Eric Bischoff Calls out The reported 500k add on AEW viewership numbers on MAX
“It’s another-it’s just a big-it’s just a number pulled out of the air. It’s kind of like…
there’s no backup to it, there’s no receipt, there’s no documentation, there’s no reference, there’s no credibility, there’s no source.
It’s just the guy saying it.
and then Tony, in a press conference, saying, ‘I’ve heard those reports too.’ Which means he’s not confirming it, and he’s not denying it-but he loves the attention. That’s what all this is. This is more Dave Meltzer: throwing numbers around, stating facts, and planting information that people get to talk about on the internet.”

He’s not wrong. It was the first thing I thought, too. “Says who?” You have to check your source, every time. If it’s a known, unreliable source (whether you agree with their personal/political views or not is irrelevant, we’re talking about their actual job of gathering and reporting information here), like Uncle Dave, then you have to take that information with a grain of salt. Speaking of which, has any one seen the new WM IX doc on peacock? There’s a shot of a newspaper article that was supposedly written by an knowledgeable reporter that couldn’t have been more wrong if they tried. It’s disgustingly awful. That’s the point, though. Don’t just read the news and say “Well, I guess they went a different direction” when it doesn’t pan out. If it’s wrong, it’s wrong. Judge the source based on their actual record of reporting. If they’re wrong 95% of the time, why trust them? “Plans changed” is a cop out for getting busted not knowing what you’re talking about. Dave is worse than certain politicians who turn a grain of truth into an encyclopedia of lies. Stop falling for it! Check the source! They either get it right or not! Lord!! It’s not THAT hard!
It’s streaming numbers i don’t know if the numbers are released I saw somewhere it was 500k views between broadcast and streaming. I don’t think anyone really knows
