Look, I get you're getting paid for these sponsorships but good grief these adverts have made the whole show look ridiculous and cheap.
Anyone else being put off massively by the adverts everywhere around the ring?

Honestly, not really bothering me. I watch all sorts of sports, it took me all of like half a match to adjust to it

I make some jokes about it in the live threads but don't really mind it. At least the PRIME bottle is transparent for now.

The Prime logo wasn’t nearly as obnoxious as I imagined it would be. And I don’t mind the barrier advertisements much at all.
Cole mentioning the sponsors so often is a little grating though.

Compared to like the NBA the WWE barely has any advertising if you think about it. If the NBA were running WWE every inch of surface would be covered in advertising. Advertising on all of the wrestlers gear.

It's something I can definitely joke about but other than the, "Uhhh, maybe reconfigure what match gets what, guys," of the six woman tag being sponsored by chicken wings I don't really mind it. And even then no part of me thinks that was on purpose.

I don't often watch but between Smackdown and this, oh my god what the crap? Smackdown at least has the excuse that it's not PPV. Funny enough I barely noticed the prime logo on the ring map and the set up with the drinks didn't really distract. For me the most distracting were the ringside displays. There was one moment where I thought a red flag was randomly in the ring, then I realized it was one of those displays. However, if you're going to have advertising all over the ring and commercials throughout your freaking PPV at least lay off with every segment being sponsored. Dear God. The only saving grace is that I wasn't watching live so I could skip a lot of it.

It's the Chicken Wings and colours everywhere around the ring advertising Yeah I was watching highlights and noticed the Prime logo straight away on the mat, but then I didn't really notice it once I saw all the sponsors on the damn barricades. Just too much. I would say, though, I think having four smaller Prime logos in the corners of the ring would be better than a bigger one in the middle.

The general concept is fine and if anything, it's surprising it took this long. Look at boxing, in two or three years every inch of that mat is going to be covered in sponsors.
They surely have to have a bit of quality control when it comes to the brands they are working with though. Dude Wipes is one thing if you're a podcast, but plastering it all over your most premium event?

New ownership being TKO and thus very MMA centric means they really, really see the benefit of getting sponsors for everything, including now having a logo dead center in the ring So I don't see this going away, rather I see it getting worse, and it's gaudy as f***

The placement of the Dude Wipes was just unintentional comedy.
And my partner turned to me during the tag title match and said "the advertising is very distracting" and I just sighed and nodded.

Made the show look cheap and ugly. And in a year's time, they won't be being paid by the same people but if they ever wanna do a career retrospective of one of the people in ring they'll have to have 'Dude Wipes' or something similarly embarassing emblazoned everywhere.
Wonder if arena creators in 2K24 are gonna make variations for every shitty advert.

Distracting, but to be honest, I thought the night 1 main event sponsor would have made a pretty creative name for Cody/Seth's tag team
