This week is a prime example of Shrody Khan's Contract paradox, where a wrestler is both signed and not signed with AEW until direct knowledge is given.

Yeah she should have a long run. She’s over as gently caress and a good draw and I don’t even know who should beat her yet (though Rosa’s a very strong candidate, let them circle each other for a while.)

But then this company hasn’t had a short run of any title yet. Can’t point to anyone I’d call transitional.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

But it adds to my thinking for years that your ratings typically reflect the quality of last week's show. If last week kicked rear end, your audience is going to assume the next will too. Number go up after big shows.

This was a weird show too because three of the segments weren't even announced until Monday/Tuesday. On paper, it was a much weaker card than last week but it was still an exceptional show. I'm really curious to see the quarterlies because with a number like that, you either start off with a huge number and fall off, or you build the audience over the course of the night.

I wonder if the Bryan Danielson/CM Punk rumors spiked it any. And then people tuned in and got surprise NICK GAGE

Jesus, what a Dynamite and what a loving news day today! Now they just need to sign King, Fuego, and Diamante and all will be right with the wrestling universe.

Something I noticed watching Nick Gage's tron: it's the closest we'll ever get to having Effy on AEW.

The bit on this week's Sammy Vlog where Isiah was trying to heel it up and was saying "gently caress Fuego I hate that guy" and then heard the pop for him and couldn't stop himself from saying "they gotta sign him" and then told Sammy to delete that part

Fuego is probably one of the best examples of someone getting over just because other people like him. Like, I'm sure not everyone in the crowd watches Sammy's vlog but enough do, and the ones who don't are instantly intrigued as to why he's so over.

I missed Bryan's WWE run due to not really watching any wrestling for a long-rear end time, but I recently went back to watch a bunch of his matches and he kind of became one of my all-time favourite wrestlers.

Let's just say that if he does turn up on AEW, I may lose the run of myself completely.

Two or three people have posted saying they're only watching because of Punk/Bryan. Now just find the number of unique posters in this thread, divide it by the total number of viewers, and you can find out exactly how many viewers those rumors drew.

The cool thing about Fuego is he's over somewhat as a meme or whatever based on Sammy's vlog but the dude also has some cool moves, he sells great, he had the dedication and drive to fly himself in hoping he could get a Dark booking for weeks on end. There's no real downside to the guy that I've seen, maybe he's never going to be your main event title holder but he's got a ton of heart and works his rear end off in there and he's just instantly likable.
