Contrary to reports, Talking Smack was not canceled due to a lack of viewers.

The WWE Network show, popular among fans for its organic nature, was canceled by Vince McMahon.

McMahon, whose appearances at weekly WWE television shows is becoming increasingly irregular, was at TVs this past week. Sources close to the situation reported that McMahon was unhappy with the show and strongly believed it did not serve the company’s best interests.

Y'all notice how ever since Smackdown outdrew Raw when both brands were in Chicago the WWE has made damn sure that doesn't happen again by putting Smackdown in smaller cities.

Deep down you know it bothers Vince that Smackdown receives critical acclaim and Raw gets slammed online.

Despite reports of Talking Smack being cancelled due to low viewership, according to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, the reason for the weekly format coming to an end was due to Vince McMahon. The unscripted style of the show played a part as Vince was not pleased with the show and felt it wasn't best for the company's interests.

While still very connected to his TV shows, Vince has been reportedly less physically present at TVs, as of late. He was present last week and made the decision to cut the weekly format, and, per McMahon, eventually end it altogether.

Two of the show's hosts, Daniel Bryan and Renee Young, were apparently unaware of the abrupt change, each sounding off on Twitter. On Friday, WWE put out a statement saying:

"We continuously review WWE Network's programming line-up based on a variety of factors, including viewership and subscriber research. Talking Smack and Raw Talk will air following pay-per-view events, and Tuesday will continue to feature 205 Live."

Same reason Vince prolly dropped Austin's podcast from the network. Can't have fans thinking who should get pushed/guys who are starting to get over get a little steam. The shyt is supposed to be unscripted lol let guys sink or swim on there own.

Told you shyt had nothing to do with ratings and all about Vince not being able to control something. That's it. It's always about that. Makes me miss wcw even more because legit competition would force him to let something work when it works

The line of thinking that a Daniel Bryan show, the biggest star in the company, being canceled was a smart idea is the definition of counter productive thinking. This move here is a symbol of the predictable nature of the era.

The comments are telling

So it was as we expected - Vince can't allow fun and/or spontaneity.

What a fukking joke. fukk you, Vince.

Vince found out a show was getting over by itself and cancelled it's push.

Out of touch Vince doesn't like Talking Smack format, even though the format is the reason fans love it. /insincere shocked face

yet wrestlers/talent are encouraged to take a chance. more BS like the brass ring and we listen to our fans garbage they spew.

had it not been for Talking Smack and that infamous unscripted promo, The Miz would not have revitalized his career.



They are encouraged to take a chance, however that requires to be one of the chosen ones the company likes and supports and even then the chances you take will depend on the mood Vince is in.

If you're not a favorite of the management, don't even bother taking whatever chances, because you will be promptly slapped like the dog you are.

One of the best things ever on the Network was Austin's LIVE reaction to Vince saying Cesaro doesn't connect with fans for being Swiss. The look of disgust and frustration was amazing.

I see on other boards that I frequent that a lot of people are canceling their subscriptions. I know Vince loves publicity in other venues so I'm sure he'll be ecstatic to know that People Magazine picked up on the TS cancelation:
