It's terrestrial TV/Free-to-Air. So has the largest potential audience as even you cut cable you can still get the channel with an arial. But the Network only came along in the 90s? So doesn't have the prestige or standing of the other networks. Still should lead to new viewers that you wouldn't otherwise get. Going back to USA means being back in the cable bundle that's losing subscribers year on year. Ratings wise it will be worse for them. I can’t see USA paying more then Fox were offering for Smackdown either. Seems like a bust of a deal moving from one of the big 4 networks back to cable. Quote

No idea if that's accurate, but it would make it more than the Fox deal, on paper at least. I suspect that's a fudged number to some degree though, add ons etc, but they're certainly touting it as an upgrade. Quote

Aliyah has been with WWE 8 years. 8 years!!! Dolph is surprising but not surprising. I thought he'd be a lifer in many regards but he's obviously not been around for ages. Quote

But the market reach is going to drop dramatically. It did good on Fox, but I don’t think as great as they had hoped and that’s probably why they didn’t renew it Quote
David Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 Clearing the decks to get Punk's part-time legends deal signed, I'm guessing. Bring the lad home. Quote

Not even that. Jade Cargill, Nia Jax, AOP, Pillman Jr, Kamille are all meant to be signed. Maybe some others. Just had another indie try out class and always have the conveyor belt of NIL types signed up. The way the company is set up its designed to have this type of churn. So far I don't think i've seen a really surprising name in the list. Quote

This round of job cuts will be office staff, because that's where they're going to recognise duplication of work - no point in UFC and WWE having separate legal or marketing teams, for example, if they can just have one TKO team handling both companies. From an audience perspective, that might get interesting if they factor production into this, but chances are this is all corporate stuff that will have no bearing on the product. Imagine Kevin Dunn directing UFC? Jaysus. Quote

Paid Members Supremo Posted September 21, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Imagine being cut to make up for the signing of Pillman junior. What a slap in the face. The lad's useless. Tamina, tomorrow morning, explicably surviving the cuts. Edited September 21, 2023 by Supremo Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted September 21, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 21, 2023 Emma's release will probably mean the return of Tenille Dashwood to Impact. Nemeth Brothers Vs the Young Bucks? Does Charlie Haas still wrestle at all? Do we get a WGTT reunion somewhere? Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted September 21, 2023 Posted September 21, 2023 The only thing I want to know is the final tally of Dolph Vs Kofi Quote
