Impact never came close to WWE programming. Dynamite clearly beats Raw in total viewers in the U.S., but not Smackdown, but was 294,000 shy this past week not including MAX so it's 100% of Smackdown homes vs. 60% of Dynamite homes.
AEW Wednesday did 616K/0.10 in 18-49 and 0.18 in 25-54 (which is a crazy differential). Don't have placings or competition yet but obviously World Cup & NBA draft (NXT had both as well as competition). This is panel+big data, not incuding MAX. Panel alone (system until September) added 21% fo Smackdown and 23% to Dynamite in viewers last week, and even more in key demos.
Bengals defensive line now has Boye Mafe, Dexter Lawrence, BJ Hill, Jonathan Allen, Cashius Howell, Myles Murphy, Shemar Stewart, among others.
It’s loaded.
I don’t trust dirtsheets or accounts with Wrestle in their title but let’s play a game. If McAfee’s promo was completely off script (and I really hope it was) and that caused Cody to have that promo later then give me more of that. And it’s actually believable to me. Very few writers in wrestling have the ability to write that kind of stuff. I also changed my promos and the talent like Pat or Cody who are great on the mic can deliver moments like that. During the attitude era top promo guys would free style and do their own thing. That’s wrestling. Not rereading words on a script that a 22 year old kid fresh out of college can’t possibly have the ability to feel in order to write.
Triple H is to blame for the last 2 years of garbage. He deserves the blame for the terrible weekly television we have gotten coming out of WrestleMania 40
I don't blame him for last night's Pat McAfee fiasco. They are actively trying to sabotage him during their busiest season of the year. He's the one going to get the blame for this year being a flop. Meanwhile it was TKO's decision to run Mania in Vegas again, inflate ticket prices 25-30% over last year. The fact that it is all down this year, it has prompted Ari Emanuel to start making requests creatively.
Ask yourself this. If Vince McMahon was still there, would Ari Emanuel tell Vince McMahon what he needs to do creatively? Highly unlikely.
Triple H will be out in 18-24 months. 7 Bucks Productions will take over. And Brian Gewirtz will be running creative.
How about try this on, @PatMcAfeeShow is means to and end to elevate the story and he is a damn good entertainer. The fun thing for me is that for McAfee to be involved, I truly believe it will be @TheRock it is going to blow the roof off if it happens
Drew, they messed up the initial reveal with someone who hasn’t been factored into anything since a match with Gunther last summer. A blunder like this is going to turn people off from a potential second reveal. They have no reveal after this. This was it.
People (not you) are saying there is another potential reveal after this and to wait because this was so fucking terrible.
@TheRajGiri serious question not trying to rile up fan bases. If we can get total viewership for TNA both weeks, how can we not get it for Dynamite or Collison?

Thank you all who watched
Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite
Winter Is Coming, TONIGHT!
It’s just my personal opinion: tonight was one of my favorite @AEWonTV shows this year!
If you didn’t see Dynamite Winter is Coming tonight,
it’s on TBS West right NOW,
+ on HBO Max right NOW too!
Joe Burrow’s presser today felt very reflective — and at times, a bit dark:
"If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing it. I have been through a lot. If it's not fun, then what am I doing it for?"
Later on: "There's just a lot of things going on right now."
