They already have it. They made a deal with the NFL to stream Thursday night games.

I'm amazed Cordy is posting in an OT. Usually he only shows up in PPV threads and only after the event is over and tries to get a rise out of people bitching about how shitty the PPV inevitably was.
The marks in there are easier Cordy, you won't last in here.

Oh, well there you go
I agree with most that most ppvs are mild if not horrible. Shit the reason you don't see me much is because unlike most I actually skip a great amount of Raw and SDLs lol. Since the Shakeup my viewing has considerably cutdown and besides that Raw's the better show these days. I stopped watching wrestling from 06-11 too, it's easy for me to cut it out but somehow the WWE kept thriving. That's just how they do.
And Battleground was a sin.
It was nice too because I usually only had to deal with shit posting for ppvs.
Someone future endeavor the door guy.

Amazon can do whatever they hell they want. They have AWS and Twitch, it wouldn't take them long to spin something up. And they already got the NFL rights.
Fine speech. One problem though.
We're in an entertainment thread. Talking about streaming entertainment!

Thank god. It's sort of amazing how fast they pissed away all the goodwill they built up with that first season.
-Insane gap between seasons, with no clue on if there even was going to be a second one
-A second season that was lackluster for multiple reasons
-News about their bullshit contracts get out, become hated for holding great talent hostage
-Landing on Netflix with a thud
-A third season that took a break for "reasons" (aka El Rey praying that Netflix would rekindle interest, it didn't) and is still going, and while better than season 2, still not close to the level the first season hit
The finale of Season 3 taped over a year ago, and we're still a long way away from that actually airing. I'm still watching because it's only an hour a week, but damn. I can't say I'll be too sad if it doesn't come back.
Imagine your favorite wrestler going to the WWE and losing a match to Big Cass.
Don't worry, it's coming lol.
Was it my man NeoGAF Bruce Springsteen who was the Vince Russo apologist?
Ha! Love it.
But I don't even watch anymore. >_>
Well, except for '90s matches on YouTube. >___>
So I guess Austin could maybe come back as Stunning Steve and start losing to Big C. There's always that possibility. >____>
Wait a second.
NeoGAF Bruce Springsteen?
NeoGAF... Vince McMahon?
Both....... gimmick posters?

It's kind of sad that they only way for WWE to maybe get good is if they fail.

Kind of happy Sonny isn't here to read that #5Years report, though I wish Blue was

Because the guy in charge doesn't know how to do that. And he won't go until he's either forced out or dies.

But I'm still not 100% convinced it will be better under HHH, Steph and Shane
It is ok dawg, those Hustle Loyalty and Respect pjs look legit on you, and whoever told you that having three replica title belts is not #safe was just jealous.
Now throw it in dawg
By the way the guys still totally love you letting them use your gifs.

I mean look, the only evidence we could possibly use to draw a conclusion indicates it will be. Maybe it won't, but there's at least a legit reason to have hope.
Since I still watch old YouTube matches and post in this thread, we'll call it a T.

Really, the treatment of CM Punk was the biggest indicator that yes, WWE has no idea what it's doing and hasn't for awhile.

Is that indication NXT because I think you can argue it's not nearly close to being what it was 2-3 years ago. I know the brand split didn't help, but it's still pretty shaky right now IMO.

Bruh you just mad that AJ Lee refused to hug you and you got so pissed you went home and started booking her against Cena in your e-fed.

IMO, recently they've finally recovered. I would put the past two months of NXT (basically everything since Takeover Chicago) up against any era of NXT. Opinions of course, but even then, you have to say it's always been better than Raw and SD. Even the worst of NXT at least makes sense and books long-term stories.

This is fair. Is this due to HHH being hands off from the writers? I still think WWE needs to bring in different, non WWE tenured, trainers to change things up a bit.
It is ironic to me that WWE used the term best for business so much flippantly because they have proven , like in the matter you mention and others that they do not do what is best for business and let personal whims get in the way far too often.

I think it's just because HHH isn't the micromanager that Vince is. He trusts his team and his performers to make things work.
Because Juice Robinson is awesome and a future IWGP Champ
Or, they truly believe what they do IS best for business, and those midgets like CM Punk and Daniel Bryan that just a few fans cheer for (at every show) aren't real stars. Roman Reigns is best for business. It's decided and that's that.
It's like... Trump doesn't think what he's doing is evil. Vince probably operates the same way. He's not wrong, we're wrong.

Need more Marty Madness.
I wasn't mad...I was hurt.
I thought she and I had a real connection.
She still beats Cena 3 out of every 5 yo.
Reigns is great in the ring and he's not bad but he'd be a lot better had they let him do what he wants to do. You can tell he's pigeonholed like a lot of others. I still remember that clip of him during the Sheamus feud standing on the ladder where the camera cut away late and dude looked depressed saying the shit that he said. The Styles feud might have been his best feud thus far but that's mostly because he didn't say shit and it was against Styles. Just going in and beating dudes up.
Not many people have freedom. Lesnar, Cena, shit surprisingly 3 brothas like the New Day have more freedom than it seems Roman has. I'm not mad at that tho.
As she should, as she should.
