Wrestling isn't popular or cool these days and probably never will be again. Yet this new company produces smash ratings each week, finishes in the top 5 of Cable on Wednesday nights, has a video game deal, toys in every major retailer and hasn't even existed for 2 years, that's great in 2021 for a new wrestling company. No company has probably had that level of success since WWWF re-branded to WWF or NWA became WCW on TBS. There's really no way to look at AEW without seeing how impressive that is. 700-800k in live ratings is an incredible metric for AEW each week. The fact that when Live + 7 is figured in they are over a million is terrific.
Lol, take away the young qualifier and it’s not the hottest company. WWE still is, whether people want to confront that or not.

TNT expecting 400k viewers is complete bullshit, by the way. It was said to be 500k by Meltzer, who never gave that any context and was probably low-balling to make AEW look good. He explained his reasoning once, and that was because B/R Live will get subscribers and that can be subtracted from the average viewership on TNT. Absolute wank.
