Also saying the internet and streaming isn't accessible? Its 2022.
Uh he’s not to wrong there tbh. They are some places where you really can’t get great internet. At least here in America. It’s why people are worried about stuff moving to streaming

So Juice you don't think WWE needs to do better in building mainstream stars?

I don't think they've ever struggled with star power, as I've said before - we live in a very different world. With a lot more options in terms of media.

Tbf it sucks being an American with no decent internet, something you'd think the government would want everyone to have by now.

As someone who follows NASCAR, and talks of races being on Peacock during the NBC half of the year, I see plenty of the fans saying how the internet is horrible where they live and live streaming isn’t an option for them, and I believe it. Like lots of rural areas places still is hit or miss

Ok. Let's play this game.

Who do you like in WWE? When you see Elimination Chamber...Who do you recognize as Elimination Chamber "Champion"? Most would say EDGE. Me fucking Orton.

Ah. In that case tho, America is still parts of it. I only commented on America as I know we got shit Internet places here. Other counties might as well. Now yeah plenty of people can use it. But we can’t act like it’s not exactly gonna be a problem for some people.

I honestly think of Triple H - in those early days of the chamber, when I would be more likely to watch the product
