I don't mind sitting through 6+ hours of wrestling a day, the majority does. I enjoyed NXT more this weekend. Again. Lol

You have to take into account that Japan now has the network as well. Nakamura is a huge draw there. That's what happens when he's on a show.

One simple explanation is that it was 2 hours. I've watched NXT twice, definitely not rewatching 4.5 hours of summerslam If you watched the preshow for the matches and commentary it was closer to 6.5 hours. Way too much wrestling in one sitting imo. I was there, it was draining. I was dunzo after styles Cena |

Well, NXT Takeover was the all around better show.

You have to take into account that Japan now has the network as well. Nakamura is a huge draw there. That's what happens when he's on a show. International Network subscribers only account for 25% of their total reach. That number was 15% prior to the launch in Japan and a few other countries, so, at most, 10% of the subscriber base is coming from Japan, likely less. Not to mention, this was Nakamura's third Takeover appearances since the Network launched in Japan. I realize he was challenging for a title, but, still. I'm sure he's responsible for more than a few of those Japanese subs, but I don't think the Network's overall penetration in that market is enough to make a substantial difference, at least not yet. It'd be really interesting to see a breakdown of where views are coming from, though. That would be really telling. |

Here's the thing.
I would watch Takeover: Brooklyn again right now.
I'll probably never watch SS again, save for YouTubing Cena/Styles...

That means it's time for Vince to bury it. Next NXT you will see a rare appearance by John Cena!! I haven't watched either event but I'd much rather watch NXT over summerslam. I don't think I really missed anything on summerslam except Orton busting his head open which I went and watched |

I wonder where a lot of the stuff in the Vault and older ppv events rank. Just curious about what older stuff remains popular these days.

Summer slam was good but long and Seth Rollins Vs Fin Balor should have main evented.

If you can ignore the crowds obsession with shitting on the belt for 90% of the match you'll see that it was actually a damn great match. The crowd absolutely ruined a great outing by those two. I didn't see anything before Cena/Styles thanks to almost missing the show lol. So I can't comment on any of that. |
