wwe has:>ads on tables>ads on the mat>ads on the ropes>ads on the ring posts>ads on the barricades>mini pop up ads on screen>ads from michael cole on commentary>every match is “sponsored” by cricket>plus regular commercial breaksand now netflix will play ads mid-raw..what is the limit? will wwe even have wrestling in the next 5 years or will the whole show be an ad?
aew bad
>>19107665How else will netflix pay for productions?
>>19107665wwe in 5 years:>WELCOME…TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW!!! Brought to you by Cricket Wireless in partnership with Boost Mobile!>Michael Cole here along with the AI Michelin Man, coming to you live from the State Farm™ Arena!!>We’ll be back after this message*10 minutes of Netflix ads*>WELCOME BACK TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW brought to you by Cricket Wireless. In a moment we’ll have the “Built Ford Tough”® moment of the week as Seth rollins speaks! Oh! here he is!*titantron lights up with an Allstate ad**seths music hits*>ALLSTATE IT DOWN!!!…>”seth rollins has come here to RAW to say one thing…”>”YOURE NOT YOU WHEN YOURE HUNGRY!! SNICKERRRS!!! HA-HAAA!!”>wow!! what a shocking announcement from Rollins! Raw continues after this*15 minute netflix ad break*
>>19107698e drones wont admit it but we’re closer to this than you’d think.
>>19107665Have they thought about putting ads on ads?
Ads on gas pumps was my breaking point with this shit in general.
>>19107698if i hear “allstate it down” i will know God has abandoned us.
>>19107665Wow, it's like a TV show
>>19107707it already is that pretty much. i dont get how americans can watch this shit.
>>19107716But sometimes those gas pump TVs play music and you get to see a sistah twerking at circle k at 2am on a saturday
Why do AEWtists pretend that WWE is the only show on TV with commercials? And why are they so enraged by sponsors on the mat when every combat sport has sponsors on the mat? WWE shows have no more ads on the mat than New Japan.
>>19107720Yeah, remember in Breaking Bad when Walt climbed the Fireball ladder to get the pizza off his roof? Iconic. I especially loved when the narrator told us that this moment was brought to us by Men's Warehouse.
>>19107665Kek those segments they show in the international stream during US ads are some of the only appearances some wrestlers get for weeks
>>19107732wwe has far more ads than the average tv show. more than most sports, even.this thread isnt to compare to others anyway. its to point out how chaotic the ad overload is becoming…theyre legit running out of space to spam ads
>>19107736They cut to commercial on Breaking Bad just as often as WWE does. And every sport on TV has sponsors during the broadcast. NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC all have the same amount of sponsors as WWE.
>>19107746People are acting like the fact that they say "Brought to you by Minute Maid" before a match means that WWE is ruined. Bonkers to care about this so much.
>>19107748i watched breaking bad on netflix and i watch football aka soccer. so yeah i never see ads or commentators shilling
>>19107665Are all wrestling fans illiterate? Why do you waste your time crying over words you can't even read?
>>19107698grim.nobody can even deny its where we are headed.
>>19107686They are. I'd rather watch ads than aew
>>19107698e drones will still insist this is better than aew, which yes, will still be around and pulling the same 400-700k theyve always gotten
>>19107698Absolutely think the AI mascots on commentary is inevitable
>>19107824>downplaying your own success and retconning the milly era to own the e godssad
>>19107665i bought a VPN specifically so i wouldn't have to watch ads on WWE showsi'm out of $30 KWAB
>>19107698wwe will have AI mascots on commentary for sure. Glad cenas retiring. dont wanna hear ronald mcdonald or geico gecko say “the end of an era, thank you cena!”

>>19107907Why are we pretending sponsors are a bad thing? I remember a few years ago, the AEW cult was bragging about all the big named sponsors they were getting. The whole demo shit is based on getting better sponsors with a higher demo.
>>19107907soulless.
