He should go back to K-Kwik and get Rowdy!
Raw is Netflix
- Thread starter Barry_BondsMVP
- Start date
and you think that's going to last more than a week?
2.6 million viewers is nowhere close to 600k. So, no. No one thinks Dynamite is getting the same viewership. By the way, during the leadup to Truth/Cena, SD viewership decreased to some of its lowest numbers in years, so....
That's the rumor. We'll have to see if anyone wants to see him if the comedy is gone.
I hope he can’t remember if he’s a heel or baby face.
I mean if that don't count as moving the needle, I don't know what does. Keep that up for another day or two, and he might break CM Punk's record.
Where are you getting that number from? When I went to look up a YouTube video for his return, I don't see one.
To be honest I have no idea how they come up with those engagement numbers. You see the WWE Short has like 3.something million views, and the full vid another million and a half, and then the same for their Facebook, or whatever. So it's across ALL social media of which there are too many for me to care to count. And I don't know if it includes only the video themselves, or reactions/posts-about-it/memes, etc.
But that is what people keep parroting. In fact now they saying over 50m in 36 hours. We'll see tonight on RAW if they spotlight it, because during the RAW recaps of the PLE's, WWE absolutely loves to show off their engagement numbers.
I do know that even MLB got in on the action for another 1.5m.

Punk's return has like 100-150m on just YouTube, bruv.
Yeah, now. The standards being used from the posts I was quoting were in "x amount of days" not just all time, otherwise temporal bias wins every time. So at the end of T-giving weekend, within 48 hours was 71m for Punk.
Punk return draws 71M fans to WWE platforms
The return of wrestler CM Punk over the weekend helped WWE grab more than 71 million viewers across its platforms, making it the biggest social post in the sports entertainment company's history.

So Truth was only having a shot of overtaking him if:
1) the numbers people were posting were accurate
2) If the engagement kept up the current rate and didn't fall off (which it obviously did)
Regardless if you like the Busted Open guys, decent debate about the Work/Shoot stuff:

TLDW: Dave is uncertain doesn't care, Mark/Bullly thinking work, everybody doesn't trust the dirtsheets reporting everything after the fact when they suddenly know everything and knew nothing ahead of time.

Also near in mind, that when you're talking about someone as a draw, you're also assuming it'll be sustainable. Two years out, Punk still does big numbers. I don't see Truth getting big numbers two weeks from now.Yeah, now.

Anecdotally, I'm being spammed with "Click here to watch R-Truth surprise return!!!" by the Facebook wrestling pages more than anything I've ever seen before including anything Rock, Punk or Cena related from the last two years.

Oh 100%, same here. Grass roots vs astro-turfed, etc. That could account for a lot of it as well (again assuming numbers are accurate).
Corporate Punk vs Punished Ron Killings would make for a great program.
Well, doing just a little quick looking, it looks like the Truth returning vids have roughly have a million views on IG, 6.8 million on TikTok, 5.2 million on youtube, 5.5 million on twitter, etc.
That's just the main WWE account, and the WWE on USA channel on youtube. Who knows how many other additional / related channels & accounts they're adding into all that, as well.

It also has 13.6m views on Blacked.com
Don't ask me how I know. I DO NOT have a lifetime subscription.
Good call. So much for corporate Punk fantasy throwing the mic flag away. lol
Ugh. Now I've gotta suffer through the rest of the show to see Troof...
