I'd argue that had WCW catered MORE to the hardcore fan, and tried to keep them happy by not devaluing beloved babyfaces and doing more with their great undercard, they would've staved off the precipitous decline they had in 99. Their wrestlers>WWF's and didn't take advantage.

Better storytelling = Growth If AEW ever wants to get the other 900 fans in the room, they'll need to stop booking for one small segment of the audience. Hear the rest of the debate on @83Weeks and AdFreeShows.com #WWERAW #WWE

Wrestling twitter needs to stop amplifying all the old head bad faith bad take carny dipshits. They had their moment in the sun. Let them die in the dark with their ego podcasts. Quote me.

Bischoff going out sad. He can't be this dumb, its a grift. And he's not the only one, you're not wrong Punk.

Plus these arguments crumble when met with any scrutiny! Talking about good storytelling like you and MJF didn't tell a very well plotted out and layered story across multiple months. And then it naturally dovetailed to he and Wardlow. My brother calls people like this chatters.

And what are you? You got big by bitching about a company that helped make you a star, and I am guessing you only want like minded fans like yourself for AEW and thats cool but there is nothing wrong with being a carry and your in denial if you think you're not one as well

Love you Punk, but if you've got a better point to make, then make it. AEW does appeal to the 10% and I don't see how that's even wrong.

You mean “old heads” like Chris Jericho, JR, Mark Henry, etc? Or just the “old heads” that aren’t in love with the AEW product?

So you're falling into that AEW culture of getting mad at anyone critisizing the company. That's disappointing.

Your death in the "dark" is nigh too, old man. Dark? Dark Elevation? Hell, Rampage? See you there vs Danhausen when your boss is bored of the old toy. 😉

You’re literally an ancient artifact at this point, and you’re calling people old heads 😭you also had your moment in the sun like 10 years ago, but now you’re back taking title opportunities away from younger talent, just to feed your ego. Also, Eric is actually correct.

Aew ratings are down, attendance was going down, it picks up in June. Ppv are solid numbers, there not getting new fan's. Punk return been has flop a bit.

Or, you know, you can admit that Bischoff actually has a point. But why exit that AEW bubble?

Replying to @CMPunk @BackupHangman
What Bischoff is saying is also empirically untrue. The year on year data shows double digit % overall audience growth every month apart from December. Some of the growth is in the 30 & 40% range. Overall growth in the "key demo" too. PPV numbers are also improving year on year.

You cried your way into a championship belt. Your horrible push is what drove me away from wwe in 2011-2012. Just glad you never main evented a Mania. Never deserved to get that spot.

After you retire, you should dedicate a podcast to legit anything but wrestling. Great way to troll everyone with you being a great wrestler and all.
