Was anyone expecting major viewership for a taped show on a loaded night with limited promotion?

Was anyone expecting major viewership for a taped show on a loaded night with limited promotion? Gonna be honest with you. I am as big of an AEW apologist as there is, and I think ratings are the most antiquated metric of "success" imaginable in 2023. But, yes, I did fully expect Collision to not fall below 500,000 in its first month.

Was anyone expecting major viewership for a taped show on a loaded night with limited promotion? yeah I was expecting a very low number. I like watching Collision each week but even I was thinking about giving it a miss last weekend, with it being a taped show and me having already watched Money in the Bank the same day. This weekend's number should be a bit more interesting, up against tough competition but with a big match being promoted for the main event.

I think it's clear that people heard Harley Cameron's rap and watched rampage in the hope of hearing more.
The Colliders just can't compete with that.

MITB was on Saturday, wasn't it? I wonder how many watched three hours of that and were then done with wrestling for the day. It'll be interesting to know if the DVR numbers are good for Collision this week or if this is a genuine reflection of the Collision audience. That's a good point

Taped show on a holiday weekend night following a loaded PLE. If it stays like this, then there are issues but for now I call this a blip.

Time to start building the show around Juice Robinson instead.

They should hire a female mascot for the show who also wrestles. Name her Pina Collider and let her sing a modified version of "Escape" as the show's theme. That would be my fix.

That demo is not good at all for what they’re going for with this show as an A show, and as Thurston pointed out, cheap movies that were being run in that slot were performing similarly.
However, have to think holiday weekend, no Punk match advertised, MITB earlier, etc had something to do with it. I’d expect this week’s rating to more closely resemble week 2.

I want the Elite to make one of their passive aggressive shots by calling Dynamite the A Show just to watch the reaction online to it.

And honestly i will blame Punk, not for being a bad wrestler of course.
He has his loyal fanbase ,but he made collision the " me vs dynamite/ the Elite show" he is the one that made it clear you are with me or f*** off.
And most people f***ed off.

I think it's a little early to be that fatalistic, but it is always stupid for a company to compete with itself. It was dumb when WWE used to do it during the height of the brand split, and it's incredibly dumb that AEW is doing it now against the backdrop of real life animosity. It does feel like there's a serious potential for it to backfire spectacularly.

Punk is the tablet controller and the disgruntled folks are IDK Nintendoland. Potential to be fun but lacking an identity and that big easy to explain hook to entice the audience with.
