Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted January 25 Paid Members Share Posted January 25 2 hours ago, JNLister said: From what I can gather, most of Netflix's content is hosted/delivered by Amazon Web Services. They charge a very small amount for the actual storage and then a variable fee based on how often it's accessed/transcoded/delivered. Content that nobody watches really doesn't cost that much day-to-day in the big picture. But at Netflix’s scale, those “small amounts” will be a significant cost. Especially as Netflix will create multiple encodings of shows and movies up to 4K quality; we’re talking gigabytes of data for a single title.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 25 Paid Members Share Posted January 25 How much data storage costs is worse than ratings chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) I do wonder if this cross to Netflix and the demise of the Network may be linked to the horrendous allegations about Vince. By eradicating the history of the Vince era, they're free to run with a new era which is free of Vince's involvement. Sound dramatic? Well yes, we all know you can't just re-write history (although it doesn't mean people don't try - the WWE certainly has. Look at Benoit and even Hogan during his wilderness days after his racist views). They know that history is there and isn't really going away, but it doesn't mean you have to publicise it or make it accesible via your official channels. And let's be honest, how many fans (particularly young fans) are going to be complaining they can't see Wrestlemania 2? They could still show clips, have the occasional PPV from the archives, but I think this will be the perfect chance to draw a line between the eras. After all if more comes out, or Vince does time then there's so much they'd need to re-edit, re-commentate etc. The BBC did with TOTP and Savile, but that was removing the links - to do it with WWF/E programming would be near impossible. Imagine 97/98 without Vince? It's easier just to consign it to the dustbin of history. Edited January 29 by The Reverend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Some Guy Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 That's actually a good point. Once you eradicate footage of VKM from the 80s & 90s what percentage of WWF TV & PPV is left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mal the Glorious Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Just listened to a little episode of WrestleMe they've just put out and they bring that up. There's only one Wrestlemania where he doesn't feature and he's all over a lot of them, would they just remove all of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vamp Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I'd think if they were going to get rid of anything from 97/98 they'd do it because the actual content is offensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfogg1991 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Surely they won't try to completely erase him from history and the material they would have nothing left to use. I think it's better and easier to erase some of the stuff (the stuff with the divas is probably a great place to start) but move forward and make it the most important thing after this which is making sure the safety of all the staff and talent is paramount and this absolutely disgraceful and aborent things are never allowed to take place or come close ever again.

Paid Members mim731 Posted January 29 Paid Members Share Posted January 29 They'll likely just remove the most egregious stuff and then go the Benoit route of not promoting and/or making him searchable while also adding a disclaimer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also having a enjoyable and interesting conversation with a friend about not completely erasing a band's material because of the actions of one member because a band and music is so much more than just one element. The rest of the band in lostprophets are so so talented and the music they created was so groundbreaking and doesn't deserve to be erased and removed from the world.

Loki Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 He booked essentially every angle for 50 years, directed every episode, is the commentator on about 20 years worth.  Trying to erase him from WWE history is a fool’s errand and they won’t even try. They will just never mention him for a few years, probably until he dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that could happen if things escalate and a criminal complaint is filed, but this particular lawsuit is no different than Carroll vs Trump; which Trump, alarmingly, has shrugged off quite successfully. I think @Loki’s assessment is probably spot on. There’s no need to mention him on screen, so that simply won’t happen.

Whether any new evidence in this trial comes to light and leads to a criminal case is another matter.  EDIT - posted at same time as Rooster. Edited January 29 by Keith Houchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lead singer is a fucking nonce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
