You managed to top the one with Mox falling off the stage. Well done sir
When did Punk have them averaging a million?What is going to get them to average 950-1million though? If what is happening now, cant?
Edit: Maybe Sasha will bump the show to a million on her debut if done right, but how long will that sustain?

Do you understand how they record these ratings? There is an admitted 10% margin of error from Nielsen themselves. Gains and losses of a few thousand don’t really mean anything.When did Punk have them averaging a million?
In 2021, AEW had 7 shows over a million viewers prior to Punk’s arrival, despite 2 months of the show’s time and channel being dicked with due to NBA playoffs. In 2022, they had only 7 shows over a million viewers prior to Kenny’s return.
Punk is not some needle mover.
Helps to not have Bryan on tv losing 200k viewers at jumpstreet.Super high 90% retention rate from start to finish
Raw's was only 70%
Dynamite > Raw
they have enough talent to do a million consistently. But guys no one wants to see gets tv time (best friends, dark order, Yuta, Garcia) Guys people want to see get little to not tv time (Hobbs, FTR, Starks until recently). Guys that should be doing major angles and segments and matches are used in an uninteresting manner (Daniel Bryan).Holy shit, 4 weeks straight and not even 900 thousand. All due to failure of booking, certain people on the shows that nobody wants to see, Bucks are not moving the needle, if anything drawing it back...and Punk was a draw. Not looking good. U read also in person shows are struggling with attendance.
Sure, 'nobody' wants to see great workers like Wheeler Yuta + Daniel Garcia when they're recently maintained the viewership in their most recent TV matches, and when they've clearly connected with AEW crowds around the country over the past several monthsthey have enough talent to do a million consistently.

That's what happens when you only have to retain 840K. YIKES.Super high 90% retention rate from start to finish

lol yes, no one wants to see bland, vapid, 5’8 160lb “great workers” like Yuta or Garcia. They are miserably uninteresting. Imagine Hobbs got the attention and tv time and effort that either of these guys got in the past 6 months? You’d have a budding star comparable to Wardlow (ahh, another guy they’ve bungled).Sure, 'nobody' wants to see great workers like Wheeler Yuta + Daniel Garcia when they're recently maintained the viewership in their most recent TV matches, and when they've clearly connected with AEW crowds around the country over the past several months
They were part of one of the most watched quarterly matches/segments too for this week.
Edit:
Plus, at no point has Powerhouse Hobbs ever been consistently more over than Wheeler Yuta or Daniel Garcia. His crowd reactions are lukewarm to both those guys in comparison. I don't get why he's this highly regarded.
LOL no sonSmackdown's recent number is 1000x worse.
The inevitable is upon us... are you part of the 36% of Raw viewers who tapped out this week?That's what happens when you only have to retain 840K. YIKES.
Sorry, can't agree that IMPACT Wrestling is better..The inevitable is upon us... are you part of the 36% of Raw viewers who tapped out this week?
A better product is waiting for you
Alright, if Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia are 'miserably uninteresting' (which is obviously false because the AEW crowds are invested in these younger talents), then that doesn't bode well for Powerhouse Hobbs at all here since their crowd reactions dwarf 98% of his crowd responses.lol yes, no one wants to see bland, vapid, 5’8 160lb “great workers” like Yuta or Garcia.

Oh, of course; it's not like we have 8+ months of evidence where Wheeler Yuta was consistently over to the point where crowds regularly chanted his name (even as recently as his last few tag matches on TV).Yuta or Garcia aren’t over.
They’ve been attached at the hip to Jericho and the JAS and to Moxley/Bryan and the BCC, respectively, but they are not over.
Various wrestling crowds around the country over the last 8+ months who frequently react to both those men, and who cheer for them says otherwise. You don't speak for the rest of the AEW audience who clearly do care about Yuta and GarciaNo one cares for either of those guys.
Yeah I get that. I usually don't even factor in most things anymore, the rating is what it is, unless you get some otherworldly event, like the whole January 6th riot or something.The thing is it's become a "Boy who cried wolf" type situation when Dynamite ratings don't go up. Because for whatever reason, it's pretty much never chalked up to bad string of shows. It's always
Well this sport, this game show, politics, this holiday, hey TV in general
So when actually technical difficulties arise it's eyeroll worthy. It's not that these things aren't happening, but when everytime there's a reasoning beyond maybe the show isn't attracting new viewers it becomes pathetic.
