lol yeah the cable company's app definitely isn't designed for upwards of one twentieth of their claimed user base to be streaming something at once, they really shouldn't have taken on the responsibility here

pretty sure moving from in-house to fuckin nbc isn't going to be a step down in terms of infrastructure
They were never in-house, anyway. They're using MLB's streaming stuff.

I suppose it's somewhat rational given that the WWE Network did have issues when it was new.

I believe that WWE actually moved away from BAM Tech (MLB sold that division off) a couple of years ago.

How do you know what he does with it? Where was he able to commission such a thing? Is it to scale? Were you involved in the process of it’s creation thus you have knowledge of this occurring?

Crossing posting from another thread:

MassRafTer posted:

Only got halfway through the Hobbs Talk is Jericho interview but there's lots of good tidbits about the AEW backstage atmosphere, how nice everyone was when he did the job for Orange in 30 seconds, how everyone from Jericho to FTR to Tully and JR are willing to sit down and go over his matches and give him tips, going from unsigned to Tier 0 to Tier 1, just more details there weren't time for on Unrestricted.

I can only assume that it was JR who told Hobbs that he should start doing the Oklahoma Stampede (Dr Death's old finisher)


Also, thank god PN NEWS decided to chime in with his opinions of the business!

Yeah I never understood that argument. It has nothing to do with ability anyway but most wrestlers today look like they live in the gym and most wrestlers from the 80s look like the stereotypical dad that falls asleep in front of the TV in their la z boy.

Yeah,when Disney ended up owning BAMTech, WWE used that as an opportunity to switch to Endeavor which I think is also who does UFC streaming? Or maybe they won UFC, there was something along those lines. The switch happened in early 2019.

I do agree with PN News that there need to be more big guys. Put Calvin Tankman on my TV. Mr Grimm. Big Beef. "Big" has different interpretations than just "tall and/or muscular".

It's my favorite way to get people to understand whitewashing. Like, there's no way to excuse it, especially nowadays. And then you hit them with the "btw so many people got cancer after working on that movie," and boom you aren't invited to parties anymore

The cancer thing may be a myth. The same percentage of people who worked on the movie got cancer as get cancer in the entire population.

Their numbers don't line up anyway; if it's Jericho and MJF the age rounds to 36 not 37.

Super pedantic but seeing "74 and 78 are the same number" really bugged me.
