Wrestling icon, CM Punk, expresses his thrill and anticipation for the inaugural airing of WWE RAW on Netflix.
At the recent WWE RAW on Netflix Launch Event, Punk verbalized his thoughts on the significance of the debut, the capacity for the company’s expansion through Netflix, and more.
Below, you can find a few standout moments from the show:
Reflecting on the debut’s significance: “If you take a historical look at the professional wrestling landscape, during the territorial period that filled stadiums, like Shea Stadium and others, no one could have imagined that it would make its way onto cable television – but it did. We just witnessed a packed Nassau Coliseum for Saturday Night’s Main Event. It seems to me like a similar watershed moment… These hardcore fans are the lifeblood of our industry. What being on mainstream network television in the 80s for Saturday Night’s Main Event did in terms of creating dedicated fans and drawing new spectators to WWE, I believe Netflix can replicate.”
Regarding the company’s potential growth via Netflix: “In my opinion, the impact is going to surpass all of our projections and expectations.”