>>19107698unironically sounds based>allstate it downwould pop me
>>19107665If you dont use every possible ad blocker you have yourself to blameSure it shouldnt be like this but it isSame how pancakes at ihop are 5 cellulose
>>19107890I for one welcome our ai commentary teamGive it up for Jerry the king lawler and Andrew Jackson
TWISTED TEA KEEP IT TWISTEHHHHHHH YEAHHHHH
STATEFARM IT DOWNNNNNOHHHHHHHWOAHHHHHH OHHHHH
Tonight's main event will see LA Knight vs Jey Uso vs CM Punk in the NO FLEX ZONE
>>19107665Why would anyone outside of USA not just pirate this shit unless they already have Netflix? I'm not paying full price when I can't watch 95% of the shows live
BROUGHT TO YOU BY CRICKET!FOR WHEN YOU'RE POOR BUT NOT A NIGGER WHO USES BOOST MOBILE
STATEFARM IT DOWNOOOOOOOOOWAAAAAAHAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOWAAAAAHAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOO
>>19107665Anyone who watched UFC after the Fertitas sold it knew this was coming. (((They))) will suck the soul out of everything for even the most miniscule of profits
>>19107665This post brought to you by our sponsor.
>>19107716yeah for sure, when they won't even let you pump your gas without seeing a damn ad for pimple cream or some shit, they're really stretching people's tolerance. >>19107758it's a shitload more than just that. they've always had sponsors but it's gotten out of hand. When the sponsors invade every moment of the show, it's too much. I shouldn't even have to tell you that.
>>19107907don't forget cinnamon toast crunch kek
STATEFARM IT DOWNHOOOO WAAOOHHHHH HOOO
>>19107732But they have more ads on everything else. TKO might as well get sponsorships for individual wrestlers and have ads sewn into their gear. Being TKO, you're not allowed to get your own sponsors because then they don't get to exploit the talent.
>>19107748I hope you're being paid to be retarded. The only company that rivals WWE for ads is NASCAR.
>>19107665there will be ads on the back of all WWE shirts soon. So you not only get a Seth Rollins tee, but it's also a Tabasco or Slim Jim tee as well. Maybe some sort of prescription medication, the options are limitless! More bang for your buck when you think about it too really. Basically 2 shirts in 1 baby! YEAH
>>19108160I legit stopped watching UFC after the Reebok deal.
>>19107698that'll be the case by the end of 2026
when my pirated stream has an EU feed it is kinda cool desu, but like even without the commercials you can tell when the show is on break
>>19108283Who would sponsor any of the talent?>Seth and Becky sponsored by Versace cuz they're gay and dead.>Bayley sponsored by paper bags?>all the black wrestlers sponsored by KFC.>all the Japanese wrestlers sponsored by Lafufus because TKO don't want to pay for the rights to actual Labubus.>all the Mexicans sponsored by ICE.The kind for your drinks stupids keep up.>CM Punk sponsored by Pepsi and condoms because he's already a walking ad for Pepsi and he needs condoms to not spread Cora Chlamydia farther than Roxy.>and speaking Roxy... Plan B.That's all got anything else?
>>19108353El Grande Americano should get a Starbucks sponsorship and play it off like he doesn't know why.
>>19108293They did this before. You had to pay extra for a Brock Lesnar tee with the Jimmy John's logo on it.
>>19108370Oh i got another one.>the Wyatts sponsored by Spirit Halloween.
>>19107686Both are shit
Reminder that they literally taped $300 "electrical infetterence" machines to the ring posts for a match and then told you to go buy the things.
>>19107665>what is the limit?"We have our work to do there. We know we have a lot or room there because Vince McMahon was primarily pricing tickets for families and wasn’t totally focused on maxing the opportunity there."“there are no shortage of countries…that want to see us bring our show to town.” He said they will continue to maximize those opportunities with both in-kind deals (goods & services) but that the “most important to me is cash. Cash kills.”
