Interesting that the numbers are going up as people are going outside more. I wonder if people were recording the shows and watching later because they were binging something else and just watch wrestling later. Now that they are outside, they would rather live and save their binging for the weekend. Very interesting
NXT vs AEW Ratings Thread

Haven’t watched any WWE since Mania so I have no clue what’s going on there. Both shows did bigger numbers this week so fans might finally be coming back. As for anyone judging AEW for using Tyson, WWE has rehashed and rehashed so many things over the years. Their own storylines and every other company under their umbrella. Tyson is hot right now so it makes perfect sense just as it made perfect sense for WWE to use him 22 years ago, he was controversial at the time due to biting Evander.

The point is how people like to pick and choose when ratings matter. Smackdown gets the highest ratings out of all these shows, yet people post comments talking about if Fox will cancel them. They also keep Fox in the top 3 every week with the much talked about and nauseating 18-49 demo.
When WWE used Tyson he was still "Iron Mike", while this was old cringe Tyson. They got the headlines they wanted, but most are talking about how goofy it looked or a low budget Tyson/Austin.

You are aware the only reason Fox spent so much on them is for advertising opportunities, right? Thats where the money is so yeah the young adult demo is the most important. Even moreso with millenials spending far less than previous generations. The ratings only become an issue if sponsors arent happy with them because people arent seeing the ads. They usually pull out and will be replaced with another product/service before the heat gets anywhere near Vince/Tony so it keeps rolling on. Thats the reason Vince hasnt been in danger of losing his spot on USA.
While you or any of their other detractors like it or not, AEW is exceeding targets based on the numbers that TNT shopped to its advertisers so no matter how shytty you or anyone else think ratings are for either company...
They. Don't. Matter.

Folks still arguing over an old, outdated, and archaic ratings system in 2020.
