All Classic Episodes of Raw Leaving Peacock

[Smart Marx]

We’ll truly never know I guess if it would be ending or not now. All I know, I’m thankful for the move to Peacock while it was a thing (and still will be for PPVs anyway) cause if not, I still wouldn’t have Peacock If it never happened.

I am gonna miss having the footage by the way, so I agree it sucks. I just feel this would be happening even if the Peacock deal never came about. I’m sure it eventually ends up on Netflix anyways.

I actually just posted an update right above this. We actually do know. Peacock didn’t voluntarily pull anything except for NXT and RAW because they lost the TV rights to them. Everything else is staying up and if Netflix didn’t acquire Raw, they would still have it on Peacock and international fans would have WWE Network.

Either way, as someone who’s gotta limit the streaming services he has I’m still thankful for it. Peacock has had some shows and movies I would’ve had to miss if the move never happened, as I never would’ve gotten it.

Hard to say about the eventuality of Netflix, though. Without seeing it work on Peacock no way of knowing if Netflix picks it up and gives it a chance. I don’t think the Network goes anywhere without Netflix getting involved, though. Pretty confident on that. Just like Peacock is only removing content it lost rights to.

I’m glad you got Peacock though. Like I said I came around to it. I’ve been using Peacock and stopped paying for the international Network awhile ago. I’ll get used to Netflix too as long as they don’t be chodes and only put up selective content.

I’m actually kind of hoping the international side shows us a glimpse of what they’re planning on doing because if the international fans get the archive content first, I’ll be pretty happy with that and then I’ll just hope that that’s what they do in the US after the Peacock deal expires because as long as Netflix will do the archive content the entire WWE network should be somewhere together, whatever the name on the header is.

I’m also hoping the rumors are true that the international Netflix is gonna stream all the WWE shows live when they air because I’m just gonna watch everything through the international Netflix on my VPN at that point. I thought I was only going to get Raw with the US one, but then I found out about the possibility that I might just use the international version for smackdown and NXT and that would be awesome.

This is honestly such bullshit. The whole point of streaming was so you could watch anything in the library and not have to watch what they offer you like cable. Curated content is basically just just in demand. You didn’t have to watch what was playing, but it was still a selected playlist that changed every month and it sucked.

This is why I hated the move to Peacock. I feared this would happen. I eventually stopped fighting it and was fine with Peacock because at least they eventually got everything up, but I need a source where I can pull up any raw or nitro when I want at a moment’s notice.

Having everything on the WWE Network was just really great while it lasted. Now, splitting things between different streaming services is annoying and probably confusing to a lot of people.

I hated the Peacock move too. The WWE Network had a better interface.

I don’t hate this at all. WWE can also easily make extra money on YouTube with this.

that’s pretty good stuff. Might even drive up sales of YouTube Premium so the ads aren’t a problem lmao.

People: Why would WWE do this!?

As long as I have access to it, I can applaud WWE making as much money as they can.

I mean, it’s honestly smart. If they can get the Peacock money, then some Netflix money and then also put raw on YouTube and get the YouTube money. That’s just baller.

Unfortunately I'm more cynical about applauding a billion dollar corporation but that's just me

As long as they give me what I want, I’m generally pretty happy. Because they could’ve easily just said fuck it and not given us the old raws back at all.

I mean just going by the vault account so far, there's no way we're getting the entire raw library on YouTube lol that's wishful thinking

Personally, I watched most all the classic content I really wanted while the network was still whole so I'm not too pressed. But I don't really think we get full archives of much once the peacock deal ends, at best all the PPVs and just them.

I mean sure but I also think $Billion+ companies should be destroyed and broken up in general.

I’m just going by what’s been said.

If they decide to drop the TV archives, that’s just gonna be stupid in my opinion but maybe that’ll just be my hill to die on. If I have to go back to piracy, I will.

Yeah I don't know how he's "imagining" that just from what's happened at all so far lol I'd love to be wrong but I just can't imagine every episode of Raw ever being available for free on YouTube. Well maybe if they stagger releases so they can make it like an event lol but that would take years
