NintendoLogic Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Speaking of taking talents to South Beach, we can all agree now that LeBron is the GOAT, right? After all, how many In-Season Tournaments did Jordan win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted December 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Worst thing is that considering the big damn motivation for the mid-season tournament was 500k, Jordan would be all over that shit. Pippen, even more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 I want the Vegas odds on which one out of Punk or Seth gets butt-hurt over a promo first. As much as Punk is probably being fueled by pettiness right now, I don't believe for a second Thin Skin Phil won't make an appearance at some point.

El-P Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Looking from afar, CM Punk in WWE has been dirge of creativity thus far. "I'm CM Punk, I'm home, I love WWE" / "What WWE Brand is CM Punk gonna choose ?" / "I'm CM Punk, I'm choosing the WWE RAW Brand and I am entering the Royal Rumble". Next step : CM Punk points at sign. This has been so compelling. Also, Mania is in for yet another year without women main-eventing. The Becky vs Rousey (and Charlotte too) match was 4 years ago now. Then there was the pandemic, then Sasha & Bianca had this incredible match (fun to think too that only 2 out of the 5 people involved in the main events are still in WWE currently, that tells a story right here of how the scene has been shaken up in the last few years, as it very, VERY seldom happened, gotta go back to Angle main eventing in 2003 and gone by 2006). I know last year there was some talk about how Charlotte vs Ripley deserved a main event spot, but this year I don't see how anyone is getting even close to that main event spot with Punk showing up. Which is, you know, a bit ironic when you think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's actually pretty fucking dope, specially when HBK realized she was strong as fuck and could slam almost everyone in the company. 13 hours ago, sek69 said: Rhea had an easier time getting Piper Niven up for the riptide, it boggled my mind how Maxxine managed to make i it look so bad. She just mistimed every thing. Niven is more experienced, she knows "when" and "how" to cooperate. Maxxine, well, just doesn't. She may not even have like 5 matches total. Â Â Now, Ivy Nile vs Rhea? That's my shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMJ Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 Question: With USA now going to be the home of SmackDown and no longer airing Raw, does anyone see a scenario where Raw goes back to 2 hours? I only ask because - from a quality control perspective - it would be a great thing. Also, in terms of viewership/ratings, one would think it would boost the number because averaging the number of viewers of 2 hours of TV would almost always be better than averaging the number of viewers of 3 hours of TV (especially as IIRC Raw ratings tend to drop as they go into hour 3 unless there's a major match or angle being promoted). But - at the same time - I'm guessing that most any cable network that would want Raw is probably going to prefer to just give them the whole 8-11 block. We've seen that with TBS/TNT and AEW as Warner Bros. Discovery seems 100% comfortable airing AEW shows back-to-back even when the ratings don't seem all that great. The same is probably true for Amazon and Netflix, as their whole thing is about "engagement" and subscriptions, and not traditional ratings - so they don't care if its 2 hours or 3 hours or 9 hours as long as your subscription stays renewed. (For example, Netflix still wins if you subscribe for Raw, learn that you hate it after 5 minutes, never watch it again, but find that you love Bridgerton and Stranger Things and stay subscribed for those shows.) The only scenario I could see is if Raw somehow does end up on a genuine network and the network wants to pair it with another program. For example, CBS doing something like Big Brother at 8 PM as a lead-in to Raw from 9-11.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Raw was only 3 hours because USA wanted that extra hour to pad their ratings, I can easily see it going back to 2 hours on another network. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirEdger Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 From what's been circulating around today, Punk is looking to work more with NXT in the future and possibly succeed to Shawn Michaels when it's all said and done. Took pictures with some talents and was giving feedback after matches as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
