Based on the Paul-Tyson fight happening on Netflix tonight, I hope they learn from it and WWE doesn't suffer this same buffering and freezing, I have no intention of paying for Netflix for RAW, and after seeing this tonight, If I were I'd consider not.

Edit: For what it's worth, I live where the ISP top speeds are at or less than 100mbps and we have several streaming devices going all at once most of the time.

Fingers crossed they look to tonight as a test run and work out the issues.

..also I have not seen the fight yet but it sounded like dog shit so I'll probably skip it.

I want to say something similar happened with Peacock. I think they tried streaming the Olympics or something and it was shit. Then they got WWE and it was still kind of shit, but they eventually figured everything out.

God NBC's Olympics coverage has been shit since I was a child. Life pro tip for everyone: When the Olympics come around just use CBC. We Canadians don't fuck around, we've constantly had perfect coverage of everything as long as I can remember without 8h of talking heads being interjected by 14 seconds of competition. (VPN is required but it's also 2024 and ya'll should be using em anyway lol)

Yeah, it's likely growing pains as they venture into live sporting events. I remember this happened to Amazon when Thursday Night Football moved to Prime. They had some problems the first few games until their team dialed in how to get it out smoothly to that many viewers.

Netflix may have messed up with the Paul-Tyson fight, but their real test may be coming at Christmas when they air two NFL games. Those NFL fans are going to be way more rabid if that fails.

The women's bout before the main event though was something else, I'd watch that over the main event.

Just saw a pic of the gash over who I assume to be the loser's right eye, fucking ow, will def watch.

This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.

Rules: (Click to expand)

1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

6. Banned Source(s).

Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:

  • WrestleVotes
  • RingSideNews
  • Brad Shepard
