Nick Gage is a draw, brother. I was a bit surprised that there were dueling chants for him and Jericho, as I didn't think the crowd really knew him that well but I was wrong there. I could see them bringing Gage back in the future as a hitman for hire for another heel. Could easily see AEW do something with Gage and Mox at some point, to tie in to their GCW feud (which seems to be on the backburner due to one Matt Cardona being in MDK's crosshairs). |

I'm curious what the math is on how many people, or what percentage of the audience, it takes to get a chant going and to keep it sustained. I'm definitely getting the vibe that whatever percentage of the live audience watches Dark and BTE hits that mark, and that demographic may be very likely to know Gage on some level. |

AEW's Key Demo was higher than NXT's entire viewing audience this week... holy shit.
They did this against the Olympics and frankly? They did this and no one seemed to leave or be discouraged from the show with Hangman/Dark Order losing the 5 vs 5. There's a lot to be said about that. I think it shows people are interested to see what's next. People are also overall just interested in everything happening.
Next week's show is gonna be interesting with them going back to Daily's for a week. Though they're gonna have a packed house and Malakai Black's first match in AEW? I imagine they can do these numbers again or close to them.
Overall AEW's got just about everything going for em... just wait till we get even closer to the PPV...

Perhaps they knew of Gage because of Dark Side of The Ring doing an episode about him, and/or looking up more info about him after his introduction last week. |

Another great show earned another well-deserved rating. Sometimes the system works.  |

Perhaps they knew of Gage because of Dark Side of The Ring doing an episode about him, and/or looking up more info about him after his introduction last week. I think that’s partly why they brought him in, he’s red hot on the indies and being a subject on an episode on a pretty popular documentary series gives him a lot of buzz. I think by now; if you follow wrestling at a decent level, I’d wager a lot of people have heard the name Nick Gage. So I feel has a lot of intrigue about him. And AEW did an excellent job of explaining who he is and what he’s all about. If WWE somehow brought him (They wouldn’t dare but oh well,) they would treat him as someone who just came into existence and that he’s “made a little name for himself on the independents,” not treat him like a star and probably have him job in 5 minutes and nothing would mean anything. |

Also, NXT drew 520k on SyFy this week, so their entire viewing audience was below JUST the Dynamite viewers aged 18-49. It's insane that in 2019 many people predicted NXT would ruin Dynamite's ability to draw ratings. They cut into the audience head to head. Not much but enough. Just not much cross over power. But I do think even with all the other events going on I do think it's fair to say that NXT just ain't connecting |

The news and overall air about it hasn't helped but the top of their card f***ing SUCKS right now to put it lightly. It's just Kross and Raquel haven't been clicking as top champs for months... and Cole and O'Reily feels like it's been going on for ten years at this point. They have some promising stuff like Hit Row Records but their booking lately has taken a huge sep backwards imo. Along with WWE's apparent stance on them as a developmental brand, it's created a lot of apathy they don't seem in a hurry to reverse. |

NXT is almost always a good solid show with really good matches but it just feels ice cold right now. It's still by miles the best WWE show but yeah there's definitely a spark missing that used to be there. AEW blows them out the water with ease. |

WarnerMedia issues another press release touting their ratings. They were the number one show on cable for Wednesday night for the third week in a row.

If this keeps up, Tony Khan's going to be raking in the dough when it comes to re-negotiate TV deals.

Wait until Punk and Bryan come in! 1.5 million on a consistent basis may very well be attainable if the product stays hot.

I know some fans were deflated by the opening result but overall I thought the show did a great job showcasing talent and building so much stuff up for the future as well. You also got spared QT! Until next week but still a win for you  |
