They're bringing back WOW (Women Of Wrestling) this year and it's gonna air on the CBS channels on Saturday nights this fall. WOW is only an hour show so if Paramount (ViacomCBS) was looking to get into the televised wrestling game, maybe they want to air wrestling for 2 hours on Saturday nights so they needed another show to fill up that 2nd hour?

    Yeah, EC3 has a show on the Russo brand and they talk about it weekly. Very insightful stuff on what he's trying to create. He mentioned they had a TV deal with Russo recently. I can only imagine Cornette may have an issue with the fact that EC3 is a fan of Russo and asks for some advice. He also mentioned that they'll have access to 100 million homes, so there's that🤷🏾‍♂️

      For Reference
      USA's Wiki Page claims 90.4 Million homes aka 98% of households with Pay TV )

      But it is a separate specific subject.
      In wrestling, you have a set of physical demands that you need to meet, over and over and over again, or your co-worker might never walk again. You often need to compromise on other talents, because of that barrier. It's why so many wrestlers can't act, and why we celebrate those who do.
      In wrestling, the worst consequences the audience faces for other people's bad decision making are boredom and confusion.
      In the real world, there's a body count.
      Wrestling is right wing, because it offers, in kayfabe, a right wing fantasy world, where the powerful destroy the weak without concerns for conscience or long term consequences. And because, backstage, you don't need to worry much about employee rights or the optics of constantly squashing your top black faces, to end their world title run.

    • @TrueNomadSkies
      @TrueNomadSkies 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@juststatedtheobvious9633 That's a really good point. In the wrestling world, lines are often clear at least in the story, and there is little potential for the radical left to even exist outside of idiot fans who chant "aew" during wwe ppvs. There are also like you say, real and direct consequences for mistreating others in the ring. It's a very right wing get out what's put in business, and since the wwe has such a hold on the industry, there isn't much variation as far as how it's handled.
      I also feel that it's much easier to hold traditional down to earth values in wrestling than in the real world because the viral left media is much stronger with the latter, so being deplatformed because you hate dumb flippy shit is less likely than in the real world for example, if you hate whatever dumb shit political agendas are pushing for.
