| 0:00.0 | Hello there, my very good friends, on this wrestling news video, Tony Cam believes AW is closing the gap on the Fed. John Siena swears he won't wrestle again. Could be some big-time NXT call-ups coming soon. And will Vince McMahon be at Sina's last match? I'm Adam Wilborn. And I'm Andy Murray. H stands from hung out. Yeah, I forgot the H again. This is the news. |
| 0:21.6 | Alright, we're gonna kick this one off by talking about some Tony Can comments from a couple of days ago |
| 0:25.6 | that have kind of re-entered discussion because Dave Meltzer has done a bit of an editorial on it and stuff. |
| 0:31.6 | Stir in the old pot. |
| 0:32.6 | The old Potsky brother. |
| 0:34.6 | So, I mean, the banner headline coming out of this is his belief. The AEW has really |

| 1:26.9 | I saw this again today because Dave broke it down a number of key metrics. So I saw this again today |
| 1:28.9 | because Dave broke it down a little bit |
| 1:31.3 | on Wrestling Observer Radio to where he was like |
| 1:33.3 | technically in terms of TV ratings |
| 1:35.5 | that's kind of true because the A.A.W. |
| 1:37.5 | Decline with these new Nielsen things |
| 1:39.3 | has not been as sharp as it has for Smackdown |
| 1:43.0 | and obviously raw is complicated because it's on Netflix, |
| 1:48.1 | but, like, most studies suggest that the live viewership of Raw is down on Netflix |
