Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite television show averaged 762,000 viewers for TBS, according to Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics.com. The viewership count was down from the 819,000 viewership total from last week’s show.
Powell’s POV: Dynamite finished with a 0.26 rating in 18-49 demo, down from last week’s 0.30 rating in the same demo. Dynamite ran opposite NBA Play-In games last night, just as NXT did on Tuesday. The competition will be tough for all pro wrestling television shows with the NBA and NHL playoffs starting. Tuesday’s NXT finished with 647,000 viewers and a 0.17 rating on USA Network. One year ago, the April 19, 2023 edition of Dynamite on TBS delivered 830,000 viewers and a 0.28 rating in the 18-49 demographic.
I wonder if Tony got a call from tbs execs this week congratulating him on the ratings this week? All that embarrassment for a one week bump. I wonder what the rating is without the artificial bump from bbt. This clown actually thinks he’s getting a huge rights increase. Tony Khan makes Dixie Carter look like Bill Watts
Shitty show gets a shitty rating. This isn’t surprising. ZERO hit segments on the entire fucking garbage program.
People tuned in last week and did NOT like what they saw. This has to be the worst case scenario for AEW. I have no idea what stunt is left now to draw ratings (unless they cue up “no chance in Hell”)
Hey TGO. What’s the rating w/o the first quarter Sheldon boost?
745k. Sheldon only gave the a 917k Q1 this time.
The only thing they can do is get the fucking man child to hire a booker and give that person full control.
Back when wrestling was good nobody cared if basketball was on and Basketball players skipped their commitments to be on wrestling shows. Ah, the good old days.
Back when pro wrestling mostly aired on Saturday and Sunday mornings and the NBA playoffs weren’t a ratings draw?
