samistry: I think they'll go the triple threat route with Cody vs Randy vs Drew. I enjoyed the women's elimination chamber match more than the men.
AJ vs Becky match was good but overbooked(comatose Ref, exposed turn buckle, chair) only needed the turnbucklespot.
That box segment was an insult and waste of time(casuals don't know Danhausen or care for the gimmick).
Seth is back yayyyy! Please no more masked man interference for next 10 years😭 Some people are even saying it might be a fatal 4 way with Fatu in the mix. |

ValeeLove: I get the humour p. u7pl3, but I think the polls should be for serious things. I didn't vote in the last one and I won't vote this one. Now if you put some legit options, I'd vote. Yea? So who do you think attacked Jey Uso? |

Why do I feel like they trying to take the title off Drew before Wrestlemania?
Congratulations to Randy and Ripley even though Raquel should have won. Seth Rollins is back, CM Punk's title reign is about to be in trouble with Seth inevitably joining Roman to go after him. Congrats to AJ Lee too. DanHausen was the person in the mystery Crate.(turn the TV off moment for me)
J'Evon and Trick both impressed too. |

abduleez1: Wall Street na werey people full there. That's the annoyance with these companies.... Them no dey reason long term value but short term gains. They're all there to make money for themselves. The fat paycheck David Zaslav is also getting from sealing this deal ehn.
A perfect job he has delivered.
That Saudi matter ehn.... Lol, Hollywood will never allow a major company like WB be owned by Arabs. That one na political matter and optics entirely. Na the likes of Lionsgate, A24 and NEON dem go fit get.  This fake beef between the US and Saudi Arabia sef. Very annoying sanctimonious bull. |

abduleez1: WB has big debt to pay off from their AT&T days leading to the Discovery acquisition. In actuality, WB can easily buy Paramount, but who gives AF about a company that it's CEO doesn't even believe in and needs another company to grow.
Besides, WB ain't in the game of acquisitions no more, the only few M&A they did recently was to buy small streamers to gain market entry in new overseas markets.....iirc that's in Turkey.
Netflix doesn't feel the need to overpay for WB like the Ellisons are doing. Cos unlike Paramount, Netflix can afford to be on its own and it's massively successful with it's streaming business. With WB it's "a nice thing to have" not an absolute necessity as it is for Paramount.
The only reason Paramount can bid for WB is because the CEO David Ellison is banking on financial support from his daddy— David Ellison, co-founder/owner of Oracle as well as being one of the richest man on earth. Also, they're also using financiers and borrowers as well as the rumoured Gulf states' Investment Funds' also putting money into the deal.
Netflix has the cash flow to back it's bid and can fund it themselves. But ain't no one willing to massively overpay for it. Their shareholders hate the deal, that's why Netflix lost a significant amount of its worth during the bidding process. Now, news is up of Netflix letting go, and their stocks is up 10%.
Why WB needs to sell?
Well, David Zaslav was brought in primarily to clean up WB, repurpose debt, and reposition the company for growth and ultimately sell to the highest bidder.
This is the problem of publicly traded companies. Their loyalty is to their shareholders and delivering "value" aka ROI to the investors. They give zero 4uk$ about fans or audiences. If they manage to get a CEO who gets it right in terms of content and programming for the general audience? Great. If not, they can always try someone else or just sell to the next best person. Those shareholders are part of the anchors holding WB down too IMHO. I wish one Saudi guy/corporation can just buy them all off and be the sole owner |

abduleez1: Which day since the last 4/5 years you hear Paramount do really well for box office overall in a year? Their biggest IPs (Transformers, Mission Impossible) continue to underperform and they don't seem to know what to do with them.
They've been running premium losses recently. They don't support or believe in originals no more and can't even make the old IPs they have successfully or remain relevant at the box office.
Na Sonic dey save their blushes for now. Look at Avatar: The Last Airbender, something was scheduled to debut at theatres and somehow they pulled it off to streaming. This is a Paramount that has a dogsh!t release slate. Their slate for last year was wack, this year is even nonsensical.
Skydance hasn't proven they can turn things around at Paramount and they're already running to get a far bigger and complex studio. If they're choking on Paramount how much more with WB that's a whole other problematic studio on its own.
I fear they might just bring their shittiness and destroy WB, DC and HBO. Even the massive debt they'd incure ehn, how dem wan clear am when dem never even reduce the one they got at Skydance/Paramount merger. With the losses Paramount has been incurring and the gains WB has been making why doesn't WB buy Paramount instead? |

Calibrator: That is why you don't jump on every new show bandwagon. What I do nowadays is wait for the second season of premium shows to start airing to see if the reviews stay the same, then I join if they maintain status quo. That is how you can avoid wasting your time with shows like Pluribus and co.  Bro said he wants to watch every series ever made, alphabetically |

Rajmeista: I like the energy and movement of those two boys - Palacios and Pitarch. Their cameo was more effective than 'Messi is my idol.'  I wish we could be getting more of them. That Osasuna game needed controllers like that. As for Franco he currently adds nothing to the team. He should be loaned out or out down in Castilla like Vini and Rodrygo were. |
