Wrestling Thread 8: Follow The Buzzards [ARCHIVED] • Page 243

Are we still doing that?

WWE has been a multi billion name brand for over 30 years now, they produced some of the biggest stars in Hollywood (The Rock, Cena) and is a household name for decades. As much as I love AEW, it isn't even close to being as big as the WWE.

 

Probably missed the conversation on it but when does WWE move to FSN or whatever channel they’re moving to?

And was it their choice or Fox’s? Can’t imagine the E would want to move off Fox, a channel everyone gets even if you only have antenna vs a cable channel. Wonder what the numbers will look like once SD goes there.

 

SD is going to USA. FOX chose not to bid due to not receiving enough advertising revenue to recoup their costs despite WWE doing great ratings. Ratings will definitely take a hit due to it not being on broadcast television, but WWE still got a boatload of money for SD and also got a lot of money for moving NXT to CW. Rumors are that RAW move away from USA. My best guesses would be Amazon Prime or FX.

 

Why would USA want Smackdown but not Raw lol

 

Smackdown became the A show. They blew a lot of money for the one show so they may not want to spend enough for another one.

 

We get Dragon Lee on the card tonight. Sweet !

 

War Games will be sweet but it is oddly a filler show top to bottom. JD/Codyverse blowoff is the biggest thing on the show

 

I’ve been out of the loop recently, my guess no way we get Punk ?

 

Punk returns tonight!

 

Unless I’m being worked it’s not happening (maybe ever)

 

Punk being "nah"d on coming back to return as the part time top star he lamented so hard for years is a more fitting end to his career than anything they could do on tv

 

I think he should do a run in Impact and behave himself and then I think it’s much more likely he’s back on the table at WWE or AEW

 

This would be the move but idk if he would swallow his pride and do it

 

Fresh off of a brutal loss im coming in here…

 

I’ve been bored to tears with WWE lately. Punk would bring me around lol

 

Not bad for $10 lmao


This was beginning of dark matches

 

Who’s that on the preshow next to Rosenberg

 

Dude fuck yeah Yuta won the title!

 

Randy’s gonna get a huge pop

 

Either Jackie Redmond or Greg Miller

 

What is a clamdigger? Urban Dictionary has too many definitions

 

Didn’t they use to alternate teams for the entrances

 

Does Charlotte have new music? That’s good. Finally.

 

I always assumed it was the equivilent to a "scallywag". Like an old-timey insult.
