CobiWann posted:So WWE's been pushing the Network and eschewing traditional PPV for years, and now they expect the same people they told to subscribe the Network because "traditional PPV is for idiots" to buy a traditional PPV a week after the last PPV so they won't buy the competition's PPV next week. Is that right? Is payback not on the network?

The last time they tried something like this was having This Tuesday in Texas five days after Survivor Series and people were pissed.

Red posted:https://twitter.com/bradcandoit/status/1299784436737806337 Aside from the rape and her misremembering Gary Davis's name as Gary Hart, basically everything else she said by one of Jimmy Hart's contemporaneous blogs about the Kuwait trip for WWE.com: https://www.wwe.com/inside/news/archive/straightfromthehart4 WWE would deny this, with Jerry McDevitt adding to Dave Meltzer that everyone on the trip said there was no such an incident...except for Maria Kanellis, who said she wasn't sure/couldn't remember. WWE's statement, more specifically, said that "At no time was Vince McMahon or the management of WWE ever informed by Ashley Massaro or anybody else that she had been sexually assaulted, drugged, raped or sodomized by a military doctor with a nurse standing guard while on a goodwill tour in 2007 to U.S. military bases in Kuwait." However, in fighting the lawsuit, they did say that “As best WWE can determine, Massaro became ill while there, was treated by a military doctor, and was later heard telling others that she believed that the doctor had done an inappropriate pelvic exam.” Those things sounds at least partially contradictory. WWE also released copypasta of alleged excerpts from an email Ashley had sent WWE expressing regret over her involvement in the lawsuit, but as unauthenticated, out of context copypasta about a lawsuit she hadn't withdrawn from, you couldn't really take it at face value.

Dangerous Person posted:Echoing the posts saying that Eat My Fuc is good people Hey EMF. Don’t know if it helps but you aren’t alone. 2020 has brought about dark times for lots of people. Sounds trite but remember that quote from the Crow “it can’t rain all the time”. I made a Gen X reference just FOR YOU! Also there is good wrassling all over... not everything is a Vince McMahon death march. Also go look at the gbs blessed pics thread as hard to be sad with pics of fat stripey cats and goofy puppers.

JUNGLE BOY posted:Is payback not on the network? It is. It's also on traditional PPV, as they've been since the Network started, whether the company makes you aware of that or not In recent years they went away from having events so close together.  But Then Last month they decided to have Payback happen a week after SummerslamOne guess why. Give up? Okay: MassRafTer posted:When Meltzer proposed the two potential reasons for Payback existing are they wanted to rush Roman Reigns into the main event or they wanted to sabotage All Out by flooding the market with big PPV shows I thought "eh, seems a little far fetched and stupid even for them." Jerusalem posted:Apparently the sole reason for this PPV being today is to try and saturate the audience so they don't order ALL OUT next week

Be strong, EMF. poo poo's tough but its worth fighting.Pylons posted:I'm assuming it's more of an attention span thing? Like the idea is they won't want to watch a PPV three weeks in a row. Yeah, I assume the basic strategy is people who have the Network will watch it and burn out on wrestling so they won't want to pay for more.

Trying to oversaturate things to dog the competition doesn't work when your ratings are at all time lows, you've spent years calling people morons for buying PPVs, and literally no one gives a poo poo about your product.

Eat My Fuc posted:Will turning Roman heel get him cheered? It seems like the reddit goofs have been begging for it for 5 years but if it does what then do they treat it like Becky or treat it lIke Roman where they pretend the reaction isn’t happening? Am I remembering wrong or was there a period (before he left for his cancer treatment) that they just had him come out, not cut promos, and beat the poo poo out of people. If you do that people will probably cheer him. If you keep having Vince write his promos then no one will cheer him because he won't be compelling.

Adam Cole BAYLEY, sign Statlander and team her with Karrion to make Kris-Kross (and then release her so she can go back somewhere better), re-sign Spears and team him with Dakota to make Kai 'n' Ty (and then don't release him because he sucks), Aleister Blackheart... Put it on some weirdo streaming platform nobody watches, like the WWE network.
