I get where people are frustrated about the constant "I'd like to work for other companies" pay raise bullshit or wrestlers making teasing posts on social media making people think they're jumping when they never planned to

I'm glad there is competition again in the US for mainstream wrestling companies getting wrestlers paid, but it's so very tiring to hear the same statements out of the same wwe roster members that will inevitably be there until they retire or die

People get their hopes up that a wrestler they like will break free from catering and then they're let down - it's understandable

That's the really terrifying thing, that enough people watch Crunchyroll Originals for it to be worth commissioning more.

The viewership is godawful, but after the Sony buyout of both Funimation and Crunchyroll there 1.) has to be reason for it to exist, and OG programing is enough to do so, and 2.) OG programing is an important way to crush competition in the crib now that again: Funimation and Crunchyroll are the same company.


EDIT: Also from WWE's prospective getting in bed with Crunchyroll is important because this is a site fulled with the bitter 30-40 year old burnouts who post bad memes about how their better than the other nerds, who watch this product anyway, while Crunchyroll is filled with normal teenagers-college kids who aren't irony poisoned by out of date forums culture and that is legitimately the biggest, widest means to appeal to said market. Even Disney does it because lmao kids don't read American comics anymore.

The last time Bryan re-signed was before another major domestic company existed, less than six months after he was finally cleared to return to work for the only big game in America, and at a point in time when he was three years younger and not in the same position to think about how he wanted to wind down his career. Roll your eyes if he re-signs again but I dunno why there would be so much animus toward the guy for what he did under meaningfully different circumstances

So many wrestlers have done this move at this point that everyone is just used to and expects it

Never get your hopes up when it comes to WWE - get your expectations low enough and keep hope that they do the bare minimum to trip and fall over the ground level bar you've set

Each is a different anime though. Shida and Omega is for the Shonen Jump/Trigger fans, while Maki is for the PS&G/"the girls are trash and hate you for being more trash while doing funny things to get THING"

The thing is that you can't really cancel Peacock. If you unsubscribe to a paid tier you are stuck with a free account, which boosts those numbers

Seriously, try to figure out how to delete your account.

I found this page that directs you to another page, which doesn't tell you how to do it.

https://www.peacocktv.com/help/article/how-do-i-delete-my-account

When I tried to delete my free account shortly after it launched I could not figure out how to do it.

I see that Viacom has the same people running Peacock as the people who run Comcast. I once spent 6 hours trying to downgrade my service to not include TV. It did not work.

Because last time he was talking about Japan & Mexico and then signed back with the E to go doing nothing memorable. What's he done that's memorable since miraculously returning? There was a Brock Lesnar title match & there was the Big Cass feud which was memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Last time I took him at his word and got disappointed and this time I just won't believe until it happens.

Sony have a virtual monopoly on international distribution with both Funi and CR in their pocket, they already have crushed competition. Remember VRV, KAZE in the UK, AOD in Germany and ADN in France are all part of Crunchyroll as well. Basically the only competition they have is Hidive and their main strength is their archive stuff (which has a fair amount of overlap with Crunchyroll even if they do have Legend of Galactic Heroes, the only anime that matters), they can't compete with Sony's clout in getting new stuff.

That's like saying because more people watch the NFL than wrestling, having Gronk win a title at Wrestlemania will make it more popular
