Tony needs to rename the show to Corrosion, since that is what AEW's ratings are doing.
Collapsing
😂😂😂
Explosion / Implosion / Erosion etc 😅
Why watch the Royal Rumble when you can watch "Nick Wayne" wrestle...
@@windsweptjoe442 i’d take those 15 minutes than that waste of 4 royal hours yikes
why put Nick Wayne in quotation marks like that? it's his name, you should've put them on wrestle
I wouldn't even tune in to watch Bruce Wayne wrestle over the Royal Rumble 😂
@@scentofslaughter8854well we know that you’re a burner account, so no one cares about your opinion anyway. We do all get a good laugh out of your terrible attempts at trolling though
@ the trolling is so bad that the same 10 sad kids come and comment lmao
Collision should be renamed Collapse
Implosion.
The only thing it's colliding with is the floor at Nielsen...
AEW Prolapse

@@wilcee238 nah that sounds too cool
A Harley Cameron weekly ventriloquism show would do better ratings than Collision, and I'm being dead serious.
I think she’s great. Very entertaining and better than a lot of the women in ring
It's crazy to think that more sicko's would tune in to see Harley do a 30 min weekly show than actually support their "favorite" wrestling promotion that "saved" wrestling.
Jim’s ad reads are more entertaining than AEW
Shock, a show tailored specifically to Dave Meltzer isn’t popular
This is getting old now. I only watch WWE but people are now criticizing AEW every time they breathe. Even though I'm a WWE fan I can see how childish it is it's like a high school campus.
I believe the theory that it's him giving advice to Tony
@@One.Zero.One101 guess what pal….if you did watch AEW, you’d criticize it everyday. No it’s no old and childish. The show SUCKS so bad it’s kinda unreal and people like to mock it. So idk what the heck you are talking about buddy
@@One.Zero.One101 You are watching a Jim Cornette video, did you expect people to be lying in the comments that everything is okay on this...secondary promotion (lol)?
@@One.Zero.One101 So what do you suggest people should do? lie to themselves and everybody else, pretending that steaming pile of shit AEW is, is good? 🤣
Colishun got CRUCIFIED against the Royal Rumble 😂
**Correction! Collision Crucified itself, Royal Rumble just came in too beat a dead horse😂😂
They're doing Rampage numbers now.
This was January 25ht too ... Not against the Rumble, this was against SNME when they averaged 250k, against the Royal Rumble on Feb 1st they averaged even worse - 197k
@@NJTRAF it doesnt matter tbh lol AEW is just a Circus thru n thru
@@alankidd6832 yes but just making the point that it was even WORSE against the Rumble. If WWE is running SNME every month, plus a PPV, they’ll absolutely annihilate the Collision ratings 2 weeks per month from its already terrible ratings. Then add in WWE “Evolve” which is seemingly like a Developmental for NXT, which is a Developmental for WWE so I’m not entirely sure how they’re gonna run that one, but it’s airing the same time as Dynamite on Wednesdays… WWE could potentially steal away another 100k-200k from Dynamite 😂😂😂 … I have no idea who is planning shot over in WWE right now but they are being RUTHLESS at cutting AEW’s legs out from under them
That thumbnail is just like the nightmares Tony Khan has about CM Punk.
Stop teasing the man. He still has PTSD whenever he sits in front of a monitor
He got flashback when Punk brawling with Seth at the Rumble PLE and Raw @@sykosiz5785
"Everything is GREAT. The matches are great, the key demo is great, the merch sales are great, the booking is great, the match star ratings are great, the catering is great, the numbers are great, the ticket sales are great, the injuries are great, the NDAs are great, working for that audience is great, the EVPs are great, my Soccer team is great, the moon is great, the sun is great, now I'm off to the press conference to eat a big fat plate of GGRREEEAAATTT!!!"

It's Khan btw.

Now is a good time to mention that Warner brothers might file for bankruptcy.
Don't tease me with a good time.
I bet they wish they splurged on the NBA now.
That rumor has been peddled since mid-2023 fella.
They've got MULTIPLE divisions they can sell a handful of that would generate enough bank to stay afloat for decades to come, sorry to disappoint.
i mean thats not news tho weve known that for a long time... if the superman movie bombs and it will theyaare cooked
@@ThatsMrMaxHeadroomToYou i mean it isnt a rumour its public information... also if you think them selling off shit means keeping this garbage indy mudshow thats hilarious
These ratings sounded like the stock exchange in 1929
Ad starts at 6:00
Heroes do exist.
