Ugh, another current WWE annoyance:
Put star in the ring and have them talk over still images

Jarrett said that he wasn't with TNA when Hernandez was edited out. Says that he couldn't appear on camera. This is a different situation.
Jarrett thinks it would further damage their brand if they edit stuff out. Says they've made tremendous strides since Anthem took control.
lmfaooooooooooo
The company that once sent Sunny a boneless ham as a sympathy gift after Candido died is worried about looking bad for not enabling a domestic abuser they gave their world title to.

You know what else damages your brand? Having all your TV for a month centered around an alleged abuser.

Hmm, Matt Hardy throwing a "like" into the Paige/ADR cluster
Yikes, where is Mad Ox these days, anyhow? Last I remember, he locked his Twitter down.

Regular/Cable TV is a dying business Hulu and Netflix has these guys shook. The WWE Network was a smart move on Vince's part. I give regular TV #5years before it dies.
I doubt it, no one watches it.

JR says Medusa will be on the MYC commentary team with he and Lita.
That's one aspect of this where I'm glad they have a month and a half to clean it up.

Traditional delivery of cable over coax or dish is not going anywhere as long as local sports contracts exist. The most likely scenario is a move into delivery of TV via IP like Sling or Vue.

I'm going to listen to the podcast later, but it seems like they know what they're talking about to some extent, I'm not too fearful.

Should WWE go with a free add version of the Network? Hell it's probbaly unrealistic to think that. If anything 5 bucks with adds, and 10 without. But they need more moneys and different ways to get it.
And even if it was free, how many more people would sign up?
Twice the amount?

Bit that would raise the price and no one is going to pay more for raw.
Half the reason people watch raw is because it comes with Thier cable package
Zack, you can now go back on the Network and do a nostalgia run of WWECW. They've added at least the first 140 or so.
Well then you will get MORE ads.
But this is WWE's 2006 version of ECW. The show that sucked till it became the CM Punk and John Morrison Power Hour.

Hulu gets away with ads on their paid service since the beginning. If they want revenue I bet wrestling fans would put up with ads just being added to The Network. Add another tier with no ads $12.99. I think they have peaked with how many subscribers they are gonna get for now unless the popularity of Wrestling/WWE goes up with more people(mainstream) rather than milking the same fans.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Ads on wrestling aren't worth enough for them to switch to that model, I think.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
A year ago or so, there would be ads on the network before you could watch anything..even old shit.
That's the thing. Even free with ads, how many more fans could they get?
Yeah maybe some still watch because they have USA by chance, but wouldn't go out of their way for anything else.

I remember them doing a test run with ads but honestly sometimes I don't know what is an ad on a WWE show or just a sponsor add in so they can set up the ring, etc. Id be down for a higher tier that let me watch House Shows.

Man, I'm gonna try so hard to avoid MYC spoilers, but I know eventually something is going to mess it up for me.
It happens.
Spoilers are going to be all over the place starting tonight with the final nxt taping going into Brooklyn.

I'm fine with NXT spoilers for the most part. But a big part of my enjoyment of a tournament is in the mystery. And I just know it's gonna be spoiled by someone just randomly blasting it out here, or by Meltzer saying it at some point in the next month because Meltzer actively dislikes people not wanting him to spoil things. lol

Kick out at 2.9, Seph.
Even you are welcome in Fire Pro World, even if it's the XBLA abomination.
That Kairi is a Pretty Mean Sister, Lita!
Did you go? How many went?
