Raw is going to Netflix for 5 billi

I thought Amazon was gonna win but I'm not mad at this at all

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

There's plenty of times they don't use Monday Night in the phrasing. I think you are looking into it way too much.

Maybe...

But look at the difference between the Smackdown and RAW press releases from TKO. They specifically call it Friday night Smackdown, but RAW is just "WWE Raw".

Again, maybe it's nothing. At this point we don't know. I don't think the phrasing is accidental though. Netflix at the very least maybe wants to keep its options open.

They're never going to go back to 2 hours because of the ad revenue they'd lose out on.

Get ready for Smackdown to get bumped up to 3 hours, people are really gonna complain even more

Yeah I agree. I'm not saying it can't or won't happen but I don't see a reason for them to change 30 years of precedent now.

Not sure if this has been brought up, but Netflix has a termination clause that allows them to cancel after 5 years in addition to potentially extending it another decade.

I can see paying for nba nfl even ufc but not wrestling

I just explained why. I don't even know why you threw UFC in there because it's nowhere near the popularity and flexibility of WWE

Does USA have any reason to exist now?

Is 3 hour Raw dead?


Will this get them out of 3 hour Raw programs since they aren't feeding network commercials and ad revenue? Forced break ads aren't the same.

They'll most likely have their own ad breaks like they already do with ppvs

Don't be surprised to see more segments like this

He's probably on the Netflix chopping block. No more writing him blank checks for shytty movies.

 

[BlackAchilles]

I’m old enough to remember when people were laughing at the concept of WWE Network in 2012.

When WWE does something, the rest of the entertainment industry usually follows suit.

The irony of mainstream media's snobbishness is that it's always been a bellwether and a trendsetter in mass media entertainment
