A Bit Of A Conundrum Tonight

On the one hand, there’s the latest WWE PPV featuring Bork Lazer defending the Red Toy Belt against Brauny Man Strawman in what looks to be three minutes of interesting stuff paired up with two minutes of lazy-ass suplexes as well as the long-awaited encounter between Roman Reigns and John Cena in WWE’s latest attempt to get people to care about Roman Reigns as “da big dawg, yo.”

On the other hand, the new Star Trek: Discovery is debuting tonight and despite my less than excited lack of anticipation, it’s still new Star Trek.

Such a difficult decision indeed…

Except it’s not…

Because one will be on the WWE Network.

The other will be on CraveTV… or CBS Access if you’re American.

Oh well… I guess the answer is obvious.

Back to Quarth!

You Know…

No matter how much you try to put out a compelling product – and fail somewhat at it – you’ll never get over the sad reality that the biggest story in your company is its financial standing. As much as I am against good people losing their jobs through no fault of their own, I can only say…

Please, for the love of Dixie, let it die already.

Either sell it to someone who gives enough of a shit to give it a new start or just let it fucking die.

Global Force Gold Network!

Quick note: I’m writing this on a Tablet using the Blogger app, which apparently hasn’t heard of a common little feature called “spell check.” Thus, if any typos show up (especially in regards to some BIG words), I’ll fix them later when I’m back on the computer.
With that out of the way…
So Global Force Gold has decided to start up their own Global Force Network, where people can watch over thirteen years of wrestling pay-per-views and television programs featuring their former stars who are currently participating in solid matches over at WWE. This bit of news broke out amid rumors that Anthem Sports Network is looking to sell off Impact Wrestling because the business is hemorrhaging money.
I don’t want to comment on the whole “Anthem wanting out” business until there’s something a little more concrete to read into, but as far as this Network idea goes… sure, why not?
Mind you, it’s not something I’d be interested in all that much as the WWE Network more than satisfies any wrestling urges I might have these days… but for the diehard TNA fan who wants to relive better days, this wouldn’t be a bad way to go about it… depending on how it’s executed and such.
Now with all that being said, my only question remaining is… when do I get my gold bars, Jeff?
Yeah, that is all I have.
Sorry.

Live RAW On Christmas And New Year’s Day… WTF?

WWE announced recently that Monday Night RAW will broadcast LIVE on Christmas Night and New Year’s Eve for the first time ever… because that’s precisely what I want for Christmas is more mediocre sports entertainment… that I won’t even watch. And please spare the “Oh you don’t watch, but you will.” Motherfucker, I haven’t seen a full episode of RAW in years. Besides, I’ve got better things to do those days; family get togethers, Christmas dinners, and watching bad Christmas specials like Alpha’s Magical Christmas.

Yeah, that’s right. I’d rather watch a shitty Power Rangers X-Mas special than an episode of RAW and I’ve would said this even during the prime days when the show had stuff that was worth a damn on television… actually, you know what? Fuck that. Why watch a three hour snorefest like RAW when there’s a new Doctor Who that night? You think I’m dropping Peter Capaldi’s last outing as the Doctor so I could see Roman Reigns get booed or the eventual return of the Queen of Ear Rape herself?

People barely watch these things when they’re taped. They had a Tribute To The Troops one Christmas and nobody cared. And now these fucking clowns think that because the shows are LIVE, people are going to care? Is it really worth depriving all the poor folks of quality time with their families for a live show almost nobody will watch?

Dude, how about putting together a product that’s worth caring about outside of the three-month stretch that leads up to Mania, brother? Then, I’ll sing your fucking praises. But until then… no thanks, I’ll just stick with the PPVs that you’re putting on the WWE Network since that’s where the worthwhile content is coming from these days and even that’s a MASSIVE stretch these days.
