Someone on the f4w board made an interesting post analyzing the quarter hour ratings and I thought it was worth sharing herequote:I have analysed the quarter hour ratings for AEW Dynamite as reported in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter to see who has a positive/negative effect on ratings.

Chuck Taylor is less than half of a ratings loser compared to good guy Trent?

there's a lot wrong with their methodology but also I don't know what could possibly motivate someone who is presumably just a fan to do all that or care much at all.

I think quarter hour ratings analysis is a silly thing to do in and of itself. It assumes a ton of information from a very small amount of data with no other factors considered. Its always felt to me like a "sports radio" excuse to talk thing for wrestling fans/media. In this case like, his evidence just seems to support the idea that people who get booking in major main event storylines draw ratings. Which just says people watch the main event stuff more than the undercard stuff. Even Sammy who hasn't had any kind of main event push probably gets a huge boost because he's been involved so much with Jericho. The methodology says the Inner Circle doesn't get credit for Jericho segments, but Sammy's tagged with Jericho or had so many dual promos with him that I have to assume he did benefit a lot. But again, that doesn't mean he's leeching off Jericho, it just means people watch the main stories including when he's in them. It just doesn't feel substantial in any way to me. At least not without more information of the guy's methodology. But even with that, he's still analyzing small ratings fluctuations in 15 minute intervals without consideration for anything else in the world. So I'm not sure what use it would be anyway.

I'm just going to assume that the guy who posted that really doesn't like the Young Bucks and that the whole purpose of his "analysis" was to say they make ratings bad

I didn't care for MJF cutting a heel promo about avoiding travel, but Mox telling me to call my grandma evened it out (thankfully grandma texts). I think I'd have preferred the Cody/Darby finish if Cody had gotten his knees up rolled through to the cradle but I get what they were going for. Good show overall!

I'm starting to get the feeling they might be in for the long haul on the Cody/Darby rivalry with Cody being Darby's white whale. And when he finally beats Cody clean it will be his graduation into the Main Event scene (and possible world title run).

MJF needs one more win to get the number one contendership, so he arranges a match with Wardlow and tells Mr Mayhem to lie down or he's fired. Mr Mayhem Mr Mayhems.

I love Wardlow. He's like throwing a firecracker down a hole and bones flying out. Just poo poo gently caress WOW energy maxed out. That said, please don't let him be a regular singles act. I think that's the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen Lance do that rope walk plancha and its still unreal. I'm also glad they intentionally muffed the Brother vs Brother finale retirement angle for down the road. That's a match that deserves a full arena. Tony was right this was excellent episode. I hope the ratings reflect this.

While it’s a completely predictable Finals match of Archer/Cody (still miffed that Darby lost, both my wife and I audibly shouted “BULLSHIT!” when Cody rolled him off the Coffin Drop), I am unbelievably hype for Archer to murderdeathkill Cody (or, conversely, Cody will look like a million bucks if he triumphantly vanquishes Archer, albeit by the skin of his teeth). Predictable when done well is super good and fun.

The next day, I still like what they did with the ending of Cody/Darby. I think that the camera angle was off and the commentary didn't help, but for the story it was great.

lance should big boot cody out cold right as the bell rings and then crouch down upon his lifeless body and crush his skull into the mat over and over until the match is called as a KO

I was watching without sound and thought Darby won with just an absolutely botched pin. Finding out Reflecting Cody winning wasn't bad but the execution was just dismal, I just tuned out the rest of the ep. I YouTube's the other segments tho, which ruled, those should def be checked out.

Lance Archer is a god drat star. Where was this guy all these years? I used to skip every KES match in new japan they were so boring. DBS Jr held him back like a lead balloon. I thought maybe the G1 was a flash in the pan but no, this guy has got it and also AEW really know how to build people and present people as stars.

I wonder if this is going to lead to Darby realizing that the Coffin Drop is an unreliable finisher and save it for desperate situations, and him transitioning to using Last Supper more often. In that interview before the match, he was like "Yeah, Cody beat the Coffin Drop last time, but it was because Arn told him to get the knees up, but no one ever kicks out of the Coffin Drop." Now, Cody didn't exactly kick out, but he reversed it while half dead. I'm just thinking that behind the scenes maybe one of the old heads is telling Darby to transition to using something else as his regular finish if he still wants to be able to move his arms and legs in ten years, and not being able to take out Cody with it is their way of telling that story.

that dustin/lance match was wonderful and way better than I anticipated. really felt like a hard fought war by the end of it and the way they built the unstoppable monster of lance archer throughout the match was really well done (both in ring and on commentary).

It would be cool in the eventual Darby win over Cody if he goes up for the Coffin Drop, jumps off the turnbuckle and lands on his feet in front of Cody who has his knees up, and seamlessly transitions into the Last Supper for the victory. Sorry for fantasy booking

From Mike Johnson at PWInsiderquote:If you enjoyed the last few weeks of AEW Dynamite, including tonight's episode, the shows taped in Georgia were all written by AEW President Tony Khan. The word making the rounds is that Khan, realizing that he was going to have a very small crew due to shut-in rulings around the country, sat down and wrote the last four weeks of TV on the fly at once by himself in a matter of minutes, built around the TNT Championship tournament and the local talents that were available. It was very much a "trial by fire" moment where Khan and his crew had to quickly pivot and come up with something that could work to further company storylines and utilize their reduced resources in terms of crew and talent. Obviously, if you watched Dynamite the last few weeks, you can see that the plan paid off, as the shows have been extremely strong every week, especially given the fact that they were using about 1/3rd of their contracted talent. The tapings had been built around the idea of presenting them similar in nature to old territorial TV (but with AEW's spin on things) as Khan was a huge fan of Memphis and Continental, among other similar promotions.

writing 8 hours of tv in "a matter of minutes" is not impressive. A couple of the shows were pretty good and a couple were not. next loving time this happens, write for at least an hour. Take it seriously like all your viewers do.

It's definitely been a step down quality wise from their regular shows but given the circumstances they did a decent job putting together a ton of TV on the fly
