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

Genuine question; is she an alien, like the commentators accept that she’s an alien, or does she think she’s an alien?

Either way, this sucks.

I definitely think that next year, making Mania reasonable length again and not stretching to get everyone on the card would be a good thing. Not everybody needs a Mania payday.

But whilst I don't care about these two matches, given the circumstances of the past year I think it'd be nice to let everyone get a chance to be in front of fans again.

XL 04-01-2021 05:09 PM

I actually like the 2-day thing, makes Mania stand out from every other PPV. I’d take 3.5-4 hours each night over 7-8 hours for one show.

They accept it, she is an alien, the same way they accept that the dinosaur is actually a dinosaur.

"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."

Current rumor going around is that WWE wants the first cheers with fans back to be very special which is why they are leaning towards no matches on the Kickoff show for Night 1.

Not even NXT is getting that special treatment since TakeOver is being done at the Performance Center.

Knowing WWE, Hogan's probably getting that special crowd treatment since him and Titus are the hosts this year but he's probably getting the big elaborate entrance first.

Emperor Smeat 04-01-2021 06:51 PM

DX's parody of the Nation involving them wearing blackface and Kurt Angle comparing Booker T's wife to animal and wanting bestiality sex with her got the axe treatment by NBC for the WWE Network on Peacock.

Apparently, the video package for Angle/Booker T at Judgment Day 2005 is gone as well. This isn't on Peacock yet as far as I can tell, but it's allegedly gone from the WWE Network version. I can't check anymore but the video is four minutes shorter.

Questionable or not, I really hate them cutting out the buildup of matches.

Edit: Apparently the DX/Nation parody segment is gone from Raw too

RAW has taken a very different tone the last month, I've been speculating that WWE is beginning to transition RAW to a kid's program.

I mean it makes sense, they have to try and get younger/newer fans at some point. It wouldn't shock me if RAW got a kid-friendly logo soon and Peacock promoted stuff from it more to kids. They'll lose a lot of older viewers doing this (it was notable the 50+ demo dropped throughout RAW more than usual this week) but they'll lose viewers each year regardless.

Emperor Smeat 04-01-2021 11:29 PM

That's an interesting idea and would help explain some of RAW's direction in recent months like Riddle's character in general and New Day leaning even more heavy in the goofball direction post-Big E split.

Only problem is WWE already saw what happened when they shifted into a strong kids direction during the Cena era. Ended up with kids and younger viewers not sticking around after a while and failing to form a strong new core for their fanbase. Probably will also hurt NXT more than help on Tuesdays since when people decide to drop RAW, they usually don't move over to NXT or SD and instead become lost for good.

According to Triple H, Night 1 of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver won't feature commercial breaks on the Peacock stream unlike the USA Network version of the show.

Probably going to be like how AEW airs Dynamite on TNT and FITE with FITE just continuing airing matches during full breaks. Non-match breaks likely being mostly just backstage shots of wrestlers doing final pre-match stretches and walking to the entrance way.

Emperor Smeat 04-02-2021 10:10 PM

Unless WWE suddenly adds more matches at the last minute, this year's Mania card is on pace to just miss tying last year's Mania card in terms of number of matches.

Last year's Mania card had 18-19 matches depending on how you counted the Big Show vs. Drew match for the WWE title.

This year's card currently has 12 matches announced for both main card shows, 14 overall if you count the two Mania tier matches for next week's SD, and 16 overall if you also count the two rumored Women's Tag title related matches that have yet to be announced.

6 or 7 matches per night is all that is needed, that is a 3 to 3 and half hour shows. now peacock has the show for so cheap mainia can be shorter.
