She is not thrilled.

But I'm with Jakyl. I don't understand why you'd get rid of cheap programming that only makes your product more interesting. The worst thing they did was put 205 Live after Smackdown and making it so if you want to watch Talking Smack, you need to wait an hour.

Like, it just makes no sense to me. In two days you have 6 hours of wrestling with Raw, Smackdown, and Talking Smack. With 205 Live that's 7 hours. With a PPV, you're looking at up to 11 hours in three days. That's ridiculous. Why not just put 205 Live on Thursday? It makes no sense to me.

And I always thought Talking Smack was very much underutilized as a plot-strengthening show. You have people talk, but unless it was the Miz situation or people being attacked, they didn't acknowledge the show at all. Why not, after Baron Corbin talks some shit, have Sami Zayn come out on Smackdown the next week and go "Hey, what the hell guy? I heard you were saying x on Talking Smack. I have a problem with that." Or have matches set up on there. Or have guys actually be challenging one another on the show? Or hell, do anything to further a plot on there that wasn't just guy randomly beats up another guy.

I dunno, it doesn't make much sense to me. It had a following. It was fun. It couldn't have been expensive. Seems like it would've been better to keep it to keep bragging about your original WWE Network content.
