AEW in the UK drawing more viewers than WWE

[Dmac]

Is there any data on the % of people who get BT who watch it?

No clue where I'd even find something like that if I'm honest.

Same honestly.

This doesn't surprise me for the reasons mentioned. I remember hearing that TNA used to beat WWE in UK ratings too. Its good for AEW in the sense that it points to there maybe a opening in to tour the UK in the future. Then again if its just a case of that many people having axcess to it on TV over here it maybe a case of a lot of people just not changing the channel. If a lot of those peeps would actually buy a ticket to a AEW show is another matter.

I'd be interested to see South Africa numbers; it used to be on free-to-air TV and was absolutely massive here in the 00's/10s but I think MultiChoice (Dominant pay TV provider) has exclusive rights. Not sure if there is anything on free-to-air in terms of wrestling now as I don't watch it anymore.

Impact was shown in the UK on Spike - but it was a week delay - when then numbers were 'high'

Yeah I felt like I needed to add context instead of just declaring WWE is losing in ratings to AEW.

I'm sure people would have been like wtf?



Hulu isn't a thing over here to my knowledge.

It's on Richard Bransons Virgin TV Box set, the apps on there, I seen whilst had it but I got It took out and SKY TV instead as it has more value for money and has a wide range of decent programming.

Yeah, cool sig. He has HUGE potential Wardlow, I really think he could be around for a long time, he has everything you need look, when permitted off MJF he can talk very well, has a really intimidating presence, only thing I'm unsure of is he charismatic? I've watched some matches on YouTube, they were good, under the right guidance of Cody, thats who I'd pick h to learn the business aspect of wrestling, in ring psychology, how to get the crowd hyped, as they make or break careers, this isn't wacky weird entertainment under VKM this AEW under Tony Khan, (who was high as Mofo on a shot of brandi), i
I'd know lol, first time I've seen on any site I go on a sig of him. He is really impressive.

Didn’t Impact use to be WWE over there as well? Or am I mistaken. I know Impact use to beat WWE somewhere.

But yeah, very likely comes down to them having the better TV Deal.

No you're not mistaken. Impact has always been very over in the UK.

I actually have Virgin Media over Sky so I will have to take a look. Not that I will use it. I have enough streaming subscriptions as it is!

Yeah Wardlow is really showing me something now he's actually getting a few matches and not just standing behind MJF scowling.

He still has a way to go yet but he has the look. He has the potential and his theme is amazing.

TNA used to be shown on Challenge.
Which is a channel dedicated to re-runs of UK game shows (and Takeshi's Castle).
Does anybody know why AEW isn't shown live on ITV4? Not like they have anything else better to show at that time? Surely nobody is watching the fucking Sweeney, which I see on there all the time?

Yeah it did. That was doubled up with WrestleTalk TV which I only watched for the co host Francesca Wood who was and is hot.

With the numbers they do they may look into that moving forward. I doubt they wanted to jump straight into live shows on a foreign network.
