Wednesday for Hockey was only really an NBC thing they tried to do recently so who knows.

Plus when regular season NHL games are on Wednesdays they draw about a third of the ratings Dynamite does.

The playoffs are competitive, and of course the Stanley Cup is the Stanley Cup, but this would mean shifting for a few nights a year.

Something that’s mentioned in all this is the type of advertisers both respective products bring, which may factor into TNTs decision along with the ratings.

There's probably some truth in this, but I also had the impression that AEW isn't quite the advertiser anathema that WWE is.

What did AEW even do for Impact other than get lots of people to pay for their show?

From what I've heard AEW actually gets legit respectable advertisers. They've got State Farm at least.

The most impressive thing is all the network synergy stuff they're doing with Warner. Not only does stuff like the GvK match get them network money, but it builds that relationship more.

Was that Kevin Smith stuff early on some kind of cross-promotional deal? I haven't paid attention to anything Kevin Smith has done in several years.

Oh. Definitely looks like it according to the schedule. At least TNT broadcasts games that day. So honestly I don't know where AEW would go if they were forced to move to a different timeslot.

For reference, NBA on TNT airs on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So I guess if they had to move it would be probably on Friday or Saturday. Would lean towards Saturday if anything though, since nothing important seems to air on TNT right now during those days. Unless you really like movies or NCIS marathons.

It's a shorter season but that'd clash with the bigger college football games on ESPN on Saturday nights

lol Aces and Eights but honestly I don't find current TNA any better than it was. Maybe this generation of TNA will be better with crowds but I find the overwhelming majority of the current version a chore to watch.

I watched the impact when kenny first showed up and the show was filled with boring promos, decent but short matches and stupid and confusing backstage segments. Commentary was also horrible and the total silence during matches was a bit off putting. I did not bother to watch another episode.

It would just be both of them no-selling for each other until the heat death of the universe because the match would never end.

Asuka having to sell for Alexa and have all of her offense countered was really funny so Alexa doing it to Charlotte could be even funnier. I'm really excited for the Fiendess push.

Nah, Alexa has a pretty good concussion history and combine that with Charlotte's carelessness and you can see where it's heading.

Yes and then he announced he was leaving twitter because of "mental health" and returned a few days later.

He deleted all of his posts but he said "Not so much covering up, but that it may have a correlation with COVID and that it’s worth being transparent."

So he accused them of covering it up while claiming he did not.
