You're completely correct, and there were warning signs and people (*proudly raises hand among them) who'd seen this stuff coming from the moment the boom started that the burst was 1) coming and 2) going to be devastating when it hit. So far it's been Even Worse than expected, unfortunately/somehow (we all saw skyrocketing prices, every distributor trying to get a piece of the pie and a lot outright dying/being crippled in the process of trying and finding out the hard way about the burst, 2-3 monopolies that own everything taking control, etc; nobody ever could have expected that content would actually be erased from history entirely, and we're also seeing an unprecedented increase in content promised renewals having them rescinded and erased, even after already having been filmed)

Streaming ending up worse than Cable TV I think was my end call and while it doesn't have locked in contracts I'd say it's almost there !

Streaming is pretty sweet since it's led to the return of cheap cable options like Sling or even reasonable bundles that have the channels I want, and then HBO Max (soon to be MAX) and Tubi for some extra movies.

Turns out following the path of a business that’s never turned a profit makes it hard to uh, turn a profit.

(I meant everyone following Netflix, but, gosh that could apply to so many things, couldn’t it?)

Netflix's problem is that it originally started out as a replacement for video stores which was a solid business model. Trying to be a network turns out needs a different model (IE not dumping content all at once)

Tony's smart enough to avoid the doing PPV's live on honor club though. Gotta keep that revenue stream going

Yeah I'm still not sure how you can delete a show you already aired and call it a tax write off. I'd be surprised if anything surprised me anymore.

Its more as a thing to stop paying residuals then it is a tax write off.

Crossposting this from the AEW thread where I first saw the news about Jay Briscoe.

Sydney Bottocks posted:

Very sad news about Jay Briscoe, I didn't get into ROH until like around 2011 or so but him and Mark were always one of the most entertaining parts of any ROH show I watched. The match they had against GoD at MSG and the matches they had against FTR are literally some of the best pro wrestling tag team matches I've seen, bar none.

Posting one of the greatest Briscoe Brothers promos of all time in his memory. RIP.

It's not that kind of test.
I fondly remember posting along in the live thread on the night when Jay beat Steen for the ROH title. At the start of the show no one thought he had a chance, but they played up his six (I think) previous unsuccessful challenges to the point that we thought it was possible, and then he went and did it! I can't think of anyone who switched back and forth so seamlessly between being in a top tag team to one of the top singles wrestlers in a promotion.

I can't believe this is how I found out Jay was younger than me. :smith:

Hold a tag tournament at Supercard of Honor. Invite everybody. Noah guys, New Japan Guys, WWE guys, old ROH guys. Anyone who shared a ring with him or his brother. Make it a celebration of him.

I've been thinking about this and I hope they manage to get Chris Hero involved for KoW, and if WWE would spare Steenerico for one night it would be wild. I'd love a FTR/KoW or Steenerico final as it would represent great Briscoe rivalries from the past and more recent times.
