Support NeoGAF

Viewership has been disappointing on Netflix apparently too, so

At least I was right to laugh at everyone who said they were just waiting for legit opportunities to watch the show. Full month after the easiest one people will have in this modern age They Wanted of streaming services, and oh look, still not watching.

A big reason why folks follow wrestling is being part of the hype. There's no incentive to catch up because a ton of the folks who were pushing people to watch it during season 1 (myself included) just don't care that much about it anymore.

Edit: Top of the page, finally an excuse to post this Marty gif.

They wanted to watch it while it had momentum. Now that LU is all but dead and the stars scattered to the winds, what incentive is there to support it now?

This feels to me like saying why watch WCW? It sucked and died

But it didn't all suck, especially in the beginning and middle.

You miss out on a Lot of good stuff in life if you're only hoping for a full and completely good experience. Barely anything will even have a happy ending, doesn't mean it's not worth seeing the beginning at least

That's a disingenuous comparison since WCW was widely available on basic cable and LU was not. People didn't even know if they had El Rey or not, and if they didn't then they were out of luck.

Still not on Netflix in the UK.

I think you missed my edit which had the Actual Point so

i don't think people really care enough about non-live wrestling content

There was a hilarious, pregnant pause between the question and Jesse's answer. Delightful.

Vince McMahon is reportedly interested in giving Jeff a main event singles run sooner than later. Vince has mentioned doing feuds with Jeff vs. Finn Balor and Jeff vs. current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar.

If the negotiations with Anthem over the Broken gimmick fall through Matt will be jobbing to Bo Dallas for the rest of his WWE career

I can easily see Jeff getting a mega push. Hopefully they could send Matt to Smackdown or something because the Broken Gimmick can still be used for something.

Oh dear. Jeff's gonna be taking a german suplex through a ladder, isn't he?

And again, people wanted to see LU while it was still hot. People wanted to show support for something that they saw as a great alternative to WWE and TNA. But since there was no reliable and affordable way to watch it, support went down. Wrestling by and large isn't about catching up after it ends, it's watching it live while it's hot. Sure you have weirdos like Zach who go back and watch archives, but the majority of any wrestling audience is going to watch it as soon as it airs. And Lucha Underground was unable to assist with that.

So yes, it's *finally* on a reliable and affordable streaming service now, but it's too little too late at this point.

BTW is it weird there is no Braun Strowman merch?

Like zero. No Monster Among Men shirt. Nada

Did I just will that into existence?

That literally got added since i made that post... I looked for Braun merch right before I posted and there was nothing...

Great shirt and Monster Among Us is better for a shirt than Among Men

[BewareTheBatsie]

Brock vs Jeff?!

When Braun looks corny as fuck wearing a shirt with his face on it next week we can blame you. j/k

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Brock vs Jeff?!

I can't believe it's been 15 years since this happened. Feels old, man.

 

[imBask]

Did Vince write that himself

 

[Tom Nook]

It's OK. I was hoping "I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!" on it.

It's definitely on my list of shirts to get when I have money again and they do another crazy sale.

BTW Strowman might be the only guy who benefits from buzzword nick names.

The visual representation A Mountain of A Man on the back of that shirt is pretty rad

 

[Man God]

...Is that the rarest form of the WWE shirt? Awful front great back?!?

 

[imBask]

holy shit I just saw that Balor Club t-shirt

WHY DID THEY PUT GARBAGE ON THE BACK WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[sf2fanatic]

Perfectly executed..



*stands up and 👏👏

 

[Menome]

🤔

Is 'Rest' the name for a specific brand of steroids?

 

[RecRoulette]

holy shit I just saw that Balor Club t-shirt

This is how I feel with almost every decent WWE shirt.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

It's kind of ridiculous how WWE have so many shirts that would be perfect if it wasn't for some dumb shit on the back of it.

You're a walking advertisement when you put on their shirts, they can't have a shirt that people don't know what to look for.

And then there's Miz's shirt

Which is just .... wtf

At least they're selling the Hello! I'm Awesome shirt as part of the retro deal. That's a good enough shirt.

 

[Menome]

If I were to buy a WWE t-shirt, I'd be protected against bad back-designs via my tendency to wear shirts over the top like it's still the 90s.

 

[Caderfix]

Jeff is going to squash Brock. One Twist of Fate and one Swanton Bomb, clean.