Spoiler alert!
Stay for the best boxing 😂
And skip Jim accusing Brian of having "Cosby Consciousness"?? No thank you!
@@snoweverywhere Brian definitely did not like that one, and the ad went off the rails after that. LOL
Saw a video of MJF at an autograph signing complaining about how AEW can’t sell tickets with Moxley as champion. Safe to say he’s regretting that tattoo 😂
Huh
@@Miguel-mp7uzExactly 🤔
@ meant to say “Max at an autograph signing”. Fixed it, thanks for catching that.
@shiningwizard202 ah ok I was like why would mox complain he was champion lmao
@@Miguel-mp7uz 😂😂 post work bowl hit pretty hard today I guess
Collision is the new Rampage.
Collision is just a waste of money at this point.
If there's one thing Tony's great at, it's wasting money.
6:26 Jim trying to do the beatbox and somehow comparing it to Hee-Haw is kinda hilarious 😂😂
Collision has deteriorated to the point where it's now a televised house show with the odd inconsequential promo in between the matches. It's sad, really.
@@acotbc you still watch lol
@@scentofslaughter8854I highly doubt it. The ratings keep proving you wrong, but at least you try
But we get to see Boring Vanilla Daniel Garcia wrestle on Collision defending a worthless belt
@ just look at sd ratings and how they fallen
@scentofslaughter8854 I mean, they've gone from TV to cable in less homes again so a drop was expected. I will concede however, since RAW has debuted on Netflix they haven't even bothered trying with SD anymore. It's 3 hours of nothing.
Collision is like a fart in an elevator 😅
😂😂😂
More people have experienced a fart in an elevator than have seen Collision.
A wet one or a “did you smell that too or was it just me” fart? 😂
@ I think it’s wet, putrid and the person has a blocked nose and maybe a loose sphincter as they’re oblivious to what they’ve done and how bad it is 😂
@d.52555 silent and violent.
Unfortunately i feel like collision has hit the guardrail and went right over a cliff. Yikes these ratings are incredibly bad.
Corny and Brian are the best in the world
3:17 the “hounds of hell” sounds like something you would’ve named zilla and Jacob Fatu
I was just watching the undisputed era in nxt and the difference is night and day. They look like mega stars, now I change the channel when I see them
Oddly enough I've been watching some old B&G era NXT recently and yeah, it's crazy how much better they were. WWE is absolutely spot on when it comes to presentation. Adam Cole even physically looks much better. He's still small in stature but looks tanned, more shredded and generally healthier lol
@ right ! He looked like a big star in nxt
I know. Undisputed Era was why I started watching NXT again at that time.
They never looked like stars. None of them are exceptional in any way. They’re all about 5’9” and 175 lbs.
The commercial at the end was my favorite part 😂
NOBODY APPRECIATES ME!!! - Tony Khanman
"I'M NOT GONNA SELL!
I'M NOT GONNA F'N SELL FOR THESE GUYS!!!" 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Since Tony is allegedly getting over $500 million for the tv contract, why doesn’t he just completely change the show, drop the wrestling and just produce one of those funny clips tv shows. It will cost very little to produce since it will just be videos he’s stole off TikTok, plus he won’t have to lose tens of millions on moxley, Jericho, Mercedes or Okada. They’ll actually make a profit that way 🤣
You are delusional
They really should just cancel Collision. It's just another show no one watches
Tony uses that for punishments. You better behave or I'm sending you to Collision
I bet Tony Kahn FEARS this because remember the reason why Tony Kahn created Collision was to separate cm punk from the other parties involved in that fight. This was AFTER Tony said in a media conference that he thought it was a “good thing” for there to be conflict between talent in thr locker room lol. So he literally made collision because he didn’t have the courage to simple address thr conflict HEAD ON and directly. Instead he chose the passive aggressive route. Canceling collision would get attention on these facts that Tony doesn’t want I’m sure lol. Because it doesn’t “serve him” as he told Ariel Helwani as the tonwhy he refused to have a conversation
@@ShaneKraemerthis makes sense. Remember he created collision as a passive aggressive cowardly way to address the conflict between punk and the other side of brawl out. so it makes sense that he still does that. Ya know instead of directly addressing problems in a normal way a leader should and set clear boundaries and expectations lol
@@Weedhustleloverespect you still watch lmao
They can't cancel Tony's dad paid alot of money for that show
“Cosby consciousness” 🤣🤣
“ pudding pop “
We NEED to see that WB tv deal . What has gotten khan spooked to overload a show that NOBODY watches in Collison and it continues to fail. Did wb order for higher ratings?
