Hollywood North
The fact they got close to what their main show does on a weekday in primetime but on a Saturday instead which has never been a slot for primetime shows and usually is for live sports, with really only Punk as the main star (No Elite, Mox, Bryan, Sting, Jericho,MJF) AND was up against UFC fight night and the college world series is a good thing.
Its also being reported as a positive number by everyone including people that have no incentive to praise anything Punk or AEW related. Im sure the people who run the network and people who study these things have a better forecast than us on it. Honestly I would reccomend checking out showbuzz daily which posts broardcast and cable numbers and you can see on other Saturdays what shows that arent Fox News do overall and what shows top in the demo, anyone getting 800k-900k is happy for non sports. Realsitically going forward the show will probably settle into a 600-500k show going foward and against College Football, UFC and WWE PPVs probably the best they can do is what NXT is doing.
As for the tickets, everyone said weeks they were priced way too high especially as last minute announced shows in areas that already had Dynamite booked way before and people spending their money there. They should have kept the prices back to what they were in 2021 when they had their hot attendance run and they did. If Punk was a detriment to drawing like people say then even the reduced ticket prices woudlnt help but people wanna see him not at a ridiclous price north of $100 in some seating areas that arent even the floor
first he agreed to let them beat The Acclaimed for the tag titles, killing their buzz 
AND then they got to feud with a returning Punk? He’s such a dweeb/mark for allowing JOBBERS to have power over him.
you mean slappin meat
