Not a new shiny toy anymore

I don't even know who they have gotten that's new since her. It feels like it's only a few women getting shine recently. Hopefully they can find something for Deonna soon. But i think now it's mostly been Mariah, Mercedes, Toni, Harley, Jamie, and Julia with occasionally Willow and Stat. Losing rampage def hurt them. Hopefully they can figure things out eventually.

I don't know how true it is, but one of the comments says that they've never put any sporting event in the top 10. Only shows and movies.

That is a possibility, but a weird strategy if Max decided to do that. Just based on the simple fact that it could catch the eyes of a casual person if they saw it in the top 10.

:salute: I had no idea there was that much content on MAX.

I think they put the same thing that's on cable tv there so it's basically a simulcast. Like i was watching the hockey game on Wednesday on tnt and after went to MAX and it was on there too. I think it's the same for nba. I don't think it's like the nfl where streaming services like Amazon and netflix get exclusive access. So it's good that they have sports but not something only subscribers get.

Most people prolly watch on cable, as far as sports like nba or nhl go. So its not crazy if aew were in top 10. How many games do they show a week from nba and nhl? I think an nhl doubleheader on Wednesday and an nba one on Thursday. That's just 4. If they have nothing else on there of interest then i could see AEW being in top ten.

Yeah that's one of the only complaints I have about Max. They don't promote it enough the way Netflix does with Raw. Raw is usually plastered all over Netflix. But that's just a minor issue. I know how to find it and when to find it, so it doesn't really affect me much.

It wasn't even until this week that I started seeing them put NBA games and AEW in the carousel at the top of the main page when they were live.

Like last week they had a show that last aired episodes like a decade ago in the carousel instead of NBA or AEW. Wasn't even a show that was just added and was being watched a lot either, it was just an old HBO show they decided for some reason to push.

I don't really get what WBD is doing with Max in this regard but at least this week they decided to feature the live content front and center like it's a selling point for the service that they claim it to be.

TNT has NBA on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So NBA and NHL is 6 games a week. And the NBA games are only live, no on demand replays like with AEW and NHL.

Looking at the live schedule on the Max app, they also have that new women's basketball league called Unrivaled along with PFL.

I could be wrong but wouldn't they be among the top streamed live sports content on MAX regardless of how many people actually watch it on the platform? :pachaha: how many other live sports do they have in 2025 in the US?

They actually stream a lot of live sports on Max in the U.S. They stream NBA, NHL, tennis, golf, college basketball, soccer and MLB

WWE didn't show numbers. Netflix announced numbers that are to be taken with a grain of salt because nobody has the actual internal data, we've discussed this at length.

Also, they only released the first week and nothing since. Everything else is guessing. Also, was 2.6 million (basically the same they were doing on USA a couple years ago) really a W for the worldwide leader in wrestling.... I guess lol... :pachaha: It's wild how defensive some posters get... haha

The fact is the 650k+ on TBS and whatever they get on Max is more than enough. It's only the super stans who want to wage these ratings talks at this point..
