not sure you can say she was a huge draw when aew normally gets 900k as lead in from big bang and loses roughly 100k by 2nd segment.
they had 983 in feb at beginning too.
to show the draw they needs to be that boost during the show, so be interesting to watch future segment numbers

I don't care about ratings as long as I enjoy the show

I do find it amusing that some people are saying that they didn't advertise her, otherwise it would have been HUGE numbers.
I mean, They named the show around her. The logo was clearly styled for her. They had all the subtly of a brick to the head

Well…WWE sure is hot, huh?
And I only say that kinda jokingly. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that when WWE’s brand is the hottest it’s been in years, the ex big WWE star pops a milli but then folks just aren’t that interested to stick around.
The product is cold. You can pull the nose up with strong booking and actual stories but it is going to take a while. Like, 3-4 months at least.

Aforementioned lack of ratings threads Booker T saying he had a confrontation with Punk at an NXT taping. If it was AEW I'd be looking at page 77 by now. Currently? Nada.

She's the new Demo God of AEW. They better book her like Drew McIntyre and give her multiple segments over the show. Run it up. I always liked Sasha and…yeahhh I dunno about that. She was never the greatest talker and she’s not exactly the most likeable character and I could see people getting mighty sick of her if she’s all over the show. Less is more sometimes. Shit...
I'm saying that for ratings, not quality lmao. With the ratings drop they need to do something. Idk about anyone else but after that Sasha segment I was looking every once in a while and I wasn't tuned in as much.

AEW has a lot defenders and leeway, too. The Booker T thing probably doesn’t have a thread because there’s a 99% chance he’s joking given he did this same thing with Corey Graves last year.

Posted in the Mercedes thread but it won’t kill anyone if they end up reading it twice:
Usually I don’t care about ratings coz so many are watching away from cable and the Nielsen system had flaws even when cable was king but I do think Big Business could have been marketed a lot better. I sometimes think TK is too online and over relies on Twitter.

I think the solution is very simple. Just have Mercedes debut every segment of every show.

1: I'd like to know why there isn't a ratings thread for the recent NXT, Just curious. 2: I called this in the previous ratings thread and was dismissed thoroughly. The talent isn't the issue. They are at their peak, imaginary higher numbers are never happening. WWE has the lion's share of active wrestling fans. 3: I await a single reason as to why these threads exist other than to cause arguments. I mean you can always make one? But it's like complaining in 2009 why ECW on SciFi ratings threads didn't get more attention than Raw ratings threads. One is clearly something else and more interesting to discuss. As long as nobody's a douchebag or an outright weirdo about it, I think it's fair game to discuss ratings trends.

They say that a phoenix will always rise from its ashes, and some may believe AEW to be such. A majestic, fiery bird whose ebbs and flows are merely the cycle of life, never truly gone and always awaiting its moment to brilliantly rekindle its smouldering embers and rise in majesty once more. If you find comfort in these colds months in doing so, then I laugh at you. For AEW is not a brilliant phoenix, grand in its majesty. It is a trash fire encircled by the destitute and the barren in need of warmth. It burns ever on and rekindles only by another squirt of gasoline, another torn-up tabloid rag thrown atop its ashes and lit anew by a novelty lighter in the shape of a shotgun. You shall not find greatness underneath the pile of soot that looms over it. There is no egg awaiting rebirth, and one day when the kindling runs out and the lighter's fuel is done, there shall be no grand reignition, and you had best `pray spring fast approaches before that warmth is spent, lest you freeze in the remnants of winter and wager your life on the rebirth of what was doomed from its very inception. tl;dr. Still upvoted based on past results.
