I wonder if ICW is the tv-14 show.
Also, watching the reactions in the crowd of dream and black segment are funny. Especially some of the women in the crowd. Plus people Izzy age looking confused on why everyone was reacting like that.
Plus they did edit the segment a bit. Dream was in front of black when he was sitting longer than what was shown.

I mean ICW is TV-14, but Progress is to a degree as well in the sense that none of the talent is afraid to drop an f-bomb here and there.
I don't think it would be either of those though, as those are listed as options in a separate question.

It's funny for them to use "ECW" as the reference because
-The last revival is largely considered a bust
-All of the ECW originals are pretty much washed up and or dead
-It's likely it's just a comparison point and not actually for a "new ECW", but they wouldn't have the licensed music or any of the violence so what's the point? Just do NXT
It'd also either be in Full Sail or after live TV so that'd be SICK

The weird thing is that this theoretical show would kind of have to have its own roster, as seeing a performer in a TV-14 environment with no restrictions, and then seeing them a week later (or the same week) on a PG show would make the restrictions more glaring and obvious.
Hell, it was already weird for me to watch Bate and Seven be babyfaces on NXT when I'm so used to hearing Seven tell fans to go fuck themselves.

RVD knows he's washed up and doesn't have to try
He's also in peak physical condition compared to most of his former colleagues

I want them to stay far away from the edgy crap. One of the main reasons I came back was because they cleaned up the product from the Attitude era.

Attitude Era was complete trash. Agree. Mature content is a crutch.

Good edge can be ok.
Like if a performer called out people on their flaws and that's how he got heat.
Think heel Bret

Why is it that face turns always just kind of randomly happen off-camera, like a dude walks in as a babyface on some random day.

Maybe if we all subscribe, we'll own the Network

Mature content is not inherently bad. It can be a different kind of thing that is also good.
I don't think WWE would do it that way though. They would just make it "hey we heard you guys like the Attitude Era"
They could absolutely realistically happen.
WWE is not getting the number of subscribers they really want for the Network. Not enough to make the profits they thought they would. And it's clear to everyone (including them) at this point that they don't have much growth potential left. So the only option now is to squeeze more money out of the current subscriber base. And a simple price raise for everyone would only lead to a drop in subs. Adding another tier that costs more, but offers these things, is a way to increase revenue without risking subscriber drop-off. At worst, no one upgrades, but you still keep your base subscriber number. At best, a chunk of your current subs are now paying you $2-5 more per month.
They've done this same market research over and over again for months. Hell, they already have deals done with ICW and Progress. Signed, sealed, and delivered. There's no way they are not at least considering these things.

I thought Talking Shoot was cancelled
Sami's response to that isn't playing lol.

I wanna see "push me fucking officials" Sami Zayn. I wanna see dude let it loose on the mic. It's hard to think that this dude was a former NXT Champion. We see more of Bo Dallas than dude these days.

I legit laughed at the idea discussed earlier today that Jinder improved all of these things and deserved to be champ when McIntyre comes out on NXT and reminds me that he also did all of those things Jinder allegedly put work into except Drew is also like 10 times better at everything.
Dude came out looking like he should be on the cover of a cheesy romance novel.

Man, Owens ROH theme is so good. I really think he needs a new one as his current one is just butt rock.

I just saw the Jinder promo. If Nakamura doesn't beat him at Hell in a Cell then none of that was needed at all.
Even so in the times we live in now it's difficult to hear someone say that. Now I understand it's a television show but it also makes me wonder if people wouldn't be upset if another more classy show did something like that.
I'm definitely not trying to defend WWE and I totally understand why people would be offended by what Jinder said.

Absurd. He had to talk eventually. What he said was fine and six months after his debut is well enough time for him to go without speaking to give him a good aura.
Don't watch it.
WWE has a deep history of being racist and culturally insensitive. Vince donated millions to the Trump campaign and his wife is in the administration.
So, they are judged appropriately when it comes to shit like this.
I don't think that Mahal promo is leading up to Nakamura beating him because honestly Mahal's been making comments like that for weeks now. It's just that this week was the only time people caught up on it.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Nakamura hold the belt until he faces AJ for the title, loses and then that sets up a Styles/Nakamura WM match. Makes sense to have Nakamura earn the belt off of Styles given he'd not only give him his best match but it would show that he's worked hard to get the belt from the best guy in the company. Jinder's also not worked with AJ yet and out of all the main eventers on SDL, AJ's next on the list.

Oh yeah I know that. I also know that Vince is the end all be all when it comes to what is said on his show. Like I said I'm not defending them at all I know how awful they can be.

The thing I agree with Wai Ting about is Nakamura's response sounds weak. He should have just walked out and kicked him in the head.
Just think about it, Vince is so deep into his own shit with shareholders he had to make ridiculous budget cuts, I wouldn't be surprised if talent now has to bring his own toilet paper during tours, including cancelling a show like Talking Smack that cost peanuts to make. Now who in their right mind would expect them to suddenly start investing in new shows that require proper writing and dedicated tapings or even worse, start paying other companies for their video libraries. The only kind of shows that are within reach in that fantasy survey are those that require little to not effort like getting Austin and a couple more guys in need of a paycheck to record some new audio for old matches.
Even those network features, they've been promising a couple of them for more than a year now and they haven't done shit, why would they suddenly implement them just because people said they'd be interested in them in a pointless survey.

Yeah, but how's your territory doing?
Hardy Boys theme is from some music library, so anyone can license it. It's been on random commercials too, so it could have been that originally.

Finn needs to move to SD soon. At least there he'll always be in some sort of title feud instead of weak jobber matches
