*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

[sledger]

2 dominant heel champions is a little overkill especially when both have had long reigns (badabing).

Lashley is good but looking at the raw ratings with him as champion,, he hasn't proven he can draw money can he?

RAW has been the absolute liquid ****s for as long as I can remember. He's been basically the only good thing going for it for ages. If they want to try and shake things up and stop RAW from being dreadful then fair enough, it's just a shame that it had to come and this cost.

2 hours should be the absolute limit for weekly shows. They have gone to **** ever since they moved to 3 hour weekly shows and 4 hour and 5 hour and 6 hour PPVs.

Yeah absolutely. Two hours is perfect for a weekly wrestling show. Three hours makes it a massive slog.

3 hours should be the limit for a regular PPV, and 4 hours for a major show like Wrestlemania (lol phone tried to autocorrect to Wrestlemafia). 5-6 hour shows are dreadful. I don't want to sit through 5+ hours of anything, let alone wrestling.

 

[honestbharani]

yeah... they need to understand the wringer these athletes are being put through as well, with these long ass shows and all tne house shows and travelling in between.

 

[sledger]

Haha I daresay they understand that very well, they just don't care

Although I think I read somewhere not long ago that the average amount of time spent on wrestling each episode of RAW has barely changed since they went from 2 to 3 hours per show, which probably explains a lot re: the quality tanking

 

[honestbharani]

I still maintain new gen was grossly under rated. Those 45 min RAW and Superstars episodes were so much fun to watch.

Profit margins and the almighty dollar going into the shareholders accounts is more important to them.

Haha this Dynamite is off to a great start. Good Cole vs Frankie match, hilarious challenge by Fuego to Miro, and now MJF getting some genuine heel heat against Pillman Jr of all people

 

[Mike5181]

MJF is on some peak ECW **** right now

 

[Athlai]

I didn't really like Pillmans outfit last week as the hometown NFL Jersey is always an eye roll to me because its such low hanging fruit.
But fmd the mullet, the tiger shirt, the shoes. All of it this week was stellar. Best kind of throwback

Caught some of NXT 2.0, looked pretty good also. I like the new big guys like Bron Breakker and Von Wagner.

It is a shame there isn't a live Dynamite showing in the UK, else I'd record it and watch it in full rather than just catching clips online.

You can watch every episode live for £5 p/m on the FITE TV app/website

 

[Athlai]

Fite is the way to watch it. The picture in picture during the breaks is just more live full screen action. It was gold in the first few months when JR would just start talking not realising he was on air still

 

[Mike5181]

They didn't even increase the price when Rampage was introduced.

One to consider for when I get a job, which hopefully won't be too long from now.

 

[Athlai]

They didn't even increase the price when Hook debuted

 

[sledger]

Yeah £5 p/m is a pretty good deal tbf, as you get all their other content as well, not just AEW

 

[Shri]

new dark side of the ring episode is horrifying

 

[sledger]

I'm really looking forward to the Plane Ride from Hell episode. Reckon that'll be a real hoot
