"We’re thrilled with the performance of WWE programming as a whole. From the start in January to now, it’s just been everything we could hope for and more, and a really great partnership.” - Netflix VP Of Sports Gabe Spitzer

>e-tard gets worked by corporate pr article

They don't have access to the real numbers like Meltzer does.

>>18613814
Why would they put out this article if they weren't impressed?

>>18613809 (OP)
any relation to the legendary Eliot Spitzer?

>>18613817
we don't need Meltzer. we have Spitzer now.

>>18613814
Where is the PR from WBD? They are thrilled with the numbers per WOR but haven't released any details about the latest deal they signed last year or mentioned any success on cable or Max.

>>18613809 (OP)
Why doesn't anybody be from WBD talk about AEW like this? We don't even get the fake PR releases that Sapp wrote in his notes app saying how the numbers were good.

>>18613809 (OP)
>>18613814
NO! SHUT UP! NETFLIX IS LYING! THEY'RE LYYYYYYIIIIING

>>18613809 (OP)
>EVERYTHING IS FINE

It's like watching a presser from the Lehman Brothers KEK

>>18613839
kek meltzer is having a melty

>>18613809 (OP)
Smarkbros, our narrative...

>>18613809 (OP)
Sure…

>It's like watching a presser from the Lehman Brothers KEK

>Sure

>>18613884
Smarks are always wrong and then cry about it then afterwards

This is a desperation response to stockholders asking if it were worth it. We might actually reach a situation where Netflix simply buys out the remainder of the deal & let's them run off to ESPN. Go ahead & cap this.

Fuck you, bitch

Meanwhile in reality, Netflix is incredibly happy with Raw. Which makes sense considering it's live content that ranks in the top 10 literally every single week.

>>18613809 (OP)
Nobody cares about TV ratings when you can get all the good stuff on Youtube in 10 minutes. Why sit through 3 hours? What are you a boomer?

>>18614335
Cap it then if you're so confident. They've already done exactly the scenario I described this very week, you don't think NBC was relieved to see the PLEs walk away?

You can tell who dropped out of middle school on /pw/ so easily.

>>18614366
Remember when you said TKO stock would never reach $90 a share and now they doubled that?

>>18614345
>Why watch a movie when you can read the synopsis on Wikipedia?

>>18614345
>Why sit through 3 hours?
You sit through 6 hour AEW PPV's that feature Wasabi Joe vs Twink Garcia for the Unified Eastern Central Coastal Midway Championship.

>>18614366
>you don't think NBC was relieved to see the PLEs walk away?
Once again the PLE's have not left NBC. They are on Peacock exclusively, their streaming platform of 41 million, as they always have been. The WWE content is made to drive subscriptions to that platform, just like ESPN is trying to use them to drive subscribers to their new app.

>>18614366
>Cap it then if you're so confident.
Cap what?

>>18614388
So? The stock market clearly does not show the actual economic disaster happening in America right now. It's just Ari, Nick, Dana, & Dwayne draining the coffers of 3 separate companies before they sell off the dregs. It's the typical private equity story & you're just too stupid to understand it.

>>18614434
The non-NXT PLEs are exclusively on ESPN now. They are no longer on Peacock.

Please, I beg of all you here: read shit instead of just getting quick hits on YT or Tiktok. It's killing what little brain cells you already had remaining.

>>18614449
His legs.

>>18614467
>So? Who cares that I was wrong like I always am
You're such an lolcow

>>18614497
Misquote me on purpose then declare victory? It at least used to be fun debating you braindead fucks before the brain fog took what little was left.

Give me some shit other than just calling me a name. It's all you have and it shows how little you actually know of the world.

>>18614467
The problem is unlike you, the majority of people are not poor and only interested in watching wrestling. That cope where Dave says and AEW did poor because of the NFL, NBA, NHL, Women's Pickle game of the week? There is no crossover between people who watch that shit and AEW. There is crossover for that shit and WWE. That is why people buy packages to go see its major shows like Summerslam and spend thousands to travel, and AEW has to offer a free burger with a ticket. The point is that those people don't mind shelling out for the ESPN app because theyve been asking for it. Everyone expected ESPN+ to be the app that would have games and shit and it didn't. There are people who have cable merely because they want ESPN and their games. Now they have it on streaming. The WWE shows are a great bonus for them. No one is going to mind spending $30 for ESPN, Disney and Hulu. Want Peacock? It's like $5 more. If you can't spend $35 a month maybe you should stop posting on a wrestling board all day and prioritize your life.