Isn't there supposedly an "early out clause" for WB??? I swear I read that somewhere in the small print when Meltzer reported it.
@jjthecat9692 I wonder too. Or wb can swap their time slot and put on ANOTHER 2 hours of Big Bang theory lol
WB most likely has a opt out clause if the ratings are low. They gave up the NBA for this
Remember. Tony was really feeling himself after this show. He had to have his fellow marks make bullshit puff pieces about his creativity right after.
I heard he feels himself during the shows as well, especially when orange cassidy is in the ring.
This week (up against rumble) had 197,000 😂😂😂
According to the Dubaloos - 400k = 750k
@@darthraider450 wwe has such good ratings that every eclown is cruing online about royal rumble lmao
lol...I'm thinking La Parker (may he rest in peace) wouild be a headliner with this AEW roster. The La Parka Strut >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything the Bucks/Kenny Olivier/JungleJagoff/The Plumber do 🤣
WWE SNME 1,000,000+
AEW Collision 100,000+
No competition huge difference
They had more people in the arena for the Rumble than the "key demo" was watching this show at the end
I see what you mean about Harley Cameron being a ventriloquist Brian. If she just did that and didn’t wrestle, she would be tolerable.
Travis Heckel never disappoints when it comes to his artwork. As a huge animal lover was watching a wolf documentary. Now everytime I see another wolf documentary I am going to imagine the ratings word printed on the wolf.😆😆
I think Powerhouse Hobbs is a great old school name. I could see that name appearing on old school newspaper ads and flyers.
The beat boxing impression😂
6:28 f i r e
If you're AEW, do you even try to compete with Saturday Night Main Event, or do you just call up all the guys that you've been paying to sit on the couch?
Why would they report max numbers it will only bring their averages down.
The guitarist for Strawberry Alarm Clock went on to be a,founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Ed King
These names are killing me 😂
Collision should be renamed to implosion.
Collision barely covers the cost of its opening theme.
I’m a sucker for any Hee Haw reference.
Tony needs to name the show “Khantlisten” because he will never change his mindset on this stuff or actually listen to the crowd
I wonder if Jim can go 1 clip without exhaling like an 18 wheeler.
You can’t make this shit up
lmaoooo jim burying max funniest thing ever
AEWs decline over the last year or so needs to be studied. Theyre down quite significantly in literally every metric possible, meanwhile, WWE is absolutely smashing it out of the park. The old narrative "a high tide raises all ships" has been blown to pieces.
It doesn’t need to be studied. Wrestling is dead and so it’s no surprise that AEW failed. Even WWE isn’t doing that well outside of the wrestling bubble. Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns aren’t household names nor are they recognizable by the public.
5:50 thanks for clarifying Brian, because rappers are most definitely not musicians.
Harley Cameron should be called the puppet master and come out with a puppet of herself. That would draw ratings.
I bet aew is going to start a ratings wasv with WWE evolve on tubi
WWE is gonna have a show on every platform soon. I wonder how long till we get WWE ID on YT ?
Blue Bloods gets cancelled, but, "Collision" lives on. 😂
There was a time I would've tried to watch both Collision and the Rumble/SNME. Nowadays, AEW just isn't worth the battery on my phone.
Are there any wrestlers still being isolated on Collision, who apparently can't work on Dynamite or ROH? Or is Collision still on air to prevent from admitting it was just there to facilitate divisions in the locker room?
I have Max and have tried watching on Wednesdays a few weeks. The fact I have the show saved and still need to search to watch it - those Max numbers can't be shit.
And this is why you don't put a big angle like Toni Storm's reveal on a show you know is going to have lower viewership.
I remember when collision would average 500k or 400k even the debut did 600k, but after they fired Punk and after Daniel Bryan replaced Punk with the Ricky Starks feud, the show took a dive.
An animated show based on Travis's thumbnail art would get better ratings.
They got 197k this weekend against the Royal Rumble.
With these ratings, I had no idea TNT and Warner/Discovery loved burning money!
Ted Turner did not care either when it was WCW
Did they ever review The Acclaimed breaking up a couple weeks ago on collision?
that raycon ad was nasty
Oh! Sweet Jesus on a Saturday night!
How come there's never a WWE RAW and Smackdown ratings segment? RAW went from 5 mil to 3 mil in two weeks on Netflix, a far starker drop than 1.5 mil to 600,000 over a five year time.
