Ganso Bomb posted:As someone who just started a Paramount Plus trial for one specific show, this is so true. Love to scroll through a single row of all the shows in a section in alphabetical order instead of something more sane like a grid that takes up my whole screen. Fuckin' bozos. We also just got the Paramount+ trial for Drag Race. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Peacock’s comedy originals, but man should that app be smart enough to know that if I made it to the credits of the last episode of something, I’m going to want to watch the next episode the next time I spin the thing up and not the rest of the credits.

DLC Inc posted:was thinking about this earlier while watching some stuff about the "Reign of Terror" era-----what's been the worst booking decision from WWE in modern history in your opinion? Like, in terms of something that, if it had gone the other way, would have radically altered the course of the company for the better or hoisted up a way better worker towards success. I'm forever hung up on HHH going over Booker T at Wrestlemania, I think---would have really been a huge win and course correction. I'm sure there are others more memorable in terms of CM Punk matches or Brock pinning Kofi in 10 seconds (which I can't even put near the top because it was such a random rear end but expected thing) Depends on what you are calling modern I suppose. Obliterating CM Punk at the knees in 2011 was bad. Same for Bryan in 2013/2014. Then Ambrose in 2014/2015 is when I knew it just wasn't there. I'll also throw in the obliteration of Bayley, a license to print money as a face, that they managed to get booed and now her best main roster work is as a heel.

Michael Corleone posted:How much money did WWE lose out on from PPV's by going to the Network and giving away all the Big 4 for 10 bux. Had to have been quite a bit, they got half of 60 bucks, 30 for each order. People were going to order at least Mania and the Rumble, and hardcores would order more. I guess in a sense it stopped casuals like me from looking for streams for a PPV I wanted to see, but they would need to do, well it would be algebra where the breakeven point btwn selling for 30 and 10 was found. Plus all the other content, seems like it was a good idea and the fans benefit but the company lost out on money. And what are they getting now after selling to Peacock, they still produce all the content, what does NBC pay them? There is a chart I saw where one Blood Money show was worth like… the equivalent of 7 Wrestlemania or something stupid high. You could be more profitable by putting on a good show, letting them watch PPVs for dirt cheap, and growing your audience. I was more invested in WWE when the Network launched and it was like… finally I can watch all these shows live! But then you get to a point where I am paying $1.25/mo for Peacock and had zero interest in the last PPV.

like the last five years I actually turned it on the TV or subbed to the network, it was just background noise and I was only checking out the gifs because nothing loving matters. They ripped out a dude's eye and it grew back. Why the gently caress would I watch this poo poo beyond a mocking social media interation. Every time John Cena threw the ring steps like Donkey Kong was the coolest poo poo. They never talked about it tho. Like brought it up when talking up Cena. coconono fucked around with this message at 04:37 on Jun 25, 2021 |

Nobody knows how much money WWE gave up by going all in on streaming, and with the PPV's mostly being dog poo poo I doubt buy rates would be high......but just look at what ESPN is doing with UFC PPV's and you can see the kinda of money WWE lost. They really should kept the big 4 as PPV's and put the rest on the network

coconono posted:It would have made sense for WWE to build a new Undertaker, but instead we have people yelling at Bix that Alexa is a cheese pizza. Bray Wyatt looked and talked like a knock off Waylon Mercy; there is no way he should've ever have been built up as a new Undertaker. The Fiend gimmick might have worked if they stuck the crappy mask on someone who was physically intimidating, instead of a guy who, at best, could be described as "round".

NXT UK is teasing a new lady debuting named Blair Davenport. It's probably Bea Preistley since she was rumored a few months ago to being going to nxt uk. listen to this lack of reaction to Cena teasing a return to WWE on Jimmy Fallon show. https://twitter.com/FallonTonight/status/1407911778739183622

So is Will joining her or are they not together or is he really physically not able to go? Cena became what he hated along: a part time wrestler that only comes back to perhaps promote his movies.

Breaking the Shield up probably is the biggest modern booking error followed by refusing to push Moxley as a top guy

The rise of Hulkamania, the jump to WCW, the NWO, the return to WWE and the NWO, Hulkamania faceturn against The Rock and at 19 he beat Vince McMahon and left again Randy Orton went from cocky prick, Evolution, Legend Killer, and then spent the last idk, 10 or so years as the same person with different face/heel alignments.

I misread the question cuz I'd just woken up from a nap but I think phasing Cena down the card so early was awfully dumb. Maybe not the biggest blunder but I have to think it hastened the decline

The worst booking decision in modern WWE was having Rollins cash in at Mania 31. It killed Reigns' potential as a babyface and took the belt off one heel who didn't put over anyone to put it on another heel who would go on to not put over anyone and injure people he worked with.

The worst booking decision will always be the Invasion for me. Other terrible decisions since then have lost their fanbase, but the Invasion prevented a growth that could have dwarfed anything they'd done previously. All they had to do was not treat the opposition like a joke and a sideline to the never-ending McMahon family drama. But drat there have been some awful decisions in the 20 years since the Invasion. The Reigns of Terra, Cena and Reigns. The treatment of crowd favourites like Danielson. Their complete and utter refusal to push anyone who hasn't been mandated as a corporate favourite. Breaking up popular teams and groups, including managers, for no other reason than they want singles stars above all else. Brock Lesnar: making everyone else on the roster a jobber to the star. Treating most legends as useless old has-beens, unless it's one of those episodes where the old guys physically or verbally make the current roster look like a bunch of absolute chumps. The endless 50/50 booking that makes everyone involved look worse. Signing so many TV deals that they just have to keep churning out content that doesn't have any booking behind it, just matches for the sake of matches. The Rise and Fall of the Women's Division. Baron Corbin: Angle Killer (in more ways than one). Apart from a couple of occasions, turning the Royal Rumble into a predictable chore by only ever pushing one wrestler as the possible winner. Getting rid of the Survivor Series elimination matches, or worse using them as some lame Raw vs SmackDown bitter rivalry blowoff between guys who were usually on the same roster weeks earlier.
