The AEW figures don't included FITE.TV viewers which I assume is a pretty big number among dedicated fans.
3000 is BIG yikes. I wonder if anything got less viewers that time slot.

Pretty hilarious. I don't know anyone who watches Raw weekly - it's fucking 3 hours long and you can just watch a highlights video on YouTube.
Also Smackdown being on Friday nights is an insta-nope for me, as I'm usually busy being sociable then.

I'll try and watch Raw but usually tap out within the first hour. I don't have Fox so I don't watch Smackdown. AEW's 2 hours fly by.

No it's at 00:00 or 01:00 and runs 3 hours.
But the fact they had a 93% viewership drop off from the prior week is incredible. Fans will stay up for something they like. I watch AEW live each week on Fite.tv for 2 hours at that time

People have to work, how many people do they expect to tune into a three hour show at midnight, even if just to watch and hour or so.
I know the show isn't that great, but I think that time slot is killing it more than anything.

Yeah WWE was huge 10-15 years ago. I used to watch both shows every week but i can't go through anything these days.
I would love to know how much BT are paying for this shite when they takeover from Sky.
Has anybody snapped up the UK FTA highlights show the WWE were shopping around?

He probably misses the good old World of Sport days with rounds and crap right?
Well, I'd be interested to compare these figures against Thursday, Monday and Sunday night football, all of which air at 1:20am here and also on Sky.
People in the UK working around their sleeping arrangements for sporting events isn't new or unusual.
Jesus it got 3000! ? Theres no where near that many people on Earth. They must be view botting hard
Yeah man, they have their last few weeks of shows on catchup, too! Started watching last night. Great stuff so far.
Why would they suddenly drop from 23k to 3k in one week if the reason is the time slot they've been in for over a decade? That isn't what's killing it, that's an excuse, what's killing it is that Raw's a terrible show and there's far better alternatives out there now.
Yep. Tons of people (including me) stayed up for raw 20 years ago when it was hot. If I didn't I got spoiled at uni the next day lol

Yes, the schedule for it is (it's a bit of a mess because ITV can't seem to schedule it consistently):
Live: 1am Thursday mornings via "AEW Plus" subscription on Fite.tv (£4.89 / month, episodes are commercial free so you get to see promos/parts of matches etc while ITV has adverts)
10pm Thursday night: ITV Hub on demand (this is the time that keeps moving round, ITV can't seem to upload it by the time they say it should be available)
10pm Friday night: ITV4
11:45pm Monday night: ITV1, hour long highlights
Similarly to how it works in the US. They have a representative sample of the population that lets them log their TV viewing and they extrapolate.
We did some shows over in Europe last year that got I think 2000 people? It's nice to know that we are almost at the level of wrestling.
