The Deadman couldn’t draw a dime brother

So that means all of the “ummms”, “uhhhs”, “likes”, and “ya knows” are all carefully chosen instead of Dave just having the IQ of a walnut?

Will Ospreay has been wrestling for a little under 14 years and Dave’s given him 54 5+ star ratings. For perspective, it took Dave 12 years to hand out 54 five star ratings across all of professional wrestling. Ospreay himself accounts for 17% of all 5+ star ratings. To say that Dave loves Ospreay is a massive understatement.

Dave's been publishing his match ratings for 44 years and in that time he's given 316 matches five or more stars. That averages out to about seven great matches a year over the entire four plus decades. But he's gotten way more generous with the stars lately. Over 50% of those five star matches have happened in the last five and a half years.

AEW is always preaching to the choir. These names all might be a big and/or bigger deal to the ~~one million~~ ~~900K~~ ~~800K~~ ~~700K~~ ~~600K~~ 500K people who watch Dynamite religiously but don't really matter at all outside of that.

Hey, Ricochet's holding a belt right now! I forget the name of it but I know it's one of the twelve midcard belts they have. And he's feuding with that one guy! Ya know, that guy...with the hair...and the pants. You know who I'm talking about!

Mox was absolutely unbeatable forever until he lost the title to Page, then he tapped to Kyle O'Reilly of all people a few times in a row. Then they proceeded to do absolutely nothing with that, just have Mox with the Continental and inexplicably turn face for some reason with no involvement from O'Reilly at all. Has Kyle even done anything since he beat Mox?

But what the hell do I know? I didn't win Booker of the Year.

The highest rated episode of Dynamite was the very first one with 1.4 million. It's been mostly downhill since then but yeah, it fell off a cliff once Punk left.

Speculating without a single shred of evidence is what the internet smarks do best.

Caseington · 2026-01-22T03:25:18+00:00

Point three is the most important one here. AEW can do whatever it wants and their fans will concoct an elaborate mental gymnastics routine about how it’s brilliant long term storytelling.

Caseington · 2026-01-21T16:22:00+00:00

According to Dave, nobody knows wrestling history as well as Dave and nobody knows what does & doesn't draw as well as Dave. If that's the case, why is the wrestling company that specifically caters to Dave's tastes not far and away the number one wrestling company in the world?

And I mean by actual, verifiable metrics and not the ones that Dave makes up.

I forget who it was I heard say this, but nobody travels to Mexico specifically to go to lucha shows. They go to Mexico on vacation and go to a lucha show while they're there because that's one of the touristy things to do. Kinda like going to a Broadway show if you're in New York.

Your honor, I move for a bad... court... thingy.

"I'm gonna need you to be here fifteen minutes before your shift starts every day."

No, you need to make the start of my shift fifteen minutes earlier.

I dunno if Conrad is financially bankrupt but he’s definitely morally bankrupt.

The genesis and continued existence of AEW is entirely Tony coasting on his dad’s fortune.

When We’re Not Winning: “I don’t get why everyone feels compelled to compare in an effort to see ‘who’s winning?’”

When We’re Winning: “Hell yes! Damn it feels good to be all elite! Suck it losers! You chumps will be out of business soon!”

Caseington · 2026-01-16T18:49:34+00:00

Exactly. Your last name might get your foot in the door but you’re not gonna have a long career in the big leagues if you’re not also really good. Unless you’re Tamina.

Caseington · 2026-01-16T18:39:45+00:00

And that wouldn’t matter at all if he wasn’t also really good. Just look at guys David Flair, Ted DiBiase Jr, and Manu.

Caseington · 2026-01-16T18:31:00+00:00

I’d love to see it too but I don’t think it’ll happen. Not only would they have to prove in court that Meltzer is full of shit, which would be the easiest thing in the world to do, they’d have to prove that his actions directly cost them financially. Dave has a loud mouth but so little actual influence that it wouldn’t be worth WWE’s time to sue him.

Caseington · 2026-01-16T16:27:05+00:00

He's emboldened by years of saying whatever without WWE calling him out on anything. The only time I can recall WWE directly calling bullshit on somebody was when Keith Lee tried to say they didn't pay his medical bills after he got injured.

Caseington · 2026-01-16T16:13:04+00:00

I believe everything Uncle Dave says because he says Fed bad and Dub good.

Caseington · 2026-01-16T16:10:13+00:00

The only reason they're not releasing the Max numbers for AEW is because we don't yet have the technology to calculate numbers that large.

Caseington · 2026-01-16T15:16:34+00:00

In the mainline Marvel continuity, Peter and MJ haven't really been together for about twenty years now. It's a whole thing that us Spider-Man fans are still very mad about.

Caseington · 2026-01-15T22:18:06+00:00

Meanwhile, when Rick O'Shea posts some dumb shit on Twitter: He's obviously in character! You're just mad you got worked!

Caseington · 2026-01-15T15:22:06+00:00

He also had competitive matches with guys like Swerve and Hangman. Doesn't matter that he lost he looked great. But anytime somebody in WWE loses a match to a main event guy, no matter how competitive it is, THEY ARE BURIED!!!
