They won't let you download it but people will rip it. It was easy to do so on the older Classics Online shows until they changed how they encoded them around teh time they were putting up Superstars in April '92 and forward and Challenge '89...couldnt get it to work after that...I paid for the service.. In my opinion, I am paying for that video, if I want it for my own use to watch when I want WHENEVER and WHEREEVER, I should be able to.....as long as I dont sell it.

If this was asked before, sorry.I did a search on Download and couldnt find this answer.. Will paying customers be able to capture hte videos they watch to local PC to watch or put on DVD for their own use if needed? I woudlnt pay for it if I couldnt do that....

Was she talking? I think her lips may have been moving, not sure, too busy watching other parts move.... Damn she was HOT back then...I dont give a shit WHO she was with, if I had a shot at that time with her, best believe I'd hit it.

If you have any DB issues or technical things, I can try and help as I am a Systems Admin.. But make sure your DB backups are hte FULL DB and not the latest delta...I prefer getting a good, FULL, flat file backup (*.bak) if using SQL...They are easy to restore and stay stable. You can alos utilized SQL's newer backup types as well, but make sure its the whole DB and NOT the delta... Thanks!

Yeah, read it last night...really good stuff.....

Thanks Brotha....I would LOVE to get the real business details of that....

What were the terms of the deal that Vince did with his dad and partners to gain ownership of the WWWF? I know his dad was thiniking of selling, so VKM stepped in, but have always been curious about the business side of the deal? Anyone with some deeper knowledge of it?

When Vince was given Bangor by his father in the early 70's, What was he given in terms of talent / arenas / etc.. - want to see the results of the shows over that time What was the area like at the start? How did it grow over the 6 months he talked about? What was the final thing that made his dad say "OK, you are good, come on in, to the whole WWWF?" Thanks!

This is a match that grew on me over time...the first time I saw it live (on TV), I hated it and thought it dragged...When I got my first set of Clash VHS in early 2000's, I rewatched and didnt like it again, and got bored. But I have watched it probably 5 times since and each time it gets better and better... BUT, man would I have loved this to have been Sheep vs. Fants...with all the chemistry they had, a national TV match could have been what 86 Crockett Cup match is said to be in full, but this one we'd have in full... Fants go through all this and win the Tag Titles to promptly lose them within 2 weeks.....and they were gone a few weeks afterward...what was teh story there?

Thanks, that helps out a ton... Believe me, I aint knocking the women, they are fine (double meaning..ha ha)..and the blonde that is in between the falls of Casas - Panther...damn, she's hot as hell.. Anyway, way off topic...I appreciate the info there, will help me out a lot as I continue to watch and see what its like... Who are the main guys? Is CMLL the only big promotion left? Anything else I need to know?

I spent 10 minutes typing up what I didnt like about Lucha multi mans from last week and then watch the Dragon Lee... vs. ....Raziel and loved the fuck out of it...ALL OF IT...a GREAT match with good wrestling, great moves, counters...etc.... Also watched Angle vs. Roode - no chance this wins for me...the cage escape parts were painful to watch, especially when Roode was trying to slide out the door. he takes his foot at one point and puts it back up on the cage door and waits for Angle...that KILLED it for me...and WHY is Kurt taking that dive still..STOP IT Casas vs. Panther was OK...I enjoyed the submissions, but dont know enough about the guys and feud to get a personal feel about it.. Where can I learn about current and past lucha? The feuds and stars and such.. I have listened to the primer done by Will and co but looking for more of a storyline, feud perspectives... Thanks!

I should have been clearer...its hte multi-man matches that I dont like...the singles stuff I am starting to enjoy more, but even that isnt something I really like yet. I will preface this saying that I dont understand what is going on fully, and I have some questions that I will ask at the end... But for the multi mans....just seems like a bunch of guys running aroudn doing acrobatics with each other ending in some move, repeat. Not a lot of believability to me. I easily moved into Puro in the last 18 months after never seeing it before, but I just cant get into Lucha yet, but want to be sold on it as I hear soo much good talk about it. The 80's set I am starting on but watching the singles matches first due to my feelings about the multi-mans. I havent seen a ton so I dont want to make this an "all around" statement, but if the 6 man here was voted the best, then it must be at least good and I dont understand why. As for the questions..OK, just a few for now... 1. Its 2/3 falls, cool. What is going on in between falls? Why are they allowed to beat on each other and fight in between while the ref just lets it go? 2. In next week's (this week's now) match between Casas / Panther..Panther gets jumped and beat down and is up in 5 seconds..and that happens a lot..why no serious selling? Also, another question..what's up with all the women? Dont get me wrong, eye candy is fantastic, but the lucha stuff has a high volume of it...what is the cultural part there? SELL ME DYLAN and GRIMMAS!!! I will gladly admit I dont ahve a large swath of stuff to call from seeing, so I wont make "I hate it all" generalizations with little viewing...

BOOO...but that is just me, as I just dont "get" lucha...I dont know why, but just not my cup of tea...I cant buy into the matches.. What am I missing?

Maybe he thought "Hogan? Really? Hogan? You dont wanna face Hogan yet..."OK, here...how about Norton...how's that sound? Its my final offer!" Its amazing looking back that they still held that out until December for the match....I would say that wouldnt happen today.....I know Rock and Cena kind of did it, but Rock was gone for a large part of it and not showing up each week...

Everything I have seen from the NWA in terms of teh World Title has been good, even after the mess with Pearce and Cabana....I enjoyed Conway's reign..he had some good defences...using the Japanese promotions heavily is a GREAT idea.. The NWA will NEVER be the high known HUGE company again...unless wrestling in general hits a boom...but check out some of the major champions and their defences...some wont disappoint..

Son a bitch....that Americos vs. Kinkaid match freezes at 15:30, right near the end I think..I wnna see the end Really enjoyed what I saw...it grew on me as it went along. Nothing special, but the best of these choices I'd say.. Glad to see this thread.....forces me to watch some new stuff to get my wrestling blood going again..

Would 2002 Shawn, now being "reborn" have put Booker over at that point? They had a backstory when Shawn superkicked Booker on RAW to "teach him a lesson".... THe Summerslam match with HHH, would there have been stipulations like if HHH loses he MUST join the NWO? Then with him winning, what next? Shawn was threatening HHH to make a choice or else the week before the NWO thing was scrapped? HHH ran into Nash / X-Pac / Shawn at King of The Ring in the back, and man, I marked out....I was still a HUGE HHH / HBK / Nash / Kid.....Clique fan at that time...so was hoping we'd finally see them all together... If only Hall's issues wouldnt have come back as well... Anyway, I am rambling...let me know if you know abotu HHH vs. Nash stips or where it was going from there if anyone knows...

If Nash doesnt get hurt in the big match in July on RAW and Vince kills the NWO...what was the plan to go from there with the NWO? With Shawn in as well as Nash and others and the HHH angle starting...how far would the angle have gone? Nash vs. HHH at Summerslam I heard Charles say on teh HBK show with Will, but what after that? Does Shawn wrestle right away? Being a HUGE NWO mark, I was psyched with HBK joined....hence the only two comps I ever made were NWO in WWE 2002 that floats around and the NWO 1999-2000 run with Bret / Jarrett / Nash and the gang that also ended with a thud...and I will say FOREVER if done right and Jarrett and Bret dont get hurt, that angle could have gone somewhere....
