ChrisBTY posted:I'm having trouble accepting a world where people are happier working for IMPACT for like 1/5th the money (spitballed. I don't actually know I just have to assume it isn't good) than being in WWE. In a lot of professions this is the case. People make bank mid-career, if they've done a good job managing finances, they don't need/value the paycheck as much as they do the freedom to pursue what they actually give a poo poo about. Autonomy is a massive deal breaker in many careers, let alone one where your entire public persona/brand is in the hands of someone else. Before social media, this was probably not as impactful, but maintaining that dual life has gotta be exhausting with instagram/tiktok/etc. midge fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Sep 30, 2020 |

I think it's a generational thing where this crop of wrestlers values creative freedom a whole lot more than older wrestlers and they (probably rightly) see places like Impact and AEW as places where they can have that while WWE so clearly is not.

I pay for Impact Plus and I'm getting pretty tired of not being able to watch it until days later, when everything is spoiled over social media. Twitch is an option, but every time I've tired to watch it the quality, connection, audio has been a shitshow, not to method the asinine parts with people chatting poo poo between segments on their webcams . I don't have cable TV, nor do I want to sign up to a package to watch dumb wrestling once a week. I feel the value is pretty low. Are there any options I'm missing here? It's frankly amazing that all 3 methods of consuming the media has a "cost", and the one that directly drives revenue from consumers is the worst option. midge fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Sep 30, 2020 |

Doesn't the WWE Network do the same thing, where they don't put up Raw or SmackDown for a few weeks after initial broadcast?

Impact just landed their weekly on the only FTA sports channel in the UK and the PPVs on its sister pay TV channel. Indestructible. https://twitter.com/IMPACTWRESTLING/status/1312029579146489857 I miss the yearly tradition of writing Jeff Hardy off TV for the UK tour. Edit: also the Victory Road ImpactPlus special is tomorrow: https://twitter.com/FiteTV/status/1312166253612605441 My 30 day free trial seems to be available again, so I'll be catching this. https://twitter.com/BrandonThurston/status/1312445927827759105 J-Ro fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Oct 3, 2020 |

Jesus christ, a 4-team tag title match, and a 6 person X title match. Those are gonna be overbooked, sloppy, but potentially hilarious, messes. Only knowing a little about Rohit from the last time I watched Impact, when Drew Mcintyre, Samoa Joe, and Bobby Roode were still there, I've been pleasantly surprised by him with the lead up to and his title run, real fun cowardly, manipulative heeling.

J-Ro posted:I hope Kylie is ok, god drat. Yeah same. F4W is reporting she was held out over injury concerns which is....something. It's very TNA that they would do a bait and switch and literally not acknowledge her existence at all. I know it technically tracks but something just seems off about the whole thing.
