Another example of what I mean when I say I don't give a damn if a politician wears a yellow ribbon and/or say they support the troops.

Words are meaningless to me in the absence of action. Or in this case, abject cruelty.

I would say trying the "ignore reality and people will move on" gambit is a dumb move, but it works for some reason.

I don't see ESPN covering WWE to any competent level when they inevitably get in deep shit again.

Not at least for the next five years.

omg I just realized Stephen A. Smith will be on WWE more now.

If all the other shit they've been doing doesn't convince you to steer away from WWE, that definitely should

"There's gotta be no other company besides WCW who abuse the 'loser must retire' stipulation" - @brianzane.bsky.social

They had Scott Hall lose a retirement match he wasn't even involved in at Bash at the Beach 2000, so this comment is entirely accurate.

No seriously, this.

I need Teyon to do Predator, Commando, Die Hard, Rambo, and fuck it even Tango & Cash as games.

I kinda like it because I can create a playlist to watch the shows and PPVs in order which is what I'm doing with WCW content.

Now if they would add the ECW stuff.

To watch WWE regularly in 2026 in the US:

$7.99 for Raw on Netflix

$82.99 for NXT & Smackdown on Youtube TV

$29.99 for PPVs on ESPN

$10.99 for NXT PPVs on Peacock (possibly)

$6.99 for LFG on A&E on FrndlyTV
____________

$138.95 at a minimum unless you sail the seven seas. Ridiculous.

WWE really went from selling these t-shirts so they could hawk a 10 dollar streaming app that was good for what it was for to selling 30 buck ESPN app where the PPV will still be riddled with advertisements on a shittier UI for classic content.

WWE wants how much and on what streaming app?
