>>16357164
but enough about that AEW video game

Christ. They can barely fill 2 hours without constant recaps, guys taking 10 minutes to get to the ring, adverts and 'let's look at the crowd signs!' Grim.

>>16357164
I hope this is fake. The sheer amount of weekly wrestling content in hours is why it's all so unwatchable to me and I can't believe they're deliberately making it worse

RAPE FOREVER

fucking finally. the more time the better, the midcard struggles with only 2 hours.
>>16357175
>recaps
barely happens
>sign segment
20 seconds of the show max, and its for gaslighting fans into bringing more signs
>10 minute entrances
agree on this
>adverts
happens no matter what, wwe has no say

RAW going back to 3 hours is good.
SmackDown going to 3 hours is going to be fucking kino

Im sick of this 2 hour shit. 3 hours is where we're at

How are they going to handle adverts on Netflix? When you cut them out the shows are 1 hour 20 minutes long or 2hours and 10 mins when they were 3 hours.

>>16357235
You'll find out in a month

I've enjoyed Raw being 2 hours.

I enjoyed it less when it was 3 hours.

slopdown got cancelled
Thank You Based Lachlan

>8 hours of WWE
I still need more

>>16357263
Great news then anon.
You can turn it off after 2 hours then. The rest of us will enjoy the 3rd.

3 hours means giovanni vinci and lyra will finally make tv

>>16357235
Nothing outside of when they place them. They might still have them for the premium subs too or maybe just less but there will be some sort of breaks no matter what. So best case itll be like the ad free Peacock feed for PPV where it's just random in house shit

The amount of RAW and Smackdown I watch each week will go from 0 to 0

>drones having nothing better to do on a Friday than watch 3 hour Slopdown
Lmaooooooo

>that one drone defending 3 hour RAW after everyone says it was better at 2
Lmao what a fucking drone

i'm happy with this overall
BUT
WWE should try to get the 7-10 timeslot on USA for smackdown, instead of 8-11. i and many others will not be able to stay for that last hour if i'm going out on a friday night.

>>16357215
We'll Vinci finally get on the show?

You don't seen to understand how TV shows work.

Rovert spamming fake news again just like those wrestling figs he puts up his bum. VDS really has rotted his mind.

>>16357427
WWE wants to be on Fridays as it makes things easier for them. You never know though. Comcast is splitting all their cable networks off into their own company soon so they might have some effect. They might need the revenue while Comcast is too big to worry.

>>16357457
BVLLvert BVLLy ya off twitter again?

You see anon.
When you flip to the channel, you watch what is presented to you. When you flip away from the channel, or perhaps in your case, turn the television off, the channel will no longer present itself to you.

how does it make it easier for them? and also what effect would comcast's decision have on WWE?

E-GODS we're eating good come January.
Then again we've always eaten good and will always eat good. Next year should be the final year of AEW before being bought out by Hunter and we're gonna see pic rel kino again.

>>16357706
>>Have to increase your output by 50%
Adding another hour to each taping doesn't have the same overhead as adding an additional two hour show would.

>>16357410
This was my first though. AEW finally got a clue and didn't have an overrun last night after doing so for months and months just for it to always hurt their final number. Stretching a show anything beyond two hours is going to fuck with its numbers. It's just too much. The fact USA chopped off the third hour of Raw is a big reason its ratings have stayed consistent. Very curious to see where Smackdown's end up

>>16357982
Yeah okay but they're still having to pay more talent and film for an extra hour.

Does SDL even have enough decent storylines to carry 3 hours? They already rely on the Bloodline carrying 45-60 minutes per episode.

>>16357410
That 3rd hour going to drop below a Milly so quickly

>>16358280
No they don't. The talent are already there. Whether they use them or leave them in catering that week they're still being paid the same

>>16358280
The production and backstage staff is massive too. And you need more people in corporate like marketing people etc. and it changes things up at the venues.

>>16358289
>Does SDL even have enough decent storylines to carry 3 hours?
It doesn't have enough to carry one hour.

