I really, really want to see the PWG Battle of Los Angeles, but I don't want to wait for DVDs. Why in the world are they the only company that has yet to leap into streaming media? It is downright stupid that CHIKARA has their shows streaming with a 24 hour turnaround but PWG does not. Any insight?
If you enjoy Pro Wrestling Guerrilla as it currently exists, then you need to learn patience. You need to remember that PWG utilizes talents under contract to TNA, Ring of Honor, Lucha Underground as well as international talents who have their own contractual obligations. One of the reasons that PWG is able to have the unique roster that it does is that they film the shows and later release them on DVD. If PWG added streaming media, iPPV, etc., the talents they would have access to as well as how they could be booked would be extremely curtailed. You will have to be patient in order to enjoy PWG....or fly to California. I have made that trip several times and it's always worth the effort.
Suffice it to say, WWE is overwhelming it's own brand. I love what's on the Network but a sensible person doesn't have time for that. Don't get me wrong, the live PPV's are great but 4 hours for Backlash? I haven't caught up with other VOD service's programs that I subscribe to and fall premiere season is here. Two weeks later it's Clash of the Champions? It really is starting to boggle my mind.
You mentioned VOD and that is an important component of the WWE Network, the ability to watch it anytime. With that, WWE can create and release as much content as they want. One of the reasons they are amping up the original content is because it drives new subscriptions and right now, they are in the business of building and maintaining subscriptions as much as anything else. You may be overwhelmed with it, but others will consume all of it immediately.
The ONLY thing that irritates me about NJPW on AXS is knowing that these matches took place almost a year ago. Do you know if there are any plans to eventually begin showing matches that took place - let's just say - within the last month, or, even better, the same week?
Not currently. You have to remember that even with iPPV and streaming, the material has never aired in the United States, so it is still fresh, excellent content.
When Luke Harper comes back (which I hope is really soon) what is a good/right thing to do with him? I'm a little considered about this, I love Luke Harper, and I don't want him to get lost in the shuffle.
Harper has been at the WWE Performance Center all week preparing for his return. I'd love to see him come out and just lay waste to one of the top performers in the company and stand as his own man. He's so versatile, is an underrated talker and is a hell of a hand. I really hope they have a nice plan for him.
Any heat on Miz for the promo on Daniel Bryan?
No heat that we have heard of, but the company doesn't want either of them to go back there again.
