>>15128815The clearest indication of this is usually when the ratings chart has a giant SPIKE during that particular storyline -- overnight ratings only count until 3am local time, so if you see a big spike, it generally means tens of thousands (or more) people fast-forwarding their DVR to that exact spot, watching it, then saving the rest of the show for a day (or several) later when they have time.
The lack of AEW peaks is an area of concern. Who do they have that IS....not should be...but IS must-see every week? It's not Ospreay, MJF or Swerve. Who is in that role? Why are they struggling so hard to find a Punk replacement? It's honestly baffling. It's not as easy as blaming Tony because so many wrestlers are handed a mic and given a chance to do their thing and make magic. And it just isn't happening.
