A lot of people are making a big deal with it, but it was a Cage Match that promised to have some sort of development and still got under 1 million. It might do better than the usual crap, but it’s still crap that keeps them from growing.

Hypothetically, if I lease a brand new car for $20,000, then I drive it for 4 years, put tons of miles on it, get into a few crashes, then when my lease is up, I can buy the car that has depreciated in value. Now imagine that I would offer to buy that car for $100,000.

That is what Warner Bros Discovery giving AEW a billion dollars would be like.

$200 million a year might cover half the roster’s contracts.

raw 1.71

vanderpump rules - 1.89 million

dynamite - 814k

Man, Vanderpump Rules must have had an EXTRA GIANT EARTH CHANGING ANNOUCEMENT to beat Tiny's announcement by THAT much.

Tony has more money than the Vanderpumps, and he is not going to take this fucking shit anymore!!!

@xrod, I would probably bet money on Lisa Vanderpump to win that fight tbh

TV ratings don't matter anymore, it is all about the 100 or so people who vote on cagematch now :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I mean, what the fuck?!?!?

Hey, many businesses have different indicators of success.

But everyone is missing an audience, right?

Fucking lol.

raw - 1.64 million

846k for Dynamite. Killing it, fellas.

Wonder if Tiny misses him yet...

Cody’s hurt, Punk’s hurt, Regal’s hurt, the booking’s hurt. AEW sucks.

raw 1.61 million

923k for Dynamite. And that’s with an added PPV bump because of lack of interest in Double or Nothing.

Down 9.4% in the Demos from last week, even with the increase in viewers...

Suddenly they’re not crowing about them.

They were curious about CM Punk showing up.

That seems to be the consensus.

And they got a very awkwardly delivered promo from TK himself.

Who promised he would not be an on-air character.

Well he’s go the no character part down.

I’d say he’s got no on-air personality and no off-air character.

He is a cokeheaded money mark, and will never be anything else.

He might be committed at some point.

As awkward as his pre taped announcements are, they are MILES better than when he has a live mic.

raw - 1.83 millions fans tuned in to find out the latest on Cody Rhodes

That’s a bit of a jump. AEW has a chance this week.

Yep, 903k for Dynamite. That has to be considered a “high” number for them now. Punk’s returning buzz, Cody Rhodes bumping Raw and there being NBA traffic probably helped them too.

1.6 million for RAW

291k for Rampage

Damn!!! Hidden Treasures got more viewers than Rampage :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Numbers are only going to get worse for them too.

832k for Dynamite

Whoops!

And no NBA or NHL competition

Google translate: Oof!

LolAEW

Did the Collison ratings come out?

Yes, it just says "Oof."
