Better late than never, I suppose.

Well that's... positive, I suppose.

That’s a damn good number for them.

Wrestling really is back in 2026.

 

[Chris]

Seems like it might be pretty fudged just so they can say they were higher than TNA so agreed, wrestling in all its carny glory is def back

Yeah, I was thinking when I saw that number that the anti-TNA accounts are gonna be out in full force with this lol I guess we’ll see though after the debut is usually anyway.

 

[Tremendez]

I do think being on a Saturday afternoon might help.

 

[Tremendez]

Wow, always did well in the afternoon indication.

 

[Tremendez]

And this is national.

Yeah one issue is the graphic says P2+ which would be a total viewer number but then the body text says it was 275k households which is calculated differently and there's no nielsen data for it public for us to know wtf they actually mean

Yeah, that does sound like some carny double speak lol

Nielsen has also changed their metrics a ridiculous amount over the last few months to try and satisfy "live sports" which includes wrestling and show that people are still watching them. So that's why you've seen big swings randomly for WWE and AEW as well in both directions at times

I actually appreciate that about them as long as they stay consistent from here we should be able to get a pretty good idea. I think if N.W.A. and TNA and collision can maintain that 200 to 400,000. It looks pretty good for wrestling as a whole.

It's fine from a statistical standpoint, you're always updating your models. It just gives dumb grifters a lot of fuel so that's why you don't see any of the "decent" sites giving much attention to them anymore, analysis just isn't even worth the hassle of the responses you get
