Woah...watched half of Wrestlemania VII earlier. Came back a few hours later and there was a resume function on the 360 app. Legit progress!!

Was there a reason they referred to this as a 'career ending' match rather than simply a retirement match? The former is just so much more awkward.

he actually got a serious push thanks to the gulf war, then IIRC he fucked it all up by beating his wife and getting involved with other shady stuff didn't he try to burn down the police station too? seem to recall that... So that explains the big gap (1991-2004) in the career section of his wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_Ross)

Well, do you have any idea of the scope of the cutbacks?

Or if they're not going to give me my chapter readings or a workable search function, the video vault will be an easy way to jump into a match (though I realize the benefit of this will be limited to only the likely few matches they put in the vault).

you're addicted to throwing morals out the window, funkdoc. smh.

I'll keep it because I'm lazy and, as many have mentioned, compared to other regular expenses (lunch, non-matinee movies), it's not a big deal. I always throught it odd that the original six month window gives you both Wrestlemania and Summerslam, but now I'm realizing it doesn't give you WM and the Royal Rumble, the latter of which will provide some value to me when it comes around. The only money I've spent on WWE since 2000 prior to this was attending WM 29 and splurging on that year's Royal Rumble. Their rollout of certain content and general inattention to programming has been disappointing, but I just want the user experience to be better. Give me a resume function, an actual search capability and chapter headings so I can easily watch a specific match on a given show (at this point I'd take just match timestamps like many amateur podcasts provide) and I'd be happy.

A link to a collection of TNA gifts would be appreciated. Kurt Angle is still alive, and I recall that not being a given as early as, what, 2009?, so that's something.

I'll be giggling about this for a while. If I were going only by recent WWE docs and countdown specials, I might have to say when DX hung out in a WCW parking lot. Are there any contenders post-2002? Punk promo?

what did i just see:

Where are they saying that and in what context?

who is mystery mark???

Silly questions to follow, but there was some talk of the Authority's Plans A through C during the ppv chatter last night, and since I don't watch, it doesn't make much sense (though I'm guessing even watching doesn't help that much): The Authority's Plans Plan C - Lesnar Plan B - Rollins Plan A - Still Orton?? Is there a reason da authority doesn't view Cena as best for business? When they put Kane in title matches, is it with the express intent that he not win? How could Kane be B4B (just in storyline here)? Why was Reigns in the title match? The viewer could understand how Bryan hijacking Raw and taunting HHH led him to his WM setup. If the authority hates the Shield so much, why given Reigns a shot?

Am I reading this correctly? Did Sheamus and Miz (i) wrestle on Raw; (ii) wrestle on Main Event; (iii) and are scheduled to wrestle on a ppv/network special the same week?

Definitely one of my biggest frustrations with the network. Would be nice to go directly to a match instead of having to blindly fast forward through a PPV. Even just time stamps like many podcasts (podcasts!) provide would be helpful. Unrelated, and we're a long ways away from this being an issue - but they're not going to put up the Owen tribute show, right?

I didn't watch the Monday Night Wars preview earlier this week - did they make it clear how that will work? Are they just going to throw up episodes of Raw/Nitro every week, or will they produce kind of like a post-show discussing each week's episodes and show that at ~11 pm? Not that I'm looking for the latter. I'm not sure what's left to say after the dvd documentaries and legends of wrestling episodes, etc.

Here's a vote against any further uses of rockets or strapping same to someone in line for a push

does anyone know if i can pay more money/per month to never have to listen to the network highlight mike tyson in 1998 ever again?

pics, please

Bob Ryder sued the owner of a1wrestling and one of its message board posters in 2001. Can't believe him and Scherer are still running wild on da internet.

How can they produce more content than they already do??