>>19107692>How else will netflix pay for productions?The original cope was "the sub increase alone with make it profitable!"
>retards itt defending this ad increase nonsenseWWE fans are nothing but Disney adults now.
>>19107665ahahahaha wrestling fans are sick little guinea pigs for their masters
embarassing thread for the droneswhy cant you idiots just agree this is advertisement sloppa overload
>>19107698>AI Michelin Manlmao
>>19108486Im not defending shit. You just can't read. All this is saying is europoors get ads now too. Who cares?
>>19108500>turn on the show an hour in and watch from the beginning>not an ad to be seenSorry you are too retarded to have figured this out on your own
>>19107698grim.
>>19107665There's literally nothing wrong with ads
>>19108522The AEW cult used to brag about being sponsored by shit like cracker barrel and the yakuza game. Now it's bad because they can use it for their anti-WWE narrative. Just keep reminding yourself that 99% of the smark crybaby shit that you see here is just bitter bad faith shit from the same 3 posters
>>19108537weren't they sponsored by dominos one time?
>>19108537can e drones understand nuance?those aew partnerships were one time things they worked into the shows. wwe is spamming ads like a torrent of shit spewing everywhere in their programming.
>>19108616they're pigs, there's no point trying to reason with them
>>19108503>Im not defending shit.You just self identified as one of the defending tards
>>19108750kek edrones are so fucking stupid holy shit
yet another thread thats got the dronies OINKING
>>19107777The quads of doom. Ay dios mio
>>19108462The ultimate endgoal is running the first sporting/entertainment event in Gaza or whatever the jew name for it will be once Israel has finished clearing it out.
>>19107665kwab
>>19107698e drones….our response?
>>19107698>Seth comes out dressed in a flamboyant crop top, whose pattern is actually an amalgamation of all the sponsors>his skinny jeans have a giant SLIM JIM logo plastered along each leg>his platformer shoes have a Fireball ad>as he walks to the ring he stops by a plant who's holding up a Statefarm sign and he points to it while doing his signature laugh
>>19107698fuck man thats bleak. thank god aew is around
>>19107665Man, if I watched WWE I'd be upset.
>>19107665ads on the theme songs
One thing I'd be okay with is the Slim Jim table if it didn't look like such shit. It should be a full table not just the logo on black.
The slim jim table is brought to you by Castrol GTX
>>19107698Dude. They were already doing this during 3-hour Raws. Someone even posted a webm timelapsing a match that didn't start 20 MINUTES after the first entrance
>>19107698not too far from raw rn and i say that as a actual e drone
>>19107824>this is better than aew, which yesAgreed
>>19107698e bros…is it time for a hard look in the mirror?are we really like this?
What the fuck is wrong with the obese faggot in this thread defending WWE?He is in every thread defending WWE and brings up AEW every second fucking post.What the fuck is wrong with this faggot?
>>19111389im not that guy but it is quite faggy.
>>19107698>entrance theme singalongs are banned unless the audience incorporate the Mcdonalds jingle mid chant
>>19107732There are people who watch WWE and only WWE who have complaints about the show they watch. I’m sorry you had to find out this way but it’s true
>>19111598Not true in this case though, you're a miserable cocksucker dubtranny making yet more shitty comments because AEW is taking it in the asshole and failing
>>19107665Technically the stadiums they are in these days are all one big too and they often have to advertise some company just to state the arena they are in.Have any wrestlers had an ad gimmick since Sgt Slaughter was advertising GI Joe, how long before we are seeing "Slim" Jim Morrison versus Mark "Mountain" Dew at the Intrust Stadium brought to you by Snickers? BTW WWE if you steal this you owe me a licensing fee.
>>19107832>>19107890Would that just mean you can pick any voice, any topics, and any style so that people stop all watching the same commentary team and just get a commentary team that essentially targets ads at them specifically?
