Bully Ray Claims He Or Tommy Dreamer Could Help AEW Dynamite Draw Over 1 Million Viewers
Bully Ray claims AEW Dynamite would top 1 million viewers if himself or Tommy Dreamer helped out
TV ratings are an important metric in wrestling's success, and whilst not as imperative to success as they were in the 1990s and 2000s, it’s a figure still held to scrutiny by fans, commentators, and pro wrestlers alike.
For All Elite Wrestling, they have done many episodes of Dynamite that have gone over the one million viewer mark in North America, but have not drawn that level of viewership on a consistent basis. But Bully Ray knows how they can get over the one million mark once more.
Bully Ray was speaking about the recent Jack Perry heel turn in AEW and how the FTW Champion has been running down ECW and legends from the iconic Philadelphia promotion, and said the following on Busted Open Radio:
"If the story went down the ECW road and I showed up in the right town… there's monster business to be done there," Bully said. "This is not me blowing smoke up my own ass... if you announced that Bully Ray, or even Tommy Dreamer to the matter, were showing up on 'AEW Dynamite' on whatever week it was, to come face-to-face and confront Jack Perry, you're doing over a million viewers. Guaranteed.
"Tommy fits the part the best. Him and Taz were the bestest of best friends, Tommy was Taz' best man at his wedding. The story is so deep, it's there if you want to go down the ECW road. If you do go down that ECW road, you will make Jack Perry a bigger star at the end of this story than you can with any other talent that's in ECW right now."
Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer are both part of IMPACT who have enjoyed a working relationship with AEW over the past few years. Dreamer has appeared in an AEW ring before, wrestling at the inaugural Double or Nothing PPV in 2019 as part of the Casino Battle Royale.
