    They seem to be doing something with Ali soon with that video package that they aired twice so far. I'm guessing Andrade has been away since his mother and an aunt (i think?) passed away recently.

    That was the worst SDL since it became SDL.

    The no wrestling during commercials thing is odd. I'm not against it persay because it forces the wwe to have more variety in their tv matches... but everything can't be 2 out 3 falls can it?

    There has to be a better way of doing this. Like...maybe have less commercial breaks?

    Don’t think that will go well with the network or sponsors.

    they could literally just say "the competitors will go to their corners to get their bearings for a moment while we go to a commercial break". it would be dumb but it would he less dumb than doubling the amount of pins the losing guy has to eat every show. would make PPV matches feel more "high stakes" because there is no resting period and it's one fall to a finish.

    but again the obvious answer is no one cares that they miss two minutes of a chin lock during commercials no reason to change it

    The change is weird. Is there really any pivotal moves that we miss at home during commercials? It’s always rest holds.

    That said, all combat sports have breaks in the action and like cam said, it wouldn’t be hard to say “both guys to their corners to regroup.”

    it could be a fun format to play with too. have a heel get a cheap shot in right before the resting period so the face is fired up after the break, etc

    really i could get down with it more if there was a timer counting down to break, almost like a round but more elastic. a heel escaping a finisher and bailing to the floor with seconds to spare so he's guaranteed a chance to rest could be fun. needs to be workshopped

    Honestly sounds like something that would work in AEW really well, with their more sports/stats driven approach.

    If anything, there should be more commercials, I always forget what time "The Radkes" comes on, I need that reminder

    Likewise, someone survives a submission hold to make it to the commercial break. Im fine with a more UFC style timing in TV matches if that's what they want...it might actually be fresh.

    Keeping the exact same format and making a ton of 2-out-of-3 falls matches and elimination tags is just inanity.

    i completely agree. honestly a ten minute time limit on matches that aren't the main event would accomplish the same goal just as well while also protecting finishes for PPVs and feud longevity

    what ever happened to when they would announce that a main event would proceed with no commercial interruption? just do that and thank Snickers for it or something

    How about for longer matches just show commercials on a split screen like soccer does from time to time while the match continues on? Its not like every match is long enough to warrant commercials anyways.

    That's the thing though, from time to time, they do that on SDL

    American commercials baffle me. I have no idea how you guys can sit through that amount of them.

    Holy shit they do this when they show football in America????
