I think what happened was WWE went to Sky and said they wanted to do a TV channel, and Sky told them no. Then WWE said "Alright, we'll just launch it like everywhere else and completely cannabalize your business by showing PPVs for cheap. And this month it's free!" Then Sky panicked and caved in.

If I wanted Sky to watch wrestling, I'd have done it already for Raw ffs

Layla isn't pregnant.

I hope not.

 

[Marvel]

I hope not.

Same, what with cuts maybe coming soon...

 

[Data West]

So how come you guys aren't talking about Renee Young's racist Halloween costume?

I'm an optimist/hopeless romantic; but I believe that I have a chance to legit hook up with her.

What was it?

i think i mentioned it in passing a few days back

it was p. disappointing

"The Lucha Underground television show produced roughly 8,000 viewers for El Rey Network on Wednesday."

Most watched show ever on El Rey.

who even said that?

It's a show exclusive to one provider on a channel almost no one has heard of. I feel like you're pulling a gaming side move and making shit up. At least I would hope no one seriously thought WWE would consider this competition.

Yeah no rational human being could think that. You'd have to be completely out of touch to...

So, do you guys see any scenario where Vince actually starts worrying about Lucha Underground eating into his marketshare? What would have to happen for this to take place?

Oh wait.

You know, I don't see why WWE shouldn't make an agreement with Sky so they could have their network On Demand for Skyboxes. Because we all know that once the network does indeed launch over here, it'll be heavily lacking in content.

Also, I found my new favourite Vince gif.

1. One person =/= people

2. He didn't bring up LU being competition as an eventuality. It was a hypothetical question

 

[21st century cowboy]

So I'm not going to see Rusev win his first title either! Even worse.

 

[somedevil]

Don't worry. I expect a DQ finish.

 

[Macho Madness]

If they do a DQ finish, there's literally no reason for them to do this.

Why would anyone bother the next time they did it?

True but WWE has been having problems with logic for awhile now. It will be weird for them to do a title change.

 

[Anth0ny]

Oh fuck me. I have a terrible feeling this Raw is going to be an abortion.

We are going to hear the word "FREE" more than we heard "9.99" that first week.

Updated Wrestlemania 31 poster:

Immediately wondered why Brock, the champion, isn't at the front of the poster.

Then remembered WWE.

Spoiler

I'm home sick so I'll stream Raw in the background while playing Driveclub. Should help me vomit up some more of this mucus hopefully.

 

[Xater]

I'll just continue my now months long trend of just listening to Review a RAW instead of watching it.

 

[Marvel]

Actually I'm getting Brian Blessed vibes from Bray in that poster. 2jolly

 

[Mr. Luchador]

"Brian's alive!?"

I wish the time between the UK and the US changing the clocks was longer, I miss the good week where I don't have to stay up as late to watch Raw. I probably should just go to bed.

 

[Nerdkiller]

If only he'd swap voice boxes, he'd be my fave.

 

[Marvel]

"Brian's alive!?"

*BOOMING LAUGHTER*

 

[Macho Madness]

This was the old poster by the way:

Cheesy fucking smiling shithead Roman Reigns. Much better on the current.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

i think i'll skip raw tonight

 

[Masquerader]

Updated Wrestlemania 31 poster:

Sheesh

Imagine someone who doesn't care about wrestling seeing that poster. It'd look mighty confusing to them.

 

[Nerdkiller]

*BOOMING LAUGHTER*

"DIIIIIIVE!"

 

[sf2fanatic]

This was the old poster by the way:

So only 2 1/2 of them are actually wrestling right now

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Oh they switched Big E for Mark Henry too! Crafty swines. I wonder if Kofi Kingston will be next.

 

[Vylash]

After Raw? Guess putting title matches on the network is a way of getting subs.

yes! it's time

RUSEV HIT, RUSEV CRUSH

 

[Marvel]

Oh they switched Big E for Mark Henry too! Crafty swines. I wonder if Kofi Kingston will be next.

And then after Kofi, Rusev.

 

[Alucard]

Truly, the best choice you'll make all day. Or DVR it and just fast forward to the stuff you actually care about.

[Alucard]

Fucking lol. After the FIRST episode people in here were talking about how long it takes until WWE takes it seriously as a threat. 8K. More people watch WWE Countdown.

Hey man, I was just asking if you see any scenario where the WWE takes it seriously. Was just wondering, and I had no clue about how many people actually get/watch El Rey at that time. Seems much smaller time than I thought given the numbers that have come out, but it's cool that it's the most popular show ever on El Rey.

I put the question out there because I really enjoyed the first episode and would like to see Vince get a little scared again. Doesn't seem like Lucha Underground is going to be the show/promotion to do that. At least, not as long as it stays on such a niche network.

 

[bigspud]

But that only works if you have / can get Sky. That way it's just another walled-off Murdoch service.

 

[Alucard]

Not a bad idea considering I won't actually get to see Rusev and Sheamus on the main show. Smart idea to make a match like that a Network exclusive, though.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

I'm sure everyone far and wide are getting their $9.99 ready so they can watch She Mouse and the Russian Muffin Man duke it out for a jobber title.

Come on, brehs.

[Data West]

I hope Rusev gets bro kicked and just gets up pissed off and kicks Sheamus's fucking head in

[Mr. Luchador]

That's probably the most naturally exciting match tonight too, simply due to what the title is and who's trying to win it. :\ I don't understand wrestling anymore, it just makes me frustrated.

 

[RP912]

smh

PHASE 4

its not like people are missing anything

it'll just be a DQ finish

Sounds like you understand wrestling just fine.

 

[strobogo]

Booker is the ONLY reason for the pre show to exist. Also, he licks his lips so god damn much.

 

[RP912]

if wwe was smart with TRYING to market the network...they would have bonus matches after raw exclusive to the network. Hell even dark matches which technically is superstars.

LL Booker T

Ladies Love Booker T

 

[MC Safety]

I may have asked this already, but Alexander Rusev started out with two names and from Bulgaria. To make him more evil, they dropped a name and made him from Russia.

What if the WWE wanted to make Rusev more evil?

Would they change his hometown to Iran or maybe Hell?

Rus, from the Soviet Union.
