I think ratings still are somewhat important since they are based on the percentage of people who still subscribe to cable, YouTube TV, and Hulu TV.

Damn TNA ratings
When TNA got those ratings, raw was doing more than double what they are now. Declining numbers for a declining company
The marks are acting like 1.1 is a monumental number.
Let’s not act like 1.4, 1.5 wasn’t expected.
Idk.. if the marks are truly being sincere maybe their expectations for Punk just weren’t that great.
Next thing you know the marks will pretend like dynamite isn’t expected to get their best rating ever this Wednesday lol.
all facts…its funny these marks go aew
“yay 1.1 million for a new week old show that was told months ago that cm punk was gona return after 8 years!! In chicago”
and the best they did was 1.1 million…Cm punk is the best chance they had to beat raw…maybe DB can help but the people that tuned in for punk are already gona turn in for DB so it kinda cancels each other out
I do find it ironic that a lot of dudes keep bringing up Friday at 10PM EST being a horrible time slot, but denied it months when I and a few others brought it up
They called me a hater when i said it
Theres literally a time wiki for that time slot…2022 take these fukkn herbs and throw em on tbs before titanic rereuns

Only people who follow internet news knew Punk was coming and even still people didn't fully believe it.

You just described the AEW audience
Also you would have to be pretty dumb to think he wasn't when they named the 2nd episode of their new show something special for a week & ran in a bigger building in Chicago than the one their running for a PPV in the same place like 3 weeks later. The stuff started leaking at the end of July & had a month of build up, pretending it was all speculation & nobody knew is hilarious.

The spin job some of you WWE marks do here is

Dudes saying it’s not enough for a 10 PM time slot on Friday. Let me repeat: 10 PM on Friday. The nerve of y’all cornballs.
Dude said that about the prime time slot of death too.

I would have definitely watched if it wasnt 10 o'clock on a friday and I wasnt out doing quasi deviant things that i cannot immediately recall. I also wasnt 100% sure he was returning either. I will definitely be watching Wednesday
