Unfiltered, Hidden Gems and Talking f*cking Smack. Oh bless ye Talking Smack, that "universe" wasn't ever ready for all that you offered.

These are just three of the well-liked projects the WWE Network dropped cold due to what presumably must have been low engagement figures, but the reaction from sizeable portions of the Twitterati the WWE craves acceptance from suggested that all of the cuts were too sharp.

Renee Young - an irreplaceable gift to the company that they'll only truly know the extent of when she inevitably takes a much better job - and Daniel Bryan's panel show was funny and so full of life that injected every flatlining SmackDown talent with all that it had to spare. Unfiltered did a similar job, whilst Hidden Gems proffered the ethos that uncovered the lost Bret Hart/Tom Magee classic and a series and sights and sounds a dark web of wrestling nerds have craved for decades.

To dorks like your writer, Razor Ramon in long tights was worth every penny from that month's tenner. Bring back months like that!
