Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: XFL to return?

Good heavens, but I love Urban Myths. Having played Sam Beckett in a play about his relationship with Andre the Giant, I particularly appreciated that one. Some of them are better than others, but the overall batting average has been pretty high. --Dave Sikula On Tuesday, April 14, 2020 at

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: XFL to return?

Sky Arts is an odd channel, that's largely thought of existing only as: 1. a way of getting more upmarket viewers to subscribe to Sky, even though they end up watching the more mainstream channels, and; 2. to give Sky, when it was owned by Murdoch, a way to say, "Look we do cultural stuff like

The shame of it is that the football was actually decent this time around, the rule changes actually added to the game, and they finally figured out the presentation (read: remove anything that wreaks of WWE). Hopefully some of the players (and some of the rule changes) get picked up by the

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: XFL to return?

I don't know that XFL cheerleaders were any more jiggling but the camera work was leering, what was referred to in "Full Metal Jacket" as fur and early morning dew. Ultimately advertisers will determine if the XFL succeeds and McMahon might be plugged into them because of his WWE franchise.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: XFL to return?

Realistically there is little chance of profit for this concept. The good players won’t be wooed away from the NFL (or even the CFL), and the big thing about the XFL the first time around was the shock factor such as more scoring, more aggressive, more injuries, or more jiggling cheerleaders, and

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: XFL to return?

We joke, but when you think about it, McMahon doesn't NEED a network. He's got a whole distribution apparatus in place via the WWE Network, although it'd probably piss off a lot of WWEN subscribers - especially if the price goes up as a result. On Thursday, January 25, 2018 at 1:29:13 PM

The UFC had stolen WWE viewers. I wonder if this is aimed at weakening the UFC 's negotiating position as its contract expires. NBA ratings are up. MLB regular season ratings are up. The NFL is down. The UFC recently had its lowest rating ever for an original prime time show. Its show on Fox

Haven’t we established in prior threads that — for a myriad of reasons — football ratings are down, earnings at sports networks are down, and layoffs are common? As a business decision, it would make more sense to invest in an abacus company than a new sports franchise. On Tue, Dec 19, 2017 at
