It's a huge :lol:, because the elderly Fox News viewers, who make up the bulk of Raw's audience when they fall asleep in front of the TV after switching over to it, aren't going to bother learning how to use Netflix

Unless they've radically changed, the average age demographics for Raw usually tends to be pretty high up there in terms of old folks :corsair:

Granted it's been a while since I last bothered to look, so maybe 18-30 olds have suddenly become a huge demographic for them in recent weeks

oh i forgot the network was on the peacock now. i can watch it again now that i have a subscription from the miami/kc game. i used to like watching all the old stuff. i was watching old mid atlantic matches right before they got rid of it. i guess i could watch old mid atlantic matches again, on the peacock streaming service.

Nope. All the WWE stuff is shifting around. By the time next January is here, it'll be:

Raw exclusively on Netflix
NXT on the CW
Smackdown on USA

There’s also a Japanese wrestler I know whose name escapes me who would take it to his own extremes I think some time after Goldust started his bit; the picture that I couldn’t find/really didn’t want to search for was him setting up for a piledriver with the opponent’s head literally stuffed into the front of his brief-style tights.

Ah, THERE he is.

I'm pretty sure these people are Netflix's primary target audience and it explains so much.

They're sure making it a pain in the rear end to just watch their product. I got into wrestling last year because I saw Macho Man Randy Savage jump like a ballerina.
I decided to just start watching WrestleManias
And when I went to 3 to see Hogan and Andre I happened
To see Steamboat v Savage and I thought oops I have misread this. Cut to six months later and I'm getting misty
watching Ric Flair lose to Shawn Michaels. Then a few weeks later I'm genuinely tearing up at Minoru Suzuki v Jushin Liger. Such an amazing thing this made up BS can be. For more modern stuff, I like the Ciampa Gargano feud and my man Gunther.

I love Vader. I love his run with surfer Sting in WCW. I also loved Ron Simmons beating Vader for the belt. That's a tough video to find. It shouldn't be. I also love Mike Awesome, who is the star of a very sad story. I was wondering if you learned gents could point me in the direction of some more great stuff. Doesn't matter the promotion.

I'd say its probably only slightly more of a pain in the rear end. USA still gets a show I can't watch live because I don't have cable. I now get a show I can watch on Netflix instead of a show I can watch on my antenna, but I'd assume more people have Netflix than there are weirdos like me with an antenna. I guess the people with cable could watch local TV too so that's worse for people who pay for cable but not Netflix. PPV is still on Peacock. I don't watch NXT so maybe that's worse?

I think the bigger pain was the switch to Peacock. More people have a free subscription, but The Network had chapter stops for all the important segments in a PPV. Last time I checked Peacock you still made you fast forward through like its a VHS tape.

I guess I shouldn't bitch because I only got into wrestling because they put it on Peacock but I hear all the time about how much better the regular WWE Network was than the Peacock thing. I wish you could watch chronologically i.e. put on one episode of Smackdown and it'll go into the next ppv, followed by Raw... Instead of every summer slam and every mitb and every WrestleMania... Is this truly the best way to organize this?

I imagine Netflix will have the ppvs and such after the deal
With Peacock comes to an end. At least Hulu had new Raw and Smackdown and NXT... Now it's Raw on Netflix Smackdown on Hulu and PPVs on Peacock? They shouldn't be making UNAUTHORIZED DUPLICATION this much easier

Edit also, yo, NXT is good poo poo these days. Usually better than the main roster poo poo

After reading that article, the first quote I immediately thought of was Jake The Snake in Beyond the Matt. About how normal sex just gets boring and you get kinkier and kinkier.

I think ol' Vince may have a cuck fetish.
