No half baked measures.
You can't present Moxley as a tough hardened martial artist, only for him to get choked out in jiu jutsu tournaments by randos. Go full brawl for all, no predetermined winners. Go full inokism(nevemind it almost killed NJPW)
Let the best wrestler or fighter win the belt.

Reports coming in says that the 'D' 'O' double 'G' has been released. DX is back to 2 I guess.

I don't know of other African countries, but it was quite popular here to tbf, but the model was not sustainable since like 70% of it's content is also available on DSTV, of which that, had a VOD kinda app to, directly competing with this.

Anyways, there has been a piracy or anti-piracy discuss going on, on X all week. I for one try to pay for art and media services as much as i can, but "Showmax" was literally my front row seat to "HBO Library" , it's the only reason i bother with them in the first place,so with them leaving, i should stop seeing HBO shows altogether or wait till Canal+ strikes up another deal however long it takes, if i don't want to be a pirate? I think TF not!! 😩😩

See as the lantern resemble bushbaby own

BlackManta:
The cast is good.

The chemistry between Hal and John is on point.

But man I've watched this trailer several times and I still don't like it.

There is no colour in this trailer. It doesn't feel like a comic book show at all.

Why does a Superman movie get to be more vibrant, colorful and comic booky than Green Lantern

It makes no sense.

Why the hell would anyone make Green Lanterns grounded

This is supposed to be an epic space adventure.

This trailer does not excite me at all.

You could make a show about two small town cops investigating a murder and it would look exactly like this.

This trailer is giving Reacher season 1 and Yellowstone vibes and that is not the vibes we should be getting from Green Lantern.

Got this mail this morning, abi na spam?? fgsss 😩😩

BlackManta:
Too too grounded for my liking.

No constructs.

The suit is too dark. Green Lanterns wear bright colours.

But I think I'm gonna like Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan.

I feel for Rodrygo man. So sad

ValeeLove:
it's not a smart statement to make in character. She also said the office keeps her on top going into Mania (which kind of stupid 'work' is that?). Wrestlers that have no connection to the feud are chiming in and guess what - they're all heels supporting a babyface.😱 Rhea talking about breaking the '4th wall'? And the only person saying it's reportedly a work is Dave Meltzer.🤣
Like CoolUsername said, if it's eventually a work then everyone involved doesn't know anything about their job.

I don't care enough to get her name right.

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😭

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.

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.

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.
