If Regal had just started immediately would it be some massive improvement? A five minute sprint between Balor and Cole?

this is rhetorical, right

So you're basically saying a 5 minute Balor/Cole match is better than a 20 minute Balor/Cole match.

Yes. Three Iron Man matches have all ended in ties and every one of them immediately went to sudden death, not a week later.

Last I checked, all the overtimes were on PPV, not on TV limits, and the last one was 10 seconds and absolutely sucked.

Oh my God, then start it in the first hour.

And don't make the sudden death 10 seconds long.

You just make up these bullshit reasons to try justifying your points. These whatabouts, as if WWE doing other shitty booking means it's alright they keep booking shittily because we might otherwise get a different type of shitty booking.

Just have a good finish that everyone will be happy with. This isn't hard. If they gave a shit, we'd get that. You want to do Balor vs. Cole next week to try stealing views from your competitor? Then come up with a good reason that doesn't undermine the match you promoted would have a champion and then don't deliver on until later.

Shit man. You didn't even like the finish. Why are you arguing when you are in solidarity with everyone else that didn't like the finish? It's stupid dude.

I've literally quit this topic before so it's hard to imagine be just arguing my point and largely being done with it as a "meltdown."

There literally is a TNAism for everything.

The Bobby Roode/Styles Iron Man ends in a tie. So Cal Val leads the crowd in a "5 more minutes" chant.

They have those 5 minutes....next week on dynamite.

But at least that wasn't for a vacant title.

If they prepared overtime in advance for tv, for a match with a time limit...

A. It starts the show and you know right off there's a screwy finish. There's no excuse: no World Series/Stanley Cup/Super Bowl where you put your best match on first to draw in the crowd away from those events; no big surprise returns or huge feud to close out the tv to justify being later.

B. You have to start the match earlier because there is no overrun. "There's twenty minutes left in the show and only ten left in the match! Ugh something's gonna happen."

https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2020/09/exclusive-vince-mcmahon-threatens-to-punish-talent-engaging-674408/

Vince McMahon issued an edict this past week that talent can no longer "engage with outside third parties," which would presumably include platforms like Cameo and Twitch.

WWE held a call with talent last Sunday regarding the reinvention of the product. During the call, it was said that WWE owns the real names of talent, not just their character names.

McMahon followed up by sending a letter on Thursday. McMahon wrote that it was imperative that they promote and protect the brand in every conceivable way, and that talent have 30 days to stop engaging with third parties.

"Some of you are engaged with outside third parties using your name and likeness in ways that are detrimental to our company," McMahon wrote. "It is imperative that these activities be terminated within the next 30 days (by Friday October 2). Continued violations will result in fines, suspension, or termination at WWE's discretion."

McMahon wrote that the these actions are necessary as part of WWE's rebuilding process as they "enter the next phase of growth at WWE."

It will be interesting to see if this is legal in any way. WWE wrestlers are classified as independent contractors, which has been heavily criticized in the past by shows like HBO's Last Week Tonight.

If you support WWE, you are not helping any wrestlers you like. "We own your real name." Fuck you. The wrestlers won't do anything about this, even though they should. Stop supporting WWE. This is next level bullshit. People are saying that this might be because AJ Styles said that he had COVID on his Twitch stream. But this is all such bullshit.

Looking forward to Ryan Satin explaining to us that this isn't like North Korea.

Pretty sure it's just a bullshit tactic to justify wrestlers not making any money on their own because wrestlers are too afraid to say "No actually you don't own my name. I'm going to keep playing video games on Twitch." Like Vince and WWE haven't made up bullshit reasons before.

I mean, we'll see on October 2nd. Pretty sure this got leaked as a result of the wrestlers thinking it was bullshit.

The twitter for The Sweetz (channel run by Breeze, Corbin, and Shawn Spears) is still actively promoting the Twitch as of today, and Adam Cole hasn't said anything to suggest he's stopping soon from what I've seen this afternoon, so either it's not that serious or it hasn't hit NXT people yet.

EDIT: Of course I forgot Corbin isn't NXT. How dare I.
