She’s gone from suck to blow!

With a nod to Spaceballs....

the Peacock/NBC went from excellent first session coverage to straight up shitt by not having every mat available.

WTF is so hard about KEEPING coverage?

I didn't miss any matches.

Too late now but where did anyone watch mat 1?

Still....you have an app that can do all mats...no reason to not have them all there. This session only 3 and 4 were available there.

I think it might have been streaming in NBCSN? I had both Peacock and YouTube TV open so I could watch the Zain/McKenna bout.

 

[Cowbell Man]

I had NBCSN going as well. Grrrrr.

it’s still easy. Play what you want on your major stream services like NBCSN,but early mat should be available on your aggregate app. Sheesh. Thank you ESPN for showing how it’s done..

 

[Nook_Shneer]

I don't think any matches were wrestled on Mat1, and seemed like only a few on Mat4.

 

[Ian]

Definitely. The NBCS broadcast was mediocre at best. For whatever reason they were simply locked in on one mat and many times there was better action elsewhere. Not sure why they didn’t use more split screen other than the analysis by Smith would have been less.

Speaking of and not sure if anyone else caught it but I had peacock on prior to the liver coverage beginning and all of a sudden a live mat view came on and one of the commentators was dropping a few f bombs when wondering/describing the J’Den debacle. Pretty funny. Lasted less than 30 seconds but it was pretty funny.

Four matches, all GR or WFS, were wrestled on Mat 1, and Zain McKenna was scheduled to be the last. People going berserk finally got USAW's attention though and Zain was moved to Mat 4.

I can't understand why they didn't go split screen on the semifinals and start them at the same time like the NCAA. They could give you the option then of streaming a mat if you wanted to only see one particular match.

The good part was that the streaming quality was excellent.

But it's practically contemptuous to force fans to camp out on Track, where you're constantly forced to click through ads and YouTube videos, while simultaneously juggling multiple screens on a new TV streaming service, which is still working out the beta kinks.

In the short term, sure, you got a few new people to subscribe to Peacock who'll forget to cancel before the 7-day trial ends (and on day eight they'll be pissed when they realize they forgot), but you burned a lot of good will in the process, because there was no reason at all this event should have been as difficult to watch as it was. All it would've taken is better communication around mat assignments with links to the matches people wanted to see. Perhaps a dedicated Twitter account, perhaps a scrolling ticker at the bottom of each feed with links. When Flo bought Track I figured it might've worked to fans benefit because Arena is at least more user friendly than Track, yet we're still using Track as if that buy never occurred.

Well they did spend 1.7 million on a lawsuit so they will be eating off the dollar menu for a few months.

funny. I’m bitching about the mat coverage by NBC and am told it was available but I missed it Zain somehow.

you are like others bitching about mat assigments on track yet I found the “mat schedule” on track that had zero ads, and a refresh button that did exactly that without so much as a whiff of an ad. Just hit it all weekend and boom....mat assignments as deep as 3 on deck
Lol.

I guess I wasn't the only one watching with the accompanying barrel strength bourbon.

Track wrestling & their mat assignments was the key.

I guess some of us are used to following mat assignments on Track or FloArena.

Those folks who didn’t do their homework ahead of time - didn’t have the apps ready and didn’t have mat assignments loaded - well...

What can I say.

Maybe you were the type to never study before your exams in school.

Lol. True. I thought I did.
Then realized Peacock isn’t an aggregate site like...you know....the rest of the network sites. Then they split up the NBS Sports app coverage too so....while it was possible to find all the mats and coverage and when you did the coverage was good.....

but seriously....NBC has Peacock. Put ALL the coverage there with every stream and still have TV network coverage as described. It’s not rocket science.
