Big Fresh Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Saw Bix retweet this: http://www.thewrap.com/warner-bros-in-talks-to-acquire-entire-wwe-library-exclusive/ This can't be real, can it? How would that even work unless they bought the whole company? WWE would air programming live, but can never reuse that footage again because it immediately belongs to Warner Brothers? Would they have to stop releasing DVD's too? I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Saw Bix retweet this: http://www.thewrap.com/warner-bros-in-talks-to-acquire-entire-wwe-library-exclusive/ This can't be real, can it? Probably not. For one thing, the network is already profitable due to the other budget cuts they made. For another, Warner Bros. owned a wrestling library and sold it for peanuts.

mattdangerously Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 There is no way they're giving up on the Network this early. And even with the revenue generated by selling the tape library, wouldn't the loss of such an important asset severely devalue the company? This story sounds like a lot of horseshit.

The Nature Boy Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Read the article guys: An insider with knowledge of Cinedigm's WWE contract told TheWrap there is no end date as of yet, but the company is transitioning away from the library. As one of the comments notes, this is just Warner Bros. acquiring distribution rights and the company in question is Cinedigm (which currently distributes WWE videos). It makes no sense for WWE to transition away from their own library. And FUCK, the idea of WCW's parent company distributing WWE videos is just weird.

This makes 1000 times more sense, poorly worded title, and yeah WWE will never sell their library they could have 1 subscriber total on the Network and they still wouldn't sell it.

Dre013 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 NXT was ok...4 man was entertaining, but there are no stars among these guys. Changing Kenta's name? Most embarrassing TNA-esque moment of night. Enzo and Cass have a camera following them while hunting for Marcus Louis, then announce they need to drag him to the ring to show his baldness to the "world". Uh, you have a camera following you. Live crowd responded by sitting on their hands when they dragged him to the ring. Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'm thinking about finally picking up some PWG shows. The thing I do like about the promotion is that it's one of the more inexpensive indies to follow due to ten shows a year. I do not like their shipping cost, but that's a minor gripe. What is a good starting point at this point without spending too much to catch up? I was thinking of just either starting with the March or May show.

John Austin Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'd just star with th DDT4 show, start off with a fun tag tournament. If you have a problem with their shipping, you could always use Highspots, they're an official distributor of PWG shows too and iirc reasonable shipping.

If you only want to pick between those two, I'd go for the May show (Sold Our Soul for Rock n Roll). The March show was Mystery Vortex II, which is what they name their shows when shit gets all changed up due to injuries, etc, and they don't even announce a card. To me, MV2 ended up being a mixed bag and there was no intrigue in the main event because you knew they weren't putting the belt on Candice LeRae. If you want to go back a little further, last year's TEN might be a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each set is a triple disk collection of the best of PWG history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like those kids weren't gonna see a stabbing within a few years anyways. Also, KENTA changed his name in tribute to Hideo Nomo? (Kidding). Although a Hideo Nomo tribute would have a finish where you go into Nomo's pitching motion and then just punch the guy like Kerry Von Erich. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
