Was Netflix the Catalyst to Vince McMahon's Exit? | Ep. 13

Should people be as upset as they are about Margot Robbie's Barbie Oscars nomination snub and finally, inside Jeff Bezoz's 60th birthday party. All that and a little bit more on The Traitors with Marina and Richard on this episode of The Rest Is Entertainment.

    Paul Levesque - we are a different company. The weird thing is, is that endeavour/TKO never gave Paul a pre-prepared statements during the royal rumble premium live event regarding Vince at their own media post event. I mean, all, Paul kept on saying was we’re a different company, not only that it’s also difficult for him because he married into the McMahon family in 2003, although he’d been with Vince‘s daughter for about three years at that point and at this point, they have three daughters of their own it’s just awkward. Even former talent have come out, and said that Vince kind of lost his mind and/or they’ve lost all respect for him. All Vince needed to do was pay the additional $2 million that was owed because there was already an NDA in place, that didn’t happen, Janel (someone Vince took on as a PA) rightfully, so decided it was time to share her truth, and this is where we are at. What happened to Janel (if true) is absolutely disgusting, and it’s made worse by the fact that his former head of talent relations knew about it, and also was a participant, the only thing we don’t know is who knew what outside of the two people mentioned, although Brock Lesnar at this point has been removed from the company due to being linked to Vince. At this point, they’re trying to erase Vince, at the wrestlemania 40 press conference. Paul did a history lesson where he basically avoided using Vince‘s name. The attitude era (an era regarded by most fans, as the best era in professional wrestling) is very much embedded with Vince himself in storyline and those sorts of things, so the question becomes is how do these things that people may want to see how is that going to be presented going forward, or is it just going to fade and people are going to pretend it doesn’t exist?

    While I agree Margot Robbie probably didn’t deserve the nomination, it is crazy that Greta Gerwig didn’t get a nomination as the director when she directed one of the biggest movies of the year. The academy really watched the movie about society not allowing women to be successful, and then decided to only nominate one woman for the Best Director Oscar.

Also it’s pronounced Vince McMaNN not McMarnn. However, lovely you’re talking about wrestling.

    You’ve both got it wrong about the traitors, like everyone else. Saying Jaz wouldn’t have wanted to banish anyone else if he was a traitor. We all know that. Mollie knew that. What Mollie also thought she knew was that NONE OF THEM WERE TRAITORS. Of course, she was wrong, but in that situation she thought none of them were traitors so Jaz had just put her in a horrible position of having to decide who to split the money with. Or, more precisely, who to take the money from. To Mollie, Jaz has just put her in a nightmare for no reason. It was never about Jaz being a traitor or not, it was about Jaz possibly being a money grabbing little shit. For her, right then, in that situation. She was 100% Harry was faithful because he had done brilliantly. Jaz should mentioned it earlier about Harry. Nobody in that show ever had any evidence as to who the traitors were. Across all versions/series there’s only ever been evidence in season two of the Australian one, but they were all too stupid and always banished the person who brought-up that evidence, so ignore that whole series. Across all the others, theres has been no evidence. In this season of our version, it was only ever traitors getting rid of traitors. All apart from Jaz, who finally had something but chose to use it in the final. I understand he didn’t want to get murdered, but he really should’ve said something sooner. Even just a day earlier would’ve helped his cause. Even if it wasn’t at the round table, he should’ve floated the idea around a few people, and someone would have put together that maybe a traitor got that “secret” shield so they could pretend someone had tried to murder them and recruit a patsy (poor Ross!). Now, I paused the video to type this, just as Richard was saying there was no logical reason for Jaz voting to Banish again, so they might actually say this! 😂

    The thing was Molly didn't know if Jaz or Harry were traitors, they could have both been faithfuls. She could have interpreted Jazz's vote to continue to banish as Jaz being mistaken or greedy (split the money between fewer people). Interestingly, Jaz had been playing the most logical game amongst the faithfuls and Molly the most social game and both made it to the end. Harry was good at shutting down arguments against him - he'd put his case once and that was it - no further arguments - and the discussion moved on to someone else, seemingly vindicating him no matter how bad his case was.

