MONDAY NIGHT WARS BACK IN EFFECT WWE v TNA v AEW aka The Pro Wrestling Thread
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357
- Start date
This had a good PPV feel. Really fun show. They needed to go big for the Netflix debut and they did just that. I don't think it will be a weekly thing, but I liked what I've seen with their move to Netflix Just wish there weren't any commercials.
Wrestling Twitter is going to be hilarious tonight/tomorrow.

I had never seen the 1st episode of Monday Night Raw before, so I watched some of it tonight on Netflix. That size ballroom or studio is what AEW should be filming in.
With all of the commercials Netflix was trying to make their 10 Billion back in one night
Shouldve played video of Iron Sheik saying "FUCK THE HULK HOGAN!"

I personally think this is a better venue for aew, especially with guys like Jack perry and orange casserole
What else would they do? They have to show something during breaks. I know it's a streaming service so it, "shouldn't", have commercials, but they need sponsors just like any station to get ad money.
International audiences didn't cut to commercials. They showed the live feed while US audiences had commercial breaks.
How should AEW respond
TK ego is going to fuck it up instead of taking notes and putting on an entertaining. He's going to put on the cirque de soleil flip fest.
TK if you are listening don't put Kenny against Osprey or Kenny vs Ricochet save and build the story. You need Kenny to come announce his return to wrestling and immediately MJF interrupts him
Next have Swerve and Hobbs vs Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin.
Have Hobbs turn on Swerve and out of no where hace Wardlow return to both join the Hurt Business
Osprey vs Adam Copeland
Young Bucks vs Private Party
During Mercedes celebration Mina comes out to demand a rematch. During their interaction Mariah May comes out and stares at all of Mercedes belts and cuts a promo. Lights go out and umyou expect Julia Hart but instead you surprise the crowd with Athena on AEW.
I need a Toni Storm vs Anna Jay match
Finish the night with Moxley vs Orange Cassidy (For the AEW Diehards)

"We had to invite him. I knew it would be shit, but we had to." -Paul Levesque, probably.
Because Netflix in the US still needs to generate ad revenue. I pay extra for every subscription i have just not to have ads but those are for taped shows & movies but live content they have to show ads to make some of that 5 billy back they paid to WWE.
I watched most of the show, and it was a solid program. The legacy performers felt just a little out of place (I love Taker, but dude just making a drive by sorta felt weird...), but it was nice for a night where everyone was showing up.
Faces ruled the night, but it was a decent arrangement for getting people on board with the Netflix Era. Seth and Punk closing things out helped cement the gray-area "Monster Island" type environment I keep saying they are starting to foster.

I think she got Adam Pearce confused with the guy from BrazzersAdam P reading a text from Gow420 : "Tell this bitch to GO ON SOMEWHERE!!!!"
I'm rewatching Raw from the beginning and I honestly don't think the ads are that bad.
If they could make one change, I'd love it if they treat these shows like PPVs and only cut away to ads in-between matches.
With the show on Netflix, there is no reason to cut away in the middle of a match to show commercials.

Was the guy sitting next to Topanga the dude who played Cory's older brother on Boy Meets World?
All the celebrity shoutouts and they didn't even mention buddy.
And it seemed like Macaulay Culkin got one of the loudest pops of the night

Yeah that was will friedle the older brother Eric, he got no love lolWas the guy sitting next to Topanga the dude who played Cory's older brother on Boy Meets World?

Macaulay got the pop Hogan wishes he would have gotten
Commercials were more spaced out, they weren't cutting to them every ten minutes.
He was flashing back to that Harlem Heat promo
Yeah, the ads were fine. I mean 30 years of ads you're kind of used to it, by now. The problem I had with the ads is that they would go back and wouldn't show highlights of what was missed. Solo would be kicking Romans ass, but then back from commercial and now Solo is on his back. I am like: 'THE FCUK DID I MISS?!?!?!' Extremely miniscule when concerning ads.
I too thought it had a PPV feel (finishing it up now) I REALLY could have done without Hogan, Taker (even though he just rode around the ring) and the Rock. I am SUPER biased against those three so that isn't a real complaint. The REAL complaint and this is the only issue I have with them moving to Netflix is Netflix's interface. It was EXTREMELY difficult to find RAW. Saw all the reminders, but couldn't just play it. When they had football games on Christmas those came right up and let you play them even when they weren't on yet. It was such a hassle that I would rather download it to my PLEX server than watch it live

Lost to Drew at SummerSlam
Last night was all about love. Can't wait to see the turns. The Rock hugging Cody like that, 100% a setup. When Rocky put the ulafafalafa on Roman then while Roman was in the middle of the ring, the camera was on Rock giving him the, "i'm about to fuck up your life", look.
Rock might give a shout-out to MOMMA RHODES when he does turn
@Mastermind2002 was on Twitter last night posting about "real graps" like.......Not the motherfucking "real graps"
