TheGoon Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 If it is a worked punch it’s one of the better ones I’ve seen. Bucks/Death Triangle last night was excellent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 He does have some history throwing worked punches though I'm sure I read somewhere that Michaels himself couldn't believe how good Tyson had made that look 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 I hate ratings chat, but AEW did 1.2 Million on its first night unopposed. NXT up 200k viewers as well with a strong demo performance. Insanity the two of them had to go against each other for so long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fantastic result and a massive FU to Jim Cornette who predicted a bump of 100 to 200k max. Dick that he is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 The demo number is pretty mad as well, doubled NXT’s. Think next week will probably be more telling for both shows but the more folk watching each the better, early signs are good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think his face is definitely a factor. Hopefully they keep around the 1m mark going forward though (if not improving on that!) As much as I'm not a fan of AEW's product, I think when the fans are back if they're hitting that number consistently we might get a better product across the board as WWE won't get away with their lazy shite if they feel someone is starting to be a legitmate threat in terms of the land of wrestling and AEW having the bit between their teeth and can compete across the board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure actually, I think he’ll just appear now and then which is fine. He looks to be enjoying himself. I think WWE might go with NXT Evolve on Peacock to try get eyes away, but if the actual NXT wasn’t competing then I don’t see why that would. If RAW has a shitemare of a week and AEW a really good one, they can certainly catch them. As you say I’d hope that’d be the boot up the arse for WWE that they’re needing at the minute. Product needs a drastic overhaul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Getting into a 1m+ is certainly achieveable. It's what they were doing those first few episodes and at least once unopposed. Tyson and the lingering WrestleMania season probably has the casuals out a little more than usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoon Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Kenny Omega is challenging Rich Swann for Impact’s World title on Sunday and unless you watched Impact you’d have absolutely no idea. They promoted the KENTA match Moxley had, but nothing for s company they’re apparently in partnership with? Bizarre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latino Lover Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 They’ve gone a bit overboard on factions I feel. It’s like the late 90’/early 00’s at times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully back above 1mil next week again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
