I know you have all eagerly anticipated this announcement

Goldberg .v. Gillberg, let's make it happen.

Corbin's down on his luck character was entertaining, they should of stuck with that. Seemed to have chemistry with Breakker in the far-to-brief era of the Wolf Dogs. Wasted Kurt Angle's final match as it didn't elevate him at all. A lot of crappy annoying characters over a decade of work. Likely soon to be "All Elite". Good riddance.
Lone Wolf character was his best work. To bad they moved him away from that character. Still a fan of Corbin.

For some reason I think it would be funny if during his first post-release match someone kicks out of End of Days. The smaller in stature or more unknown of a wrestler it is the better, lol.

Three weeks of road to wrestlemania shows going to happen in Europe
Smackdown in Barcelona, Raw in Brussels, Smackdown in Bologna. Hopefully a PLE in Europe in the summer too. Sadly WWE is off Finnish tv and our only modern big indoor arena currently is the Nokia Arena in Tampere, which is not as attractive for international touring artists or entertainment productions.

Good for the European fans but they had better start saving for tickets or they may not be able to afford them. TKO will want to recoup the added cost of the equipment needed for television tapings compared to the smaller assortment needed for a house show.

Do you not have Netflix in Finland? Because starting January 1, all of Raw, Smackdown, NXT and PLEs will be on Netflix in any market that is not the US.

There is still some question about the PLE's being available on Netflix Canada.

What up with the ex-Hartwall Arena?

Owned by Russians under sanctions, they've purposely dragged the sale of it, probably in fear of sales funds going to Ukraine. They have unpaid electrical bills (can't pay due to banks refusing transactions from people on sanctions lists), they're using generators to prevent water systems from flooding the place, the city has legal grounds to begin compulsory purchase proceedings but that whole thing could drag in courts. It's a cluster f***.

it says
"There have been reports from Netflix Canada that the Network and WWE content will be available in January but there is a question about whether PLEs will be available on demand after airing live."

So the question to me sounds like whether or not they will be available on demand afterwards, but they will still be airing live.

Not thread worthy ..but I'm curious...when did Cena stop getting booed? He's pretty much loved unanimously by live crowds now. Did it just start once he went part time?

For the most part, yeah. When was wasn't there so frequently fans kind of appreciated him more.

I was growing so tired of him when he was full time. He would win matches he had no business winning because Cenawinslol. The worst of which was Wrestlemania 30 when he beat the white hot Bray Wyatt. That was it for me. I just turned off the TV essentially whenever he came on my screen. I was just tired of his shit. He'd be in a serious feud and then do campy comedy bullshit and make his opponent look like shit.

Yeah I was never a Cena guy until about 2015, I started respecting him just because he had been around so long and I appreciated his star status. And he seems like a nice guy out of the ring, which for some reason has always mattered to me. Now it's to a point where I will legit miss him when he's retired.

Some Cena matches he should have lost but won:
Vs Lesnar at Extreme Rules 2012 - how does Lesnar lose his first match in 8 years?

Vs Nexus at Summerslam 2010 - Nexus didn't recover from this. Not sure if Barrett even beat him one on one.

Vs Wyatt at WrestleMania - Wyatt never got to this level again. Even if Cena had to win the Mania match, Wyatt should have won follow up matches decisively. I don't remember how the feud ended but I do remember Wyatt winning a cage match but it didn't make him look strong at all.

There a few feuds he won though where it elevated the other guy. Edge, Owens and Styles I'd say.