>>18614467
Look at this complete retard trying to pretend like he knows anything about the stock market lmao
>The stock market clearly does not show the actual economic disaster happening in America right now.
There is no economic disaster happening in America right now. That's why the stock market's doing well. You're hallucinating a non-existent catastrophe.
> It's just Ari, Nick, Dana, & Dwayne draining the coffers of 3 separate companies before they sell off the dregs. It's the typical private equity story & you're just too stupid to understand it.
You're typing strings of words without knowing what they mean.

>>18614523
There is more crossover from normies with WWE ala they get slaughtered by Monday Night Football every single year as Triple Nose also takes the season off. Like how you leave that out. ESPN is going to treat it like shit once they actually understand what they get, and you do not get all that access with the $30 a month deal, just ESPN like it was cable.

>>18614538
This is all just bias. Walmart straight up just said they are going to have to pass all the tariff shit on to the consumer today. The financial crisis is here & you better get used to eating paper. You accuse me of just typing a string of words but that's what you did. You freaked out & just started shouting nothingness, because you have nothing and never will.

>>18614566
>There is more crossover from normies with WWE ala they get slaughtered by Monday Night Football every single year
Everything loses to football. No one is arguing that and no one has. Of the top 100 watched shows every year 90 or more of them are NFL games. If WWE can't compete with the NFL no other fed has a chance especially you spill blood for. The fact ESPN has been courting WWE content for almost decade says they value it and want it, hence paying billions for it which you left out. Here's the kicker. ESPN acquired the NFL network this year also. It picked up 3 more NFL games with that. That means every NFL game they broadcast on that app will have ads for WWE content. And when a special PLE comes around they will absolutely market the shit out of it and have crossovers with NFL content. The amount of eyeballs that will see that is going to make you want to kill yourself. More people will know about a WWE event in 10 seconds than 5 years worth of AEW content.

I leave you with one last thought: Netflix, Peacock, Fox, everyone who works with WWE realizes too late that wrestling is niche & the Attitude Era was 30 years ago now. There are no new WWE fans coming in.

but but but... wwe are the bad guys... they dont even support trans rights... this isn't friggen fair!

>>18614646
>I leave you with one last thought:
Watch what you like and stop trying to make arguments for it using topics you're too stupid to use.

>>18614566
>Walmart straight up just said they are going to have to pass all the tariff shit on to the consumer today
So? All that does is encourage the production and sale of domestic items. Now I doubt you understand what that even means because you're economically retarded and also all the other kinds of retarded, but it's a good thing.
>The financial crisis is here
There's literally no financial crisis.
>you better get used to eating paper.
I'd tell you to get used to eating dicks but I know you're already expertly acquainted with cockgobbling

>>18614658
I do watch what I like, which is something other than WWE like the rest of Netflix/Peacock viewers.

>>18614646
>There are no new WWE fans coming in.
Except there are.

>>18614685
AEW loses to the wrestling school every week.

>>18614697
And you call the other company a cult.

>>18614685
If this is true then you have nothing to worry about since the show will have bad ratings and eventually die. That's what happens when shows aren't watched by large amounts of people.

Still haven't heard a word from WBD about Dynamite and Collision on

>>18614717
Yeah because it is. AEWtists are such an insane cult that they've fabricated a narrative that Netflix is about to cancel their deal with WWE any day now and whenever Netlix says they're happy with WWE they just accuse the whole company of lying.

remember when wbd put out a statement like this and e-drones said it was because AEW made them because people were tweeting mean things about them

>>18614933
Post the most recent statement tranny. This is now 3 statements from Netflix

>>18613814
How does Netflix gain anything from this? If they weren't happy they would just not say anything and opt out of the deal early.

