it's something i'm going to look into subscribing to, but what do those of you here think about the WWE Network shutting down and moving to Peaco*k ??

Great deal for WWE, probably a bad deal for Peacock

Like Albert is in charge and that dude actually understands what you need to do to stand out. He had a successful run in Japan before this. SDR was successful around the world and knows what you need to do to be successful. And Norman Smiley was huge in Mexico before WCW. It's just weird all of these people who know to be successful you need to do more than the static WWE style, but here we are.

This might be a chicken and egg argument, but if their job is to prepare them for the taste of the guy that runs the main roster, maybe theyre doing their job right

The analogy I often see used is like NFL coaches demanding players fit into their schemes no matter their strengths and weaknesses, instead of building schemes around their strengths

You wouldnt put Lamar Jackson in the same offense Drew Brees used, but WWE tries to make Ricochet wrestle like Elias

From the new Observer

While this hasnt been promoted, when it comes to time, Mansoor has one of the longest unbeaten streaks of anyone in modern wrestling. His last loss was August 23, 2019 on a house show in Sanford, FL to Dominik Dijakovic (T-Bar). Due to the pandemic, hes only had 45 matches since that date

THE STREAK

I have seen literally no actual alternative deserving winners discussed by all these people who think AEWs wins are unfair

3 exceptions:

1.) Rey Fenix winning Mexico MVP mostly off of work in America. Someone actually working in Mexico should have won. Fair

2.) Kenny Omega winning Most Outstanding. It was the closest race of all this year in any category as he narrowly edged out Kota Ibushi. If you want to say Ibushi should have won, but people are biased towards Kenny because of his new character (which shouldnt be taken into account in this category), thats reasonable.

3.) Excalibur winning Best Announcer. I have no problem with it but ironically Dave himself did and posted his case for why Kevin Kelly should have won, something he did for any other award, lol.