    If the experience for existing customers of Netflix is impacted negatively by the pricey acquisition of WWE, I'd expect an exodus. What was the last must watch Netflix original? If the quality of output Netflix became renowned for continues to diminish, I doubt many will keep their subscription for 'roid raging, latex clad, amateur actors dispensing inferiorly scripted drama. Chewing gum for the eyes. They've already wrecked a dead cert intellectual property in The Witcher - seemed harder to mess up than succeed. Disney+ will gain further ground I suspect.

    @karajaneadams7667 my point was not directly concerned with the cost to the customer, although in a convoluted way it is, but more to the high price paid for licensing a piece of entertainment that seems extraordinarily niche and presumably not particularly appealing to the majority of existing customers (I don’t recall the outcry from Netflix customers demanding WWE). My argument would be that the fee paid for WWE could have been utilised better to commission more original content. Maybe I underestimate the appeal of WWE, that remains to be seen. For me, it’s glorified pantomime and I’ll be avoiding it like the plague.

    Yes, this is sort of what I came here to say. Netflix used to be a must-have. Now it's lost a lot of valuable content to other streaming services, it's killed or cancelled its own valuable properties, and it's added lots of B- and C-quality content. I have zero interest in wrestling or ultimate fighting, so Netflix's efforts to get me to watch it are just going to be annoying, and if subscription prices go up in a year or two to help Netflix cover content costs -- as you know they will -- well... there are other options out there.

    @karajaneadams7667firstly, the uprise can be explained by the password clampdown, which consisted largely of existing consumers becoming actual customers when they couldn’t use a family/friend login - not because Netflix acquired loads of new consumers. Secondly, and more to the point, comedy is subjective and taste is personal (although often swayed and informed by popular consensus) - totally understandable you won’t like everything. If I examine my consumption of Netflix content, without access to actual data, I reckon I watch about 10/15% of the available showings and that may be generous. In the past 6-12 months it feels like that percentage is dropping and a cursory exploration of the zeitgeist suggests I’m not unique in this. So the question remains, is the large fee for WWE well spent or would that money be better spent commissioning original content (in the fields Netflix are synonymous with)? I don’t have the market research in front of me, so it’s complete speculation and my guess is - it won’t be the winner Netflix hopes.

    I watched this episode earlier today, before which I knew nothing of the details of the allegations against McMahon (don't think I've spelt that right)/WWE. I have now heard some details of what is aleged. The allegations are hanious and given that this is not the first time he has had allegations of this sort of nature against him and he preemptively resigned adds to the stink. Others within WWE are implicated on an individual basis as well as the organisation as an entity, as it is alleged details were shared around about the acuser to 'stars' within WWE + people wishing to join up, which could only be to humiliate and keep her subjugated. Given all of this, where was Netflix's due diligence? + In my mind this tarnishes WWE as an entire entity - with this in mind, can I ask that you refrain from expressing your enjoyment of WWE until the case has gone through its process. I feel its respectful. I'm not one who can separate the work and those responsible & whether you agree with that way of engaging with the world or not, I say, come on, it's wresting, light entertainment + not important in the grander scheme of things. There's plenty of other shiney plastic rubbish out there if you want entertainment, which hopefully wouldn't require you to suppress any moral considerations. Please consider the wider picture, light entertainment is not as important as treating people with basic decency.

    @karajaneadams7667 it's about way more than NDA, it reads as traumatising, systematic denigration/sexual abuse. How this has clearly been hushed over the years for commerce, is a further disgusting element of this. The details remind me of Weinstein, maybe not as widespread - details may yet come that contradict that, though equally, if not more deplorable. It may not be possible for people appearing of KZread portals to discuss the full details, though again I ask for people to stop defending wrestling - this stuff is incidious and can't be separated.
