  1. That's a spot on comparison. I actually would be kinda into her using the rope-assisted backflip (moonsault?) from the apron
  2. Same, I have a real cheap Hulu subscription cause my girlfriend has Spotify but I never use it. But of course, if wishes were fishes then I'd say just bring the damn channel to YouTube TV
  3. It does make sense when you put it that way.. I lost the channel when I cut the cord, and never sought it out after Desus and Mero moved to Showtime so I'm not as up on their current programming. I thought that stuff was mainly contained to their online stuff and the news show on HBO. If there's more of that crossover nowadays I could see it
  4. You'd think Hoodslam would be a natural fit. I had a feeling they were going to get into wrestling after those documentaries were so well received, but I never would've guessed it could end up being NJPW.
  5. I don't follow MMA closely but isn't Bellator owned by Viacom? Maybe they themselves would make a play and put it on MTV or CBS or Paramount?
  6. Im picturing him yelling "YOUVE NEVER BEEN TO WAR!!" at these two regular ass corporate employees
  7. I accidentally cancelled mine because someone stole my identity (though I dunno who the hell would wanna be me) so I never updated my payment info. I haven't missed it really. NXT is on USA, I don't watch the main shows so PPVs no longer interest me, and if I wanna watch old WCW I just hit up YouTube or go over to @Hoarrs site and go down the rabbit hole of clips
  8. Yea I maybe didn't articulate myself well on that one, I'm gonna take the L. I just mean that I get the feeling that the literal letters W W E aren't as identifiable in the public consciousness as W W F.
  9. The brand "WWE" really doesn't have that much going for it. Maybe because I live in the northeast US, but if anyone ever makes a jokey reference or a "hey remember that guy" they almost always say WWF.
  10. The real value in WWE is the library/Network. Whoever buys them could probably turn a small profit without even running any shows. If the goal is to actually run a wrestling promotion, Its hard to think of a reason why a company would buy and gut WWE rather than go after an ROH, Impact, MLW, or NWA, or someone of that size. Or start from scratch, like a wrestling version of Bellator.
  11. They could go backyard style and just have the crowd be the rest of the locker room
  12. I haven't watched WWE in a bit, but it's insane to me that they're still doing "cover someone in something gross" 20+ years after Austin dropped the portapotty or whatever it was, meanwhile, on TNT, we've got people stabbing each other in the eye. Tough call there.
  13. Nothing to do with anything but for a company that loves mainstream attention, it kinda blows my mind that they'd change the name of an ex NFL player like Sabbatelli or going back further Monty Brown
  14. Same. I can't consider myself a regular NJPW viewer, but I'm for sure considering signing up for this (though I do love Suzuki on the chances I do get to watch him- I think the last one I saw was the WK match vs Goto).
  15. Haaaard disagree on MJF's but good call on Havoc. Cody's theme is interesting because I don't really dig it as a song at all, but it's really great for a wrestling theme. On the one hand, it sounds like the kind of WWE brand butt rock that Dolph or Miz come out to, but on the other, that's sort of the thing that makes it sound major league if that makes sense
  16. That's a real good one. One of the few good AEW themes. Outside of Moxley, Jericho, YB and Hangman all of their themes are trash. With Emi Sakura's being just the 100% absolute worst
  17. I'm not a subscriber so I can't verify but some random man says Dave shut down the $0 thing:
  18. Man it's funny sometimes. NXT is put on TV to run against AEW, which possibly led to this earnings issue. NXT UK formed to run against WOS, which is dead. XFL formed to run against the AAF, which is dead. Its like Vince's only play is 80s style counterprogramming. Which shout out to him, worked for many years, but as noted pages ago the landscape is so different now it's apples and oranges, and now you're stuck with a D-show and a shitty football league for no apparent reason
  19. Obviously I don't want to get into this in depth because we've all been warned about political discussion, but I sort of feel the opposite in that it might be a welcome distraction for some of those currently running things. You never know.
  20. I don't disagree with any of this but your last point. The Punjabi Prison match went so far into WTF territory with the Khali lumber-in finish and the Singhs taking tons of big boy bumps that it actually veered into being fun. I recognize that's a kinda weird opinion though.
  21. Wow, I really spaced on that one, good look dude.
