>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

thats the fucking issue
>>
>>18904634
Wasn't this their debut on ESPN where we were supposed to expect "lots of surprises"?
>>
>>18904634
Every WWE show is a C or D grade what's the problem
>>
>>18904634
Nice source
>>
>>18904634
Based ESPN indirectly telling them to get their shit together.
>>
>>18904634
Maybe they shouldn't have booked the show like dogshit. If you want to make a first impression it better be a good one.
>>

>“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?
>>
>>18904634
As 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.

>>18904634
Crazy 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

A bit esoteric, no?

>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 AEW

we would be on gamethread 17, over 5000+ posts, entire board shitted up, cuckposting increasing tenfold, people LARPing as sad aew fans etc etc


instead 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 sucked
ESPN was being nice giving it a C
>>
>>18904716
>Imagine if I hadn't alienated the whole IWC and made them hate AEW
>>
>>18904634
I 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

>WWE now gonna try to improve their products to get that ESPN A grade like a little sister trying to impress her big brother

C is not a standard grade, Cletus. Maybe in your bogwater swamp hick state it is, but not in civilized society.

C 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.

In other words - average?
>>
>>18905282
Cagematch 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.
>>
>>18905288
Just 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.
>>
>>18905015
Report 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
>>
>>18904634
Hunter/WWE: "We are a real sports treat us like a real sport."

I 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/excellent
B = average
C = below average
D = put the fries in the bag

8 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
>>
>>18904634
I 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.

it's more funny to think triple bypass was expecting espn to give them the same leeway they do to the nfl

Study Cagematch and get back to me

Put out a better show, Triple Pinocchio. Fraid so

Isn't this basically an afront to the free press?
>>
>>18906222
that's hip right now
>>
>>18904634
So the rating was accurate then.
>>
>>18904634
The 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.

This was the first ple on ESPN C isn't acceptable
>>
>>18904689
C is a bad grade, kiddo. Get off /pw/ and crack the books if you can't at least get a B.
>>
>>18906683
C 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
>>
>>18904634
Dear oh dear
>>
>>18904634
WWE is a cult
>>
>>18904634
What 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."
>>
>>18904634
NOOOOOOOOOO
>>
>>18904716
That'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.
