Full ownership of the Rock trademark now.

 

This is definitely something

 

Weird morning so far for WWE huh

 

holy shit

 

10 years for 5 billy

 

Aside from finally leaving cable TV, getting the rights to air every WWE show for countries outside the U.S. is massive for international fans.

 

Absolutely wild. Didn’t expect that at all.

 

can finally get rid of peacock next year

 

Oh damn

 

Yeah, looks like they'll be finally getting rid of the network overseas too.

 

Maybe a dumb question but… does this mean they could go back to 2 hour Raw episodes? If they stay at 3 hours don’t they legitimately now need 3 hours of content for Raw since there won’t be commercials?? They don’t even have legit 2ish hours of content most weeks

 

the rock has been on the board for about an hour and he does this he is truly the tribal chief

 

This is just for Raw. This doesn't seem to include PPVs, which presumably will still be Peacock.

 

im not sure there won't be commercials. if anything, it'll probably still be advertised as 3 hours but they may be more lenient with it. time will tell

 

It includes PPVs internationally. VPN will get you access to them

 

If Max doesn't start putting up AEW content soon, then wtf are you doing WBD?

 

Wow

 

apologies for drewing myself

 

Trying to be a wrestling fan without cable or a live TV streamer is very hard. So any wrestling on streaming is good in my book.

 

“Hello, Mr Okada? How would you like to wrestle on Netflix?”

 

they're getting nearly $10m per episode

end capitalism

 

Massive.

Will be interesting to see this Raw go unadvertised and lost in the algorithm like the rest of Netflix’s content.

 

AEW needs to get on a streamer

 

Saw a reddit post of Meltzer talking about AEW drawing less than 2k for live shows which is "WCW 2000 bad"

a lil worried
