It would take 9 figures to shake things up.

The initial outlay is just too offputting given how risky it is to make wrestling a profitable venture.

I mean, if I had 100-200m, I'd have a lot safer options than wrestling to make money!

The people rich enough to compete with WWE, are also so rich they would rather buy a sports team.

What's better, owner of the Chicago Cubs/L.A Dodgers or WWE's Bellator?

PoT I feel is at Hikaru no Go levels of influence, it pushed something onto the youths strongly and was a fun read/watch, but it ultimately never had the same cultural impact Tsubasa had.

Slam Dunk just comes off as this phenom, I swear if Inoue did Slam Dunk 2, the volume would outsell HxH's from the get go and HxH is elite level stuff in the sales game.

The argument is kinda sound.

You have a lot of platforms right now competing for content against the big TV networks.

Amazon and a few others are trying to get into the soccer game. Dave's argument is that if UFC jumps ship from Fox to a competitor, it creates a huge content gap that needs to be filled. It does hinge a lot on what the UFC is going to do, but we now have a good number of suitors desperate to obtain live TV content and it plays into the hands of the UFC and WWE.

Crunchyroll Black Clover ads were all over my internets, though seems like they banked on western audiences liking it more. For Japan, I remember Toriko getting a big push.

Though the real WSJ we gotta hype up on Board 8 is Saiki Kusuo, great manga and the adaptation provided some good laughs.

Watched Violet Evergarden, it was ok, but you gotta let these kinds of things play out a bit more. Might actually be better as a binge type show since the first ep seemed to be a slow build type of story.

For first impressions, there's been a few KyoAni shows that did better but let's see.

The Melancholy of Harumi Suzumiya (broadcast order first ep)
Hyouka
Sound Eupho
Clannad
Chuu2
Amaburi
Maid Dragon
Kanon
Free!
Nichijou
FMP
Violet Evergarden
Lucky Star
K-On
Phantom World
Air
Beyond the Boundary
Tamako Market

This is just how strongly I felt about the first eps, actual series ranking is a good deal different and a few of these shows I never finished.

I guess the main takeaway is that Jericho wasn't an undercover agent that would bring Omega to WWE for the rumble and Mania. Though this new deal means Omega is unavailable for the 2019 Rumble even if he did get poached.

2nd big takeaway from this week's WON. Meltzer is just putting the speculation out there, but the conditions seem very favourable for WWE getting a new TV deal worth $400m a year. He's not reporting it happening, just giving a lay of the land and the current climate makes this look more than possible. $400m a year being double what they currently receive, means they could crush every single other federation in America, Mexico and Japan in less than two years via talent raids.

They could really just turn all promotions with a TV deal into their subsidiaries.

Congrats to Gabe he got his wish, now he won't be able to cause career ending injuries by being too cheap.

and looks like I was wrong, I'll take the L on that one, but Omega will be with NJPW until at least 2019. I thought he would make the jump this year, but looks like he's got another G1 in him.

I think Ore Monogatari was soma's main challenger at the time.

Mac makes a great point on HxH.

Heck HxH 11 probably challenges hard in the later years.

Fate/zero 1st season coulda won, but I don't see the 2nd season doing nearly as well.

How else would he be so knowledgeable about the indie guys when they get called up for big feuds on RAW/Smackdown.

He's on more than one occasion called Cesaro, Claudio. So obviously he followed his career through the indies.

Went through what Anime stuff the Amazon Prime now has to offer.

It really jumps at you, how Crunchyroll isn't capable of entering the anime movie sweepstakes.

Sure AS was a failed experiment, but I gotta wonder if the anime crowd is similar to the wrestling demographic in the west. As in, it's one of the fanbases that isn't high income and kinda just relies on a smaller hardcore fanbase that spends big on the product.

When I go to Japan and watch say Doraemon or Shin-chan, the commercials can include insurance, cars, banking basically stuff targeted towards people with $$, I don't think in the west they'd attract those companies.

Though Doraemon/Shin-chan/Sazae-san are outliers, the other anime stuff doesn't seem to be drawing that key demo, but there's still good money to be made.
