[8 / 2 / ?]
Forget about total viewership for a second, that is skewed by show age, time of year, TV decline and hotshotting.
Let's talk about weekly fluctuations.
Why is that that if RAW loses 300k from the previous week, nobody bats and eyelid. However if AEW loses 30k from the previous week, everyone jumps up and down like chimps and the thread hits bump limit in an hour?
Are the majority of posters on this board and reddit just new to wrestling? Historically, wrestling has ALWAYS fluctuated with its numbers. Why is it seen as some miraculously bad thing if a show loses 30k but not 300k? I mean, I'm pretty sure I saw an AEW ratings thread hit bump limit with million spam when the show had literally done 997k, 3 thousand viewers off the arbitrary number! Holy hell.
Let's take RAW from 2010:
>April 4th: 5.53 million
>April 9th 4.62 million
That's a loss of 910,000 viewers in a week. WWE is still around and if you check the viewership for that entire year, the show was up and down by 300k constantly.