>>19108030What adblocker combination do you use that gets rid of the mat and rope and titantron and LED barricade/post and commentary and transition screen ads?
>>19107698I hope this happens soon so I can just stop watching wrestling entirely.
>>19107665The absolute retards that actually watch that slop buy everything and watch every ad so why wouldn't they just keep playing more ads?
>>19111739>The absolute retards that actually watch that slop buy everything and watch every ad so why wouldn't they just keep playing more ads?This. For the last 20 years WWE has a "baseline" of a number of fans that will watch everything no matter what and spend money going to shows and on merch. They know this baseline will never leave. They could show ad overlays and the screen and the would still watch.
>>19108241has sol ruca ever talked about this since she admitted that it her in there?
>>19108353Punk should shill Yuengling or Fireball.
>>19110291Raw is still three hours it only went to 2 hours for like the last weeks they were on USA before moving to Netflix.
>>19111389We don't gender our adbots around here, you need to start referring to them with they/their pronouns.
>>19107665How long before those Disney World stunt robots start replacing actual human wrestlers?Would you watch a worked humanoid robot fighting league where they literally get to crush and blow each other up.
>>19107698TKO jews looked at football and said hold my beer
>>19109177It stands to reason. Israel literally means "wrestle with God." Hell, God invented pro wrestling. Inoki was being literal when he called it the sacred sport.
>>19111828Okay, but God passed the torch to VKM when he jobbed at Backlash 2006.
more ads means more money for the owners, which means more top quality product for the customers. ads also give the consumers the opportunity to find new things to spend their money on and therefore improve their lives, which also means more money for the owner of the other company and more top quality products for the customer. not to mention that ads are a form of art and well adjusted people (wwe fans) respect the art and love to study it. there's literally nothing wrong with ads and only communist trannies think there is
>>19111935>more top quality product for the customersNo, the timeslot remains the same, so every ad literally means less time and space for the actual product.If ads are so great on their own then make them optional, don't force them into the program that was already chosen to be watched, if people want them they will seek them out like they do with movie trailers and the like.
>>19111935>more ads means more money for the owners, which means more top quality product for the customers.The product was better in 1997 when they were making barely any profit.
>>19111945>>19111957coping commies
>>19107665>what is the limitHave you see how youtube works on channels for children because their parents are too stupid to install adblockers?It's 3 minutes of content, 5 minutes of ads. over and over for hours.
>>19107665I got ad breaks during Raw. Paused it for two seconds and it stopped them. I won't be watching WWE live If I have to watch commercials. I'll just watch the next day
>>19112005>t. doesn't understand anything about the concepts of time or space or quality because he is too busy hoarding pennies
GameStop presents WWE Raw on Netflix provided by Stacker 2, I'm Michael Cole alongside Corey Graves at the Fortnite Commentary Booth and up next is the Sprite Zero Opening Contest between FaZe Bron Breakker and OpTiC's own Axiom
>>19107665Don't forget there are even some unscrupulous older wrestlers who tattoo ads for things like dyed sugar water on their own body.
i havent watched ufc in years is it like this too?
>>19112223unironically yes it is that bad.ufc normies are even hitting a breaking point since some undercard matches go picture in picture to show more ads. really starting to hurt their brand
>>19112223Yes, every sport has commercials. It's shocking to autistics who only watch wrestling, but this is how all television works.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOBE THE BEEEEEE-EEE-EEEE-EEEEEEST
>>19107665I stopped watching a while ago but it sounds even worse now. Do they really have ads on the tables and mat lmao
ITT:50% well adjusted, reasonable anons who realize how invasive ads are becoming, to the point that it is actively getting in the way of the product50% e drones who literally CAN NOT ADMIT that perhaps, just maybe, sometimes…*deep breath*….WWE does something bad.
>>19107698e drones really read this and went “nah…no way…WWE = good. that means this is okay!!!”is being a dronie a mental illness?
