AEW Dynamite May 18th, 2022: Two Jokers in the House

That’s about the average number right?

Dynamite is kinda in RAW territory where something big has to be advertised to get a boost or something on another channel has to be happening to get a drop

Yeah, probably be over a mil slightly most weeks once the major sports end and under when stuff is still going on if everything stays the same. I haven't really been looking at year over year stuff too, idk what they were doing last year during playoffs

 

[Chris]

Oh probably shit cause Dynamite got moved a couple times being on TNT

 

[Cwalker]

It feels like wrestling has kind of peaked when it comes to viewership numbers.

Realistically there’s probably about 2.5-3 million people watching wrestling per week. Some people watch WWE exclusively, some people watch AEW exclusively.

But it doesn’t seem like either side is helping bring in new fans. Which is why the numbers are always so…meh

 

[Chris]

Yeah the main thing I really look at is where they rank on the night, feel like thats all the advertisers really care about to fund the TV deals

 

[Cwalker]

Oh yeah in terms of the networks , both companies are golden.

I think Raw, Smackdown and Dynamite are the #1 shows watched on their respective nights

I almost picked Cole vs. KOR in the finals in WPC.