>>16358289
They'll bring in new people. Look at how hard they've been going after new hires.
They're expanding the womens division on both shows with new belts so they'll prob raid NXT pretty hard for that.

fun watching drones rationalize this as being good in real time after denying it would happen all year

>>16358339
Not to mention seeing it said literally countless times over the past 10 years just how much everyone hated Raw being 3 hours. But yeah hey now it going to back to 3 and Smackdown following and doing the same is totally a good thing kek

>>16357164

Honestly I just want to know what the commercials are going to be like for Raw on netflix
Surely it can't be as bad as what we're getting now on usa and cw where 30% of the show is commercials

>>16358471
netflix makes more off ad tiers than they do regular subs. could easily see it being pretty bad.
and they freeze the app and force you to watch them

I like getting done with Raw in 2 hours but the lack of the extra hour is noticeable. All the matches just had more time and often ended up better with 3 hours.

I wish NXT would get a 3rd hour.

>>16358471
I just scrubbed some data, looks like Tuesday Night Football on Prime is the same as the rest of TV football. So I would expect about the same.

>>16358524
Won't. CW has news affiliates. Maybe they do extra shit on the app but I doubt it.
When Peacock is done, maybe they renegotiate with CW and figure out something for more content though.

>>16357485
but enough about you with your "Slopdown got cancelled/Based Lachlan" spam in every thread.

smackdown is already hurting at 2 hours, they're gonna have to make some khan-tier signings and basically pillage NXT especially for its girls

>>16359226
They've been hiring or going after basically anyone who could reasonably work there over the last 3 months

>>16359226
>and basically pillage NXT especially for its girls
I think the one big thing so many are forgetting while they're celebrating NXT right now is just how few callups actually pan out and translate well to the main roster. 2013-2015 NXT was the most kino version there was. It was overloaded with well developed and main roster ready guys. By the time everything was said and done I'd say less than half actually 'made it.' Breeze, Bo Dallas, Neville, the Ascension, KENTA, Adam Rose, Vaudevillains, Enzo and Cass, FTR, Spears, etc. So many just didn't work out on the main roster. I'd say the Black and Gold years produced even worse. The biggest "stars" of that era were Ciampa and Gargano and they've stayed struggling to carve out their spot on the main roster for years now. Long rant no one asked for cut short, you can't always bank on NXT call ups

>>16359288
bro almost the entire main roster is former nxt guys

>>16359298
Of course it is. But it's also NXT names pulled from over 10 years. Like I just listed out look at those call ups from just two or three of them that all tanked. Now think of all the people on NXT during those years who didn't even get called up. I'm not saying NXT is a failure. I'm saying that the the rate of people who do well in NXT isn't a 1:1 of how they're going to fare on the main roster. Feel like I made that pretty clear

>>16359298
No they're not. 'NXT guys' are guys who got into wrestling through NXT. Sami and KO are not 'NXT guys' Also, most of the talent in NXT now are dimeless geeks who aren't going to make a single wave on the main roster.

>>16359211
And commercials

>>16359312
See I was even considering guys like Sami, Kevin, Rollins, etc in that group of ones who did succeed. Because they technically did have the NXT run before they were called up. I do get your point and that would only further support my own if you dropped off anyone who had a name prior to coming into NXT

>>16359312
heres the list of homegrown nxt originals on main roster
>otis
>chad gable
>authors of pain
>creed brothers
>liv morgan
>bron breakker
>raquel rodriguez
>ivy nile
>braun strowman
>bianca belair
>tiffany stratton
>nia jax
>charlotte
>the street profits

and that isn't including the really young indie guys who maybe worked the indies for like a year before being signed to nxt like carmelo hayes and pretty deadly

and thats also not including dominik mysterio, who is homegrown but didn't work nxt

>>16359343
It's kind of crazy how few big men's names there are there. Strowman is the only world champion. Bron has the most potential. Gable should be both but somehow feels the farthest away from either as he's been in a long time

>>16359343
carmello started in 2014
pd started in 2015

>>16359376
Was he a prominent indie guy? Never knew that if so. If you're looking for people who have never stepped foot in a ring before altogether in order to call them homegrown then all you'll be left with are nepobabies and NIL hires

>>16359384
not really, he was just a guy who was mid forever that eventually got his shit together

>>16359202
it's the TV and streaming deals, he's too pot-committed to accept that he was wrong, so he rejects reality and substitutes it with his own

>>16359399
isn't that how serial killers start? i feel bad for anyone who lives nearby

2 hours of Smack sucks because it's 30 minutes of ads, 30 minutes of bloodline gay shit, and an hour of midcard/womeme shit.
