Greetings, comrades! It's your El Presidente, reporting live from a secret underground bunker deep beneath the Titan Towers, where I've been spying on the nefarious activities of the WWE CEO. Nick Khan. Comrades, if there is one thing I have learned from my various battles with the American CIA, it is that a capitalist corporation is never too big to use underhanded tactics to suppress its competition and maintain a monopoly on the means of sports entertainment production. This is exactly what Khan and WWE are allegedly doing, according to a report by our great comrade Dave Meltzer in the latest issue of Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Meltzer reports that WWE paid thousands of dollars per episode to collect ratings data for the “Fast Nationals” episodes of AEW Dynamitewhich airs Wednesday nights on TBS. Fast Nationals are rough viewership calculations done the day after a show airs, and they are often inaccurate when compared to the final ratings. However, when the Fast Nationals show, AEW DynamiteViewership numbers are low, the report says, and WWE is passing on this misleading data to gossip magazines and reporters to cover AEW DynamiteSuccess or failure before the final ratings are announced.

Comrades, your El Presidente knows a thing or two about controlling narratives. Why, just the other day, Raul Castro and I exchanged experiences about our preferred methods of suppressing dissent (mine is to get my enemies to Rawhis is far more humane). But even I wouldn't stoop so low as to obtain preliminary data under false pretenses and leak it just to make my competition look bad. This is a typical CIA tactic, and believe me, I know it. How many times has the CIA tried to make El Presidente look bad by leaking photos of my American mistresses or my collection of rare Funko Pops, funded with taxpayer money earmarked for social programs? More times than I can count, comrades.

The irony is that the WWE is simultaneously acting as if it is too big to be AEW Dynamitewhile pursuing tactics aimed at AEW Dynamite on every corner. One day they say they are not competing with AEW Dynamitethe next day they reveal numbers to try to AEW Dynamite look bad. It's the same hypocrisy that we see every day in the American government, comrades.

Sean Ross Sapp has confirmed Meltzer's report on social media site X and responded to several WWE Astroturf or Stan accounts that called Meltzer a liar and even pointed out that he was a reporter that WWE wanted to leak the numbers to directly. El Presidente gives kudos to Comrade Sapp for his integrity in reporting and for not falling for WWE's tricks even when his capitalist subscription service runs counter to my own socialist ideals.

Since Vince McMahon left WWE in a scandal, many WWE fans want to believe that the company has become babyface. But if these reports are true, and El Presidente sees no reason to doubt it, WWE is still the same villain it always was, using dirty tricks to maintain its stranglehold on the wrestling business, just like it has since Vince drove the territory system out of business. Meet the new boss, who is just like the old boss when The WHO As has been said before, they too have sold themselves out and become capitalist pigs.

Finally, comrades, we must never underestimate how far a capitalist company will go to bury its rivals. For this reason, El Presidente always supports AEW Dynamite And Tony Khanwho would certainly be a great socialist folk hero if it were not for the unfortunate fact of his birth as a billionaire capitalist pig. But in the fight between two billionaires we must choose the lesser of two evils, and that is why dynamite will be broadcast every Wednesday night from 8pm to 10pm on El Presidente's 95″ LED TV. Until next time, comrades: Socialism or death!
