Did 761,000 viewers and a 0.28 demo, coming in at #2 for the night.

Still a good placement but what the hell happened?

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Geez. The #2 placement suggests that there's something with TV that's the deal here, but whew, what a drop.

[kingoftheindies]

Stanley Cup on ABC probably took a chunk of it. Also think TNT had Baseball on at the same time.

[Chiral]

Approx. 200,000 regular viewers were really into the idea of the Hardys dangerously and terrifyingly bumbling through that ladder match and gave up entirely when that wasn't going to happen.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Really odd that it was that high with those viewer numbers. I buy that it might be down but this seems really weird.

[Dub H]

People respect the law, they dont want none of those Forbidden Doors

(but yeh actually seems like a weird tv issue).

TNT doesn't air MLB, just the NBA and NHL.  I believe TNT aired movies last night.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Thats really low for what the card was. Hardys or no Hardy's. It was still a really good show. The Ladder match without the Hardy's had plenty of those "bumps". Its been what over a year since they been under 800K. I'm sure the toxic WWE stans on social media are having a field day with it.

Yeah, I think it's safe to assume a lot of this can be attributed to the Stanley Cup. That said, it's a bummer as it was a pretty good show.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Odd since it's second on the night, it did well, but the viewership was oddly absent

Stanley Cup happened at the same time and got over 4 million viewers, it's likely that played a role.

But the trolls will be incessant online for this, I can hear them screaming about how "No one cares about New Japan" from here... despite being second on the night in cable regardless.

[AEW19]

This happens once every couple of months where the viewership drops low for a week then bounces back.

[Zone Was Wrong]

That's just bizarre. Demo was good but with NBA over, I figured it be higher viewership than what it has been.

Yeah hockey can still be a good ratings draw when not on a smaller network. (Hopefully those slagging on hockey in favor of AEW realize that)

[nihilismizhawt]

If its #2, actually tied for #1 in the demo, there obviously was something up with viewership numbers being recorded by Neilson.

[Perd]

Tough to watch wrestling when you can’t stop vomiting from the mental image of Vince and Johnny Ace, Eiffel Towering some chick.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

At least they have Blood and Guts right around the corner. It should do pretty well.

[bob]

NHL championship game, NBA Championship game, MLB and lack of MJF probably hurt the ratings

I can understand why some people would be disgusted to watch wrestling after the reports broke yesterday of what Vince and others did

[polarbearpete]

That’s a surprisingly low number. No real reason you can point to either. Guessing it’s just an outlier and it bounces back next week and then of course for Blood and Guts.
