Wait, what? They're having the NXT special start at 3PM ET for the live version? The fuck? Damn them.
Hello, welcome to Europe where 2 AM is not an acceptable time to start a live sporting event.
You don't have to even go to that extreme. 5 pm ET is 10pm in London. The show is 2 hours long? (or if its 3 hours, 4-4:30 is still not bad)
it's a weeknight and a large portion of their viewers are children? There's no reason to start things later in other countries just for America's sake.
The majority of the east coast is still at work/school at 3PM, which is why I am annoyed at these things. And the majority of the subscriber base is in America, its not just a screw everyone Murica thing, its a common sense business thing,

It really isn't, people are gonna watch it even if it isn't live
They did the same thing for Beast in the East and it was a huge success

my dude it's gonna be noon on the west coast where i'm at. You'll have less people at your event if it starts at ten on a weekday, and it's on the network so you can just watch it when you get home! There's no reason to screw over the people in England.

I know that, and they'll broadcast it at 8pm like it were live, but its still frustrating to me.

You guys are making an argument that I am not about this thing. Its not about "appeasing the east coast" its about the numbers on the Network viewership not looking as good as it could and that potentially being seen as a negative and having some sort of dumb impact on NXT.
Jack Swagger wins a chair fight, knocking the chair out of Del Rio's hands while retaining his own, then chooses to drop the chair and have a wrestling match.
Yep.
1) Silence 2) Books must be returned by the last date shown 3) Do not interfere with the nature of causality

I think they booked the event knowing full well what the potential live viewership numbers would be, and are more than ok with that.
Besides, as a network event, live viewership isn't important in the first place.

Alberto's probably thinking he shouldn't have given WWE another chance about now. I think the last Jack Swagger fued took place on Superstars.
I've not really been exposed to Swagger before this. He really is just a big ol' lump of nothing, isn't he?
he, uh
had a good match with John cena once
it was a really good match!

Swagger still has one of the best themes in the WWE.
I still want the reality where Cesaro won the Andre, turned face, kept the hell away from Paul Heyman and instead rode that theme and the We The People chant to megafacedom as the new Hulk Hogan, just without the racism.

The feud is weird and creepy (with the Lana saving herself shit) that I can't find myself wanting it to happen.

He can stack the stairs.
THAT'S HOW WE GET OUR STAIRS MATCH.
I loved Dean's hand wave while Roman was rambling, like he was telling him to wrap it up.
Because I remember it being about being racist.
Yep.
dude, this is some wirehead-level paranoia

You missed Sasha Banks VS Becky on the pre-show. There was an awesome three way ladder match for the tag titles. Ryback and Rusev had....a match.
can't blame him

I would go further and state that he has never been over under his own power. Even Roman Reigns managed that for a while.
And his gimmick is super-racist and uncomfortably nationalist.
We keep saying we'll never see Jack Swagger on PPV again, and he keeps coming back.
CM Punk just got a pretty good pop.
it was a really good match!
