>Yes, I called it a pay-per-view. I refuse to say PLE. Why are smarks like this? Why is "PPV" so important to them? WWE's events don't use the pay-per-view model anymore? They're part of streaming subscription services. Calling them pay-per-views is not accurate.
Do you pay to use a streaming service or not?
>>20371188>Calling them pay-per-views is not accurate.seek help
only fags care about being 100% accurate with meaningless shit
>>20371193You pay for cable TV. Is every episode of SmackDown a PPV?
>>20371197But cable operators carrying a PPV are a thing of the past old man, get on with the times it's PLE.
>>20371198Yes.
I don't use acronyms.
>>20371197It's not about that, it's about how smarks act superior because they insist on using the older and outdated name for them.
>>20371198Cable is a subscription service, is every episode of SmackDown a "Premium Live Event"?
>>20371214No, that's why they created the term premium live event. It specifically describes the major events that are a bigger deal than a weekly episode of the shows.
>>20371205I want to know if it's going to rain tomorrow. I'll turn on the Weather Channel pay-per-view.
>>20371188I pronounce them like "Pleh".>Damn that was one hell of a pleh.
PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV PPV
>>20371198>>20371219then why is are NXT PLE's called premium live events if they're on free TV?
>>20371290because e-drones are fucking stupid
>>20371293oh yeah that part
>>20371290>It specifically describes the major events that are a bigger deal than a weekly episode of the shows.
>>20371204nah. it's just like how when a band came out with a CD everyone always still called it a record. even when no one existed when records were being released. it's like bandaid or whiteout. that's just what ppl call it
>>20371293WWE makes you angry. We get it. But at least tried to follow along with the posts before you irrationally seethe for no reason.
>>20371297but you want to take the term Pay Per View literally, why are you making exceptions for Premium Live Event?I thought you wanted to be accurate.
>>20371209You have it backwards. SMARKS are the ones who always insist on using the current names. Like calling it WWE even when it's an old clip of WWF
>>20371310
>>20371299That's fine, but if someone was like "I refuse to call them CDs, they're records!" That would be pretty stupid.
>>20371326who has said that in regards to PLE/PPV?
>>20371309A premium live event would be>major events that are a bigger deal than a weekly episode of the shows.That describes the NXT shows whether they're on Peacock, YouTube, or CW. The term pay-per-view describes a specific method of watching the show, which WWE hasn't used in a very long time.
>>20371341that's not what premium means
>>20371340Many people in this thread and within the IWC.
>>20371188PLE is a stupid term, thats why its never caught on. it is true that the term "pay-per-view" is outdated but nobody has come up with a replacement term that fans actually like. they should just do like PVE and call it a gigashow or something similar.
>>20371188They're boomer manchildren refusing to let go of the past.
>>20371188>Why are smarks like this? Why is "PPV" so important to them?It's not that we're smarks it's that we're old. And after calling it PPV for decades it's hard to change. I still call it the WWF as well cause that's what I grew up watching.
>>20371341>pay-per-view describes a specific method of watching the showThe method can be cable, satellite or internet. The difference is you are purchasing to watch individual events."Pay-per-view (PPV) is a type of pay television or webcast service that enables a viewer to pay to watch individual events via private telecast.">which WWE hasn't used in a very long time.Jim Cornette insisted on still the purchasing the individual PPVs via cable TV up until around 2020, and using the expense as a tax writeoff. It was an option longer than people realize.
>>20371299The "record" in "vinyl record" is short for recording. There's technically nothing wrong with saying cassette record or compact disc record, and that's part of the reason modern collectors just say "vinyl" to refer to the older format.
>>20371188premium live event cheapens it, sounds like an off brand versionluckily i don't watch wwe so it doesn't affect me but i can imagine why people don't want to use that dumbass vinceism
I’ve been calling them “PPVs” longer than you have been alive. I’m not gonna suddenly shift because we have netflix and ESPN now
>>20371749This
Why would I let WWE define my language choices?
>>20371198No, because you arent paying for a specific episode of Smackdown. You are paying a basic fee to access the network that Smackdown airs on. Hope this helps.
>>20371812what's premium about a premium live event that airs on free TV?
>>20371822Think you responded to the wrong person
I don't let WWE dictate the way I speak, simple asDo you call wrestlers "superstars"? Did you ask janny to rename this board to "sports entertainment", anon?
>>20371188I'm just used to calling them ppvs, not everything is a statement.
>>20371188It’s just 'contrarian theater' at this point, if WWE does it, the smarks reflexively hate it.
>>20371832>WWF and PPV>WWE and PLE
>>20371812That is exactly how the PLEs work on ESPN, and how they worked on Peacock and the WWE Network.
>>20371829answer me
>>20371840no, it's been called WWE since 2002the PLE thing started when? last year? that's 23 years of still being called PPVs
>>203718653 years, 23 years, distinction without difference unc
>>20371822they had no answer for this one
PLE sounds stupid
>>20371188The fact that you're obsessing over something as insignificant as this sort of indicates that you're the smark, friend.
>>20375595"PLE" sounds like a disease kek
you're fucking dumb
>>20375595Agreed. Plus slightly gay
>>20371198>You pay for cable TVNo I don’t
>>20371293We don’t sign our posts here
>paper view
>>20371188this is a shit thread. but, it is still better than ANY simp thread.
>>20371188I think it's fine. Its mostly habit for a lot of people unless they're going out of their way to put down the PLE title. Otherwise I know what they mean so who cares.
>>20371188The switch to PLEs was solely done to try to market it as something other than 'just combat sports'
