2024 Pro Wrestling Thread

Great shit with New Day and Imperium. New Day hasn't had a heated rivalry like this since their epics with the Usos.

 

Yeah, why not at least tease it and have R-Truth mess it up, or something.

 

If Big E cashed in on a limping Lashley for his belt, it just makes sense.

 

Seeing Gable suplex these behemoths is always crazy.

But then Gable getting goofed out by Valhalla's voice (?) was a stupid ending.

 

Some great bars spit between Punk and Cody. Love that they essentially switched images.

 

Priest and Drew had no business being the main event for a PLE week show. Truth shenanigans aren't enough. And Priest looks like even more of an idiot.

Should've just stretched the promo battle out until the finale -- unless they were worried about timing in case either Cody or Punk went too far off the script.

 

I thought it was a prettt good match and if Punk’s not getting physical your options are limited.

Maybe closing with some women’s Rumble hype would’ve been smarter in this case

 

Wasn't expecting this one. I have Netflix, so it's not an issue right now, but I've never seen them handle live TV before.

I guess it also guarantees Raw stays on Mondays (if that's what WWE wants), because they wouldn't be bound to any time slot on Netflix.

Netflix to become new home of WWE Raw beginning 2025

 

Biggest concern for me is the fast foward and the starting late and catching up. Its a disaster on Peacock most of the time.

How many people are actually tuned in live from
8-11 as opposed to DVR on some level?

 

Also there’s the Rock getting a seat on the TKO Board and working in his press release

> Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, said: “My grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, and my dad, Rocky ‘Soulman’ Johnson, would’ve never thought this day would come. Which is why I’m very humbled to have a seat at the table that has decades of history and family legacy for me. A table that my family helped to build.

 

Well that sucks. Don't have Netflix already, don't particularly want to add it. Might wind up being time for a vacation from WWE when this kicks in.

 

More with WWE TV: SmackDown is moving to Tuesdays when it shifts to USA in October.

Will be curious to see where NXT on CW ends up. Give it the SD slot on Friday? Thursday as the lone unopposed wrestling TV day?
