Bully Ray is confident that either himself or Tommy Dreamer would garner 1 million views for AEW if they shared a segment with FTW Champion Jack Perry.
While AEW continues to boast impressive ratings, including 12 straight weeks above 800,000 viewers, it has been some time since Dynamite reached seven figures.
On a recent edition of “Busted Open Radio,” Bully Ray was confident he or Dreamer could break this million-viewer-drought if they got the chance to work with Perry. He said,
“If the story went down the ECW road and I showed up in the right town … there’s monster business to be done there.
“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’s 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.”
On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, former ECW World Champion Jerry Lynn confronted Perry, sparking debate online as to who else could appear from the extreme company.
Perry and Lynn will come face-to-face on next week’s 200th episode of AEW Dynamite.
