The song by Boney M is a classic.

Although what a 20th century Russian Monk has to do with it is anyone's guess.

Hopefully The Wrestling Observer will be out later today and have a US ratings breakdown.

The movement to Friday nights has clearly hurt but once the move from TNT to TBS in a settled time then the sky is the limit.

How will the addition of the second show in August affect this?

A good question. Traditionally adding shows has watered down the product but with the talent on the roster this could be the exception.

I believe we have a talented and deep enough roster to continue our rise, without seeing a significant degradation of intrigue. Certainly without any ennui setting in, as has happened with WWE (Reigns’ storyline aside) recently.

I see the E released a few wrestlers a week or so back.

Aleister Black could be a good addition to the roster. I remember having a pint and chat with him after a Progress show a few years back.

From the Observer:

"AEW on 6/4 had a unique but very disappointing showing with 462,000 viewers and 0.19 (247,000 viewers) in 18-49 and a 0.10 in 18-34."

As Meltzer says, it's disappointing but there's no need to panic.

Aleister Black was shite and rightly cut. Would show how desperate AEW are if they pick him up.

Can you even call yourself a WWE fan if you don’t watch NXT?

I don't think he could deal with the jump in competition. He'd do well to last five minutes with an athlete like Miro or Brian Cage.

When Cage is on an off cycle he might have a chance.
