Subtraction By Subtraction: Changes Coming To WWE Network/Peacock, Shows Leaving

January 18, 2023

It’s less wrestling. The WWE Network was an absolute game changer for wrestling fans. For the first time ever, fans were able to see almost every major WWE event in history for a relatively cheap price. It meant there was more content available to fans and more was added at a regular basis. However, that might not be the case anymore, at least for certain wrestling programming. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: You’re Up: Royal Rumble Described As “All Hands On Deck”, What That Means According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful, a WWE source says that independent wrestling content will be discontinued on Peacock. This comes after various shows events are listed as leaving in a few days. Shows that seem to be leaving include ICW, Progress and Evolve, though it is not clear if all of them will be leaving permanently. A wXw event is set to premiere this coming Sunday. A WWE source indicated to Fightful that they'll be discontinuing indie content on the WWE Network. https://t.co/DwMvG4msM2 — Sean..

Another One: WWE Legend Dealing With Serious Health Issues, GoFundMe Opened

July 27, 2022

This happens far too often. Wrestling is a weird business, as the wrestlers have little in the way of a guarantee. They will often bounce from one promotion to the other and pick up work where they can. In addition, they have nothing in the way of benefits and that can create a problem after their careers are over. As sad as it is, that is the case again for another former star. Former WWE star Mo, of Men On A Mission fame, has announced that he is undergoing health issues and is starting a GoFundMe to help pay for medical expenses. Mo’s issues stem from contracting the Coronavirus while being immunocompromised due to a previous kidney transplant. This resulted in a three week stint in the ICW as well as being on an oxygen machine since his release. Mo also had complications due to a hernia and is being fed through a feeding tube due to an emergency surgery. The fund is seeking to raise $50,000 and has reached just over $4,000 so far. Opinion: This is one of those things that you see..

AEW Star Heading Back To Japan

December 1, 2021

Back in a bit. AEW has one of the most impressive rosters in recent memory and a lot of that is due to how varied everything really is. There are some incredibly talented wrestlers on the roster and it makes for some rather awesome shows. There is not always room for everyone though and now one of them will be heading away, at least for a little while, to work another show. Hikaru Shida has announced that she will be returning to Japan to appear on the Makai Genesis ReBoot show on February 4 at Kameari Ririo Hall. There is nothing to suggest that this will be anything more than a single match and Shida is not expected to miss extended time from AEW. Shida is a former AEW Women’s Champion and has been feuding with Serena Deeb in recent weeks. ??????????????? ?? GENESIS?ReBOOT? 2022?2?4?@?????????? ????????????????https://t.co/iIcwiWDCh0 .

WWE May Potentially Be Making Huge Network Announcements Soon

May 27, 2018

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE may potentially making huge announcements related to the award-winning WWE Network in the coming weeks. Triple H recently had the following to say to The Mirror in the UK earlier this month, leading to speculation on the Network announcements: “While we are there at this UK event at the Royal Albert Hall, we will be making some announcements about the future of the UK Championship brand there in the UK and moving forward. That brand still remains very near and dear to me and it’s something I want to move on. It’s taking a little bit longer than I anticipated in getting things done and getting them done in the way I want them to get done … but it’s happening. It will be meaningful to everybody there and I look forward to showcasing the UK talent to the world.” As we’ve mentioned, WWE has been considering adding other promotions to the Network to further increase the subscriber count. Insane Championship Wrestling (ICW) and PROGRESS W..

Bischoff on Wrestling Recap – WWE’s Aging Fanbase, Free Agent John Cena, Cornette vs. Russo, More!

June 18, 2017

<p>Bischoff comments on the Sports Business Journal’s recent report, which suggested that the median age of wrestling fans has grown to 54 years old. In his opinion, the median age of wrestling fans is closer to mid 40’s, based on some research that he has seen over the last couple of years. Either way, that’s probably a higher number than WWE would like.</p><p>He points out that some people still wish that WWE would return to a more mature <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/style/" title="style">style</a></strong> of programming, but sponsors write the cheques, and they want WWE to target a younger demographic. Younger audiences are always preferable for sponsors, because older people don’t spend money as freely. As long as the sponsors demand WWE to continue with PG programming, that’s exactly what they’ll do.</p><p></p><p>Bischoff points out that IMPACT Wrestling’s audience is made of up mostly older male viewers. Because of this, he says that sponsors can probably get commercial time on <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/poptv/" title="PopTV">PopTV</a></strong> for $49 a spot during an IMPACT showing. Older audiences, specifically males, simply don’t spend money.</p><p>Bischoff comments on the fact that ICW from Ireland has pulled their <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/video/" title="video">video</a></strong> library from the FITE TV app, and they’re the first independent promotion to be announced as moving their library to the WWE Network. Bischoff thinks this is very interesting, because WWE has always ignored all of their competition in the past. He’s intrigued to see how this relationship plays out.</p>
