Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show produced 1.273 million viewers for TNT, according to Showbuzzdaily.com. The viewership count was up from the 1.175 million viewership total from last week’s show.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite delivered a 0.48 rating and finished first in the 18-49 demographic in the cable ratings, which is up from last week’s 0.44 in the same demo. Monday’s WWE Raw finished with a 0.49 rating in the same demo. Despite finishing first in the demo, Dynamite’s numbers actually fell below my personal expectations. This was a loaded show and was perceived as being the biggest edition of Dynamite to date, so I thought 1.5 million viewers was a high-end possibility.
Last night was a packed night of television between Survivor, The Wonder Years, and even the curiosity that is Alter Ego. I feel certain you’ll see a massive increase when DVR viewing is counted in.
AEW fans have no shame when making excuses. They loaded up a huge show and got 98k more viewers. With all the new talent, and with that match leading off the show, it just further cements the fact that they’ve got a very limited audience for their product.
And you have a very limited capacity to think of anything outside of AEW. The way you obsess over it is downright weird. Maybe someday you’ll start liking girls?
Yes, whenever you have nothing to counter the argument you should always attack the person.well done!
