Except you can't judge whether a PPV is going to be worth it in advance. They used to cost like 40 dollars.

Remember when WCW used to show clips of the PPV on Nitro?
Now all WWE shows, if anything, is still images. And I feel like they barely even show any import to the previous PPVs other than mentioning results on commentary. Makes it feel as if none of it matters.

It looks like NXT will be doing a taping at the end of February at UCF's CFE Arena. The setup can seat around 1700 people.

Cause none of it does matter. Nothing matters
I can pretty much guess which ppvs are going to be worth it.
Bless you, Data West.

I cancelled my Network subscription like a month ago. I might renew for the Rumble but I don't know yet.
I can't wait for everyone to be rocking Big Show or Archibald Peck avatars agaiN!
not really.
I'm training for a tournament so who knows how late I will be.
Do it at 8 and I'll watch the replay on youtube
edit oh wait its on friday?
nevermind that will be perfect
I originally intended to come back to wrestling in January, but yeah that didn't happen. The Rumble doesn't seem to have much must-see stuff other than the Rumble match itself and that hasn't exactly been delivering for years. The only other match that could be good is Cena verse Styles.
Go back to your igloo you filthy canadian

In all honesty, I don't think there's very many PPVs that WWE has shown this year that were so bad they had nothing enjoyable on them at all. Roadblock 2 was probably the worst one of the year, but they ran TLC in the same month which had a couple of fun matches.
I mean, if you took all the posts here at face value, WWE's existence *really* rustles peoples' jimmies, but I don't buy it.

Guys, what if during the rumble this theme hits?
And no I totally didn't just have this track enter my mind for the first time in years mere minutes ago and thought "before I carry on Yakuza 0 I'm going to quickly detour to wrasslegaf and subject them to this"

Ineligible, if I'm not mistaken? Seph?
Also, Aiii - that's an awesome Danson gif. He has great potential to follow in the footsteps of our beloved Guy Fieri.
That is amazing.
Correct, previous winners are ineligible.
Watch The Good Place, trust me.
For me the problem is that I was watching maybe one, max two matches per PPV, and even then I barely cared. That's not good enough, esp. when you start to do two of them a month.
I never thought I'd say this
but man I love watching Lashley's promos. I honestly think he is the easiest wrestler to get behind in TNA. His character is confident but has earned every bit of it. He comes off as a hard-worker but still maintains the heel role by acting above everyone else. Not because he's arrogant but because he's proven he's above it.

You've got a good point, which is why I'm still not sure if I actually will renew my subscription.
my problem is more with the fact that the tolerance is incredibly high for wrestling, probably the highest of any media or sports
I don't know any other show who can afford to be that bad for so long with so little to offer and still have so many people give them money

Just got home and checked out ddt universe and the site is down. :/
Either they've had a massive uptake or their infrastructure is not great.

The bigger problem is that the internet wrestling community is incredibly toxic and gets off on being as negative as possible while bizarrely continuing to consume the product. It's either disingenuous or the wrestling community is full of intellectually bankrupt folks.
If I actively don't like a thing and want to argue its been bad for "so long" I don't consume that product or watch it. I stopped enjoying Walking Dead several seasons ago. I stopped watching it or participating in threads about it. I pulled out my Wii U to play Twilight Princess HD the other day and it had a millimeter of dust on it because I never played it. That doesn't mean I spent a bunch of time in the Wii U threads on gaming side buying every game and complaining they sucked. I just stopped playing it or thinking about it.
Despite how many people claim to like wrestling and hate WWE in particular, there's a pretty scant amount of actual discussion about the alternatives to that particular promotion.

I'm doing my part by not giving them anything they want/need. Taking advantage of free trials they beg lapsed subs to take only benefits them if it results in paid subs after they expire, and post-Trump, they're not getting that from me.
I plan on subbing to competitors including 1 or 2 PivotShare services and DDT Universe in February, also doing monthly donations to ACLU, the Trevor Project, and Planned Parenthood. Fuck Trump and fuck HHH
They need to bring back Taste of Tenille.
If it's anything like Lana on Total Divas, very annoying with a highly entertaining Rusev not giving a fuck about her drama.

Brock's winning the Rumble. Goldberg wins the title at Roadblock.
That Mania program is going last and for the title.

There's quite a bit of NJPW discussion.

I mean, I don't know who "they" is given that I think it was Emma's personal project.
UUDD isn't run by WWE either, they just gave it exposure after Xavier turned it into a success on his own.
Correction: there's quite a bit of NJPW discussion when Wrestle Kingdom or G1 happens. Bootay by himself doesn't really count.

They do a little bit of cross-promotion with it, but they don't actively involve themselves or manage it because UUDD's product inherently revolves around using other IPs and doing streams of games is already a bit dicey from a legal standpoint. Xavier doing it for himself (while WWE takes a little of the credit they don't deserve) is a lot less complicated than WWE doing it actively as cross-promotion for themselves.
