There's soooo many alternatives to WWE and AEW.
I went the extreme route and just watch old stuff. Much happier than hate watching current stuff. |
Any specific promotion for classic wrestling or just whatever you feel in the mood for watching that day?
|
I have my massive WWF house show collection which I watch quite a bit. I've got stuff that I added two years ago that I still haven't found the time to watch.
80's Memphis Wrestling is so much fun and a regular go to. Continental Wrestling is also a ton of fun. 82-85 Mid South Wrestling is also great. AWA is boring as shit. Their weekly t.v even prior to the ESPN deal was just so bleh. |
There's so much footage on YouTube that people have no idea about. It just requires some exploring.
If you're looking for stuff outside the WWF I would start with Memphis I LOVE Memphis. |

While not as far back in wrestling time, I've been thinking for a long while to start watching WCW Nitro from its start to end. Since I was mainly a WWF guy at the time, never had any real interest until very recently in watching the pre-nWo era of Nitro and most of Nitro's late era stuff I missed out on back then. Just haven't figured out yet where in my weekly watching schedule to pencil in the time for Nitro or if I want to actually drop RAW or Smackdown for it. |
I’ve been watching Mid Atlantic episodes on the WWE network lately.
|
Also some of the mid south stuff. I love Ernie Ladd on commentary.

I also do long stretch projects like watch all the 97 Raws in order or the 98 WCW Worldwide episodes in order. Depends on the mood. |
The Rock and his family have tested positive for COVID-19

It's so much fun. It's the one promotion where I can just watch a random show and enjoy it immensely without knowing what's going on. Wild and crazy show. Stuff like this for example. So much fun. Lance Russell was so great.

Loved this. I watched that show many years ago over the course of a week. Couple hours a sitting. It was a great show, but holy fuck you could not pay me to watch it in one sitting. |
Apparently AJ Styles was among those in WWE who tested positive for the coronavirus during last month's outbreak at the Performance Center.

Seems WWE might be planning for NXT to have live fans return by mid-December based on recent ticket sales listings.

Vince should just give up planning WM for outdoors in Los Angeles
I can see them having fans by WM but no way they'll have it at SoFi Stadium. |

It's better for everyone if they're on separate nights. With DVR (and NXT originally being an exclusive to WWE Network), "ratings wars" are kinda obsolete. Plus if rasslin fans want to watch, they will - it just may not be while the show airs.
Someone on Twitter suggested NXT move to Thursdays because of Impact on Tuesdays. Not gonna lie, I completely forgot which night Impact aired. |

WWE are not going to want Dynamite to go unopposed if it’s a night they could run. AEW doing “fine” outside it’s is usual slot is not necessarily a great thing. Networks thinking wrestling fans will follow this (and them possibly being right) is carte blanche for them to do what they want.
I can see TNT moving Dynamite to a Thursday and then WWE counterprogramming that too. |
|
Wow wait wtf shit huh??
|
well, time to go bleach my eyes

Outside of Saturday, no other date would make sense to move AEW since they'd either be looking at seasonal preemption due to NBA (Tues & Thurs), direct competition from WWE's main shows (Mon & Fri plus some Sun), or direct competition from NFL (Mon, Thurs, Sun). Wednesday is still the ideal day between the two since its the stronger night for ratings. |

Wonder how much Viagra it takes to offset the Boner killing visuals in this Towel. |
Vickie Guerrero is in AEW now?
Who is the other braud? |

Sting, Hogan, and Flair would be in my list but would need more time to really decide on the other two. Currently leaning towards DDP and Goldberg as my choices for the other spots. |
Seems WWE went nuclear on their talent being allowed to have Twitch channels and other third party accounts on the side. A bunch of WWE talent owned Twitch channels got taken down today.
Wouldn't be surprised if this was all AJ Styles fault since he mentions a lot of stuff during his Twitch streams that WWE would probably wished would be kept private instead like outing the beef he had with Heyman and him testing positive for the coronavirus. Quote:

Wtf...AJ had an awesome stream!

Vince needs to eat a dick, theyre supposodly "independent contractors" so what they do in their own time has fuck all to do with him.
Unless he wants to call them employees, if so I hope he has a few hundred million in cash sitting around on standby. Mad old cunt. |
Seems the part of WWE going as far as trying to claim ownership of their talent's real names for outside stuff while under contract wasn't correct based on another update from Fightful but everything else in WrestlingInc's original report was true.
Also some talent within WWE were okay with the company's recent power move based on those Fightful talked to. |
Vince thinks he’s one step away from legitimately owning them

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just a little reference on how lucrative Twitch is for some of them: Paige had about 15K concurrent subscribers. For sake of argument let's presume they're all Tier 1. That means she is pulling minimum $45,000 a month if she had a 3/5 split. Imagine that just disappearing.</p>— Chris Denker (DenkOps) (@thechrisdenker) <a href="https://twitter.com/thechrisdenker/status/1302023756282499075?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 4, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Using $45k as a basis, Vince's new edict would cost Paige around $540k for a year's worth of extra pay on the side just from Twitch. |

The twitch/tiktok/cameo thing is so shitty
I'm sure it is all about $$$, not the content Vince sees talent getting $ that he doesn't have a cut of, freaks out and fucks a lot of them over. I wonder if this ends Asuka's YT channel too. |

I'd be furious if my job classified me as an independent contractor while not allowing me to work elsewhere (rasslin or otherwise) to make money, and without giving me health insurance.
What a bunch of shit. |
