At the height of vaudeville, the bigger theaters used to run "continuous" shows - as soon as a show ended, it would restart again. The idea was that rather than having to arrive at the beginning, you could turn up at any point during the show, and you'd stick around until it looped back round to where you started, so no matter when you arrived you would always witness the entire show.

Can't imagine why I just thought of that.

I wouldn't be surprised if either this year's Post-Mania or NXT's debut on Tuesdays or possibly both end up suffering in ratings since that some major burnout WWE is risking with that very packed schedule.

Assuming the HoF event is 3 hours, both nights of Takeover are 2 hours each, and both nights of Mania are 3 hours each, that is around 23 hours of WWE content in the span of a little over a week.

erickman 03-11-2021 06:55 PM

i will watch peacock all week, i hope the hof is longer then 3 hours with 2 years of noms. they can do 2 of them tue since it is all on streaming they can be as long as they want on speeches. i can fast fwd the boring ones.

Mr. Nerfect 03-11-2021 06:59 PM

The WWE is generating content for Peacock. They will be doing more shows than usual. It’s worth $1 billion to them. They are just like extra television shows now. They will have some matches on them. The matches will be fine. Things go on.

You don’t have to like it, but there is no grand reason other than that. Peacock is paying for content.

erickman 03-11-2021 08:02 PM

yeah that is a win win for everyone peacock wants content, wrestling fans like only 6 bucks to watch wrestlemania, vince likes the money. podcasters might be mad if they are doing watch alongs and that old wrestle show is not on the network at the time.

You can get Peacock for $2.50 a month (for 4 months) at this link, for anyone interested:

I might watch NXT when it moves to Tuesday nights.

I don't plan on watching RAW post WM since it's not good and I don't watch SD as is...Tues/Wed could be my nights for wrestling. Anyone else feel similar?

Supreme Olajuwon 03-11-2021 09:10 PM

I’ve heard mixed reviews for Peacock for their Premier League coverage. Some say it works fine and others say it is completely unwatchable and lags.

slik 03-11-2021 09:11 PM

On my laptop I had to disable my adblock when I visit Peacock to get it to work...

Probably going to end up watching NXT live and catch Impact sometime afterwards in the week like I do with NXT these days.

If it wasn't for the pandemic really limiting the options for tv wrestling for a good while, was going to dump RAW and likely SD after last year's Mania for something else. SD managed to get better to be a keeper but haven't bothered to dump RAW yet out of bad habit.

Emperor Smeat 03-11-2021 09:31 PM

Everything about NBC and WWE's handling of WWE Network moving to Peacock seems like one big mess and all because both wanted to rush the move in time for Mania.

That recent FAQ released by NBC and recent report from The Verge didn't help either since that led to more growing perception of things being handled poorly.

According to Davey Boy Smith's daughter Georgia, WWE had plans at one point for a Terry Funk episode for their new WWE Icons documentary series.

British Bulldog is going to be spotlighted in the WWE Icons series on the WWE Network/Peacock streaming service. Georgia Smith stated that she was told Terry Funk was supposed to have an episode as well.

"They told me and I think I believe Terry Funk was in the lineup but I don’t know what happened with that, but they told me it was Davey [Boy Smith], Lex [Luger], Beth [Phoenix], Rob Van Dam, Yokozuna and Terry. So yeah, I was really excited about it."

According to the Observer Newsletter, WWE's current goal for Mania 37 is around 45,000 fans for each night which would be around 70% capacity.

If possible, their max goal would be around 75% capacity or around 48-50k for each night.

Vince and co. need a smack to the back of the head if they try to get that large of a number considering Florida and the rest of the US are still in a pandemic. Way too much risk right now, vaccines or not, to be even considering that large of a crowd in one place.

drave 03-12-2021 04:18 PM

Just wait over the coming weeks//months as the narrative is that it IS indeed over. It will be believed and this winter will be just as shitty, sadly. I want to be wrong.

Double smack to the back of their heads had they suddenly decided to change their minds and host Mania there instead.

Yeah I've seen a couple of their Mania weekend shows and they were great as the type to just chill and relax while watching. Also as a nice break from the usual overload of wrestling going on that week.

That's pretty much what they are since its not an actual wrestling promotion in a traditional sense but instead more like actual theater or performance actors portraying wrestling for shows.

Mainly due to the ad rates for wrestling shows generally being very low compared to other sports and entertainment shows. Took a ton of work by NBC just to convince a few higher level advertisers to purchase ad spots and sponsor WWE shows in recent years. Even then, NBC and USA Network are still been bleeding a ton of ad money with their WWE deals.

Even during WWE's height in the Attitue Era, they still struggled to get real high paying advertisers on board. Mostly due to wrestling's decades old bad rep with advertisers who mostly saw it mainly as just catering to the lowest denominator of customers in terms of purchasing power.

Its why NBC now wants NHL games on Wednesdays instead of NXT shows since the tradeoff for average viewership is nothing compared to the big increase in ad rates they would get in return.
