Chavo and Rey had 15 WWE singles matches, as well as 4 WCW ones and one Lucha Underground. They did have 5 singles matches in 4 weeks once though, which is what made me look them up.

Smackdown results added to the OP. To be honest the only really notable stuff is the opening and closing stuff, and the highlight of the night which was the Fashion Files segment.

Someone give this idea to Vince, I'm sure it'd happen. Could lead to some awesome vignettes.

The same is less true for going from nxt to television.

NXT is pretty much safe because it's not NXT's job to make money, but a lot of other stuff, including 205 Live, would get cut.

The dumbest thing about 205 is that the obvious solution to getting crowds more into it is letting them have exciting cruiserweight matches that are different from the rest of the WWE.

VJeff posted:I think Network content will be deeply deeply slashed because that division isn't exactly profitable last I read. It's mildly profitable in strong quarters and for the MOST part the numbers have pretty steadily risen, at least in terms of the sub ceiling getting higher year after year, but they're a substantial way (about 100k-ish according to a financial analyst from Citi) from making up for the PPV gap, but that doesn't factor in the initial startup costs either. Still, I'd characterize it as consistently break even to slightly profitable with decent upward prospects in a vacuum. It's certainly not losing a ton quarter on quarter anymore though.

Chill Nazi Frog posted:also, Golden Truth feud is criminally underrated I maintain that the main reason no one cares about that feud is because The Golden Truth spent months either jobbing or just not appearing on TV. It's hard for people to get invested in this break up angle when most people forgot they were even still together.

Still, I'd characterize it as consistently break even to slightly profitable with decent upward prospects in a vacuum. It's certainly not losing a ton quarter on quarter anymore though. It's still nowhere close to making what the TV deal is, and probably will never get there at the current rate of adding subscribers and cost on the service. Plus while it's adding sub numbers I get the feeling a decent % of those are soft, either people that are on free months that will quit or people that just sub for the months of the big PPV's (just using the service as a PPV service). I suppose if the TV deal does get slashed they could always sell ads but than the WWE ad rate is always terrible so that probably won't make that much a difference rare Magic card l00k posted:NXT would (probably) be fine, but there would probably be cuts to the Eric Youngs of the roster. I'm pretty sure if the TV rights money took a huge cut NXT would be back to being purely developmental and no longer trying to be the super indy.

I like Lio Rush and since Bryan I'd my favorite wrestler I try not to be all heightist about wrestlers but dude is like an inch taller than my old lady and she's literally a foot shorter than I am (I'm barely 6'3). Dude is maybe shorter than Rey and not as musclebound. I really have no idea what he would do in wwe.

TBF if you are 100% set on going to the WWE you probably want to go now because if the TV rights deal does go south they probably won't signing anyone new for awhile. It's just for some going to the WWE is probably not the best business move

I just had a vision of a Brooklyn 99/Angie Tribeca type show with Breezango, Owens and Jericho, and Summer Rae and Fox. In my head its a mess but its a mess I love. Cena plays the captain.

In response to the Undertaker posts pages ago: I remember growing up that part of his gimmick was that he "personally crafted" the coffins for each opponent. Was the Warrior casket the first one or did he just phone it in by buying a regular casket and putting some stickers on it? E: i'm dumb

Maybe Rovert can verify this; but that's not a bad gig if so. Someone like him never gets on Raw or house shows so it sounds right. Neville will work more since he's on like every house show and regularly Raw, plus whoever is currently involved in Neville storylines.
