WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion (On Netflix)

“Welcome to the big time!”. I won’t lie I had a chuckle when I heard that. I knew and I’m sure they knew it would light up the vocal minority.

Great debut from Penta. Thought the presentation was excellent and the match delivered as well. I don’t mind the fast pace matches like that when they’re not overdone. It certainly provides more of a spotlight on the talents. And Gable has been huge in putting over talents and yet still keeping himself and the group relevant.

How good was it to see a Destroyer that wasn’t immediately no sold and the person just spring up as well!?

I’m sure a lot of potentially disgruntled younger talent at AEW would have been watching the fantastic presentation closely.

I'm really enjoying the production of Raw on Netflix.

They’ve absolutely nailed the production side of it. The improved camera angles and the new graphics look fantastic. I’m loving the return of the moving wrestler graphics as well.

They manage to make every show feel big. Visually at least.

However, I can’t say I’ve been won over by the referee attire. I don’t mind changing the tradition stripes, but maybe to a plain grey or black rather than the two stripe set up now.

I like it but, as you’re a Saints fan, it’s reminiscent of the recent Saints logo change and, more broadly, Collingwood going white on black from 2001-now.

I like the presentation so far on netflix.
But their audio mix sucks.

One gripe I’ve got with the audio is that it feels like the entrance music isn’t been played through the feed, only in the arena. Sounds much quieter at least to my ears. Although in saying that the entrance music is getting worse each new song def rebel produce so that’s probably not a bad thing.

I have liked how they seem to have removed the dubbed in crowd noise

Tell them to get rid of the background hum

Next week on WWE Speed:

Geez need to see 15-30 mins of Dempsey and Gable, that was great.

Increasing rumours today that Malakai Black (Alistair Black) is gone from AEW and most likely WWE bound. Apparently the feeling backstage is he's not coming back. Melzer claiming that the reaction has been mixed, with some claiming it's good he's gone - whether they mean they're happy he left because he was unhappy there is unknown.

Usually Black has been quick to jump on social media and downplay these rumours, but this round he has so far not commented on.

Give me Black with his OG entrance and inject him straight to the top of the card please.

Just noticed that Corey Graves didn't commentate on WWE Speed either.

 

[Quivorir]

I'm in the camp of its a work and he'll be in the rumble this year.

 

[Ry009]

Def a work.

WWE have gotten better with the social media stuff. Saw Karion Kross retweeted one of Graves' tweets too.

Just worried it's going to lead to something with Pat still.

 

[Ivelisse]

With Penta in WWE does that mean his Brother Rey Fenix also coming to WWE?

He could stay in AEW calling himself the Black Hart I mean Black Heart

I'd take that if it meant seeing Graves back in the ring though... As long as it led to more with actual wrestlers.

Graves was making noise, dropping hints, about wanting to return a couple of years back but nothing eventuated hopefully it will this time around.

Well McAfee and Cole both have more Rumble appearances than him.

WWE have been great so far with the AEW signings, really presenting them like a big deal or at the very least, they aren't taking a step back.

Cody and Jade both were brought in and presented very well. Dragon Lee was put into a decent but not great spot which was about where he was. Andrade basically just came back to where he was. Now Penta is being presented as legit. Hopefully if Malakai Black is next he's brought in as a main event guy.
