>We're an era where TV viewers have their shows delivered to them wherever they want whenever they want>whenever they wantNo. TV shows are broadcast live at a set time. This set time is the single only time TV ratings are counted. If you watch the show 3 days later on demand, you do not contribute to the ratings.
>those same shows are given extensive help to find their audienceWhat extensive help would that be then? We live in a time where TV is literally DYING. The only people that keep buying cable subscriptions are those over the age of 50. People set in their ways, set in their regular routines. No amount of pushing a show is going to force the younger demographic to buy a cable subscription JUST for wrestling.
>The show hasnt grown its audience for no other reasonWhat are you comparing it to? The viewership of the very first episode? You don't use that as a measuring stick. Just like you wouldn't use the debut of Smackdown on FOX as one. You compare year-over-year averages and since 2022 is not finished yet, you cannot do a full year-over-year average. You can however do a monthly average for January to July 2021 and compare it to January to July for 2022. By the way, AEW is up in that comparison.
>Under a million is the maximum number of potential smarksAgain, you talking about the *TV* number. You do not know how many people are watching LIVE via live streaming, numbers that are not counted on a weekly basis. I watch Dynamite on FITETV, all of my friends watch Dynamite on FITETV, none of those numbers are counted. By saying that a show's limit is under an arbitrary number set by fans, it makes no sense because TV isn't the only medium that you can watch the show live on.
