The obsession with studio wrestling is wild. A friend of mine worked at Penn State when they would do the Monday night shows at the Bryce Jordan Center. The number of people that would emerge out of the hills and just blow wads of cash was insane. He said it was like some sort of Hillbilly Super Bowl. I know it's stereotyping but those were his words. The TV numbers must be wild.
Colin Cowherd calls wrestling fans booger eaters.
they lack the sophistication of the brie eating white wine sippers who watch the Masked Singer or The Bachelor every week...
I think a venn diagram of those two subsets of fans would overlap more than you think.
The reference had nothing to do with cop, doctor, and NCIS shows so I don't really understand your point.
He was able to retake control of the company because he owned the most voting shares of stock, then he turned around and sold it to the same company that owns UFC, I guess he was the CEO of WWE until the story on what he actually did to one of the women came out.
There's no way Netflix was unaware of any news when working that type of deal. If they were those lawyers need fired on the spot.
None. I don’t think Netflix cares or else they wouldn’t have made the deal. The wrestling fans are more worried about who’s going to win the title at Wrestlemania.
There are performance and ethics clauses that were likely violated and may have a detrimental effect on the "brand". Vince McMahon knew the issue and did not disclose it to his new owners. If I am Netflix, I go back and get some money based on that deception.
Just to be clear, the ACC’s TV deal brought in $445M last year, not $240M. It’s very likely that by the time the WWE’s Netflix deal starts in 2025, the ACC’s revenue from the ESPN contract will be around the same number.
