Same demo as last week, quite noticeable drop with the 50+ people

One thing that's surprising is they're actually way up with women compared to last week. Expected a lot of them to dip after the Lambert segment.

Solid number overall. Looks like they finally solidified their audience after the switch on the west coast. While a switch to another network typically hurts a show, they should be set up for success next week. They're in primetime nationwide, have a better lead in, and have a loaded card. And unlike some previous switches other shows have gone through (like RAW leaving USA for Spike), they're staying within the same family of networks so they're going to receive a ton of promotion for it (and already have). And plus, every cable station I've ever used literally has TBS and TNT right next to each other. It should be an easy switch.

Its weird, I feel like people expect Lambert to kill ratings all the time and he never does I think Brandi also just naturally gets women to show up, despite what some people think of her abilities in ring or on the mic |

That's a great number to end on TBH. They actually increased the demo a little even with a slight dip in overall viewership.
Next week I would expect a bigger number, given the card and you would hope with the West Coast feed nonsense fixed and maybe even a new potential chunk of audience to be had from TBS. But I guess we'll see if the channel change has any impact on viewers even after how hard it's been advertised.
But yeah, overall, for a show expected to get like 300K viewers at first, ending your run on a Network with 975K as your final rating and 4th on cable for the night is pretty neat!

AEW showed up on TNT with really modest expectations and blew way past anything Warner folks thought they were going to get, and they leave the channel only to move to the sister channel with praise heaped on from the corporate side and tons of leverage. There was a period during the TNA embarrassment years where Meltzer had said that the fiasco was hurting the esteem of non-WWE wrestling in the industry's eyes because this was what people already thought of pro wrestling and it was just confirming that it's this bad a hick clown show. It's a huge relief to see that a company has broken through that perception and is doing such good work now.

Really good demo ratings and the strongest show on TV that wasn't College Football. Between that and the (IMO) surprisingly real strong Christmas Rampage, they've gained most of their momentum back in time for the TBS move. Good to see and hoping for an even more successful 2022!

TBS and TNT are separated by just 3 channels on my dial. 761 and 764. |

I've got Fios and TBS is 52 to TNT's 51 (and USA's 50, on that note, which if you're a WWE watcher, too, makes it real convenient that the wrestling channels are all next to each other). |

The women matches have been the lowest point of the show in the last months.
Jericho returned did well as expected despite the hate from the IWC.

Seems very steady for the most part and it all shot up for the main event. Those dudes are draws, no doubt.

A standout here is that the final quarter before the main event was all promos and vigenettes, and it gained viewership before the main event. That's a plus. If you would have told me the entire Undisputed Era would leave to AEW within the span of this year, and that their first match would happen before years end and it's draw over a million views, I'd be surprised, but here we are! Also another greatly consistent show, agian for all the flack Lambert/Brandi got, it didn't drive people away so there's that. |

Demo wise was the lowest point though, I find it a bit surprising the demo was lower than Q7 that was mostly filled with taped promos and Pillman jr in ring promo.

Still not a massive drop, and the women imo have been drawing well and keeping consistent pace with the show. Much different from the times they used to drop hard in Q7, which doesn't seem to exist anymore |

Are you suggesting The Accountant is not a great lead in for all seasons? ^^ |
