Exclusive: The rise and fall of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) is to be explored in a new docuseries for Vice TV.
Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia, founders of Seven Bucks Productions, are exec producing Who Killed WCW?
WCW was founded by Ted Turner in 1988 after his Turner Broadcasting System acquired the assets of National Wrestling Alliance territory Jim Crockett Productions. It competed aggressively with the then-titled WWF (now WWE), regularly beating it in the ratings on Monday nights where its Monday Nitro outrated Monday Night Raw. However, it endured significant losses and suffered from the merger between Turner parent Tim Warner and AOL and was shut down in 2001.
The series, which premieres on June 4, will explore the complex factors that led to the promotion’s downfall, including management challenges, creative decisions, and the intense competition during the infamous Monday Night Wars. It will feature exclusive, in-depth interviews with wrestlers, executives,...

NBCUniversal announced on Monday that it was raising the price of a Peacock subscription by $2 per month on both of its tiers.
The peacock has always been a sign of extravagant wealth, and NBCUniversal appears to be leaning into that stereotype. As forecast by The Streamable's experts, on Tuesday, NBCU announced that it will be raising the subscription price of its streamer Peacock, and that beginning this summer, both of its two plans will cost $2 per month more than they do now. If that’s a little too much to pay for the relatively smaller content library of Peacock, and you’re thinking about canceling the service before the price hike kicks in, check below for options that will allow you to watch a much larger array of content for the same amount, or even less, each month!
Key Facts: Netflix offers ad-supported streaming for $1 per month less than Peacock’s new price.

Amazon has leveraged the power of Nielsen ratings for “Thursday Night Football,” and Netflix could do likewise going forward.
After making its first major sports-adjacent deal in its history, there’s officially room to speculate on what sports Netflix could pursue next. Netflix signed a 10-year, $5 billion deal to stream “WWE Raw” starting in 2025 in late January, and industry talking-heads are already wondering what other sports Netflix could go after. But with Netflix’s recent decision to no longer report its subscriber totals to the public, will it still be able to convince sports leagues it wants to partner with that it’s a good potential broadcaster for their games?
Netflix has nearly 270 million customers but will stop reporting its totals publicly in Q1 2025. Company co-ceo Ted Sarandos said Netflix isn’t anti-sports, but pro-growth. Prime Video uses Nielsen ratings to quantify its sports successes, and Netflix could do likewise in the future.

The Golden State Warriors have been in “playoff” mode for a while now down the stretch. So, if they do manage to make the 2024 NBA playoffs to face the top-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder, you better believe they’ll be ready.

The streamer will stop reporting global subscriber numbers publicly, a sign that it believes its subscriber base could be reaching maturity.
Netflix may feel that it no longer has anything to prove to its competitors. The streamer reported this week that it maintained its position as the world’s largest on-demand video service, adding 9.3 million customers to raise its global total to 269.6 million. The company still has important goals, such as passing the 10% of total TV viewing time; Netflix does not exceed this amount in any country in the world as of now. But it will no longer report its subscriber numbers publicly starting in 2025, begging the question of how much larger the streamer can truly get, and how it will boost engagement to reach the coveted 10% milestone it wants to reach.
Greg Peters told analysts during the company’s earnings conference call that it reaches 500 million people around the world currently.

The Miz, John Cena and R-Truth got busy in the ring at Judgment Day at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
The trio jumped at three other wrestlers as the audience cheered during Monday Night Raw.
“I’m crossing my fingers and toes, and my heart that maybe – maybe just maybe – I can tell the Hollywood world to pump the brakes for a while and come back to my family for one last run,” Cena noted on the Pat McAfee Show before the event. “I hope, I don’t know. I hope, I’m trying, we’ll see what happens.”
In February, Cena stripped down at the Oscars for a bit with host Jimmy Kimmel.
“Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? I said, can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?” Kimmel said at the awards ceremony.

Heels might be headed back to the ring.
The drama, which was unceremoniously canceled along with a couple more series as Starz cleaned house in September, has been licensed to Netflix by Lionsgate Worldwide Television Distribution. With the acquisition, Netflix will have non-exclusive rights to the two-season, 16-episode library of the wrestling drama starring Stephen Amell (Arrow) and Alexander Ludwig (Vikings).
Sources also note that while Netflix has not renewed the series, the streamer could wind up doing so should Heels perform well on the platform. Those same sources also caution that a third season, even in success, could still be a logistical challenge. Amell — a die-hard wrestling fan who often would perform his own stunts on Heels — signed on in February as the lead in NBC’s highly anticipated spinoff of Suits. The offshoot of the former USA Network original is one of but five pilots in the works at NBC.
The drama, which was unceremoniously canceled along with a couple more series as Starz cleaned house in September, has been licensed to Netflix by Lionsgate Worldwide Television Distribution. With the acquisition, Netflix will have non-exclusive rights to the two-season, 16-episode library of the wrestling drama starring Stephen Amell (Arrow) and Alexander Ludwig (Vikings).
Sources also note that while Netflix has not renewed the series, the streamer could wind up doing so should Heels perform well on the platform. Those same sources also caution that a third season, even in success, could still be a logistical challenge.

Since the February 2nd episode of Friday Night SmackDown, The Rock has indeed made a highly anticipated return to WWE programming, hinting at regular appearances leading up to WrestleMania 40. His involvement in an ongoing feud with Cody Rhodes made it clear that The Great One would play a substantial role in WWE. However, it seems that amidst The Rock’s resurgence in the wrestling world, there are allegations from a professional wrestler accusing him of stealing the ‘Final Boss’ moniker.

Fans are eagerly anticipating a potential showdown between The Rock and Roman Reigns, but there’s also a collective desire to ensure that Cody Rhodes’ storyline isn’t overshadowed. Initially, there were concerns about this imbalance, but a more balanced approach has been adopted. Therefore, Cody Rhodes will still get to face Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 40, but he still has to contend with The Rock before that.

New data from Ampere Analysis demonstrates which sports could make viable acquisition targets for Netflix going forward.
Netflix has kept its messaging on the addition of more sports rights incredibly consistent throughout the years. Company officials have repeatedly denied that Netflix wants to be a sports streaming platform, but its forays into the field seem to bely those denials to a certain degree. Earlier this year, the world’s largest streamer closed a deal to become the host of “WWE Raw” starting in 2025, and recently announced a live boxing card headlined by Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. Those deals could set the table for Netflix to go after other sports rights in the future and new data released by Ampere Analysis is helping to quantify which sports might be best for Netflix to pursue going forward, and why.

NBCUniversal has competition for the racing league, whose current broadcast deal expires at the end of this season.
The 2024 IndyCar Series has already begun, and by the time it ends, the racing league will need a new broadcast partner. Currently, IndyCar’s rights are held by NBCUniversal, and all races of the 2024 season are slated to appear on NBC-owned networks as well as on streaming service Peacock, but the deal between the circuit and the broadcaster expires following the Music City Grand Prix in September.
