How does Netflix get some of the old PLE’s and not the old ECW footage?  Did they buy just part of the Network?

So far it’s pretty clear that Netflix has no in ECW.  It’s no secret how much I loved ECW but it’s been decades now.  They were a super nova that burned brightly and that is fine by me.  I wouldn’t be here without the company.

When Chad Gable is able to return, are there plans for him to resume his role/character as El Grande Americano?  Or has he lost the role to Ludwig Kaiser?  If Gable does resume the character, are we supposed to ignore the height and size differences?

I have no intel but if it was my call I would leave Kaiser in the role.  There is so much that they can do with Gable that he doesn’t need that character.

Would HHH be willing to listen to people who give advice on how he is booking wrong and how he could do better?

I think if anyone said, “Paul, you are booking wrong” they probably wouldn’t have any say or a bright future.  I know that Levesque absolutely listens to ideas from people that he trusts.  

Do you know how the ESPN APP is selling?  As I said before another WWE App is such a $ grabber. When WWE could just easily put the PPVS on either Peacock or Netflix.  But dishing out 40 $ for another App is a $ grabber.

First, I have heard ESPN say that they are very happy with the app.  Remember, WWE is a super small part of it.  They also started the app as a way to get content providers to carry it (and pay carriage fees).  I get the app for free as part of my Hulu Live subscription.  I think most people are getting it in some kind of bundle, not as a standalone service.  Of course WWE is trying to make as much money as possible.  That is their obligation to their shareholders.
