RAW from England

[BoysFan4ever]

i watched most of last night's show...it was ok..

Different buzz from those fans.

Great match between Dolph/Neville.

Too bad for Roman. Still stuck with Show. I kept waiting for Show to go thru the top of that car when he was standing there.

Bray is just useless. Who ever knows what the heck he is talking about.

I think the UK is the hottest place for wrestling right now. They just don't have a promotion with big time $$$ to take advantage of it. Right now I think it is to wrestling as what the Philadelphia/NJ/NYC area was to wrestling in the 90's.

I agree with Cena the UK deserves a PPV but not necessarily a WM.

I have no clue what creative is doing with Wyatt but I know they completely wasted all their time and efforts on the Wyatt family from last year.

Of all things they loved that Fandango guy when he started dancing.

I thought I read that the WWE can't or won't do a PPV in the UK anymore due to the time difference and how quick the internet have grown. When WWE did have PPVs in the UK, the show took place hours and sometimes days prior for U.S. people to see it. That wasn't a problem then but now people can spoil the results of the show for the U.S. viewers which would mean less profit.

Fandango got his popularity from them the RAW after his Wrestlemania debut. I read reports that a lot of UK fans were in attendance when they held the Wrestlemania in New York and they stayed for RAW. The chants started with them and there were youtube videos of them doing the chants all the way to the subway station.

Just schedule a PPV on a Sunday afternoon. They just had WM in the daylight for crying out loud. Profit from a PPV doesn't matter any more with WWEN so I don't see the problem. If anything, that would greatly increase subscribers from Europe.

Europe is not the issue. The issue is broadcasting live to the United States. If there was a tape delay, someone from Europe can easily spoil the matches for anyone from the U.S. that want to watch it at it's regular time. Back when they had SS 92, One Night Only 97, or those Rebellion PPVs, that wasn't an issue.

If they do schedule a PPV on a Sunday afternoon like Falcons Lions, there will be many complaints from fans that couldn't watch the event due to early start on WC and conflicting with church or other morning activities on the east coast.

Kane appears about ready to be a good guy again...

He's been working out. Lost weight.

Big Show gained the weight Kane is losing.

I still don't understand. I see live soccer matches every weekend. If people in the USA want to watch they will.

lol...

Soccer is your example?

Of course you see them here cause no one cares about soccer here so if it's on delay it's not really getting spoiled for anyone.

Two totally different things.

I do understand where you're coming from though. They deserve a PPV but I get why it's not likely to work out for them at this point.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Soccer is your example?

Sure is, what is the difference? It's a live event. I also think you are greatly dismissing how popular soccer is in this country. I don't watch or follow it but I know there are millions that do. Give the UK a PPV and if people want to read the spoilers and take the surprise element out of it, that is on them. Show it live and let people see it that way if they want. Replay it in the evening.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

They sell out PPV's I think.

No need to take them out of the U.S.

That's bad for business..

A PPV in UK would sellout in literally minutes.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I'm sure it would but with much more expense to them right?

keep those at home & go over there like they do now.

I don't watch them anyway..i can read the results & go to YouTube to watch Seth...I can't miss him...

 

[BoysFan4ever]

btw guys I read today Bryan has been pulled from this European swing because of health issues. Don't know how reliable those boards are!

but his neck & all..you have to wonder

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yes. It definitely would but I do believe the cost would be more to WWE but I don't know how much more it would be and if that would be a big factor against it or not.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yes. It definitely would but I do believe the cost would be more to WWE but I don't know how much more it would be and if that would be a big factor against it or not.

Cost would easily be covered by a large number of additional subscribers to their network. I expect to see a PPV in Canada or Mexico in the next few years also.

Pretty good RAW last night although they telegraphed SETH being stuck in the cage with Randy..why else have the cage?

I like the new Fandango. His leg drop move is wicked.

Dolph was good with Seth.

That RKO SETH took was well done. He & Randy work really well together.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I was wondering what everyone thought about Seth's finishing move Curb Stomp being banned.

Just guessing the WWE higher ups must have thought it was to much for PG.

I didn't know that...it's sure not as bad as some of what they do.

Wth?

He's real athletic...he can come up with something else surely.

So they let them throw each other into ladders...they cannot be faking...that has to hurt ALOT..But Seth cannot pretend to do that stomp?
