>>11899514>NXT didn't get one with 4 of their biggest stars. How did this happen?NXT has the smallest "loyal" viewerbase out of WWE's shows. Getting a milly was completely dependent on funneling the RAW/SD viewership to watch with the guest appearances.
>Would RAW get a milly it Dynamite went up against it one week?Yes, RAW has a ton of boomer holdovers who watch it as an institution regardless of the content.
>So is a milly important or what?It was an arbitrary number until AEW started trying to lean into it with the Million Viewer man stuff. TV is practically dead and many networks are happy to air shows that only crack .5
AEW could also draw 2 viewers and still exist in some form because muh billionaire father. Any kind of objective measurement of AEW's success such as ratings or profit is invalid because that's not the point of AEW. Tony wants to play real life TEW/Wrestling figures and everyone else in the company is simply trying to fleece him for as much money as they possibly can.
