Since we're doing some false equivalency stuff
Netflix has over 65 million subscribers. That's a whole lot more people interested in various movies and shows on demand instead of WWE Network! LOL!

Oooh, this is interesting. From the guy writing the New Japan book's twitter, from a podcast with LOLTANAHASHIWINS:

Some, If not all OF the Revolution Pro/NJPW show WILL be on New Japan World, after RPW have an exclusivity window. Ospreay/Okada included.
My boy's going places!

But WWE said that WWE Network is Netflix only better!
I'm saying that a product whose viewers likely don't speak the language is able tp create a strong footing and grow while the WWE has never grown the audience it once had in 1998-2004.
Not to mention CrunchyRoll faces competition from other services that offer the same content (Funimation, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and others).
Where is the growth? Other than raising ticket prices at their one big event they haven't really grown.

I'm guessing that it'll have RevPro's commentary, so English commentary on New Japan World!
Also, I love the rumor that NJPW turned down WWE's offer to host NJPW material on the WWE Network.

Jolly Kane is really great, and while the New Day are getting a bit repetitive, they're still the best the WWE has to offer, by far.
Edit: Oh shit, new paige
Enhanced bust? Check.
Backwards baseball cap? Check.
Paige's transformation into Nikki Bella is almost complete. Just need a feud with Saraya where Saraya tells Paige that she wishes Paige died in her womb to bring it full circle.
KONNICHI WA! WATASHI WA BRUCE THARPE DESU!
so what you are saying is the NWA is the future?
is Netflix, Hulu etc. available in Europe ? (available as in officially, without the need of VPNs, proxys and other stuff like that)
Potential new viewers don't speak the WWE language either.
Netflix is in many European countries although the content differs depending on the region.

Why is Shane always seen as the saviour? Apparently his ideas for creative were terrible. As sad as it sounds, maybe Stephanie really is just the better option of the two.
Japanese stuff is generally superior in all mediums, if we're being serious here. I would rather deal with HK bootleg quality subtitling to watch some fuzzy quality anime than sit through Smackdown nowadays.
your telling me that you would rather watch I wanna be the strongest than Smackdown?
Because he jumped off tall things and is remembered fondly, and also he's not here, so clearly he is the answer to all problems.
I had no idea what this was until I googled it, but yes. Yes I would.
It is one of the worst show I have ever seen , it make Smackdown look like Citizen kane.
i'd watch a debate about feminism between Gaf members and Polygon before Smackdown
Renegotiate their contract with USA channel and make it so that RAW and Smackdown is an hour each starting 2016.
I spent 5+ years in an anime shop, I'm positive I've seen worse.
Someone forward this thread to USA, because I 100% agree with this idea.
there are way worse than that.
NJPW is so popular because it appeals to the hipster millennials that wouldn't watch wrestling otherwise. It's the same reason why NXT and Lucha Underground are so successful while Raw isn't. Niche culture is what dominates pop culture now, but WWE refuses to acknowledge how niche it truly is and tries to be some horrid amalgam of the NFL and SNL.
But wwe is more poplar than alll three of those promotion combination together and LOL at lucha Underground being successful.
Is that why the only reason any of us talk about them is because of how bad the programming is or how bad the ratings are?
Face it bro, underground is the new mainstream.
We talk more about wwe than all the promotion combine there are more post about Keivin owen that are post in the G1 climax thread.
And you cant be mainstream if not watch the channel you are on.
Well yeah, I wouldnt watch something if I didnt enjoy it.
well you could watch a show just because it used to be good and you have the impression it could be good again someday, you're really in the minority here
I actually think most people in this thread who comment on Monday Night do enjoy RAW and it's only a few sad sacks who watch all three hours (an eighth of your day!) yet claim to hate it.
Could it be better? Absolutely. The base wrestling in WWE has gotten to the point though where almost every match is somewhere between a bit below average to pretty damn good. There's usually one or two good skits along with about 4 or 5 bad ones.

Just you all wait until GWF Universe hits.
Universe mode, rivalries set to none at the start. One show is one show.
It'll be the best post-Raw show you can watch.

as a wrestling fan I expect bad stuff, I have a high tolerance of dumb shit. The past month of RAW is way past that point, it's beyond bad. It's 1 good skit for 14 bad ones and even the good skits are below average
actually most skits are straight up insulting my intelligence, and it's not because i'm smart. "CORPORATE Kane you're not allowed to fight rollins you hear me CORPORATE Kane?"

regardless of whatever is going on monday nights, I'm actually fairly hyped for Hell In A Cell, I think most of the card is gonna deliver save for the main event, which will still be fun. Every PPV we get to wonder what fuckery will let seth slide out with the title intact.
also lol at the soulplaya caw.

Vince McMahon thought his ideas were terrible and shot them all down. Not just creative but business decisions.
If Vince shot them down, I'm pretty sure they were decent or good. We know how one of Shane's biggest ideas worked out.

I was watching just the main event of Raws for a bit but I decided to tune in for this week's show and it was pretty good imo

Thing for many is i can just tune into the ppv on the network every month without watching for month. I get a recap on all the events just prior to x match. I dont need to see raw or smackdown each down..but wwe still get my money. This is probs also a cause of decline in ratings
Definitely not a bad show onto it's self. Problem is that it's the same fucking thing now week after week.
EDIT: even with the various special appearances, they managed to not shake anything up.

yep, raw isn't written to be must see tv plain and simple. Dunno if its to give the guys a break (they get to spend the month working with familiar faces while on the road) or what but that makes my viewing casual checking out while its airing and just catching the go home show. Though even with that excuse, and I hate to invoke the "they should make it like the attitude era", matches back then were short. Matches on raw now can be 3 segments in the first hour!

Yeah it seems they are just treading water until the Rumble for now. Wonder if football season has anything to do with it? They know they're gonna be down anyway so might as well just slow it down until the NFL passes.
What if wrestling had an off-season?
