    Bah, fucking bullshit, the more things change the more they stay the same. Roman’s a part timer and he shouldn’t have won, this does nothing to bring me back to their weekly programming.

    I know it won’t happen but Oba Femi is due to debut at the Rumble. I’d love it if they have just decided to go all in and have him win the Rumble. We need a surprise winner for once.

    I get ESPN as part of my DirecTV package, and somehow spent 30 minutes locked out, then suddenly it worked and all I can say is… the “non-official” stream was working better than this app. WTF?

      And this is why when Netflix had a near monopoly on streaming, piracy numbers where down. It was just so f’n easy and it just worked.

      Piracy will always win on price, it’s the convience we are willing to pay for, but when YouTube has more ads that the pirate bay, and ESPN app is shittier than Watch Wrestling, why would anyone of our generation chose to pay?

      It’s a harsh lesson that companies will have to learn again, if the product becomes easier to yohoho than to purchase, the money faucet will dry up quick. Especially as more and more viewers get priced out.

      Something similar happened to me with Peacock at one point. I sat there waiting for it to load, got tired of waiting, hoisted anchor, and found the treasure all before Peacock started to actually play.

    I like how 2 minutes after Cole says it’s 2am there we get a 5 minutes of pyro going off all over the city. Fuck you sleepy heads, we’re showing off to wrestling fans!

      I’d like it if somebody from there would come and confirm the fireworks were real. In this LLM generated world, I don’t trust them to have been so.

        I think the camera wobbled at one point, which would be weird detail to include if it was fake, buy WWE is a weird company. I hate that I now have to worry about AI fireworks.

    Dang, I got so excited when the screen said Powerhouse Hobbs, only for it to shatter and his new Royce Keys name to appear. I hate this renaming shit more and more when they pick absolutely shit ass names. Ricky Saints works, but Hobbs to fucking Keys, gross.
