Eric Bischoff Tells Tony Khan Not To Worry About Low AEW Collision Ratings

After a strong debut where ratings were concerned, AEW’s new Saturday show Collision has taken a steep dive in terms of viewership over the last two weeks, particularly last week where the numbers looked similar to that of the often ignored Rampage show.

One man who has often been critical of AEW and Tony Khan, Eric Bischoff, has given his thoughts on this drop in views on the Strictly Business podcast, but offered some reassurance in the way of the AEW owner when it comes to reasons why the numbers look worrying.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much if I was Tony. It's the Fourth of July weekend. There's just not a lot of people sitting around watching television over the Fourth of July weekend, at least not as many as there normally are. That's one factor.

“When I say I wouldn't be concerned, I would be aware. I wouldn't be panicking. It wouldn't be keeping me up at night, but I would definitely be aware because at 452,000 viewers, that's 40 to 45% of a drop from their initial premiere episode only three weeks ago. I predicted they were going to drop somewhere between 25 and 30 and they dropped 27%. I don't think you can get more accurate than that in a forecast. But when you're losing 40 plus percent within three weeks, let's see what happens next Saturday.”

Bischoff went on to say that if this trend continued, then there would be reason to start worrying about the show.
