For what it's worth, I thought this episode was much better than the one on January 24th this year, which I said was the least interesting episode of Dynamite I've ever seen. And the ratings for that show's Copeland vs. Suzuki main event had 737,000 people (Q8) and 705,000 people (overrun) watching.
And I don't think Copeland vs. Suzuki was even advertised until the night of? I could be wrong on this point. Whereas Ospreay vs. Fletcher was at least advertised on Revolution until Dynamite on Wednesday. So I'm not sure why even the diehards didn't want to stick around for the main event compared to Copeland vs. Suzuki from 6 weeks ago. Let alone coming off a generally well-regarded PPV.

I’m guessing it’s because Fletcher doesn’t really have any cache with the audience yet in order to hold their attention to the end of the show. It’s why some say AEW should book more star vs. star matches on the weekly shows. They do a lot of random low to midcarder takes superstar to the limit but has no chance of winning type deals. Which can be good sparingly, but is not really conducive to holding an audience for a main event.

I guess the aim is to give someone like Fletcher a match like this to increase his cache down the road. So take a short term hit with the hope of a longer term bump. I can get that. If you book every week with the sole intention of the highest weekly rating possible you are gonna burn out quickly (see Russo)

Ten pages for a damn ratings thread. Is that a record?
