How is Peacock actually doing these days? Is it still abysmally organised?

I always tell myself I'm going to watch some old matches on there whenever I turn it on to catch part of a Premium Live Event but between the incredible slowness of the app and the outright freezing/crashing I couldn't really say how well organized it is now. If the Peacock app on Comcast didn't just open to the ppv when it's airing I'm not sure I'd know/bother to find it in the menus.

Read "rehearsed" as "flippy moves that have some minor setup", as opposed to so generic and formulaic that it all looks the same.

AEW looks more rehearsed by default since WWE constantly cuts away from people doing moves. Who knows what might be going on in a WWE ring!?

I wouldn't be that surprised if at some point WWE just films the wrestlers walking around the ring but the actual moves are all done in CGI somehow

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.

And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

tbh I don't think that's an inherently bad take? I imagine they watched TNA live from 2005-9, so nostalgia is probably colouring their memory of the product, which is fine imo, and NXT did indeed have some of the highest highs of any wrestling show over the past decade, so it's a pretty balanced argument there. I dunno, this poo poo is subjective.

e: oh lmao I just wrote that before your edit, what the gently caress

Fabdigity is probably the right opinion; NXT was objectively better but taking into account nostalgia and cherry picking memories and you'll end up thinking TNA was better.

I always feel bad when I yawn at wrestling shows but most shows are like 3 hours minimum with you jumping up and down and being excited and just spending a lot of energy all night. And I'm old. Let me yawn without persecution.

Wasn't that the show where DX, shocking nobody, treated FTR like complete dogshit backstage?

The worst kind of tornado.

that Raw was great because they charged a wild amount for the Manhattan Center seats and you could see the guys in the front row realizing that they, as an individual, covered all of, like, Kelly Kelly's expenses to appear at a different building as the show wore on.

They also don't realize how claiming it's all scalpers buying them actually hurts their arguments. Scalpers/resellers aren't going to spend a ton on stuff they can't actually move.