NO C.M.PUNK, NO MONEY MONEY
I finally forced myself to watch this entire show as I normally give up most of the time 15 minutes into it, I can honestly say they need to cancel Collision.
Their writing was crap. You don't care about anyone as they don't care about putting on a good show. There are no Heels or Faces as everyone acts like a Heel. You have no one to cheer for.
Why bother watching a show where you want everyone to lose?
AEW is written by a child and the talent all just wants to do whatever they want, and no one wants to put anyone else over.
I have ZERO respect for anyone who says that this dhow was good and that they are a fan of AEW. You have zero taste, and no one should ever trust your opinion if you call yourself an AEW fan.
Sooooo... theirs around 2.5 to 3 billion people that have access to Collison & less than 190,000 people watching it 😅
AEW Collision has become WCW Thunder 2.0
They only lost 74k from quarter 1-2 with that garbage? Samoa Joe deserves a raise.
I would have thought the Royal Rumble would not affect collision ratings since AEW is the place where “ the best “ wrestle
Why is Collision still a thing? In fact… why was it ever a thing? I understand Tony’s big plan to keep CM Punk happy was give him his own show. But they already had Rampage which had long been irrelevant. Why not just send Punk to Rampage and try and revive their failing show before they add more to their workload? WWE were already doing their PLEs on Saturdays, it’s not like they’re deliberately counter programming here. Pretty sure Vince didn’t create Saturday Night’s Main Event because he knew there was a six year old son of a billionaire who would one day run a wrestling show on Saturdays.
These numbers are what TNA were pulling on Pop, right?
Toni Storm needs to get in contact with Cody and CM Punk asap
Collision should be called Train Wreck 😂
Last Saturday is probably a massacre since it's head to head against the Rumble PLE
It was. 197,000
We are waiting for The Royal Rumble review. Especially the 'Speed' segment
"Who the fuck is this dead Speed guy Brian?"-Jim Cornette
Whatever happened to that AEW extreme clip show that aired after Collision?
Remember Collision was meant to be a Punk's show as soon as he left, it took a nosedive.
Collision AND Dynamite are so bad I swear Tony is intentionally tanking AEW, he wants to be thrown off TV and he doesnt want people to buy tickets. It's amazing how bad the booking is.
Less Collision more mild nudge.
Tis what I’ve been waiting for
Holy shit if hook was taz’s son he’d be serving me McDonald’s
I would rather watch AEW thumb-wrestle than watch whatever they're doing. Tony should consider starting the first televised thumb -wrestling federation.
AEW: Witness Protection
The Rumble head to head did under 200k
*AEW needs to just change the name from Collision to PROLAPSE.*
I'm surprised these cowards don't talk about WWE losing millions of viewers especially on Netflix 😂
thats mathematically impossible tbf so why wud they do that
Wrestling community at this moment: “wow jey uso won the rumble”
Jim: “AEW’s ratings….”
Jim Cornette’s clips are always a week behind. This was in comparison to SNME
@ thanks for letting me know I didn’t notice at all
I wonder what triple H would do with Samoa Joe. I believe the last time he was in the WWE Vince was in charge. I hope he ends up there within a year or so so he can have one more great match with CM Punk.
Elite drones salty in the chat lol, I wanna know why wwe is open to sharing the ratings on netflix, but aew isn't open to sharing theres on Max?🤔I think the only one who knows the answer to this question is WBD, and I gruantee you once this tv deal is up, it's game over for AEW it could be sooner if i was WBD and I saw the horrible stories and decline I would be like you eithet FIX it or we are opting out of the deal you have estimated time to fix it, if You dont fix it we will give you your money and get your content off our subscription library if this happens aew will die! CRY ALL ELITE DRONES CRY! 😂🔥keep doing what you're doing cornette love the podcast/honesty, brother!
It will be worse for Royal Rumble. Half of that 250,000
I tend not watch live shows to avoid commercials so I didn’t watch either live. Anyway, I know it gets hate, which has been earned, but I really do find the last couple Collision episodes to be entertaining. It has been better than Dynamite overall IMO
Is it true aew gonna have their Australian show right after the NBA all-star on the same night?
SNME is utterly destroying Collision.
The ratings would go up if they put it on a different night........maybe
AEW drew 5,197,000 viewers against thr Royal Rumble.
197,000 on TNT.
5,000,000 on MAX.
WooooooooW
