Please don't tell me Adam Cole got badly injured running to the fucking ring, good god. They're saying they had the best walk up sales in the history of the company, attendance ended up like last year, what was the draw? in my heart I want to believe it was Eddie. $10 tickets, BOGO deals, and people who had nothing better to do on a Wednesday night. |

Nah, they said they added a bunch of $30 sections and sold about 3k at the gates. That's crazy for any company. I guess it was the local media push but the local media push never really makes a difference. Those boys must've been cutting insane promos on the local news.

WWE announced a 1.4 billion dollar TV deal with USA to move Smackdown back to cable and that means....talent cuts.

Also why on earth is USA shelling out that much for it? Likely to go back to being the B-Show if itβs not on network TV.

Eddie Kingston vs Claudio for a world title is kinda bizarre when you realize the only reason Kingston won the inaugural Chikara world title was because Claudio split for WWE.

im assuming nbc / peacock (who owns usa) is going to try to shoehorn smackdown / raw live onto the platform to try and get more subs in.

So as of now:
Smackdown - 280m a year
Archive - 200m a year
Raw - 265m a year (deal expires next September)
So WWE is getting 745m a year in guaranteed money directly from Comcast. And then the streamers fucking wonder why they can't turn a profit.
