Hopefully being exclusively on Peacock and not simulcast on NBC will mean they won't have to put commercials during the match and just have them between matches.

Amazing how after he stops being heel the retirement tour got good again
Brock stuff aside, the Logan angle was great and the Cody match was too. Should've just spent a whole year having Cena face different roster members being an over as fuck babyface, no titles necessary, just have him with some long matches and lose some long matches

In hindsight, of course that would've been better. But Heyman said they had a payoff in mind for the heel turn, but it fell through, which of course means Dwayne won't commit to making time for WWE and he left them hanging after that 10/10 segment at Elimination Chamber.

Peacock gets more viewers than tv as per NBC reports on WWE PPV numbers, and you try to criticize some 'ruling power' when you in fact are a drone for them endlessly spamming internet communities to create dissent and post filth and whatever is trending on social media to spread awareness for your masters.

If it has Cena's retirement match it's clearly not a "glorified house show." People use that term having no idea what it means. They use it to refer to every Saudi show even though they all have huge matches and title changes. They couldn't be any less of a glorified house show, but smarks still call them that because the first couple of Saudi shows actually were glorified house shows, and smarks are incapable of learning.

Why don't you explain what a glorified house show is, and explain exactly what differentiates it from a show that isn't a glorified house show. And since I know you're the kind of person who calls the Saudi shows glorified house shows too, explain how this years Night of Champions was a glorified house show and what makes it different from every other PLE this year.

The last several Saudi PLEs have featured title changes. Liv Morgan beat Becky Lynch for the women's championship at a Saudi show. Solo Sikoa won the US Championship from Jacob Fatu at the most recent Saudi show. Cody and Jade both won title opportunities at the most recent Saudi show, which in Cody's case led to the single biggest match of the year. The Saudi shows are every bit as much of a premium live event as any other that they do. There is no difference in content or quality. The only difference is that the audience is brown.

Given that the WWE Network is still available on Peacock, there are several compelling reasons to keep your subscription, especially if you're a wrestling fan. You can access a vast collection of past matches, documentaries, and original series that provide a comprehensive look at WWE history. In addition to the WWE Network, Peacock offers exclusive WWE programming that you won't find on ESPN or Netflix. It's also important to remember that Peacock is not limited to wrestling. It provides a wide range of content, including:
Movies and TV shows: A diverse library that includes popular series, classic films, and original content.
News and sports: Access to NBC's news programming and other sports content that might interest you.
While it may feel like you're paying for multiple subscriptions, consider the overall value:
Bundling options: If you subscribe to multiple services, check for any bundles that could save you money, bitch.
Promotions: Look out for promotional offers that might make Peacock more appealing, sucka!

Current WWE makes that distinction very hard, I'll give you that. Wrestlepalooza felt like a glorified house show, as did the previous PLE.
You said a house show has no title changes, which is not true. A glorified house show is basically every WWE PLE this year so far.

fraid no. ESPN is the home of WWE PLEs, Peacock the home of NXT PLEs.
That's a big distinction. If Cena retired at Mania or Survivor Series, it'd be hard to call it a house show. He should honestly get his own PLE on ESPN.
Retiring on a TV show that isn't even on broadcast television, but on the NXT streaming service is pretty lame.

He has an event themed entirely around him, and it's the final quarterly SNME of the year. I assumed this would be Cena's last match even back when his retirement was announced, because it would be the last major show of the year. And now that it's exclusive to Peacock it'll probably have no commercial interruption either.

That's households so individual viewers would be 1.4 times that based on data so over 3 million by ratings standards. What tv show is doing that now? None? Okay, now go back to spamming nonsense nobody wants to see.
