Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 80

Its really cool seeing where all of the Lucha Underground guys ended up. Most all of the roster ended up in much better promotions following that.

 

Yeah that’s the dumb thing about hall of fames. If you deserve to go in, put em in. Hate how in sports like baseball they won’t put someone in right away for political reasons. On the flip side, a hall of fame has no rubric really soooo...

 

Bloody love those Broserweights skits. Genuinely funny comedy in WWE? I am shook.

 

Anyone got the scoreboard

 

NXT has only won twice and one of those was a week where there wasn’t an AEW episode haha

 

AEWs number fluctuating as much as it does is kinda insane

 

AEW's been doing 900k+ lately, so Im a little surprised to see them off. Though, usually when AEW goes down, NXT goes up by a similar amount...here, just seems like 100k didnt watch AEW. Id be really curious to know why AEW jumps up and down like tha

 

Would've thought the Cody thing would raise aew, wonder what happened there.

 

It is kind of nuts

NXT since coming back live in 2020...all in the 700k range and pretty steady

Jan. 8: 721,000 / .19
Jan. 15: 700,000 / .21
Jan. 22: 769,000 / .24
Jan. 29: 712,000 / .22
Feb. 5: 770,000 / .22
Feb. 12: 757,000 / .24

AEW since coming back live in 2020...a 150k swing from best weeks to worse, and 100k swings regularly.

Jan. 1: 967,000 / .36
Jan. 8: 947,000 / .36
Jan. 15: 940,000 / .38
Jan. 22: 871,000 / .35
Jan. 29: 828,000 / .34
Feb. 5: 928,000 / .36
Feb. 12: 817,000 / .30

 

Not surprised to see AEW fall a little this week. On the west coast they were going up against Lakers vs Nuggets which is a top 2 matchup in the west.

 

Ratings don’t matter

 

Sure they do.

 

very very curious to see how the Cody/Wardlow and Omega/Pac shows draw ratings wise

 

I think it's silly to analyze such minuscule changes in tv ratings. Theres a myriad of reasons why a show can go up and down by that amount. At least I doubt its because of any one specific wrestler or angle. To me ratings are more useful to analyze long term.

Especially in today's world of watching content

 

I agree with that. A single basketball game can throw things off. But they def matter in terms of a trend.

 

as long as the trend continues to be AEW winning every single week i doubt they're too fussed

 

I’m a few weeks behind on dynamite and catching up tonight but Britt Baker fucking sucks

 

how far away are you?

 

A month, I think.

 

I said the same thing just 2 weeks ago. Lets see if you change your mind like I did.

 

I quite literally made a post about it and everything!

 

Yeah, that's the more interesting trend to me. NXT's numbers all seem to stay right in the same ballpark, whereas AEW's fluctuate more wildly.

 

I think AEW fluctuates because it draws a different demographic. Its a lot lf younger people that might switch to basketball or any other big sporting event going on and tends to probably go out more on a Wedensday. It also draws a lot of DVR attention. NXT draws a lot of older, long time WWE fans so it makes sense that its ratings are more consistent.

 

Don't forget that NXT is on the Network the next day. So I should imagine more people watch AEW on the day and NXT the day after.
