Shoot i do remember them playing the one about Rock and Cody and how that got setup, think there was a Mania 40 documentary, and Priest one. Maybe even an Undertaker one too. They would play those along with the Rumble in Indy and the Minnesota show for next year, think summerslam. Every PLE seemed to have a video package on all of those things.

In regards to their own they should, tho not sure how that's looked lately. Seems like they always got ads for the upcoming events or a new documentary they got coming out. I understand the outside companies tho. I wonder what the breakdown between outsiders and in house ads will be at mania.
Gotcha :myman:, They can definitely turn down some of the WWE created ads.

Do wrestlers still get paid a lot more if they appear on WM vs. not appearing on WM? :jbhmm: I remember when they used to say it was the "biggest payday of the year"

Guessing that may have stopped years ago once guaranteed contracts became normal. Pure speculation, but guessing it's mostly the guaranteed money plus percentage of merch sales. Doubt the majority of the roster is seeing a percentage of the gate (if any).

WWE philosophy is basically you don’t get anything extra until the revenue you produce exceeds the value of your contract, unless otherwise negotiated. Which makes sense, to be fair. Like if someone is making $2 million but they can’t generate $2 million in revenue then why should they be paid more?

i feel like the midcard titles haven't been what they expected it to be at least for the IC title. now i hear Lyra and Bayley going after the tag titles. Not like those are any better either. You got a bunch of solo stars being thrown together to try and build up challengers for a tag division and nothing for the IC belt. Not really many true womens tag teams tho so that makes it worse.

You gotta be a truly devoted fan if you sitting there watching every hour of the preshow. Don't know how much of a preview each match needs. Looks like they filled the card enough where hopefully its not a long break between each match. Don't remember how it went for elimination chamber, think i watched on delay anyways. But they can def cut down on some of the commercials. Don't know what their requirements are tho. I know it be cool if they did it like Dynasty where they gave a small preview video between matches to setup the next one instead of a lot of commercials.
I hate the champ and the "number 1" contender decide to put that aside to chase the tag belts angles. Instead of building bayley and Lyra straight up they are mixing them in with the tag champs only to ultimately fall into Lyra vs Bayley. Why. Just build the feud straight up and do something different with the tag champs

Feels like they owed it to Liv and Bayley to get them both on the card. So you have this match and kill two birds with one stone type shyt

Cody's promo last night should tell you who HHH wants as the faces of the WWE. Cody tries to act like he understands the black community, then couldn't even name one black wrestler when naming people carrying the company.

It’s because of Liv breh, they want to reward her for her good work this past year.

They couldn't have found another angle to get Liv on the show?
Liv deserves to be rewarded I'm fine with that. I just don't like the angle that is being used. Doesn't help the IC belt or the Tag belts. It's a two day show they could do some different things.

Liv vs Lyra could’ve been a decent match for the IC title

This feud is the equivalent of killing two birds with one stone.

They don’t want to rush the IC title feud so they gonna have most likely Bayley turn at Mania to continue the feud.

And they are using Liv and Raquel in a tag match as a crutch. For Liv and Raquel, they don’t have any babyface tag team that’s over enough to compete with them at Mania.
