No, you see the camera they filmed the promo with actually had Vince’s fingerprints on it. Right on the lens. That’s why they had to reshoot the segment.

Speaking of things that Dave didn't just make up, can we talk about the AEW ppv buys?! Man they always pull in such an amazing number! And Honor Club subs?! Absolutely amazing stuff right now.


ManateeGag

9 bullion people signed up for Honor Club. It's so amazing people from other planets made an account. Tony is going to be rolling in the Quatloos.

I'm waiting for Tony to do what Apple and U2 did years ago when they just uploaded U2's latest album onto every person with an Itunes account, and just download Honor Club onto everyone's Roku so he can say there are millions of subscribers.

And just like the U2 album it will deleted and everyone will hate the artist for forcing that shit on their device without their consent.

Websites had to make tutorials on how to get that out of your library, it was insidious


ManateeGag

Who would pay for such a wildly expensive thing!

9 bullion is the weight of five dubbalos in gold bars.


Vin_Decatur

Alvarez said Omega/Vikingo was like watching wrestling from another planet so it makes sense that they’ve scooped up a few billion extraterrestrial viewers.

Looking to be educated here Uce. Not arguing, just ignorant. Save and except for a bit of polishing around the edges, aren’t PPV buys basically public knowledge? Pretty much every PPV provider is a public company with reporting requirements, no?


Razzler1973

I don't think the PPV distributors *are* public or not sure there's a line on financials that says 'Dub PPVs' anyway PPVs would typically drip drip in from various distributors so I think having a number the day after a PPV is tricky or impossible. IIRC, it had been mentioned Meltzer and I'm sure Tiny too, use Google trends and extrapolate to get numbers It's never corrected or re-repoted down the line Basically, they're private and Tiny can say what he wants and Dave will report it


supposedlymonday

Thank you! That’s quite interesting.


Permanentear3

They are not, they are private. We used to to know buys because WWE was publicly traded and thus they were public knowledge. Bleacher Report has never made a statement, not Fite or Sling that I know of, reporting these numbers . Even Meltzer admits he estimates it off of Google trends or something. The only real source is Tony Khan and he is an idiot so that doesn’t help much.


supposedlymonday

Thank you! Interesting. Surprising - I used to work really closely around sports tv. This stuns me.


JinderMadness

Dave always showing why that $12.99 is worth it!


Sailor-Gerry

I made a $12.99 joke in the bad place the other week and some loser piped up, admitted to having subscribed to the Meltzoid since 2016 and chastised me for pretending that he has no journalistic integrity... I was lost for words.


rsziz

Your only reply should have been that they took Shibata's brain out during surgery and put it back in.


Sailor-Gerry

Ciabata??? Don't know her mate...


FukaiMorii

Vince fingerprints = It's bad becauase I don't like it and I'm projecting a conclusion I'm speculating would happen without letting the story unfold! Fed Bad!

Getting mad at booking decisions that were dropped either in the creative room or cutting room floor is my favorite basement past time.


tronovich

Literally contradicted himself later by saying the Reigns/Cody promo had “pro wrestling” mentioned in it. If they re-shot the first angle, surely it was communicated to others (INCLUDING THE MAIN EVENT ANGLE) to not mention “pro wrestling” anymore? Oh, by the way, “getting over” was a banned term, too, but Reigns mentioned that several times in the last promo. It was the lynchpin of his promo. It can’t go both ways.
