Feel like this episode needed some more marketing far as video packages go. I saw Kamille post a pic of her and the 2 girls Saraya and Harley faced, guessing they were a team before, but I wasn't familiar with them. Same with that Beef guy. Guess he from ROH. I never heard of him but I'm not a follower of that brand. Most people that watch Dynamite don't watch Rampage and even less prolly watch ROH or indies no matter how much they claim AEW is for the sickos. I don't think they even marketed Takeshyta vs Andretti on Dynamite. A simple interaction could've been enough. At least they had CD challenge Perry tonight instead of throwing the match on Collision randomly. Plus Jamie Hayter coming out to face Saraya and Harley since they involved in a story. Everything else could've been on ROH or not even existed.

The conglomeration reminds me of the Union...i know it's something for dudes to do but there's gotta be something better that can be booked.
I like it for what it is. Just wish they would get away from Jericho. Actually I just wish Jericho would retire. Conglomeration should be going after that trios title.

I don't think they said anything about Rampage on Dynamite, which has pretty much become the norm. Seems like TK cares about Rampage even less than he does ROH these days, and he doesn't seem to really care about ROH much at all outside of the Athenaverse.

And they only announced one match for Collision on Dynamite when Collision was taping the next day.

He's way over reliant on social media, particularly Twitter, to do the bulk of the marketing. It's all so stupid. Especially when you consider Twitter is a dying cesspool.

Like just announce shyt for Rampage and Collision on TV. I'd make an educated guess that the vast majority of the people who are going to later watch Rampage and Collision are watching Dynamite. And the bulk of the people who are interested in AEW but aren't watching Rampage and Collision might see something announced and be like "oh I want to watch that."

DOn't just announce everything on social media that has less reach (not followers, but reach) than what you get on TV. Use social media as the complement to the TV.

Only one Twitter post announcing/promoting a Rampage match for this week had over 50K views. Don't have engagement numbers for anywhere else since that's not publicly viewable. I haven't seen Dynamite quarter hours from this week since no one posted it on here, but the last week's lower viewed episode saw the lowest quarter hour have 597K viewers.

There's no excuse not to sprinkle match announcements throughout the night on Dynamite and telling 600-700K+ people that are actively watching your programming what you got coming up next as opposed to throwing it on social media and hoping someone eventually sees it when in reality the vast majority of your TV viewers are seemingly not seeing it.

None of it makes any god damn sense.
