Very rarely do we see Main Events go up in average (It's usually in the minute by minute that they can rise very high in the last few minutes) The only ones who have really gotten the main event to rise from the previous quarters in viewership have been Vikingo for the sheer spectacle and when Darby Allin main events he has a pretty good track record of raising viewership But more often than not like most of the shows, the main event is always lower than where the show started Was it like that when it was on TNT? Maybe the early viewers are just non-wrestling fans that were watching Big Bang and then they slowly change the channel as the show keeps going? I think the other big 2 hour weekly show Smackdown doesn’t have that big of a drop from hour 1 to hour 2 typically. Smackdown never drops, it's always what it is, I attribute that to it being on FOX It has a much better lead in with Big Bang, it could have 1.2 Million viewers just for reruns on any given week. On TNT they were being lead in by The Accountant every other week

TV ratings are weird, and a lot of times viewership just drops over time, it does for RAW, it does for most series on TV. Normally shows do not end on the same level as they began, though they can see bumps, or be very high in minute by minute, just not average

Normally shows do not end on the same level as they began, though they can see bumps, or be very high in minute by minute, just not average Raw is typically because it’s 3 hours long which is way too long. And a few years ago it was even harder to get through 2 hours of Raw than it is more recently. Smackdown is 2 hours and I don’t really remember seeing drops like that by the end of the show. Maybe NXT drops like that, I haven’t seen their quarters in a while.

I think the other big 2 hour weekly show Smackdown doesn’t have that big of a drop from hour 1 to hour 2 typically. I highly doubt it was like that but they weren't running Wednesday's either. Most of my issue with it has always been that they refuse to run the actual main events in the final main event slot (most of the time) thus not forcing viewers to stick around or at least come back. This however is mostly prominent on Rampage.

I also hate this idea that the lead not being strong is the cause for low ratings. Just a weird argument all around.
"If those numbers were possibly falsely inflated it would look much better" is basically what I hear because if they are not coming back without the Big Bang lead in then are they really watching the product?
Big Bang or nothing I guess

This however is mostly prominent on Rampage. With Rampage they deliberately structure it that way and always have, I guess because they know how the show is and like delivering a big match early Dynamite usually always has a main event feeling match to end their show, and this week I can't say FTR/Gunns in a titles vs careers match didn't deserve the main event

Smh Dynamite usually keeps a bigger audience when they have a stronger lead in... I don't think this is really a crazy thing to say, we've seen it in the graphs

In the context of what AEW usually gets, not really. It's below their average. It's interesting that there was no WrestleMania bump at all.

NXT the night before didn't get one and that's a WWE brand. I think in amongst the hysteria of last Sunday there was definitely a bit of "F this company. I'm off to watch AEW". Maybe not huge, but I'd guess if you'd done a poll on Monday morning people would've thought Dynamite would've done a better rating than it did.

NXT the night before didn't get one and that's a WWE brand. A few people anticipated that. But like I said before Wednesday that if AEW got a strong rating it because or themselves, and if it was an disappointing rating its because of themselves. I didn't see how Wrestlemania's night 2 ending and a lackluster Raw would benefit Dynamite in any way.

I kind of thought Dynamite would do better just because typically when Raw goes up it goes up, but maybe people were just wrestlinged out at this point.
