    I'll say it every week. I wanna know numbers based on +3. I think that tells such a more realistic picture of what's going on. I havent watched dynamite live once

    It’s funny how Raw got their best ratings in a while on one of their most boring shows ever

    Multiply AEW by 1.3x and NXT by 1.2x and thats generally what they are.There's basically ~1.7 million people total that watch wrestling live Wednesdays. And ~2.2 million that watch it within a week. And maybe like 200k that will change what show they watch based on whats advertised.

    AEW just feels like a bigger deal week-to-week. NXT usually has one big match and one big segment advertised, but they are not completely immune to WWE's larger booking style of knowing only a couple of cant miss things are gonna happen outside of special episodes and Takeovers. this isn't all their fault - it's just largely the same roster and matches we got before the jump to USA. AEW has the benefit of being brand new top to bottom. they've done a good job not allowing anyone to get terribly sedentary for the most part, theres no established hierarchy of main event vs mid card to make things predictable yet. the only two acts i know are gonna lose when they are on tv are Shawn Spears and TH2. feels like most anyone else has a chance at a win any given night.

    the real test is how long they can maintain that feeling, but for now Dynamite is the only wrestling thing im guaranteed to watch every week

    I'm just happy that it's Friday, I get to go to a deathmatch show tonight, and my Orange Cassidy shirt should be delivered as well.

    Remember this Joe? This is the Joe that should have been champ. Sucks that he’s hurt again.

    They've also done a pretty good job with their rankings system of it being "true" yet also blurry. Whereas when WWE dropped their Top 10, it lasted what, a week?

    I hope it ends up being Matt Hardy, other than him, I don't know who else I'd want it to be. Hope it's revealed soon though, like at Revolution.

    Harper maybe?

    I hope not, they better debut him as a massive babyface.

    If its Hardy, I think his contract ends the day after Revolution. But they could definitely tease something big and pay it off on Dynamite.

    It'd be real funny to see two WWE stars appear in AEW right after their contracts end.

    Could they tease the reveal and then go off air or something?

    What just happened? What there an error or what? I thought someone was suddenly debuting for a minute but then they just kept wrestling.
