Will WWE counter program All In this August? "Let's just say they both draw 50,000 within a week apart. That's a big psychological win for AEW because it shows that they're 'on par' 'in the game' which is exactly what WWE doesn't wanna show." - Dave Meltzer

"If you're WWE, the one thing you don't wanna do with a big show is come right after an AEW show on the same day. It's almost like we're watching something in slow motion." - Dave Meltzer

Why did Chris Jericho choose AEW over WWE? "WWE told me they wanted him for a retirement tour and that was it. With AEW perhaps he was going to get more longevity. All things equal, and they're never all equal, I thought WWE was the place for him to go." - Dave Meltzer

Dave Meltzer on Road Dogg's claim regarding Austin & Colton Gunn and the AEW Tag Titles: "It ain't beneath anyone to be tag team champions in AEW. It's funny because his claim to fame is being tag team champions in WWE. He is of the opinion that people who are stars should not be tag team champions. It is beneath them. If you think what WWE does is the only way to go... you're gonna be too narrow minded for AEW. That's just a fact of life." - Dave Meltzer

"They need to play up that Ospreay/Omega match huge. If you don't give historical significance to it on your own television it's meaning will go away. That's one of the reasons why certain WWE matches get over so big is because they keep pushing them. AEW doesn't do that. This one they really need to emphasize." - Dave Meltzer

"There's a really big difference between the booking of the two companies. I feel that AEW is the one that's on the rise and WWE is the one that's on the decline... very slowly, don't get me wrong." - Dave Meltzer

Dave Meltzer says that WWE supplied misleading Collision Fast National numbers this past week for bad PR purposes. “Sunday I start getting texts from people who were just like: ‘did they really only do 122,000 viewers and 34,000 in 18-49 for Collision?’ This was a number supplied by WWE and for those of you who think like WWE isn’t concerned about AEW or it's a one-sided thing… AEW is in a war with WWE and you know, it’s a pro wrestling war. These pro wrestling wars are insidious, they are brutal. They’re both in a public relations war.”

"It feels like WWE is in a lull. I don't find anything on the show to be super exciting. The matches are relatively good, the booking is relatively stable, they don't do any stupid things, they're business is great... but they're missing a spark." - Dave Meltzer

Ryan Garcia appeared on WWE Raw: "If you're not in jail you're fair game for WWE. It's fine. It's a consistent policy. There was outrage to it but if that guy would've been on AEW there would've been 10 times the outrage. I really am starting to think that the outrage stuff is tribal." - Dave Meltzer

Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay's feud "is a lot deeper than a WWE feud. WWE, you're used to very shallow. They tried to go a little deeper with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. AEW gears itself for people who are really really into it with the idea that if you challenge them they're going to be more into it. Some people say it's not simple enough or I don't wanna think this much and they're not wrong. It's good to have different types of wrestling and different types of appeal." - Dave Meltzer

Regarding WWE ticket prices: "One of the things I always hear that's so ridiculous is that 'Vince would never do this to us.' Yes, he would. I've never heard a promoter who knows a price that will sell out a building that will under charge for it. It doesn't exist. There was not a demand under Vince for these prices." - Dave Meltzer

It's becoming harder and harder to be a heel in WWE... "These fans... they don't wanna boo anybody. When they are heels, they cheer them. A lot of these guys that are babyfaces became babyfaces because the crowd cheered them." - Dave Meltzer

What would it take for AEW to overtake WWE? "The only example we have of the #2 becoming the #1 was WCW in 96/97, it was because they got Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, Hall and Nash. They had the star power edge. For AEW to fully takeover they got to sign Roman Reigns and John Cena... and it's just not going to happen." - Dave Meltzer

Exactly everything that was just said they would have smeared president Trump's name over all the media that they own no doubt they're covering up for their Democrat people. That's exactly what they're doing. They know they're in there. That's just my opinion. It's just a thought.

2025 was a record breaking year for CMLL. "1.1 million paid spectators at Arena Mexico [in 2025] which is another all time record for any arena in the history of wrestling. They ended the year with 63 or 64 sellouts so they actually did have more than WWE." - Dave Meltzer
