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

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.

USA at one point had both raw and SmackDown. They could add another television show if they wanted to plus you’re forgetting fox lost SmackDown and they haven’t picked up anyone else.

Been a solid match so far

No surprise here

 

[Grim]

You don't even need to do major channels for wrestling tbh

Sir. I mentioned Fox, saying they could add one of these smaller companies to FS1 or FS2.

Good timing on that Spear. These two working well together

 

[Grim]

Ion, Paramount, A&E, Bravo, AMC, IFC, FS1, FS2, ESPN2 all could easily have some wrestling on there with a little initiative.

They could do that too, but I meant fox proper. Because that was my point was that this entire new round of television opened up some pretty large spots that if these companies wanted to they could fill them and they’re just not interested.

I could only see AEW maybe getting on Fox Fox. TNA, NWA, MLW, etc, would definitely need to settle for one of two lower channels.

Man it's a shame that none of these companies everyone wants on National Television provide a viable television product. These TV networks aren't gonna give up TV time for low rent, low rate garbage. Right now WWE and AEW, and to a lesser extent TNA are viable TV products.

Uso winning with his brain

 

[Jacob Fox]

That was amusing

 

[Jimmy King]

Good stuff that match

Do you not realize that getting a tv deal would get these companies money, to uh.. you know improve that? Guess not.

 

[Grim]

Just cuz the companies got people you've never heard of doesn't mean they're low rent either

 

[Keith]

Nice match. Not so keen on the finish