>>19112811Sucks when they do it too, I'm not seeing how your coping mechanism changes anything
>>19107698id like one honest reply from an e drone about this
>>19112873pEdrones ain't too smart
>>19107665aew has:>fags on tables>fags on the mat>fags on the ropes>fags on the barricades>mini pop-up fags on screen>fags from hangma'am to Darby>every match is "5 stars" from Dave (a fag)>plus one singular fan onlineand now hulu will have fags mid-jan..what is the limit? will aew even be on in the next 5 years or will the whole timeslot go to tbbt?
>>19107698Insane how much the sole AEW fan has samefagged this unfunny shit
>>19112904No one cares about your headcanon, pork roll. Get over it
>>19107698this got the dronies OINKING lmfaooo
>>19113091Lost my shit at>mini pop-up fags
>>19107698GRIM.
>>19113091
>>19107665humjaldiwapasaateheinbros.... we fucking lost
>>19112223I miss the pre fight kit era
>>19113091not funny dronie.
>>19111712Please don't give them any bad ideas.When the most popular commentary track for Raw is AI Jim Ross and AI Jerry Lawler, the business is truly dead.No I'm not talking about the money. I'm talking about the soul.
>>19113091Based.And all but the Hulu part, because they ain't gonna carry that shit either, true.
ALLSTATE IT DOWN!!!OoooooooWAAAAAAAAOOOHOoooooooWAAAAAHAAAAAA

>>19114234Where as who left the air so the station could play an old movie?Who gets beat by HGTV and Hallmark?Is the feeling back?In your legs, I mean?
>>19107665Solution is simple. Start watching 45 mins after it starts airing and you will miss every ad break. I don’t care if it’s not live. I’m done wasting my life on ads
>>19114258>Couldn't fill a Chili's to capacityThat happened.
>>19114258did you have a stroke posting this?
>>19114234Kek nice subtle admission that you listen to cucknette.
>>19107698
>>19114459I haven't caught up with the latest episode yet lolI use his podcasts to go to sleep.Speaking of which, Wendy Choo could've put Helix Sleep mattresses over in a similar ad.Why not let wrestlers do ad spots when they're not in a match? Easy money. Bad idea, but easy money.
>>19114258Maybe you need some sleep, better sleep on a better mattress from one of CM Punk's friends at Helix who will help you go to sleep with the promo code "Punk"*4 minute ad break*
>>19107665goy slop faggots
>>19107698Roaddog what are you doing here?
>>19107698e bros…..is our show really just one big ad?
>>19107698lmfao
>>19112771This
>>19107665>what is the limitI'm definitely at mine with this shit! As much as I love Stephanie Vaquer and Roxxane Perez as well as trying to wait out Liv Morgan coming back and the Judgment Day storyline to end to see how it plays out I don't think I can. TKO and Triple Nose have taken things way too far. At least we didn't have all of this slop with Vince. I'm also way beyond priced out on ever going to a live show ever again in my lifetime. I'm sad to say /pw/ anons, but I think I may be done. I've been watching wrestling since the early 90s and I just think it's time to move on to something else with what time I have remaining on this shitty planet and how terrible our timeline is turning out to be. I also don't watch AEW and quit watching it earlier in the year as well. My wrestling days I believe are over, it's quite sad. I guess I'll just look for old WWF/WCW shit and relive the glory days again. Maybe watch ECW since I didn't get to when I was young and maybe even early TNA as I didn't even know it existed back then.
>>19107758WWE is ruined for other reasons. It's been booked by ChatGPT for the last two years. The ads just make it worse.
>>19107844you can fastforward the ads if you watch it later with Brave
>>19107698hate how accurate this is.
>>19107732Nu Jamal doesn't bombard you with 10 minute ads in-between the FIVE (5) matches you get on 3 to 4 hour PPV, or "PEE ELL EEEEE".
The Boston Celtics are currently on pace to go 0-82, which would be the worst season of any team in any sport in history.
