Dynamite rating May 25th

[markymark]

Good news is that last night was the last time they faced the NBA until next season.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Honestly better than I expected, and I think better than they did too given how frontloaded the show was.

[Mid-Carder]

That's not bad at all. It was a fun show, too.

That's good news. I just assumed that the NBA ran until June/July

It’s because the NBA Finals in June will have all games broadcast on network TV rather than cable TV.

The rating has slowly climbed back up with the NBA finally waning off a bit, and the playoffs being kinda bleh this season not gonna lie.

They'll probably get back to a million or so Post-PPV with way less competition.

Celtics vs. Heat has been an all time bad series.

Is it like in Space Jam where The Monstars sapped the top players' abilities to the point that a teen girl called Charles Barkley a "wannabe"?

[oxbaker]

This is a good number. Next week with the NBA playoff conflict over, AEW will do over 1M and the demo will spike back up with the post-PPV bump (especially if Punk wins to see what he has to say) and maybe a sprinkle of excitement over potential Forbidden Door surprises popping up.

AEW (and WWE) will have weathered the NBA playoff storm and can pick up for the summer months.

Actually prefer what we got yesterday to the 30 pt blowout 3 pt contests in the other series' though. Today's game frustrates me so much. It will be interesting to see how AEW bounces back now that the Playoffs are almost over.

Figures Max Strus turned into f***ing Steph Curry against the Sixers and now looks like a rotten pumpkin against Boston, that's my damn luck

Game 6 and 7 (if it happens) will likely do great numbers, but I know I've checked out on this series. I was hoping for an old school defensive slugfest type of series, but it's just been one blowout after another. The only time it's even been remotely interesting was during the 4th quarter of game 3.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has more details on the numbers, including each individual quarter-hour. The NBA game between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat, Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, siphoned a lot of viewers away for the show’s second half. Until the game started in Q3, the show was pulling in over a million viewers per quarter. After, that number dropped significantly. The only time it went up was for the main event.

Q1: Wardlow vs. Shawn Spears – 1,126,000 viewers, 515,000 in 18-49

Q2: Jericho Appreciation Society segment/CM Punk & Hangman Page segment – 1,051,000 viewers (down 75,000), 501,000 in 18-49 (down 14,000)

Q3: Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston vs. Private Party – 1,000,000 viewers (down 51,000), 475,000 in 18-49 (down 26,000)

Q4: FTR vs. Roppongi Vice – 876,000 viewers (down 124,000), 424,000 in 18-49 (down 51,000)

Q5: United Empire attack/Hardys promo/Ricky Starks vs. Jungle Boy vs. Swerve Strickland – 850,000 viewers (down 26,000), 438,000 in 18-49 (up 14,000)

Q6: End of Starks vs. Strickland vs. Jungle Boy/Men of the Year promo/Thunder Rosa promo/Red Velvet & Ruby Soho segment – 842,000 viewers (down 8,000), 429,000 in 18-49 (down 9,000)

Q7: Britt Baker vs. Toni Storm – 822,000 viewers (down 20,000), 406,000 in 18-49 (down 23,000)

Q8: Samoa Joe vs. Kyle O’Reilly – 863,000 viewers (up 41,000), 417,000 in 18-49 (up 11,000)

It's interesting that for Britt vs. Toni the demo fell harder than the viewership did.

Got the million lead in back, that'll probably continue, and much less drop off starting next week too I would imagine with the NBA Playoffs shifting away from AEW's numbers.

Still kept a million for the first three quarters, very good to see it as expected, rebounding to form.