>>18615142
It's a press release to the stockholders to let them know they are aware, it's going good right now, but of course, PLANS MAY CHANGE.

We'll be hearing about the buyout option soon enough.

>>18613809 (OP)
poor dave

>>18615175
>We'll be hearing about the buyout option soon enough.
There are no "buyout" options in TV contracts. Stop talking about shit you dont know about.

Thank you Triple W

>>18613835
WBD regrets their decision to renew AEW

>>18613814
What about when the company does the opposite, like Zaslav admitting pro wrestling does not drive viewers to MAX?

Based

>>18617724
He said that?

TYBZ

>>18613814
if wbd put out an article like this you'd cream your pants and bump it for 2 weeks straight.

>>18613809 (OP)
>Thrilled with 664k debut

>>18620619
What do you think I did all day

>nothing is wrong with company
Ok guy paid by company

>>18613809 (OP)
Anyone who has worked in a company that isn’t fast food knows when a company says this they mean the exact opposite. They are telling WWE to do better!

>>18614467
I want you to know that I made £28k on TKO stock specifically because I bet that you were retarded and didn't understand what you're talking about.
I used it to pay off some debts and setup a new ISA. So thanks. Please keep posting more opinions on stock prices. You're making me rich by doing the opposite.

Surely Zaslav will talk about how much of a success gAyEW is right? 2 more weeks?

Raw has been such a massive success for Netflix. Wish I could say the same for AEW and WBD. Oh well

>For Spitzer, the plot-driven nature of WWE programming crosses over beyond the streamer’s sports strategy and dips into the overall goal of entertainment that Netflix strives to achieve.“When we did the deal, we thought about, ‘This is just 52 weeks of, in some ways, an incredible Telenovela,’” Spitzer said, applauding WWE heads Nick Khan and Paul “Triple H” Levesque for raising the bar creatively week in and week out.

>“It’s hardcore sports programming, but it’s got the storylines that carry you throughout the whole year.”While one might expect WWE viewers’ Netflix profiles to lean toward sports documentaries or action flicks, the storytelling attracts a broader audience.

>Over 55%of current Netflix subscribers who watched “Monday Night Raw” also watched “Happy Gilmore 2,” for example, while nearly 40% also watched “KPop Demon Hunters.”“It’s bringing in kids, men, women, everyone. So it’s not like they’re just watching WWE and turning and watching standup comedy. It’s everything from a ‘Bridgerton’ to ‘Squid Game’ to standup,” Spitzer said. “It’s pretty family-friendly overall.”

>>18613809 (OP)
>We're fudging the numbers pretty hard so our stock price doesn't tank, but the Journos are wise to it - better put out a corporate schlop statement

>>18613817
It's not even real numbers it's just doing the calculation correctly. Dave's right in that the numbers just don't make sense. They take the hours watched and apply it to the cropped version that goes up after the live show, so either everyone is watching the cropped version in the 7 days following the live show or no one is watching live. Which is it?

>>18613809 (OP)
Raw got cancelled

He is going to hate this

>>18621884

I guess a lot of women do watch wwe

He fucking HATES this thread

And Hulk Hogan's people said he was doing great and to not believe the rumors of his impending death a day before his actual death.

>>18627075
Out of all your copes this may be the worst one.

Rampage was cancelled btw.

>>18613809 (OP)
WWE = Red hot

>>18613814
AEWtists really have no self awareness

>>18614523
I haven't watched TV in a decade. I feel so superior to you losers dropping $600+ to be fed garbage.

>You know who's telling the truth about Netflix being disappointed? @JMoxFan21834

I always chuckle at the thought of a bunch of fat slobs who think they understand the way streaming and contracts work. It reminds me of when the majority of the board thought Vince was possibly going to prison over a civil lawsuit.

>>18631475

WBD wants to cancel AEW.

>>18633378
If what I'm hearing is real, they are actually looking to getting out of the deal early

>>18613837
Because WBD is legit bad at PR

They had the new head of the DC studios go on Twitter and tell the entire world that 1.5 years and 750m of films should be ignored and the fans should instead wait for Superman in 2025, which subsequently bombed. Zaslav didn't say shit about this collosal fuck up.
