I'd watch for Ospreay, if only because him working there would be a sign that TNA actually wants to upend the perception that their product is in a sealed bubble and booked on autopilot.

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.

Isn't that a broadcast station ranked behind a cable station? Somehow the CW is free to more people, but less watch it than TBS, that should be embarrassing.

They're pivoting hard into live sports and reality TV, which really means they want cheaper programming.

It's really the work of Nexstar more than Zaslav & Co. Nexstar bought majority ownership of the network from both WBD and Paramount, then immediately said "We've gotta start cutting costs around here, nobody's watching this genre crap!" (CW's previous programming model had basically become a way for the studios to produce shows that made a profit via international/streaming rights sales before ever hitting the airwaves; selling ads for the linear broadcast was just icing on the cake.)

The new owners claim to be in talks to produce or acquire dozens of series for new original programming, but between the strikes and their cheapness that sure didn't pan out for their 2023 Fall schedule. So the focus for the time being seems to be the cheapest programming possible, with an emphasis on discount sports. Getting paid to air LIV Golf, picking up a slate of ACC football/basketball games that were sold off at a bargain following the Bally regional sports network bankruptcy, securing the rights to NASCAR's second-tier Xfinity racing series - all of which are purely carriage deals, the leagues themselves are responsible for production.

I feel like the CW has fallen from being the "Fifth Network" to being in the same group of those weird digital channels like Me-TV or Comet that just play syndicated shows all day. I know I'd rather watch old episodes of Stargate SG-1 and CSI: Miami over NWA any day.

I saw this guy declaring he stopped supporting Cornel West because he dropped the Green Party and thought to myself "what kind of person could possibly care about that?"



I didn't expect that answer.

Edit: He's not interesting or worth reading his tweets just a funny profile and bio.

That person literally can't handle different types of wrestling and catering to different types of fans

I don't love everything AEW does but I've never loved everything that any promotion does. There's no such thing as perfect and the best you can do is try to minimize the number of people you piss off but AEW is so much better than WWE because there's something for everyone. If you don't like Orange Cassidy then you have Samoa Joe. If you don't like Danhausen then there's House of Black

I'll never understand the type of fan that wants everything to be late 90s Attitude era grimdark edgy badass whatever. That was 25 years ago and it's gone and it's not coming back
