Kelsey Grammar wasn’t exactly a good choice for Beast either, but people seemed to love that casting choice for whatever reason.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s all of the currently alive *main* female heroes, is it not?

Endgame and Infinity War were written and shot before Ragnarok even released, weren’t they?

WWE still did bikini photo shoots as recently as a few years ago.

I'm sure he promised Jericho and delivered on that, as well. There's a piece up on Bleacher Report about AEW, and towards the end of it, Cody says there's wrestlers outside of the office positions/EVPs who have health insurance in their contracts.

TEW is so much more fun than EWR, though.

All of the Arrowverse shows, including Batwoman, except for Black Lightning.

So what you're saying is that in a few months, WWE will refund the fines after everyone forgets about this?

I guess I'm just gonna have to agree to disagree here, because I don't agree with any of that. They have a streaming platform. It's called Bleacher Report Live. Not everyone and everything needs an OTT app, and there are tons of sources that say it's going to lead to a collapse in that eventually too, just like traditional TV before it. People cut their cords to get away from cable bills, and got things like Netflix and Hulu, and now the content providers on those apps are making their own apps to combat the original apps because they want a bigger piece of the pie. An adjustment in the price for their shows on BRL would do wonders, but there's absolutely no need for an AEW Network. And, also, no, I don't know that AEW will try and do whatever you're thinking about with PWG and other indies. Just because WWE has relationships with various indies like Progress and Evolve to maybe provide future original wrestling programming and host their libraries, doesn't mean AEW would do the same for these much, much smaller promotions. We're getting way ahead of ourselves with all of this anyway - it took WWE years and years to even get to the point where the Network was a possibility. All of these other promotions with streaming apps didn't even start it until they had a decent little library of their own shows and content to offer to subscribers.

We're spoiled and conditioned to expect events for a small amount of money now, in addition to a library of content for said price. For all the talk about people wanting AEW to be different, it sure seems like the majority want them to follow in WWE's footsteps and have their own network (and every other indie promotion in existence). @LoneWolf&Subs I'm sure Super Dragon will have opinions on letting Highspots and Excalibur lease out PWG content to a theoretical AEW streaming service. And I'm sure WarnerMedia would love it if AEW just created their own content provider, rendering their deal with Bleacher Report Live completely useless.

I'm willing to bet one of the sponsors was Snickers, since a bunch of posters on Twitter and Reddit had a little campaign going - even got a response from Snickers.

Hopefully it's better than Bandersnatch.

That’s $50 on top of the subscription for BR Live isn’t it?

Variety says it’s a prime time TV deal, so I think a shitty timeslot is out of the question as well.

Random thought, but ECW had some pretty god awful referees.

Family Feud without Steve Harvey, to me, would just feel weird. So I’m glad he’s still hosting that. But I hate his talk show and I’ve never seen the other show you mentioned, so I don’t care about that.

So where do we talk about Disney acquiring full control of Hulu?

Besides Cap, Natasha was the only original Avenger who really gave a shit in the 5 years between Infinity War and Endgame. Thor was getting drunk watching Korg play Fortnite, Banner locked himself in a lab for 18 months at some point, Tony just gave up everything and moved to the woods and Clint lost his entire family and went fucking crazy. Natasha formed a pseudo Avengers team with Rocket, Captain Marvel, Okoye and War Machine to keep some kind of order since the original Avengers team broke up (again). Cap was helping ordinary citizens cope and “move on”. I don’t see how Natasha was unlikeable, is what I’m saying. She was pretty much the heart of the movie up until she died (and after, too - since she’s the reason the soul stone was given to Clint. I’m still not convinced a Clint sacrifice would garner them the stone), since she pushed for all of this to even happen, especially in the first 20ish minutes, it was borderline desperation to redeem the situation they wound up in.

Hey, more Lars Sullivan stuff, courtesy of Bryan Alvarez

WWE/Lars Sullivan issued a statement to random wrestling websites like WrestlingInc and other D-level sites. It's... uh, short and to the point?

I'll admit I miss elaborate set-ups for PPVs (not just WCW). They're supposedly bringing pyro back if the initial rally in January is anything to go by, and they're leaning pretty heavy into the Vegas theme for Double Or Nothing, so... I don't think it's too far fetched to say the stage won't just be two video screens a ramp or something.

Let's have AEW be its own thing instead of a WCW nostalgia tribute act.

Marvel officially released what Bucky, Shuri, Falcon and Doctor Strange were doing in those 5 years that they were snapped.

Fuse is still around? Holy shit. The only thing I really remember about Fuse was watching Uranium when I was in high school.
