I don’t know why people are convinced advertisers care that much about 300k 47 year old white nerds. I mean, that’s a big Meltzer work to make them look good, but it is going to be funny as they have birthdays and move into the 50+ demo and suddenly Meltzer says it’s important to grow that.

475k for Rampage. Glad to see people tuned in for the CM Punk announcement and what MJF would do next.

LOL, from 1.1 million to 475,000 in 9 months, Phillip such a proven draw!

But yes, 1.48 million — a whole million more than this — is a record low.

for wwe

Needing to beat them with their own ratings is a pretty big self-own.

Not at all, but noting a record low for their product is something "to note" to those who care

Also of note would be if they were to set all time highs.

939,000 for Dynamite.

It’s lower? But how? They shot that hot angle last week. At least it isn’t in as bad shape as Raw.

I thought for sure the return of megastar cultural icon Wheeler Yuta's return woukd have pulled in at least 14 million, what happened?

Great number, AEW continuing strong!

:lol:

1.69 million for RAW

No you have it wrong. Wheeler isn't a megastar "per say" but he is a mega star in the mind of Tony Kahn so if you'd like to play into his work of imaginary you can choose to ride hard for Wheeler Yuta, the next Lex Luger!

761k for Dynamite, #2 for the night

Lmao

Forbidden Door, Forbidden Ratings

Maybe Vince paid another $3 million to Neilson to have AEW's numbers lowered

I think, realistically, to judge this cross-promotion, you’ve got to wait until the numbers are doing what I want them to do.

This was a special episode too, wasn’t it?

Oof.

What were they up against this week?

Seth Rollins LOVES when ratings for Dynamite come out!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills by the looks of it.

It’s hard to feel sorry for them.

Tony Khan after he sees this week's ratings:

Tony Khan does have a lot in common with the Desperate Housewives, beyond leading with their emotions. They’re at the same level as bookers and none of them can properly blink their eyes.

Tony has alot in common with the Real Housewives actually. They all like to spend other people's money.

331,000 for Rampage

Lmao

You beat me to posting this. Even the most hardcore followers of this are saying “Ok yeah that’s bad…”

This crossover thing has not been working for AEW. I don’t know if it’s helping New Japan any. It didn’t help Impact. But this is hurting AEW even if you considered their meek numbers impressive for whatever reason.

The handling of Punk’s injury versus the handling of Cody’s is also very exposing. Bryan has been off. The risky thing with bringing in stars, even if you misuse them, is that fans get used to them and miss them when they’re gone.

I don’t think anyone could argue that the product is getting either hotter or better.

the show oversaturated itself. the roster doesnt have the depth for 2 shows and neither does the booker

The booker, absolutely right. The roster, they have like 150 people lol.

doesn't matter if theyre all unfit to be on shotgun saturday night

A bummer because I prefer the one hour format for my rasslin

AEW has already won the Friday Night War.

To be fair, Vince hit-shotted himself on to TV, might have been almost 2 hours before Rampage started but the TV audience was clearly spent after that emotional and impassioned speech. Can’t blame them for not being able to catch a third hour of wrestling on the night.

AEW is the premier brand of wrestling in the world. It’s the hot thing no matter how popular it is.

AEW is like your art house/independent movies; objectively great, critically acclaimed, unable to break through commercially.
