That's what Roman said in a way too.

He was asked about a possible Rock vs Roman match this year given the plans were supposed to be them last year.

Roman said he's not commenting because he wants the speculation to continue and him saying yes or no will kill all the speculation so he's leaving it open ended.

Buddy Matthews trying to win a match with a curb stomp



AEW does use big moves as common moves way too often though between the styles clash, curb stomp, tombstone and others, it doesn't feel special when its just another move.

Ospreay calling him Buddy Murphy and the audio has to censor his mic.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Raw got 5m viewers globally.

Not sure if that's a good or bad number. They did about 2.5m in the US alone.

Makes me wonder what is viewership for streaming elsewhere.

Does India or China or anywhere else like that have big numbers on Netflix? I believe for NBA in China I think I read before they do more viewers than in the US?

Or do people exaggerate how well something should do? Raw at 2.5m viewers was the #1 show on Netflix. But if Netflix has as many subscribers as they have, what is everyone watching if 2.5m is the top show on it? It must be very spread out across the thousands of other shows/movies then?

It doesn't seem like a great number, but for Netflix it is a live event with ads, so maybe that's more valuable to them then people watching one of their horrible movies. That 2.5M will likely go way down after the first few weeks. If it drops down to the numbers that they were getting on USA, I'm not sure if that would disappointing or surprising at all. Who knows what Netflix expects or will require of the show.

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Guess the rumors are true.

HHH isn't a fan of the 3 man booths and Graves is staying on NXT until McAfee goes back to football.

Still some getting used to not having WWE on TV. I keep checking my DVR recordings wondering why there's no scheduled recordings for WWE.

WM41: Reigns vs Cody, Thrice in a Lifetime?

Or is CM Punks favour that he wants to go one on one with the Tribal Chief with Heyman as Punks Wiseman as the main event of Wrestlemania Night 1?

The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking WM would be:
Punk vs Roman (Heyman in Punks corner as per the favour)

Cena vs Gunther for the WHC (Cena wins the elimination chamber to become the #1 contender)

Orton vs Cody for the WWE Title (Orton returns and wins the rumble which sets up the story of "does he face Gunther and get his revenge, or does he go after his friend?")

Re: WWE RAW & Smackdown Thread

Someone tell their entire family that only Raw is on Netflix in the US.

But also, Nia with the line of her career:

That wasn't even her best line of the *night*

Her telling Naomi nobody cares about you was heroic.
