMPACT show but the highest rated SHOW by a LONG shot is the 268 number that Kenny did. . . We never did numbers like we did when Kenny came in there.
When Kenny came in the Rebellion with him and Swan, the title vs title, set a record during the Anthem era with buys, it was 3-4x higher then any of the shows leading into it had been. And then the next one, the Slamiversiery with Sami Callihan was the third best show of the Anthem era.”
A some two hour wrestling industry video below. I enjoyed watching it. Scott’s a smart guy who really does his HW. He a valid point. Wrestling is wrestling. Plenty of it around. Plenty of styles. I seen him once at an Impact collab a few years ago in California. He really knows how to make something from nothing, so to speak. I look forward to MLPW, as well as the day to day other companies as typical that we see.
