The UI for WWE on Peacock is so, so fucking bad. It's been said a lot already but it really can't be emphasized enough.

they should make the ui more like a vbulletin forum, or a torrent site

I think this Peacock move is going to bring a rise in WWE pirate sites of different kinds.

I'm just glad I lost interest in historical re-watches, trying to find anything consistently would be a nightmare.

I've been more likely to just pick a random show from any time period and watch it as a standalone, so I don't imagine that changing.

I've yet to purchase the Network.

Love my torrent sites/file sharing.

The stream quality on Peacock gets especially bad during Kevin Dunn's preferred bouncing repeated cuts.

None of their Law and Order shows do that, maybe they can get Dick Wolf to kick Kevin Dunn in the balls.

I haven't subbed to WWE network in almost a year but I had it from the beginning. I loved it. I'd often fall asleep to TNT or boring old shows. I watched a lot of the library. It's quite upsetting what they've done with Peacock. It should have been an untouchable right for Wrestling fans to have that library as accessible as it was. Maybe it will get back to or above that level but it isn't looking promising.

lol "untouchable right"

Peacock has no obligation to sell or rent us any rasslin at all. They own the rights to stream the shows and can do what they want with them.

Is it disappointing? Sure. But we're not owed any of it.

It really does annoy me how much footage they are sitting on that'll never see the light of day

As someone who enjoys screenshotting things while I watch it's near impossible on Peacock on my laptop bc the second it detects activity it pops up what I am watching and darkens the screen.

This never happened on the Network, and doesn't happen on Netflix or Hulu or Sling. It's lame.

Fitting with the theme of WM this year

And last year.

WWE owns a lot of the older stuff from the territories at this point, right? I'm guessing not a lot of that is being made available.

They don't even put out their own Championship Wrestling episodes from 84-86, let alone other Territories stuff.

Fight for the rights of every man

Considering this year's Mania is pirate themed, would be a bit ironic if that did happen.


Yeah that is one of the major downsides of having just 1 company holding almost all of the valuable and/or notable tape libraries for US wrestling.

Doesn't help that from a historian aspect, they are also somewhat unreliable as a trusted source due to the amount of revision they do to their own history and wrestling history under their control.

I get that a lot of 80's weekly t.v has a ton of music they'd have to remove, but it's been how many damn years and we still don't have the 1985 WWF Prime Time Wrestling's uploaded.


I STILL have a ton of WWWF/WWF footage that hasn't been put on the Network and the Network has been a thing since 2014.

it pissed me off when i clicked smoky mt wrestling and only had about 7 eps.

According to Andrade, the reason why Charlotte was suddenly pulled from RAW and Mania promotional stuff wasn't due to anything related to Andrade's issues in WWE nor her testing positive for COVID.

Instead it was due to a WWE doc misdiagnosed her as being pregnant during a recent medical checkup.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Charlotte got pulled from WrestleMania because a WWE doctor told her she was pregnant.<br><br>They went and got tests themselves.

Charlotte to AEW confirmed

Andrade really hated his last year in the company since he revealed he walked away from a $3 million deal with WWE.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Andrade unleashing a bombshell that his contract was worth 3 million a year that he walked away from</p>&mdash; MICRO THE MAIN MAN (@MicromanFever) <a href="https://twitter.com/MicromanFever/status/1376683378657869825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 29, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Even if that was misspoken and it was $3 million total for the entire contract, that's still a lot of cash he left on the table by leaving.

Also Adam Cole is a dead man walking the moment he gets called up to the main roster since Andrade also revealed even Triple H & co. thought he was too small to be seen as the NXT champ while Drew was there.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Andrade says it was never in the plans for him to become NXT champion. Says they thought Adam Cole was too small to wrestle Drew Mcintyre for the NXT title so they went with him to transfer the belt. lmfao</p>&mdash; MICRO THE MAIN MAN (@MicromanFever) <a href="https://twitter.com/MicromanFever/status/1376687998406955012?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 30, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

That's not what happened though, he is forgetting a full year and 3 other champions lol.

If he was just supposed to transfer the title from Drew to Adam Cole, what were Aleister Black, Tomasso Ciampa, and Johnny Gargano, middle men?

He also said he knows how to speak better English than foreign wrestlers like Asuka and... BROCK LESNAR!

Andrade is clearly confused :)

David Bixenspan brought up a similar issue with Andrade's timeline of Cole becoming NXT champ that got cleared up by replies he received afterwards.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Yeah, it sounds like plans just changed after Andrade won the title, especially since they introduced the North American title which Cole got to establish.</p>&mdash; Stimmy Screwball: Half-Vaccinated Edition (@ScrewballSq) <a href="https://twitter.com/ScrewballSq/status/1376691182944710660?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 30, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

What Andrade mentioned was the original plan for the Undisputed Era vs. Drew feud that got changed after Andrade got the belt that then got changed again because of NXT's plans for Cole with the new North American belt at the time.

Andrade took what should have been Cole's spot since both were heels but since NXT flip-flops title reigns between faces and heel, Cole needed to be a face to take it off of Andrade which NXT didn't want to do at the time leading to him becoming NA champ instead while the NXT title moved into the very long Ciampa vs. Gargano feud after Black's reign.

I thought Andrade only won the belt because Drew got injured in the match, I thought they “called an audible”?

Just like how NXT is doing a multi-man match on Night 1 of Takeover to determine the official challenger for the North American title on Night 2, WWE is doing something similar in idea for Mania 37.

Think Andrade was always meant to win but what changed was the plans for Drew afterwards in NXT since instead of him returning to NXT once he healed up, he got called up to the main roster instead.

That match against Andrade ended up being his last on the brand.

According to Jon Alba, the reason why ticket sales for Mania 37 were delayed was due issues with WWE being late signing the contract with Raymond James Stadium officials to hold Mania at their venue.

Signed on 3/16. Austin gonna come out and challenge the winner of Reigns/Edge/Bryan there and then, Hogan @ WM9 style.

Bad Bunny not get edited off the Network

I just heard about and watched Braun Strowman’s train sound effects.

How many sharks can one company jump?

Have you seen Matt Riddle's CGI birds or him making motorcycle noises while riding his scooter because they have been finding sharks right and left to jump over lately

..... Are the above two posts real?

Strowman does have train sound effects.

And Riddle does have birds.

Think y'all be pulling my chain

Holy shit I just watched the Braun train sounds.

Lmao amazing. I don't hate it.

No Lock Jaw, its all true. FACT



Also the sounds/graphics alone are getting more over than Christian's entire career.

"Yeah I know we're doing two nights of Mania but fuck you guys, you don't get to wrestle in front of fans for the first time in a year, not even on the kickoff show."

Are train noises any more ridiculous than an Alien Wrestle?

Not even trying to be a jerk, but there is zero difference to me.

I don’t think they’re doing matches on the Kick Off tbf.
