My 2 cents thinking outside the box. Get rid of Rampage and Make Collision either a Saturday Morning(say like 10 AM) or Saturday at 6:00 PM show. Probably just a case I am thinking what worked in the 80s could work now, But I would be interested to see if a show can find audiences in "traditional" wrestling hours.

Saturday,especially in the evening,is a terrible day with College Football back.Factor in MLB starting their playoffs in a few weeks and Aew's ratings will fall even more.

I actually like the idea of the morning show. It would be a time just when people get up or been up for a hour or 2, but just before afternoon sports begin. You sort of pandering to people who may be watching TV at a time that normally nothing is on.

NXT pulls a huge rating (for NXT) coming off the Von Wagner getting killed cliff hanger last week and Becky being advertised against Tiff.
850K and .26 demo.

Maybe just make dynamite longer since rampage is filmed minutes after dynamite ends.
Then move Collision to Thursdays?

Becky vs Tiff apparently peaked over 1 million. That's crazy impressive for NXT
3 hours ruined Raw for me, it just got to much.
Maybe Tony Kahn can do a show like Tuesday Night Titans(from the 80s). lol

To be fair wasn't the prior week one of the worst Smackdown ratings in awhile or was that a couple weeks ago? Actually I wanted to be correct so I searched and yes it was last week.

- August 18, 2023: 2.233 million viewers (preliminary), 2.094 million viewers (final)
- August 25, 2023: 2.505 million viewers (preliminary), 2.647 million viewers (final)

Side note: AEW consistently puts MJF in the middle of the show, the ratings tank after his segment, they drop all the way into the mid 700Ks for the main event segment.
WWE consistently puts Roman Reigns in the main event segment of Smackdown when he's available and pops that quarter by 200K - 300K.
... It makes me laugh how Tony Khan was recently "Booker of the year", while regularly laying out his show to progressively lose 150K - 200K viewers.

College handegg and US Open men's semifinals seems to be the correct answer., especially the latter.

I find it kind of hard to believe that wrestling and tennis has a large overlap in fan bases

People voted on that. That wasn’t named arbitrarily by Dave. That’s always going to slant anti-WWE because most of those subscribers thinks they’re too cool to think otherwise.

Yeah it's paid WON subscribers that vote in Dave's awards and they have a built in anti-wwe slant and also tend to lean towards the stuff Dave and Bryan like.
Though if I remember, Dave was actually pretty critical of the voters in last year's awards and thought they were pretty off the mark and overly bias.

PWI is a totally separate thing and is voted internally and is also kayfabe.
Seth was over Roman because he defended his title more this year and Roman had two prominent tag losses

That’s a really long bridge to cross to suggest the two are mutually exclusive.
Nearly breaking a guy's neck or shattering your leg doing an erector set spot during a nothing show are apparently what qualifies as "Good wrestling" now lol.
