You'd think both channels would want their own stars, and yet...
I watch the five hours in about 60 minutes with fast forward and I feel like I could cut that down to watching Firefly Funhouse on YouTube.
"Okay, so putting the titles on them last time didn't make them sign new contracts. BUT if we do it again, SURELY THEY'LL SIGN THIS TIME"
DDT apparently just straight up put the main event of their KBS Hall show on Youtube so if you want to see ASUKA/MAO vs. HARASHIMA/Saki Akai then you have no excuse
The Revival guys turned down even more than $2.5M over five years? I respect the desire but DAMN that's a lot of money.
Yeah, I find WWE to be much more enjoyable when you don't actually watch it.
The brand split for me died when they killed talking smack. That was a glorious time.
They could potentally make almost as much on their own outside WWE while also doing less dates.
If you are already living comfortably and you're never home anyways what is the point of taking more money to be miserable
They aren't turning down millions to make $200 a show on the indies
We're all operating under the idea that they're all but guaranteed to be signed to AEW once their contracts expire. If true, they won't be that much money, but people will generally take less money for happiness.
The branded PPVs and Talking Smack gave Smackdown a unique identity that set it apart from RAW and made it into NXT-Lite, basically. Without either I guess Smackdown is destined to become a clone show of RAW again.
They are putting effort into all of them.
Mox wasn't even looking at their contract offers past a certain point. Sasha just signed an extension so it's not like they are going to offer another one. lol
Because they know 100% that they are going to AEW, the bucks have been teasing FTR for literally years.
I'm not sure I buy all these contract rumors. It's believable for the Revival and Gallows/Anderson, but that's my limit. People acting like the whole 205 Squad is gonna walk out the door.
Anyone who leaves and achieves greater success and happiness outside of the company just gives more people the idea to do the same
If they go to AEW they would safely be the number 2 tag team, id pretty much guarantee that they'd immediately be given the titles
Current WWE is structured around the brand being the draw rather than actual stars being the focus. Wrestlemania sells out because it's Wrestlemania, no one gives a shit about the card
WWE is an untouchable monolith but the notion that people can now become big stars in the west without them is a threat to their position of power
It was always possible, just not as common. It's why Vince continually tries to fuck over anyone who became popular without his help. EC3 probably would have been a 3-time Universal champ by now if Vince made him famous.
NXT has also provided a platform that shows what a lot of talent are capable before they get called up the black hole that is the main roster and probably has generated more support/sympathy from people who wouldn't have seen or heard of them otherwise, especially a homegrown tag team like The Revival.
Revival can simultaneously make a shitton of money and love their lives while working indies, they'd be beyond dumb to take those soul eating 5 year contracts
Nice, congrats!
Yeah, that match was dope, watch it people!
Pokotan vs Doradori-kun was match of the show though.
FYI deathmatch clips are banned in our community, I'm going to have to report you
Wow definitely expected a much bigger bounce back from the worst non-holiday rating in modern history now the basketball is over
DDT Pool Wrestling show is live in a bit over 30 minutes. Wonder if the decision to air it live was made recently, as I'm fairly sure it wasn't on the live schedule the last time I looked.
It definitely was showing up as airing live at the beginning of the month.
Really looking forward to the show but can't watch it at work.
These aren't an every show thing so don't go in expecting that.
That said, the quality of the wrestling top to bottom in DDT and TJPW is solid and fun. I think it's easily the best value in streaming.
Yeah, DDT gets a lot of attention online because of their comedy stuff, but their serious wrestling is absolutely on par with New Japan, IMO.
Smackdown was mostly good like Raw. We got shorter talking segments, a good Bayley/Bliss/Nikki segment, Damandyz Donuts, Kabuki Warriors and Bryan on commentary. Only the wildcard rule is bringing things down. If they maintain this booking and pacing but rotate the rosters better they might have a solid formula going forward.
