Meltzer mentioned it in this week's WON, and Alvarez went into it in some detail on today's Live.

The key is if Nielsen tweaks their formula to correct the undercounting in certain categories Andy cited.

@amy.wrestlejoy.com Dave Meltzer cited Andy's work in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter and @bryanalvarez.bsky.social did an extended segment on Wrestling Observer Live (available on YouTube). Alvarez (and as best I can tell, Meltzer) correctly quoted it in an approving way.

Crowds are dropping at some of these tapings because of the insane ticket prices.

It's an escape. It's a fun, unique artform that allows ways to meet really cool, interesting, talented, creative people that one often wouldn't meet under any circumstances.

Stupid question: which indie do you run?

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 1h

It's clear he thoroughly read it and cited several points you made correctly.

Good to see your hard work being cited. It'll help folks understand the subject.

@andy.bsky.social
@bryanalvarez.bsky.social is also mentioning it on today's Wrestling Observer Live..he spent several minutes on it.

You can find the episode on YouTube at www.youtube.com/live/B7R3jLD...

The mention is about 40 minutes in.

Agreed. My idea is to make folks understand that. I've been shilling the Holiday charity shows for 10 years now.

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 2h

Gotta wonder how mainstream sports fans feel.

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 2h

Thing is, TKO is in bed with MAGA, so Levesque is representing them.

More women on Dynamite.

Look at working with WBD and partners CMLL and NJPW to air matches with AEW talent (as seen with ROH last night).

Can folks on #aew do the same as well?

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 7h

Hey folks, wondering if you could make a point to share the various charity shows I post on #wrestlesky and #indiewresling on whatever social media you're on? One way to fight the darkness around these days is to publicize events that provide folks with material aid and support causes we believe in.

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 4h

Precisely.

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 4h

Yup. But there's a lot more folks with VPNs watching it on Netflix then they think.

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 5h

I think he's extremely complimentary of what you wrote.

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 5h

Because there are presumably people who support him and others less so that are happy to spin facts the way they want.

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 5h

FYI......your article/analysis on Nielsen changes got cited in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter (for subscribers both online and the few remaining hardcopy), which'll put some additional eyeballs on it.

Thought you'd like to be aware...

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 6h

Does this surprise you? Soon as they announced DC, I fully expected Trump or at least Administration people to be all over.

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 6h

Netflix airs all WWE programming live. But people can watch it at any point.

Bob Magee @bobmagee940.bsky.social · 6h

Someone leeching off MAGA and sex traffickers is talking about AEW's morality?

Except AEW's number on Title Tuesday is basically identical to last year's (and that's with the Nielsen formula change) head to head. NXT's is down by one-third.

Someone just got fired.

Increase women's matches on Dynamite.

Set up an agreement to incorporate matches from CMLL and NJPW using AEW talent onto AEW TV.
