Heels Viewership, CM Punk On Ring Rust, Bryan Danielson Marks 20 Years Of Wrestling | Fight Size
Here is your fight size update for Tuesday, October 5, 2021.
– Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics reports that episode 7 of the Starz series “Heels” has seen another drop in viewership.
After a one week hiatus, the seventh episode of Heels on Sunday night on Starz was watched by 73,000 viewers, including 29,000 aged 18 to 49 (0.02 rating).
That’s the lowest for total viewership yet for Heels, but an above average audience in 18 to 49. For just the second time, the program ranked in the top 150 among cable originals for the day, at #135, according to Showbuzz Daily.
– Speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri for ET Canada, CM Punk commented on ring rust upon returning.
I think it was just quieting that voice in my head that doubted anything. Cardio is fine, timing is fine. I was always a storyteller. You’ll never see me do a triple-jump moonsault to the floor or anything like that. It’s more about tugging on people’s heartstrings and getting them to care about me as a human being, really. If I have an advantage over anybody, I think that’s one of them. I have this rare connection with the crowd. I just think I need more reps. I need to get out there more in front of a live audience and wrestle. I’ll be back to form in no time. I think I haven’t missed a beat. That was kind of the goal. To go out there and make it look like I’ve been wrestling last week. I think mission accomplished. I just want to get out there and here the crowd more. That’s all I want to do is be in that moment.
– In a new tweet, Bryan Danielson has reflected on 20 years in the industry.
October 4, 1999 was my first ever professional wrestling match, a 10 minute draw against Bryan Kendrick at Far West Rodeo in San Antonio, TX. It’s been an amazing 22 years, but it still feels like the best is yet to come —
