Last year's go-home RAW for WM - 1.92 million

This year's go-home RAW for WM - 1.70 million

ok that's what i figured.

I mean am I thinking about this correctly, but why would Vince and co care about who's streaming their PPV's anymore? Unless there's some behind the scenes shit with NBC we don't know about. To me, all that really matters now for the PPV's is the tickets they sell to fill the arenas.

Yeah that was one of the big disputes Vince had with WWE' former Co-President since he wasn't interested in their data analysis stuff being the focal point for the WWE Network and instead all he cared was how to make the most money from it.

Its why the moment WWE was able to find a buyer for their service, they ditched the idea of running a service on their own and content consumption driven stuff for a brand new big bag of money.

Vince isn't going to care if NBC is going to lose a ton of money with the WWE Network under their management since all he cares is more money now going into his pockets. With the special discount deal NBC is running, they would need around double of the Network's current subs to break even if everyone took up on that $5 per month offer.

wonder how many new viewers peacock got in the last 2 weeks?

Preview for tonight's RAW After Mania Show:

WWE forgot to upload one on their website for tonight's show.

:| at the show starting off with an "earlier today" video involving Riddle being a dumbass again backstage.

This new announcer guy for RAW sounds dull. Like he doesn't have the delivery or style to be the main announcer for a wrestling show.

Hopefully its just him getting adjusted to a new role and not how its going to be from now on for RAW shows.

Let’s go Adnan

so is bobby a face for beating up riddle? i get a marko stunt vibe from riddle an love watching him get his ass kicked

New ThunderDome venue really is tiny compared to the other ones since instead of spacing out the rows for the virtual fans, its all crammed together now.

Makes it feel like they are back in the Performance Center for shows now.

What happened to Samoa Joe?

Going back to the ThunderDome after finally getting fans back is already such a buzzkill.

It’s for the best of course...gonna be at least a few more months before the vaccine numbers are at a point where large scale indoor gatherings might feel safe, and that’s if there’s not a setback with variants etc.

But man, getting that taste of normal wrestling again felt so good.

ether moved to smackdown or cleared to wrestle.

Adnan and Joe would be a great combo

He got moved back to the active roster according to PWI.

oh hey the viking raiders are back

Wonder if they are going to go back to telling us how Ivar is good looking and Erik, not so much :rofl:

raiders back

:y: Viking Raiders back together

Holy hell Ivar got extra fuckin big

Not a knock on him, dude had neck surgery and I’m stoked he’s back. But god damn that’s a big lad.

Viking Raiders vs. Cedric & Shelton was pretty good.

:lol: at the "Oh Baby" line by the new announcer. Sort of hope that's his catchphrase for matches since its both hilarious and way better than any of Cole's catchphrases.

Gonna try to watch Raw tonight... Interested in hearing the new commentator

I give Adnan six months. Either he's shit, or he gets fed up of Vince McMahon bellowing down his earhole for three hours every Monday night.

This guy seems OK so far... sounds like a boxing commentator, which is good... Feel like he will be ground down into a horrible Michael Cole type soon

Wish Tom Phillips would replace Vic Joseph..........

That feels about right based on everyone who's worked in that role and/or interviewer role. Its really fun at first but then WWE just grinds and sucks out all of the enjoyment from the job after some time.

A big key will be if Graves can manage to behave in commentary and doesn't revert back to his old annoying commentary style. Renee hinted that one of the reasons why she hated being on RAW commentary.

wish there was a crowd......

lol charlotte burying asuka.

Was Charlotte's legs that thin before?

She almost looks like a lifelike Barbie doll right now.

Nyomi

no more humble charlotte??? when has her character ever been humble?

Welp, they're doing the Asuka vs. Rhea rematch tonight so they can make way for the "real star" to get the next title shot

Adnan guy has a major radio "morning zoo guy" voice... might start annoying me

This new Charlotte Flair sounds and acts just like the old one.

Pretty much just her bitching about others offending her simply for daring to take some of the spotlight while she was away. Barely any different than her usual promos from before.

She looks nothing like she did just 2 years ago at Mania 35.

:lol: at Ripley's big boot to Asuka's butt

Either she botched doing a drop kick or Adnan botched the call.

Adnan guy sounds like the radio guys from the Simpsons (stereotypical radio guy voices).......

That was weird.

Don't think I've ever seen Asuka botch a move before in WWE. Either that or Rhea screwed up moving away from a dropkick in time.

Scratch that, this match has been a bit messy. Something is off between the two tonight.

This match feels even more boring than their match last night

Sigh.
