Baron Corbin posted:

"Yeah that's right, I said 'I quit' in my match against Brock Lesnar, because it takes a real man to admit when he's been bested, lest he be destroyed by his own hubris. And that's why I'm the only man who stands a chance against Brock Lesnar, this Sunday. Believe that."

"Brock you might think you're the big man for putting me in a Casket last night, but that was actually a Coffin, not like a sell-out like you would know the difference!"

This is fun, do a flag match.

This is probably just me being naive but I don't think they'll necessarily change the price for the current core Network, more likely they'll just expand the original programming for higher tiers. Even if I'm hilariously wrong, I'd barely bat an eye at $15 a month considering what you get for it.

The Network survey mentioned also potentially adding other indies like PROGRESS and stuff to the Network so that's another potential direction.

I would say "you can introduce more expensive tiers but you can't increase the basic tier or you'll piss off your base." but I'm pretty sure Amazon just slapped a loving 25% increase on to Prime, so I could be wrong.

Friends of mine have already reacted to it with "i buy enough poo poo on amazon they could up it to $250 a year and i'd still stay subbed" and i can't loving fathom ever trusting a rich person enough to say that kind of thing about their product and not expect a response of *$s in eyes* "ok"

I really wish I'd put money down on Floyd for that fight with McGregor, it was the most slam dunk free money gambling bet since I moved to Vegas 14 years ago.

Weren't the odds super in favor of Floyd anyways? Wouldn't you have made not much?

They went way down as the fight approached, started at like -1500 and got down near -400 or so

Free 20-25% return if you were able to

Simple business says that they'll start by adding a 'premium' tier that has extra stuff like maybe the ICW and PROGRESS stuff, maybe early access to new archival stuff or original content like the E&C Show, and then slowly gut the 'regular' tier until the $15 level is the primary.

...I just realised... They booked that cage match finish and RAW IS IN loving MONTREAL. It's like they don't want Roman to get over as a babyface.

*Roman demands that Brock and him compete in a Dog Agility Course match, and loses due to ref scoring*

Brock Lesnar, the judges may have said you won the T2B time trial during the final heat, but the video clearly shows you knocking over the last weave pole! Your final score should have been a 98! You're not even AKC certified! I'll see you in two weeks at The Most Biggest Hell Cell in Myanmar!

Conspiracy theory: Vince wont pull the trigger not just out of spite towards Punk, but also because Roman cant be replaced if he never takes the title

Roman is just going to destroy an increasingly bored brock and then lose to a technicality each time for the next 10 years.

It's 20% IIRC but yeah.

That said I think Amazon has more breathing room than WWE does because that free shipping is huge.

You're usually not getting free shipping for most items, it's just factored into the cost.

Not to say its a scam though, just more accurate to say you're not paying extra for two-day priority shipping.
