Raw Live Raw discussion thread, January 6th 2025: Raw is Netflix. 2 big matches announced

[OsBlaze]

TNA owners own the network they're on, NWA is the drizzlin shits and MLW is so low tier that TV wouldn't want it.

MLW is great though

 

[Grim]

I'm just saying, it must be nice to be a billion dollar company and have the lion's share of television time while actively cutting out the lower companies.

MLW is great though

They air the show on youtube. Saw one. It's not bad. But it is so low tier.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

What is this analyst nonsense. He’s the color commentator dammit.

 

[Jacob Fox]

I am absolutely sure they think it is nice

dude these networks don't WANT the other companies regardless of any other company. They are shitty TV products.

A tv deal would help them improve that. Doesn’t gotta be a huge network. But getting on tv would be nice.

Yeah not to mention MLW got a huge ass settlement, so they could easily pay for TV time

To be fair, moving their show off of television to Netflix opened up some large spots for other people. The problem is they’re just so used to working with WWE. They’re not really negotiating with anyone else.

 

[OsBlaze]

Like shit. Thrown them on Fox Sports 2

 

[Grim]

It's not even like NWA actually sucks by the way, Chris and I were talking about it the other day.

I mean idk if it really did since the network that lost Raw, still has Smackdown. So it didn’t open up much, other than maybe Fox putting something on FS1 or FS2.

 

[Grim]

Billy Corgan is just legit awful at negotiating stuff

I just don’t know why MLW can’t just have a two-day taping where they do the PLE on Triller live and then the next day they tape a month’s worth of fusion because I just can’t stay interested in MLW when they only have one television show a month.

 

[Jimmy King]

Been a solid match so far
