My favorite was when they showed Batista listening by the door with his back against the wall like that’s the only way he’d have known that Hunter and Flair were talking behind his back.
yeah that shit always made me laugh, like do u guys just not watch the show back or have any friends to text u homie is fucking around lol

Kenny and Don had a good segment about that trope recently too when Don pretended hangman hit him to end that dynamite. Next week Don was like "he was just so strong I lost my balance, why would you think he hit me" :lol

that was when they swerved us and faked the Batista turn before they did the real one tho right? I assumed the intention was that Batista was also fake eavesdropping and got the camera to see it so we'd know

I know what you’re referring to. The stuff before Revolution, but this was when Triple H and Flair were saying they had “JBL” run him over to get his to challenge JBL and not him. It was before the contract signing. When he bombs Hunter.

Oh God, I just had a thought from something Booty said just a little bit ago. What if Sammy is playing 4D chess and Jericho is who dethrones MJF after all..... That would be AMAZING!

The thing is even if you forgot the fact that they were confessing on live television to trying to run Bautista over the door was wide open and they weren’t even being quiet. Any number of random people walking in the hallway, probably overheard the entire thing as well.

The showing stuff on tv and having everyone just pretend no one saw it is my least favorite trope in wrestling. WWE uses it to much and in NXT too like half the segments Vic comments on then some they no sell. Get out of here with that garbage.

Wednesday night's episode of AEW Dynamite averaged 776,000 viewers on TBS, down 10.1 percent from last week. It's the lowest audience total for the show since October 18 of last year, which was a Saturday airing. For a Wednesday episode, It's Dynamite's lowest viewership since June 15, 2022.

In the 18-49 demo, Dynamite finished eighth on the cable charts with a 0.28 rating. That's the same rating the show has done for four straight weeks. It ties Dynamite's fifth-lowest rating of the year to date.

Programming related to the NBA and NHL playoffs took five of the seven top spots on cable. Vanderpump Rules and Watch What Happens Live on Bravo both also finished ahead of Dynamite in 18-49.

Dynamite's ratings were even or down in most categories, although young men were slightly up from last week. There was a five percent increase with men 18-49 and a 4.2 percent increase with males 12-34. The biggest decline was 18 percent with people over 50, which was the main reason for the overall viewership decline. Dynamite's 0.32 rating in that category was its lowest since the June 15, 2022 episode.

As compared to the same week in 2022, Dynamite was down 6.8 percent in total viewers and down 12.5 percent in 18-49. It's the 20th straight week the show has had a year-over-year decline of at least 10 percent.

Listed below are the last 11 weeks of overall viewership and individual demo ratings for Dynamite, as well as the 10-week averages in all categories. This week's show was down 11.8 percent in total viewers and down 3.4 percent in 18-49 as compared to the recent averages.

Do people still care about ratings?

to an extent I do, the numbers and patterns are interesting to me. But I don't like discussing them bc wrestling fans are dumb (no offense wrestling fans)

Ratings are important if they show a pattern that’s consistent. But dynamite will be back over 800,000 in like two weeks most likely.

Also like I said a few weeks ago, it's not like WBD cares if for instance a NHL or NBA game on TNT is hurting a dynamite rating, they just look at how many programs they have across all their networks in the top 10 and consider it a success
