THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

How should AEW respond
TK ego is going to fuck it up instead of taking notes and putting on an entertaining. He's going to put on the cirque de soleil flip fest.

TK if you are listening don't put Kenny against Osprey or Kenny vs Ricochet save and build the story. You need Kenny to come announce his return to wrestling and immediately MJF interrupts him

Next have Swerve and Hobbs vs Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin.

Have Hobbs turn on Swerve and out of no where hace Wardlow return to both join the Hurt Business

Osprey vs Adam Copeland

Young Bucks vs Private Party

During Mercedes celebration Mina comes out to demand a rematch. During their interaction Mariah May comes out and stares at all of Mercedes belts and cuts a promo. Lights go out and umyou expect Julia Hart but instead you surprise the crowd with Athena on AEW.

I need a Toni Storm vs Anna Jay match

Finish the night with Moxley vs Orange Cassidy (For the AEW Diehards)

International audiences didn't cut to commercials. They showed the live feed while US audiences had commercial breaks.

Because Netflix in the US still needs to generate ad revenue. I pay extra for every subscription i have just not to have ads but those are for taped shows & movies but live content they have to show ads to make some of that 5 billy back they paid to WWE.
 
I watched most of the show, and it was a solid program. The legacy performers felt just a little out of place (I love Taker, but dude just making a drive by sorta felt weird...), but it was nice for a night where everyone was showing up.

Faces ruled the night, but it was a decent arrangement for getting people on board with the Netflix Era. Seth and Punk closing things out helped cement the gray-area "Monster Island" type environment I keep saying they are starting to foster.

Was the guy sitting next to Topanga the dude who played Cory's older brother on Boy Meets World?

All the celebrity shoutouts and they didn't even mention buddy.

And it seemed like Macaulay Culkin got one of the loudest pops of the night :lol:

I'm rewatching Raw from the beginning and I honestly don't think the ads are that bad.

If they could make one change, I'd love it if they treat these shows like PPVs and only cut away to ads in-between matches.

With the show on Netflix, there is no reason to cut away in the middle of a match to show commercials.

Commercials were more spaced out, they weren't cutting to them every ten minutes.

Yeah, the ads were fine. I mean 30 years of ads you're kind of used to it, by now. The problem I had with the ads is that they would go back and wouldn't show highlights of what was missed. Solo would be kicking Romans ass, but then back from commercial and now Solo is on his back. I am like: 'THE FCUK DID I MISS?!?!?!' Extremely miniscule when concerning ads.

I too thought it had a PPV feel (finishing it up now) I REALLY could have done without Hogan, Taker (even though he just rode around the ring) and the Rock. I am SUPER biased against those three so that isn't a real complaint. The REAL complaint and this is the only issue I have with them moving to Netflix is Netflix's interface. It was EXTREMELY difficult to find RAW. Saw all the reminders, but couldn't just play it. When they had football games on Christmas those came right up and let you play them even when they weren't on yet. It was such a hassle that I would rather download it to my PLEX server than watch it live

Last night was all about love. Can't wait to see the turns. The Rock hugging Cody like that, 100% a setup. When Rocky put the ulafafalafa on Roman then while Roman was in the middle of the ring, the camera was on Rock giving him the, "i'm about to fuck up your life", look.
