WWE: Raw and Smackdown Part 4 - The Paul Levesque Era

[HeisenBaez]

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.

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.

Yes, we will have WWE on Netflix, beginning on January 3rd with a live broadcast on Smackdown.

What up with the ex-Hartwall Arena?

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***.

Unpaid power bills could pose risks to Helsinki's empty arena, expert says

The Finnish Ice Hockey Association, which has offices at the facility, has turned down an opportunity to pay the bill.

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.
