This wasn't the workrate era.

 

[Chris]

I rate Austin's brawling during this era as top tier so he's failing at it though

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I was even saying to Grim because TEW wanted 60% matches, but legit in 2001 the average Raw has 40% matches.

 

[Chris]

But I was back on board with Taker by the time Big Evil started for the most part, takes me a little bit tho

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I wonder how soon I should unmask Kane or do I never unmask him?

Austin is the GOAT so no lie there.

 

[Chris]

Grim wouldn't let you edit the product?

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Grim wouldn't let you edit the product?

No, he did. He agreed to 50% which is fair enough.

 

[Chris]

Oh wait I don't think you can bc it effects all our shows not just one, I'm not sure though bc I've never actually played a TEW game with a brand extension so idk if you can separate them

 

[Chris]

Ah okay that's good. I know you can make distinctions for TV and PPV at least so 50/50 for TV is definitely fair

as far as I know, you can't

 

[Chris]

I'll check if you can in 2020 at some point

I was basing this on Raw in 2001 so Raw and Thunder should both be 50-50. IDK about ECW, but you should be fine.

So Chris, what is your opinion on if I should unmask Kane or not at any point, not right now but like, at some point? Cause I'm already pass when he got unmasked as it is.
