[Canadian Dragon]

Yes but on youtube, this would be actually making the company money

pretty much but they weren't getting paid for that

If TV is simulcast without an extra charge then I'm canceling YouTube TV. Raw will be on Netflix so I'd only need it for NXT and SmackDown and I'll just find those elsewhere

Chris I listened to most of the show too yesterday. I think if you read between the lines. Rampage is either dead or going elsewhere. he caught himself after essentially saying it lol

Yeah I think 3 hours of Dynamite is replacing it

I believe it's Netflix across the entire world

me too - which then makes shockwave not actually a fourth show so ppl can chill on too many shows spec

he mentioned too that Rampage was never in the plans - WBD basically "forced" them to do it

I don't know if that's accurate bc Tony Khan himself said Rampage (as it originally debuted) was a concept he'd fantasy booked with Dynamite for awhile. But tbf I never understood what sense that really made unless he just meant the actual names of the shows bc I highly doubt a Friday 10 pm show was his big plan when he was fantasy booking lol

I know 3 hours was taboo but I can for sure see him being a fan of rampage being the third hour like warzone used to be . yes even though he was a filthy wcw fan

 

[Chris]

Actually warzone was the second hour of Raw not 3. WCW was the 3 hour show in 98 and 99 so he probably is a fan but knew the IWC hated it for Raw so much so was scared to commit

damn you right I don't thin raw was ever 3 hours when i was a kid. am I crazy to remember a later air time than 8pm as well or mb that was just here

For NXT this only help if you watch live, but you can grab an OTA for that.
