I wouldn’t necessarily expect them to beat SmackDown on FOX, given the network advantage, but that is on Friday night. It wouldn’t be absolutely shocking for a TV show to get more than 2.4 million viewers even on cable. I think there are millions of people who would dip in and out of wrestling if it were better.

I just don’t like the argument that the numbers are what they are and wrestling is doing the best that it can. I think it does stuff that markedly limits its audience. It’s not just AEW. WWE has done it for years and still does it now. WCW did it. But I don’t think shrugging and saying that you can’t expect them to be as successful as they once were is satisfying coverage of that. Sounds like a cop-out.
