Probably old news to most of you, but I've just seen that Royal Rumble is taking place in February next year, which has really upset me. That's just not right!

Woke culture has gone too far this time!

Didn’t they do SummerSlam in July one year? Again, wrong. Even early August doesn’t seem right for SummerSlam. Always associate it with late August.

2022 I think. Sure it was the only time.

I don’t even know why I know that. I wasn’t watching shit at the time and definitely wouldn’t have seen that show but I must’ve read about it on here and just the fact they did a SummerSlam in July was enough to stick with me for it’s wrongness.

WrestleMania was always March right? And at some point became an April thing.

That never bothered me and I think it’s because it flip flopped between March and April from very early on. 1 was March and 2 was in April and looking at the first 10 WrestleManias, it’s a 50/50 split between March and April, so it never really became ‘set in stone’ for either one month or the other with me.

This may be a bit of a dumb question, but when Raw/SD etc move over to Netflix, will TNT or any other traditional TV channel retain any of the weekly highlight package shows?

SNME airing on YouTube next Saturday and not on the network.

That's shit, I don't watch WWE live so will be a horrific experience trying to watch it on replay on YouTube with ads every 5 minutes.

On the Netflix front, are live shows available immediately after airing? I'm far too old and responsible to be able to stay up live and usually watch them the night after.

Google seems to suggest they're not added till a few days after for on demand, was that the case with the Tyson fight for example?

From what I can tell with various devices from the Tyson fight, if you can watch it live on your device, you can watch it immediately after as well.

If you can't watch it live (which is the case on some older devices such as my Freeview DVR), it takes a day or so before they upload it in a form that you can watch it. I assume that's after they do any edits and generate the screenshots that appear as you use the visual scroll/fast forward.

Looking at the WWE Vault channel on Youtube - the (excellent) CM Punk documentary went up the other day, and today it was the Paul Heyman documentary. I wonder if this is WWE  uploading all the things Netflix don’t want onto the Vault channel instead. 

WWE vault is a bit of a gem. They've put up an SNME from 1988. I was able to enjoy it without any annoying adverts.

Jeebus. I'm being serious. Does anybody know of anybody selling a lot of old NWA/WCW on DVD? I'll buy a ton.

Honestly pretty happy to just repeatedly rewatch St. Valentine's Day Massacre to get my fix.
