>There are people within WWE who were “stunned” that ESPN published an article giving the company’s first-ever PLE on the platform a “C” grade. The report states that people within WWE were openly wondering why the sports and entertainment network would want the “online stigma” of a negative review for what they considered a “fairly ordinary” or “fairly standard” WWE event.Lmao Paul is a sensitive bitch and a terrible booker
>>18904634>“fairly ordinary” or “fairly standard” WWE event.thats the fucking issue
>>18904634Wasn't this their debut on ESPN where we were supposed to expect "lots of surprises"?
>>18904634Every WWE show is a C or D grade what's the problem
>>18904634Nice source
>>18904634Based ESPN indirectly telling them to get their shit together.
>>18904634Maybe they shouldn't have booked the show like dogshit. If you want to make a first impression it better be a good one.
>>18904634>“fairly ordinary” or “fairly standard” WWE event.There was nothing standard about a glorified episode of RAW. It was the first ever PLE with 4 minute ad breaks. Are we fucking serious?
>>18904634As weird as it sounds, I think it's the NFL's fault. There's a proposed deal that would give the NFL an equity stake in ESPN in exchange for their dimeless in-house media properties. Many have called into question how ESPN could possibly remain impartial while being owned by one of the leagues they cover. I wouldn't be surprised if a memo went out to be extra critical of content from media partners to try to work the regulators.
>>18904634Crazy that grade inflation is so fucking bad that a C is a "bad grade" instead of average. even before the fake coof average GPA in American high schools and colleges was higher than ever by like a significant amount, but ACT and SAT scores were the same or lower despite the SATs being made easier
>>18904634>standard event gets a standard scoreA bit esoteric, no?
>>18904634>Wrestlevotes RadioBottom of the barrel source you got there tranny.
>>18904634>alright, time to put on our first big PLE on our new network>so I want a fairly ordinary performance out of all of you!>no tryhards!
Even they admit it was ordinary. That's a C
imagine this happening to AEWwe would be on gamethread 17, over 5000+ posts, entire board shitted up, cuckposting increasing tenfold, people LARPing as sad aew fans etc etcinstead e drones are just pretending this shit never happened. If we were honest about KWABOTY, it would be this.imagine your OWN NETWORK shitting on your product.
slopaloser fucking suckedESPN was being nice giving it a C
>>18904716>Imagine if I hadn't alienated the whole IWC and made them hate AEW
>>18904634I don't get it. They said it was a fairly standard event. Average effort receives an average score. C is average. What's the big confusion? Are they retarded?
>>18904716>WHY ARENT MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT A WRESTLEVOTES MADE UP STORY!?
>>18904634>graded a "C">WWE shocked by their show being called average
>>18904716>imagine this happening to AEWI can't even fake imagine ESPN wanting AEW
>WWE now gonna try to improve their products to get that ESPN A grade like a little sister trying to impress her big brother Kek what a bunch of retarded cucks
>>18904634>shocked that it got a standard grade then say that the show was standard huh
>>18904810americans are mentally ill and think a C grade is basically failing
>>18904634>that gAyEW shill nigger>WrestleVotes
>>18904634>Wrestlevotes
>>18904810C is not a standard grade, Cletus. Maybe in your bogwater swamp hick state it is, but not in civilized society.
>>18904705>>18904739>>18904810>>18904728C is below average you fucking absolute wastes of life. People with C-level grades go on to work at Amazon or your local gas station. Or some shitty admin desk job.They're fucking failures. Below average. Glad we had this talk, Ameriburgers.
>>18904634Kek what a C grade fed
>>18905015>t.4.0 student now an adult neet
>>18904634Almost like they want a better quality product than the slop WWE is feeding them.
>>18904634This has been a horrible week for Triple K lmaooo
>>18905015I made C's in college and make 100K a year.
>Admit a C grade is the fairly standard eventLMAO what a bunch of sloppy rEtards
>>18905015>People with C-level grades go on to work at Amazon or your local gas station. Or some shitty admin desk job.In other words - average?
>>18905282Cagematch faggots gives perfect 10's to retarded shit with like one good match that any given person will remember a week later. At least this is closer to be honest.
>>18905288Just because you have a mindset of mediocrity doesn't make C level grades and shitty gas station jobs average. You're at the bottom rung and women don't even acknowledge your existence.
>>18905015Report cards used to have a guide where C was literally labeled as average. Hurt feelings over the years led to it being changed to "satisfactory" and whatnot and grades scaled up. It's similar to how butthurt wrestlers and fans got over Meltzer's 2 star ratings, which were suppose to mean average, so he inflated and now 5 star is the new 3 star or something.
that show deserved a D anyways, RAW was more compelling this week and Smackdown probably will be too
>>18904634Hunter/WWE: "We are a real sports treat us like a real sport.">ESPN: Show was bad. You get a C.">"NNOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT!!!
>>18905268Damn getting blacked pays that well huh?
>>18905452>thinks of dicks out of nowhereConsider the following: you are shoot homosexual.
>>18904641FPBP
>>18905288I went to a school that actually wasn't dogshit. Here's the real chart from a school that prepares you from a young age for careers in law, medicine, engineering etc:A = Above average/excellentB = averageC = below averageD = put the fries in the bag
>>18904773>I can't even fake imagine ESPN wanting AEW8 hours of football/baseball coverage highlight reels with analysis by old guys in luxury suit then they get to the Wrestling Block w/AEW and one of the clips is this. KEK
>>18904634I get why Paul is butthurt. But he's an idiot if he thought ESPN guys would glaze WWE. These aren't wrestling journalists. They actually have some ethics. Your product sucks. You put on a terrible debut for ESPN like you did with the Netflix debut. You're fucking terrible, dude. Worse than senile Vince. Hopefully TKO shitcans you.
>>18905574it's more funny to think triple bypass was expecting espn to give them the same leeway they do to the nfl
>WrestleVotes
Study Cagematch and get back to me
>>18904634Put out a better show, Triple Pinocchio. Fraid so
>>18904634>We're partnered with them they need to give us favourable coverage!Isn't this basically an afront to the free press?
>>18906222that's hip right now
>>18904634So the rating was accurate then.
>>18904634The singular AEW fan is melting the fuck down and using this as his safe space thread because All Out was a flop and NXT raped Dynamite again.
>>18904634Hunter Fumbled
>>1890468530 bucks too btw
>>18904689This was the first ple on ESPN C isn't acceptable
>>18904689C is a bad grade, kiddo. Get off /pw/ and crack the books if you can't at least get a B.
>>18906683C is supposed to be average. ESPN gave WWE an average score. today a "B" is an "average" grade, but nonGPA measurements have shown that despite the fact average GPA is up, kids are as retarded or are more retarded than they were 30 years ago
>>18904634Dear oh dear
>>18904634WWE is a cult
>>18904634What did they expect when partnering with espn? Espn grades real sports which can genuinely be good or bad. Wrestling is fake therefore every show needs to be marketed as "great."
>>18904634NOOOOOOOOOO
>>18904716That's because we own you.WWE makes the waves.You little faggots just ride in our wake.Now down.On your knees.You'd better fuckin hope we cum quick.
