Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread
Right now I'm sold on the Netflix broadcast.
International version has no ads (they quickly fade in/out of black during the US break but stays with the show), and if you exit out of the live feed, you can resume where you left off.
Makes it feel just like it did when it was on my DVR. So I can still flip to other channels/games in between and pick up where I left off.Comment

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread
First, pre-match break just showed the promo for this match. Then they showed another "Continues next" bug, but it never cut away for me. It flashed to black for a second, kept showing the match, and then flashed to black again, ending that commercial break. But I was with the match the whole time.
The video package being the "break" wasn't really a break.
And fade to black but resumes the show likely signifies the other break.
Wonder if people in ad tier actually got breaks while ad free just got what we saw?Comment

Best thing about this switch is getting to watch wrestling in the crispiest most glorious 4K vs the garbage 720 broadcast is still using.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread
I know a criticism of tv broadcasts was not broadcasting in "true 1080p", but Netflix definitely feels like max quality. I just don't know if 1080p is their max or if they're actually broadcasting in 4k.Last edited by Majingir; 01-06-2025, 09:11 PM.Comment

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread
Seems like every "ad break" is just like a PLE.
Ad tier I guess gets WWE and other ads.
Non ad tier gets wwe ads but then video packages and commercial break match footage.
Will take time to get used to new pacing, but even with a 3* hour show, people probably can tune in a bit later, skip those wweshop and upcoming wwe tv event ads (and video packages if you want, but the ones shown so far are PLE quality packages) and still finish the show on time.
Interesting thing I've noticed, international feed truly cuts out ads. Cole was doing the Goodyear ad with the aerial footage, and the audio cuts out any time he mentions a US sponsor.Comment

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread
Topanga, Eric Matthews, Kevin McCallister and more are on Raw!?
And Ashton gets booed by the crowd. People really turned on him/Mila when it was revealed how much they stuck up for Danny (when they shouldn't have given the allegations).
This definitely has a PLE feel to it. The arena also gives it a different feel. Wonder how this new stage will look in a regular arena.Comment

Tiffany the women's champ
Rhea the women's world champ
Chelsea the US champ
What a time in women's wrestling
Pacing is definitely weird. I hope it's just "growing pains" with them getting used to this new format.Comment
