I wonder, especially given that Raw replays on Mun2 and the Hulu Plus deal, if WWE would have access to all of their shows to reair basically immediately, or what kind of delay there would be. I'm also kind of assuming, that just not to split the audience, while the network wouldn't go dead during national airings of Raw, SmackDown, and Main Event, they'd also probably program light. So my guess would be, as far as prime time goes... Monday 7:30-8:00 - 30 minute Raw preview 8-11:15 - Reruns 11:15-12:15 - Talking Dead-esque show for Raw Tuesday 8:00-9:00 - Talking Raw repeat 9:00-9:30 - Legends House 9:30-10:00 - Total Divas repeats Wednesday 9:00-10:00 - NXT Thursday I think this is the night that you run your bigger documentaries for the first time, or show highly anticipated older events. Even if you don't see Impact as competition, you still probably fuck with them if you can. Then, I think Sundays are dedicated to PPVs. If you're airing lower-level PPVs on the network, you can do an expanded preview, a post-show, etc. I honestly expect very little first-run programming, beyond things that are cheap to make like recap shows. Lots of reruns, lots of stuff you already have in the can that the audience might not have seen. I also tend to think that, if it is a pay channel, you won't see infomercials.

http://offthetoprope.libsyn.com/episode-38...er-to-dismember Mike and Rex kick the week off talking about this past weekend's Fantasy Draft, which you can listen to right here. After that, it's talk about Chris Hero, ROH's production issues, Raw, Handicap Matches galore, a great ending that looks like it might get ignored, and more. Then, it's Impact talk, particularly about 27 minutes of wrestling in a two hour show. After the break, it's the show that killed ECW as it's own brand, December to Dismember! Week three in our month of bad wrestling brings us a very long opener, a bunch of seven minute matches, and a main event that brought TNA chants. We name our MVPs and LVPs, and then, afterwards, it's on to the end of the month of bad wrestling with Armageddon 2004.

I'll first off state that it's a wrestler that would be pointless to cast, but I'm constantly struck at how much Michael Bennett looks like Aaron Paul since he cut his hair.

Listen Here: http://offthetoprope.libsyn.com/the-off-th...e-fantasy-draft It was truly a historic ruling that changed the face of wrestling. Shortly after the Supreme Court ruled that wrestlers were in fact employees, and not, as WWE and every wrestling company had argued, independent contractors, the WWE shuttered it's doors. TNA, ROH, and many international companies followed. It was as if wrestling, seemingly overnight, had fallen. In steps Mike, Rex, Chad, and Sean. Each with their own silent financial backer, they have entered into an agreement into the spirit of competition, to hold a draft to build their rosters for wrestling's new war. We are joined by Sean of Cageside Seats and Chad of Where the Big Boys Play (which we borrowed the concept from), the Brad and Chad Show, and Place to be Nation. We each drafted 43 roster spots. 35 wrestlers, at least 5 of which must be female. A Head of Creative, a PBP, and a Color Commentator. Then we have five wild card spots, which could be additional wrestlers, managers, on-air authorities, or other personalities. The results can be seen in a Google Spreadsheet right here. Please let us know by voting and commentating who you think won the draft, and stay tuned for an update of the companies using TEW 13, coming soon. The poll is here.

Mike here, living in the midwest. I've been watching off-and-on since about 91, mostly on with a few periods where I gave it up. I've always been more of a WCW guy, but as a youngster very much devoured any wrestling I could find on TV. I watch way too much right now, probably the most since I was a lonely teenager, but a lot of it's watched for my podcast, which in time I'll pimp.

SmokeDZA did a wrestling themed EP for WrestleMania this year called Ringside. All the samples are wrestling themes, and drops are included. It's a little short, but worth listening to. Link's in the pic.
