That's a very interesting question. I'd assume probably somewhere what Impact was getting on POP TV early on or what TNT had as expectations for Dynamite early on as the best case scenario.

Even with them signing major names, feel they would still have a tougher hill to climb than AEW or other notable promotions due to the big clash of style compared to modern wrestling and WWE.

Powerrr's main appeal has been the old school feel to the show which works now but might not transition well in another setting. Same for if it had to switch from being a weekly 1 hour taped show to being a weekly live show with or without the extra hour.

AEW's being as successful as they have been soo far pretty much was due to them having inside connections with TNT and them catering to modern and lapsed Attitude Era fans who didn't like or were tired of WWE's style of wrestling dominating the scene. Powerrr would be catering to a fanbase that's more niche these days than what AEW is going after.
