July Wrasslin' |OT| All this G1 talk is making me Climax.

The leaps of assumption people make about Daniel Bryan is getting old. Like, are we going to keep speculating what he will or won't do as long as he breathes? His free will dictates that his only options are to go to Japan and headbutt a bunch of people?

Literally their best show, gone

And they're supposedly desperate to have as much content as possible? Why would you cancel what is a minimum effort, maximum results show? The people who are already at SD sit at a desk backstage and talk for 20 minutes, mostly unscripted.

There's no justification for this.
 
Imagine if they scrapped all of the nonsense story they force into 205 Live and combined it with Talking Smack

Talking Smack interview segments with cruiserweight matches in between

That might be good though so ehh

Talking Smack cancellation is the best thing to happen. CM Punk's pipe bomb promo was one for the books because it came out of left field in a PG era know one thought could happen. Now these worked shoots just come out the flood gates diminishing their effect particularly when every performer gets to have a go at it. Spreading it out is for the best.

Nonsense.

We have barely had any "pipebomb" type promos on Talking Smack. Yes we have the talking shoot jokes but that's more from the unscripted nature leading people like Bryan to say a lot of borderline stuff but it's not like he's cutting a promo when he does that, he's just being honest.

There was the Miz promo, sure, but primarily Talking Smack has been lighthearted and endearing promos, the area where WWE is in dire straits right now. People like the Usos have benefited so much from having Talking Smack out there.
 
It's a Pepelican.

He does get all his images from 4chan...

I feel like Bryan can wrestle and not kill himself.

But I like Baron Corbin so what do I know?

If you asked me "do I think he could have a match today and be alright?" honestly, I'd say yes. I've been probably the biggest most vocal critic of him coming back on here, and I'd say if he came back tomorrow for #OneMoreMatch he would probably be fine

He's not coming back for one more match. He said he wants to do CMLL and New Japan regularly, including the fucking G1.

I don't know, man. I can just speak to my own feelings, not yours. I can't quantify anything from a business standpoint.

How many of the 3 mil tuning in stuck around to watch the segment?

I want what you and I like about the show to happen in front of the tv cameras. It needed to happen in front of a live audience. As it is, these promos are redundant in a time slot too many people are going to be tired to watch through.

All i know is, the promos on tv still suck and we're still watching miz and ambrose fucking fight , mid-carders are still mid-carding, and ratings are either steadily sitting sideways or declining. At face value, it looks like the show contributed nothing to changing much in grand scheme of the brand.
 
Reminder if you're paying for the Network as of tomorrow, you're telling WWE you support this decision and others they Will make (and they Will make more) like it
 
What if I just like watching wrestling

Hulu has NXT

Other wrestling services exist

There isn't anyone on 205 Live who hasn't had a better match elsewhere that is viewable on said services for (at most) the same price

You are telling them you are fine with Talking Smack being expendable. Don't act like you're not. They pay attention

I could run the FPW fed if no one else wants to. There's just a couple of things that I'd want to know before hand.

1. Are people going to be uploading their own wrestlers to the workshop so that I can add them to the fed or do I need to make them?

2. Should it be assumed that CAWs have all edit points and moves unlocked or should there be a limit?

3. Would people want commentary over the matches or just the matches themselves? If so, would anyone be willing to do it?

4. I'd probably want to open a FPW fed discord that people could join to keep tabs on things and have a place for promos. Would there be interest in that?

That's all I can think of for now. I have the time required to run it and I can stream to twitch/youtube easily. If there's anything anyone wants that I might be missing let me know.

the best option is to enlist in an Islamic Socialist militia in Syria and become a Third World Maoist.

It's the only way to be clean in this horrible world.
