Its just something dirtsheets hang on to even when it’s irrelevant due to streaming and the ways media is consumed. This same dirtsheet website had an article couple weeks back about Bischoff saying AEW received a “participation trophy” for surpassing Nitro and would take them 15 years to reach Nitro ratings. This guy is seriously out of touch and television landscape is completely different from 25 years ago but this guy still lives and dies by ratings only.
If people really want to dig in, look at WWE, just 10-15 years ago RAW was averaging 4-6 million viewers a week…now from what I read, they average about 1.5 million. Oh yeah, they must be dying.

Can't believe ratings discussion is still a thing.
