Netflix having to finance its own productions definitely feels like it has more risk than the company would like but it's weathered the onslaught of other Streaming services and still has a decent subscriber base so unless they do something dumb they should still be around

When the streaming wars began and all the studios started their own services and stopped licensing shows to netflix all netflix had to do was to stay in business until the other services failed. They've pretty much succeeded. All the other companies are starting to realize it's a lot easier taking licensing money from netflix then losing billions on their own streaming service just so you can have all of The Office money.

NBCU, WBD, and Paramount are all in battle to buy/get bought by each other. WBD is already licensing their shows and movies to Netflix again. Netflix would for sure be the last one standing in 20 years.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
My favourite thing about the streaming wars is, like Steam, original netflix resulted in a dramatic decrease in piracy due to ease of access and thus piracy lost its necessity. Then every studio made their own and piracy is back up again due to loss of access. Turns out people will only download a car when you make it loving hard to get a car.

Just like with Steam, it was painfully obvious that the people going,"Hey, Netflix got in first and made it work, let's fracture everything unnecessarily because we're positive WE can be Netflix instead by doing what they're already doing but worse and making it more inconvenient for people who want our stuff to get it!" were going to end up either failing and folding or just limping along while making everything worse for everybody.

And therefore, by the transitive property, New Japan World should incorporate Stardom World as part of its package :mad:

Given the costs and money involved Netflix was never gonna end up as the only streaming service and competition for streaming in general entertainment is good but boy howdy the rush for everyone to make their own service so things would ended up like Cable but worse was just so massively dumb

Thankfully that was fixed after a couple of minutes. The talk itself wasn't particularly worthwhile, though.

I haven't read the court documents because honestly I don't want to subject myself to the kind of horrible poo poo I'd know I'd see in there, but Bryan skimmed through what he could over-the-air and Lance I think (might have been Mike?) was completely right when he said the description of how they met was basically a textbook description of a sexual predator seeing a potential victim. Just revolting stuff.

Just know it's really really bad. Like imagine what you think would be a typical scandal like this now imagine a really bad version of that. The accusations in the lawsuit are multitudes worse than what you just imagined

I was honestly shocked the building manager who introduced them wasn't named in the suit because that read like they had absolutely provided financially desperate women to their penthouse tenant before.

I feel like the big problem is what even is the wardlow gimmick anymore?

Like, he started as MJF’s muscle, Mr. Mayhem, who can do shooting star presses and crazy powerbombs and poo poo, and then they stripped away the MJF’s Muscle part. Okay, so we get to see his real personality now, and hear from him? Nope, not really, so we have eliminated the core tenet of his personality and not brought out a new side of him to show.

Okay, what’s next? He goes for titles and begins powerbombing dudes a lot. Cool, but now he doesn’t do any crazy explosive flips or anything. We are losing more bits. Then we get to the doldrums of when wardlow lost the belts, did not challenge for the tnt or ROH tv title again, and just powerbombed dudes angrily

Like, we need something to latch onto. Just being a wrestler only works if you do it like shibata and go fully into being a wrestler. Wardlow is a power guy who doesn’t wow the crowds anymore and needs something for people to latch onto. Even his foley sit down-style interviews didn’t take, and the whole dad thing fell flat.

The entire point of his character arc was that he wasn't a bad guy, he was a guy forced into a bad situation to help his financially struggling mother and sisters. That was the new part of his personality.

That’s fair, I did forget about that. They didn’t do a huge amount to make that shine through, IMO. It kinda got trial ballooned, and didn’t come back around when it never caught.

Despite looking how he looks he has dork energy. Like silly himbo energy. Making him a wannabe Goldberg face or Imposing Henchman doesn't work. I'll keep saying it until Tony notices my posts here: Put Wardlow with Brian Cage. They both have dork energy and are big dudes who can inexplicably flip and fly. Let them flip and fly, have them both wear face paint and just be fun bros who go out for pizza with each other and carb out.

Holy poo poo that would rule

Beef tag team that the other teams could base off of, and not pricks like the APA were(mostly Bradshaw)

That is a fantastic fuckin idea
