Talking Smack has been cancelled as weekly series

[Brad Piff]

He's talked about how he likes the format and being part of the show. I don't think he's pissed but not having Talking Smack is even less motivation for him to stay in WWE

I think mentally he's already checked out lol

Only way he'll stay when his contracts ends is if wwe clears him to wrestle otherwise he's walking for sure.

No one has mentioned it but does TalkingSmack air live or record at 10pm after SD and then air at 11pm after 205. Just wanted to now if there were any issues with travel because they had to do this extra bit.

I think it's taped before.

Yeah it's recorded right after SD goes off the air and during 205 Live. If you listen you can hear Cruiserweight theme music playing in the arena during most of the shows. So yeah it hasn't been live since right before 205 Live debuted.

I also always felt that Talking Smack was SD's so called 3rd hour even tho it usually only lasts 20-30mins. It was sort of a way to let SD keep up with Raw for showcasing their stars.

At least it will be live again after ppvs.

To you.


Won't debate you on your opinion on that as I was speaking for myself.

talking smack made a cat like him interesting to me because his loner smug jerk feel gained some authenticity in a looser structured environment which is the point of a show like that.

There's no character to him. Nothing that makes him LOOK extraordinary. Just a guy who wears jeans who considers himself a loner and a jerk. There's no appeal to him. His crowd reactions are modest at best. I sincerely doubt there will ever be a day that people line up to buy tickets or a PPV to see Corbin in the main event.

It's still early though. He and the writers have time to develop him more. But if they hotshot the title on him he will fail miserably like Swagger did. And Swagger actually had a character that drew heat when he was MITB winner.

So... they didn't tell Renee directly?

Same as finding out you been traded on Twitter

The main imputus for getting the Network will always be the PPVs, NXT, and the archives (probably in that order), but I wonder how long that will be enough for most subscribers. That same 9.99 you pay for the network can get you access to any number of video streaming services that cover a broader range of material. The shows they've been most likely to cancel are the ones that expand their content beyond stuff in the ring, and that's bizarre. They're making their product less desirable.

They kicked Renee of TD too, but yeah, she's so far and away the best reporter in WWE, it's actually funny. She's a natural and a wrestling fan at that

Damn. So at this point, the only things keeping her there are her husband, her friends, and the fact that she just loves wrestling.

Or maybe she really does love her job despite all the bull shyt? Idk, but it does suck to see a talented person so underutilized.

not enough people watched...maybe they would watch

IF IT WASN'T AFTER 205 LIVE

[MenacingMonk]

E gonna E

 

[cartierhoe]

If we're being honest WWE is beneath Renees skills as a host and interviewer, if it ever got too shytty for her there she could easily get a job at somewhere legit like HBO or ESPN.

Guys really love messing up a good thing lol

 

[Bob Loblaw]

They are idiots

I guess they feel the ppvs and the library is enough to keep people subscribed

I feel they need more original content tho

That was a good show

They gotta build up the library with some B shows if they want that to keep people

Me I'm cancelling after summer slam I swear

 

[R=G]

Everybody talking bout it was a good show.. it wasn't SUPPOSED to be GOOD :wthwtf:

You're right, BP
