Curious if the same people who told us Punk isn’t a draw after last weeks rating will carry the same energy. Advertised to wrestle and they are up 28% in total viewers, 62% in the demo.

I definitely think the number can and should be better but it’s a fine start. And if there’s any doubt on who is winning the Owen, there shouldn’t be.

That's the reason for that energy. If you set stupid 1m expectations you're also setting yourself up for failure even if ratings are fine.

Viewers going up at the end of a show is relatively rare so fair play. On the flipside is the ceiling of what he can draw and what's the floor with or without him?

Would suggest it'll be rare it'll go above this rating or whatever this week's will be assuming a stacked card leads to an increase.

Those are salient points. We could also look at the flip side of what someone like the Young Bucks would do on a Saturday.

Joe/Punk was definitely well promoted, good use of ROH history/the ROH tape library to show the feud prior.

(now turn Collision into its own brand and give them the ROH belts + TNT title )

Again, I think last week's rating had more to do with a holiday weekend than anything

If the first QH didnt start that low they couldve beaten NASCAR and clinch 4th place on cable.

TK has a tough decision in which match should close this weeks show, either Ricky/Punk or FTR/BCG tag title match.

Opening quarter was the lowest, that seems pretty rare

Only two pages, knew it was a bounce back from that alone lmfao

Glad to see it, if it settles in around the high 500K-600K I think they'll take that if it keeps staying a top 5 in cable. That had to be the plan putting it on Saturdays

Punk/Joe also drew fans and a good demo, don't see the point comparing it to NXT given they're almost a week apart and NXT has a much more established dedicated core of fans

Collision is doing well establishing itself four weeks in, that 2 out of 3 falls tag match and the finals next week stand to get the number even higher, potentially.

Either the audience got bored of that tag match like I did or TK needs to put a blue dot on Christian ASAP.

The Tag match did go a tad long for my liking. By the end I was hoping someone would get pinned to just end it rather than wanting it to keep going. Good match overall, just a tad a long for me.

Pretty good show but this constant back and forth of "wow that's not a great rating" to "uwu see its better this time hahahaha" well aware of the shit that's being pulled is going to get so old.

I kinda want to call that the "oh shit I forgot there was wrestling on Saturdays now" effect lol.

I'm curious what Collision's DVR numbers are. IIRC, Dynamite's usually hover around 15% while Rampage's are around 50%.

And you know what? That Scorpio Sky match was way too long as well. Shouldn't have lasted over a commercial break. And you're trying to make Scorpio Sky into this big deal, he should've just ended Andretti quickly.

Eh, I liked that they gave Andretti a good showing. No reason you can't build both up at the same time.

Have Scorpio sky defeat some out of control narcissistic mentor and he’d be my new favorite wrestler.

Rampage even ranked 5th on Cable despite having a lower rating than Collision, but hey the Rammers should be happy they tied Collision in the rankings!
