Good rating. Is this the first time that they have been no. 1 in the demo? Yep, this is history for them Some idiots on the Internet will bitch about how this show didn't get 1.3 Million or above but they were the number one show in all of cable, and they never did it before. That's one of the biggest wins in company history. If being No.1 for the night is bad then I don't know what to tell people.

Some might be disappointed by the total viewer number, but yesterday was Cinco De Mayo, and there's a whole lot of newly vaccinated people dying to get out of the house, and they were still #1 in the demo. And while I watched it, I just got my 2nd vaccination on Tuesday and felt like death so that could effect it too

I think we were all expecting the higher viewership number but it's still a clear, clear win for them. #1 on cable is a huge achievement for a brand that's just two years old.

Little shocked by the viewership number. I was thinking 1.3-1.5 for this show. Number 1 in the demo is great, though.

Got my second shot that Tuesday afternoon, and then more or less observed Dynamite in a fever and body-ache fueled trance.

I read a comment on reddit that said AEW has a bigger demo than any other 2 shows in the day combined.

I figured the viewership would be higher, but Cinco de Mayo probably was a drag on it. Still definitely a win coming in at #1, though hopefully they can go back up in viewers next week.

twitter.com/The_MJF/status/1390400179417780226?s=19Also yeah Cinco de Mayo being a big drinking day likely effected the numbers as well. Same thing happened on St Patty's day. Of course just for fun we can blame SCU because they are so cold right now... that's not a troll job I just like ragging on SCU right now

I completely forgot it was Cinco de Mayo, but then I care more about it being Revenge of the Fifth.

Raw did .55 in the male demo in Hour 3 this week.

It's fun to see the numbers and realize that AEW is growing, but I try not to read too deep into them, because in the end TNT/Turner are the ones who make the final call.
It's super cool to see them be #1 in the demo, though. It means Wrestling finally feels big like it did over 20 years ago. It will probably never reach the cultural heights it did then, but it does mean there's a clear audience for it and it's not just relegated to kids and hardcore fans.

Also, I'd love to see the quarter breakdowns, because that's going to be interesting for a 1 match show that went about 45 minutes. Yeah, I’m quite interested. Matches of that length are often ratings killers, although I think some of WWE’s gauntlet matches have held strong or increased.

I mean, the one at the start of 2019 with Kofi going all the way was a ratings hit and literally the reason WWE did a billion gauntlet matches that year.

We underestimate the size of the casual audience. The IWC is only a tiny spec of the community, even if we are rabid 😂

People are harsher on RAW for the sheer bulk of fans they've lost even over a 5 year span to now, though yes they never get number one taken away and that's why they get the big bucks.
