Talking Smack wasn’t the only WWE Network show to be cancelled, as the company decided to canceled Renee Young’s “Unfiltered” series.
While responding to questions from fans on Twitter about the cancellation of Talking Smack, Renee Young revealed that her WWE Network Series Unfiltered has been also canceled.
While talking about the cancellation of Talking Smack on Friday’s episode of Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez indicated that the company may be making changes to some of it’s programming on the WWE Network.
It was previously reported that WWE decided to cancel Talking Smack because it wasn’t getting the viewership that the company was hoping for. Alvarez indicated that 205 Live could possibly be getting a change as well if fans don’t tune into the show. The general feeling right now is that not enough people are watching 205 Live, which could ultimately led to some changes before the year ends.
WWE has decided to cancel Talking Smack’s weekly series and will only continue to air as a post-PPV broadcast instead.
Dave Meltzer mentioned on Twitter that the reason the company decided to cancel the show was because not enough people were watching it.
According to Daniel Bryan, he wasn’t even aware of the show being canceled until he came online:
Sports Illustrated claims that The Hardy Boyz were willing to pay between $10,000 and $15,000 for the rights to the “BROKEN” gimmick. This same deal would have included a non-disparagement clause and the Hardys sending out a press release to end the conflict on good terms.
As the deal was approaching completion, Anthem Sports reportedly tried to pull a a fast one and wanted more out of the deal. One of the things they asked for was 50% of all Hardy revenue which including Jeff Hardy’s art and music. The Hardys saw this as a ‘monumental heist and money-grab’ and the deal was not made.
The plan now is for Jeff Jarrett to stall the agreement in hopes that The Hardys will give up pursuing the case.
