WWE PLE’s headed to ESPN starting in 2026

UFC took our deal smh

Are you talking about the "Showtime" paywall they have or something else? I keep it because it airs Champions League and Europa games. I haven't watched any UFC since I attended some events and was disgusted by the fan base.

Yeah. I have it for free through credit card reward points. I remember trying to watch a movie a few months ago, and it was trying to charge for it.

Yeah a lot of the movies are behind the Showtime paywall. So you'd have to get Paramount+ and have the Showtime add-on.

No thanks, especially with their new MAGA ownership

And their first action was "we need UFC!" That's some corporate synergy lol

2009-2016 begs to differ.

If the rumors are true about a 10mil a year deal then you take it if you're TNA, because that's way more than anything you're getting now.

You not wrong on that one, but if I was TNA and NBC is offering me 10 mil a year for my content to be on Peacock, I would try to negotiate a separate deal just to see if they're willing to pay for my library and not the others

Spoiler

I would even try to get some TV talk while we're at it
Syfy is wide open and Thursday is always a great time

ESPN don't respect them talking like they background noise to keep people happy before the real sports come on.

ESPN president Jimmy Pitaro: WWE’s premium live events will help the ESPN streaming service avoid churn during slower months of the year./ "...if I were to call [WWE president] Nick Khan and say, ‘hey, can you work with me? We have a particular gap here in our schedule.’ I expect he will.”​

They leaned into that narrative with their own moves, shuffled the Rumble and WM to avoid the NFL Playoffs and March Madness. No shame in embracing that position

 

[THE 101]

AEW PPVs with 10+ matches for only $50 looking like a great deal now

If you're into watching 5 hours of meaningless spot fests in front of 2000 neckbeards sure.

Pro Wrestling Torrents and Xtreme Wrestling Torrents are still the GOATs I think. I don't know if they have open enrollment or not but I'd imagine they're going to pretty soon with this news. I think older stuff (like 2001 and older) you can find on Archive.org if you do some digging.

Archive got a lot of ppv's and full shows I've been downloading

 

[Reality Check]

Jesus christ please take a class on photoshop. Also the fact Nick Khan is the one negotiating the dealing while Triple H is fumbling creative.
