Talking Smack canceled

Fuck this company.

>since /smack/ became better than RAW now we can make it the B show again

fug

>>2876886

Yeah, it didn't work with 205 in between SD and TS, but it had some great moments, so I don't know...talking shows like this can actually help a feud and make the network a bit more relevant.

>Vince doesn't sabotage his own product

I guess D-Bry went off script one time too often.

>>2876886
Meanwhile

How can wwe CONTINUOUSLY hurt themselves and aspire to grow as a company?

Just as planned.

Everybody with any kind of brainpower knew that 205 should've gone on before Smackdown as that benefits all 3 shows.

But obviously Vince couldn't have that.

But that's the problem

>>2877026
If 205 live was before SD people would just end up only entering before SD, so there's no winning with the shit either way

i'd accept it if dbry is out.
he was always shooting shit because he didn't want to be around and out of the contract.
he wasn't on the last week so if he's done with the show i'd accept they cancel it.
if he was willing to come back then it's bullshit.
the show was all about sweet beetz, shane was terrible and jbl was worse

What are they going to do after PPVs with both brands, such as Summerslam?

I'm unshamefully self-admittedly seething and boiling upon learning that Talking Smack is now in the same status as Raw Talk. Raw fucking Talk.

Also, fans who were indifferent about 205Live are now despising it. So yeah, basically they killed 2 shows in a shot.

God smackdown sucks now

Really it did ever since the shake up

>>2877329
this. will only hurt 205 live even more

>>2877299
She can go to any station and be a broadcaster there. She was almost headhunted and only because she is in love with Dean she stayed.

WWE is lucky they are getting married, otherwise they would have lost her.

Barely a year and they can't even pretend that Smackdown isn't the B- show anymore

>>2877346
why audition if you're going to stay?
i doubt she was picked up but maybe when her contract is up she will leave.
she's better than the rest of the other interviewers but maybe her leaving would lead to less scripted promos hopefully

Smackdown is shit anyways. The superstar shake-up and Road Dogg have completely murdered a once enjoyable show.

>>2876886

And yet Raw has 3 hours and a cringe segment after.

Just cancel 205 Live and make the Cruisers part of the Raw roster, christ

>>2877214
Does anyone even watch 205?

>>2877342

Not showed. It's like those pre-shows they used to do before RAW and Smackdown: utterly useless.
Doing it after a PPV makes sense because there's something to talk about (though I wish they tried those Wrestlemania 30 style press conferences again)

Fuck this shit. We get less and less for the price. JBLs show was cancelled even though it was just 2 guys with a 2 or 3 cameras pointed at them and now Talking Smack. The show that actually gave the characters 'character' and I actually watched it.

NXT and 205 Live should have been cancelled instead.

I'm cancelling after Battleground. Balee dat.

>>2878010
>"We continuously review WWE Network’s programming line-up based on a variety of factors, including viewership and subscriber research."

The rest of the world actually has a WWE Network channel on their cable subscription so they pretty have to sit through 205 live to watch TS...or DVR it. Either way I don't believe the numbers are too good for TS. And maybe WWE think we will start watching 205 live now?

>>2878019
What the fuck do people watch on the Network then, besides PPVs?

>>2877970
The thing that bothers me the most is that the non-wrestling programming that WWE produces and airs on the network feels edited to look like stuff that's shown on regular tv, it doesn't have that premium cable feel.

>Durr no one watched it on the network

This 19 minute show is not supposed to garner viewer numbers on your shit stream service. Its entire existence is to give the wrestlers a chance to develop character and if a promo is good enough it gets shared enough on social media and fills air time for smackdown if a promo was good enough to be shown again.

Talking smack shouldn't even have a fucking budget. Get one steady wide master shot and one wrestler to hold a camera. Dont even have the set just have some chairs and table

Why not just cancel the Cruiserweights instead?

The E Drones on Plebbit are actually fucking defending this for fucks sake. I really can't wait till NJPW properly breaks out in the US and WWMeme goes under. Fuck this company.
