funkdoc Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 Kinda wonder if they would've waited longer to pull the trigger with Swerve if their numbers were doing a bit better. This is one of the things they had to do to even begin to earn positive buzz back, and i feel like the pendulum will eventually swing at least a little bit given the quality of their shows this year. Seen a lot of raving about Danielson-Ospreay even outside the AEW fan bubble, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted April 22 Report Share Posted April 22 There were a couple of moments from Ospreay I wasn’t a fan of in the match but they were mainly nitpicking the totality. The finish is fine, especially given how Bryan mentioned the need for the TD ‘91 to be done at all as an “criticism” of Ospreay and the brainbuster on the ramp the night before. Played into it well. I’ll catch up on the rest of the show, but my guess is that this match will be widely regarded as Ospreay’s official arrival as the wrestler of his generation on a wider scale, and another feather in Bryan’s cap, but the true sickos will look back at Arena Mexico a few weeks prior as the best match of the month for him. I’m just happy I got to see a Death Lake Driver again. Mima Shimoda the goddess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted Friday at 07:40 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:40 PM Someone took up the task of analyzing Young Bucks segments and whether or not they lost viewers. Turns out they are a legit channel changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted Friday at 09:31 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:31 PM I suspect if if we continue the analysis to today, the declines and losses will be even steeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted Friday at 09:33 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:33 PM However, it has to be said that the analysis is incomplete until we see how other segments in the same time slot (and preferably against the same competition with the same number of ad breaks) have done over a significant period of time, in order to draw comparisons. They are certainly no Cody-like draws, definitely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted Friday at 09:43 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:43 PM A chart like that is worthless if it doesn't tell us how those numbers compare to the typical ratings pattern for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been pointing out who they've been ratings death for months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
