Television Tho Prop Grops Throps

The New Day stuff the last 2 weeks has been brilliant.

Also goes to show how much everyone cared about the act, even when they were spinning their wheels for what feels like years now
 
KO and Jericho was a great storyline. The festival of friendship was such a great segment. They should have battled for the wwe championship instead of Goldberg that bauld bum.
 
Good start to worlds end with Ospreay vs Fletcher now hopefully Okada beats Riccochet and we get Ospreay vs Okada if we get with no interference in that match we could find ourselves with a very late contender for MOTY (for me it’s currently Ospreay vs Danielson)

It's interesting how the lines are blurred with them. Obviously these lines are agreed beforehand and no-one is going off-script or anything like that but I'd love to see the meeting between them on how they agree on what's being said etc "You don't like me, I don't like you but we can tell a good story, get a Mania main event and make a lot of money from this."

Can't find the reply tweet I'm looking for now, but it was basically this:

Triple H: Draw me money.

Seth and Punk:
 
Early days but the switch over to Netflix doesn’t look as great as hoped. Only a handful of the Raw and Smackdown episodes from back in the day. Hopefully that’s eventually going to change, was hoping they would just migrate everything over.

Watching the very first Raw right now, takes me back.
 
A lot of WWE content has been added to Netflix and it’s pretty impressive for Day 1. Each main PPV is categorised and goes back to the beginning, they’ve done a good job with the layout it’s not overwhelming for people looking to get into it.

They will drip feed it as a small incentive to keep people subbed when the live shows go through quieter periods in terms of story telling.

I actually think it would be good to cycle the content in and out anyway, it keeps people watching the same thing and sparks online conversation.

Pretty happy with the initial release.

Far, far too much content to just migrate over.

When the network first started, it was a similar situation and the content came over time before it was full.
 
Im confused. Is it just Raw on Netflix in terms of the current live shows or is Smackdown going to be on there as well? It's a bit rubbish if it's one but not the other.

No chance they're putting every past tv show onto netflix but that's not the end of the world. I don't think they ever will either. At least not without some heavy editing. There's a lot of stuff that was "ok at the time" (it wasn't) that would bring some not entirely positive attention netflix's way if they just chucked it on there now.

If you're in the UK it's both and NXT.

Think they'll eventually put on all the raws, smackdowns and even NXTs. Everything else, major episodes/events of important shows. Couple of nitros here and there maybe, but we'll never see thunder on there.

I don't think 90s wrestling is a bother for them either. They've spent billions on the content and everything that comes with it, fresh off accusations for Vince McMahon. They've already started putting it up anyway.

Well that's good then. Means I don't have to do anything which is the most important part.

I dunno. It was easy for WWE to justify chuckibg everything on their own media platform as it's their own historic content and only of interest to wrestling fans. Netflix have a little bit more responsibility. They can give it appropriate ratings but I'm thinking more the deliberate humiliation of women, casual racism etc.

Not just that but the sheer amount of content. They don't need it all on there really and would have to vet anything they did go on.
 
Get in, time to have a look at some classic characters, Adam Bomb, Bam Bam Bigelow, The Model Rick Martel, The Warlord. Proper wrestlers.

Don’t underestimate the amount of people that do and would like to continue to watch the old school stuff. There’s a good amount of people that like to binge through the old content. Nobody wants to start watching from the start of the attitude era and missing out three quarters of the content.

You don’t go from providing your viewers with your entire library of content to then taking that away and giving them a tiny percentage of it, that’s just a bit shit tbh.
 
Do we expect all the territory era stuff to be moved over, the best part of the network was the old nwa and mid south etc stuff imo

Well you do because that's what they've done. I'm one of those who binge watches the old content, usually while wfh. Although I got through the nostalgia parts I most wanted to.

They must have looked at the Network viewing and subscription figures and think they've worked out a better way to provide the content and make more money. Because on the face of it going from £9.99 a month for WWE content, to less than that for WWE plus the entire Netflix library, desn't make much sense financially.

I reckon they will drip feed it, so the archived stuff gets more viewers per programme where it is more focused and only available for say 2-3 months at a time. Then they can get some ad revenue from it....although admittedly have no idea how it actually works but that's how I can make it make sense in my head. If you've got 30 years of weely shows all up at the same time you can have thousands of people viewing it but 90% of it might be watched about three times a week.
 
If BT sport is finished with wwe and Netflix doesn’t start till Monday, does anyone know where Smackdown will be on in the uk? Is Smackdown going to be on Netflix aswell or just Raw? Cheers
