WWE in Fall 2024/Winter 2025: Anyone still watching?

[Hawk 34]

TK has to do the funny thing Wednesday

Book Orange Cassidy on top?

 

[Valeyard]

Hell yeah

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

WWE is adding a US title for the women's division

On one hand I love that because it's more for people to do (Dakota needs something, man). On the other i don't trust them to fill time wisely anymore.

I tend to side with Cam Hawkins' take on this: you don't need more titles, you need better booking/stories.

 

[Valeyard]

You can do both, and the women especially need more things to do to create storyline. The roster is deep enough that it makes sense, but there's less TV time now so it won't work like it could.

 

[Hawk 34]

Speaking of the female talent, PWI is saying WWE and Becky are nearing a new agreement and Becky will be returning in time for the Netflix debut.

It would appear along with Cody, Punk and Roman that Becky was targeted by Netflix as an important promotional piece.

 

[Sex Machine Gun]

While I'm bummed that the less than zero chance of her going to AEW sounds totally dead now, I'm happy to hear Netflix was wanting a women's division star.

 

[Tino Standard]

If all the issues with the broadcast of this Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight are any indication, Netflix better get its weight up before it gets Raw in January.

 

[Hawk 34]

Two big factors are that Raw won’t have even have a quarter of the audience that fight had and also, WWE has been airing on streaming platforms for a decade now so they are better equipped and prepared for it.

The real issue for Netflix is if they can handle the NFL Christmas Games as well.

Maybe this belongs in one of the Trump presidency threads in Current Events, but Linda McMahon is likely to be the secretary of the Department of Education next year.

You mean the department he's gone on record saying he's going to dismantle and get rid of?

 

[Super Leather]

She's going to kill off the American education system like how Vince killed the territories in the '80s or something.

 

[Fall of Epic]

WWE Network is moving to Netflix in January so thank goodness no one has to keep their Peacock subscriptions.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Speak for yourself: I'm locked into a Peacock subscription for at least another year, and I'm not paying for Netflix.

 

[alkeiper]

The lack of love for new Night Court is disturbing.

 

[JN News]

WWE Network is moving to Netflix in January so thank goodness no one has to keep their Peacock subscriptions.

If that's true, I do hope that Hogan's NHB movie trailer in WM5, Piper/Brown WM6 is reinstated and they hopefully bring back all the hidden gems, like the NWA/JCP GAB summer tour events are brought back. If they do this with Netflix, then AND ONLY THEN will I finally get back into watching wrestling, again.

They took it out?

 

[JN News]

Peacock? Yes, they did.

 

[Valeyard]

I'm waiting to see what gets transferred and isn't cut to shit.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Peacock? Yes, they did.

Interesting: I only use Peacock to watch the stuff I don't already have on DVD, so I never would have had occasion to learn that. Was there any sort of explanation?

 

[JN News]

The Roddy Piper blackface thing at WM6 was considered "so offensive" that Peacock demanded that the whole match be edited out of WM6 and Vince had to cave into their demands.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

And the Hogan trailer?

 

[geniusMoment]

Last I heard in the US only Raw (and it's archives) was moving to Netflix. Peacock has a deal for everything else until Spring of 2026 I think.

 

[JN News]

And the Hogan trailer?

I wish I knew. But I don't.

That’s still the case.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Fake news Epic strikes again.

SAD!

 

[strummer]

CM Punk returned to WWE one year ago today

 

[strummer]

 

[Valeyard]

I wish we got some deleted Wrestling With Shadows scenes now.

 

[Fall of Epic]

Following the introduction of the women's US title, apparently there's gonna be an IC title for the ladies too.

Anyone complaining about AEW having too many championships can kindly shut the fuck up.
