What the gently caress are they doing with Dean and Seth? Dean and Seth vs. Miztourage two on three?

Blasmeister posted:This would cause so many problems considering HHH/Steph's corporate positions but returning to a 17 year old storyline would be so loving hilarious I have to support this idea I would legit be cool with that as long as they had an amicable split afterwards. I don't want Heel Dean v. Face Seth at ALL but the opposite would just be a rehash, albeit rehash of one of my favorite feuds ever.

I will say this, the Joe/Reigns/Brock segment was awesome as hell because the crowd was basically reacting like it was a rap battle or something. Also they'd better do a Joe/Lesnar/Braun/Roman Fatal Four Way at Summerslam. I wasn't kidding, that'd be the most Kaiju-tastic match in wrestling history.

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.

Upon further consideration I have come to the conclusion that while I am disappointed by the (more or less) cancellation of Talking Smack, I still really enjoy WWE and the Network is a good as heck value. I don't feel great giving WWE money but that's like 95% of companies so that's kinda a wash for me personally. I realize that's an immensely hot take on my part but that's my story and I''m sticking to it personally.

BrigadierSensible posted:How do people who take up the free months of the network and then unsubscribe affect the numbers? They can and do, but that's why WWE very clearly says [x] number paid subscribers. Last quarter was something like 1.61m paid, the number with free is close to 2m at last count. With regards to unsubscription numbers, I mean they track quarter to quarter and there's a thing (apparently) to comment why you're unsubbing including with an "Other" field where you can put whatever you want, so presumably they do track it. Whether or not they pay attention to it is another thing. For example I''d wager ROMAN WINS LOL is a pretty common unsub reason, and well... VJeff posted:It's a great value but I wonder if it hasn't started backfiring. It's hard not to argue that the way some of these PPVs are booked that they don't feel like there's an undercurrent of "eh, it only cost them 10 bucks and they'll keep the sub no matter what, we don't have to try that hard." Especially this year, especially since Mania. Payback and Extreme Rules were both at least okay, and GBoF was good. Smackdown has been pretty dire since the roster shift though, while Raw has gotten much better. Oh and MITB had the MITB match which was a good as gently caress match in an otherwise dire show.

Gonz posted:I was pleasantly surprised by the 30 minute Iron Man tag match last week at Eat Balls. That, the ambulance match, and 90% of the main made the show good. Basically the tag match and the last hour were good, and the IC Title was certainly nothing bad, it was just mediocre. BTW, looking back, I remember that Backlash was a good show, it just also had Jinder winning the title. Backlash had Shinsuke kneeing Ziggler's face off, a fun match with Corbin losing to Sami, and an AJ/KO barnburner for the US Title.

Guys I am legitimately excited for Raw. I hope the following things get set up and/or happen: -Dean/Seth v. Sheasaro -More Broken Hardy teases -BRAUN makes Roman/Joe a no contest, setting up a Fatal Four Way at Summerslam -Dixie showing up for maximum surrealism -Something for Finn to do. He should take the IC Title since Dean will be ideally teaming up with Seth -Enzo cuts an awesome promo again only to get murdered because watching Enzo sell is fun -Actually I'd also take Finn/Bray since Bray won the Seth feud If we get like three of these I'll call it a win.

Gonz posted:If Dixie Carter showing up on Raw is finally what breaks Matt Hardy, then I suppose that's OK. Yeah I know she is but if you're gonna do Trainwreck poo poo it might as well involve a backstage angle. As opposed to say your top title, SmackDown. Also I just rewatched Battleground '16 and it broke my heart because they made Dean SUCH a viable top face superstar and he'll never see that again. I blame Ziggler.

RealFoxy posted:Jon Moxley was good but Dean Ambrose was Always Bad™ it's very obvious he was getting carried hard by Reigns in the SHIELD You're dumb. In the related videos of that Kinshasa murder: https://youtu.be/ligOw6IXREI Vince and HHH are... right and good? For those who don't wanna listen neither Vince nor Trips have ever liked Dolph because he's basically a bad HBK cosplayer. The funniest thing is everyone in the comments jerking off about Dolph. Listen they waste a lot of talent. Dolph is NOT one of those people.

RealFoxy posted:I don't remember a single time post SHIELD where Ambrose hasn't looked like a goober in either his promos or his stale in-ring matches. He's like a New-Era caricature of Cactus Jack in Japan during the early/mid 90's The entirety of the build and his title reign pre-Ziggler as I've recounted probably a dozen times. Also the Rollins feud when Roman was out. Also the mini-feud with HHH. But whatever, keep fuckin' that chicken. I don't have the energy to argue against this particular brand of stupid bullshit anymore. Seriously though you are an idiot and are blaming the wrong thing here. Admittedly Ambrose isn't the style of champ WWE wants in terms of media or whatever but that's an issue with WWE, not Dean. It's literally the same thing that happened with Punk.

Let's not forget that like 40% of the podcast was Austin needling Dean about an extremely bad childhood that Dean probably didn't want to talk about and if he did it wouldn't have been PG. The whole thing being supremely awkward was largely Austin's fault. When they got to the end and had Dean cut that impromptu promo it was a lot better because shock of shocks they were discussing something that didn't piss off the interviewee and was also a thing that could easily be PG.

RealFoxy literally the only people who don't relentlessly poo poo on Ambrose at this point on this forum are me and BCH. Stop playing yourself. You're not giving some new hot take, you're literally in line with 90% of a forum that quite possibly unironically largely believes Jinder Mahal is equal to or better than Dean Ambrose in 2017. Enjoy that I guess. Also we're giving you poo poo because you're being a caricature of terrible Internet wrestling fans.

RealFoxy posted:You're the kind of fan WWE banks on to point fingers at Jinder and call him a terrorist for being brown and speaking a foregin language, that's literally the only reason I can assume you hate Jinder so much when you know drat well he's just as bland and uninspiring as Randy Orton or Dean Ambrose can be. Hahaha go gently caress yourself. Seriously, just gently caress off. Both Randy and Dean on their worst day are better than Jinder at his best and either irony has literally folded in on itself or you're honestly accusing me of being a racist in which case you are honestly just an idiot.

I apologise for making sweeping generalizations with regards to the current general standing of Dean Ambrose on this forum, I suppose the shitposts are just "louder". I amend my statement to "there is an extremely vocal contingent who actively dislike Ambrose and speak as though he is a bad wrestler which is not now nor has it ever been true.". Namaste.

:  I can almost guarantee you she doesn't or if she does it's because her husband is loving insane and can't let go (I love Bryan, I do, but the dude is insane and can't let go) and thinks his depression and frustration about not being able to wrestle edges out the "by all means get dropped on your concussion-addled, seizure giving brain some more" risk factor. I'm not saying Bryan doesn't have the agency to wrestle. I'm saying he's dumb as gently caress for doing it and I have mixed feelings at best about wanting to see it. Same with Kurt if that is actually happening. Also if they do clear Kurt Bryan has every reason to be pissed, by the way.
