All that buildup for the past 2 years just to make him lose.
-
Are you sure cos I reff remember then releasing Bio vids like Jesse Ventura, Kurt Angle and many others. That was WWF Home Video, not Coliseum, which as Migs says died in 1997. Regardless if Home Video versions exist unedited they should show them.

Its baffling why Vince wants to try again in this venture when the last one cost him alot of money. Wouldn't that money be better suited invested in wrestling?
-
I really hope the off air segments make the upload. Raw had so many and quite a few on Heat were filmed as highlights at times were shown on Raw so no excuses that they didnt film any.

Jeff Hardy winning the belt im suprised wasen't saved for Wrestlemania.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4

Just been watching No Way Out 2001 and I really didn't see why Show had to interfere during the match especially the way it was done when he wasen't part of the match, I can remember most things with his feud with Rock but this match he didnt have any business in getting involved when the storyline wasent about him. Then there was the Rock Bottom where supposedly Kurt kicked out when he didn't, he just lays on the mat. Not really sure why Hunter had to go over in his match when he was moving onto to Taker and Austin was what Wrestlemania was built on this year. I've never been one to like a title change this close to mania, either keep Rock as champ in October 2000 or make it Angle/Austin at Wrestlemania instead. -
Only if you like shows with massive amounts of edits. I thought the CHV versions were pretty identical to the Live PPVs. Well I could have sworn Unforgiven 2000 was. Coliseum died in '97. Are you sure cos I reff remember then releasing Bio vids like Jesse Ventura, Kurt Angle and many others.

My favorite part of this is Gorilla thought it was hilarious and spent weeks replaying it on Primetime. I remember when Gorilla enjoyed seeing Heenan get beatup by Bossman when he had the bruised wrist in 1990. -
Lashley would be a better choice.
-
Thats why im trying not to watch the Rumble. I don't want to watch 90 minutes then get pissed off because who I wanted to win didn't then feel I wasted 90 mins watching it. Ill just wait and see who wins and then decide if its worth my time.

Like the Sheik did at Mania 2001? Id rather Hogan was in this.

Its still miles better than Brock/Reigns. -

Yeah, he drops in occasionally during 1992, but he's not full time on SN until '93. He is doing Worldwide with Schiavone every week at this point. Id prefered Worldwide to Sat Night.

Is it likely the old XFL games would hit the network?
-
Plerase don't give it to Crapman. Make it more unpredictable and be someone else.

A lot of the early content on the network (ie: all the PPV shows) were just re uploads of the WWE 24/7 versions which were done when WWF had to be censored. The only thing that was undone from that era was restoring all the Benoit related stuff, other than the large amounts of commentary edited off the 2007 Night of Champions show since it was the announcers repeating that Benoit was not there due to a family emergency (which of course sounds about a billion times worse today without the context that the show was the day before everything was discovered). Wouldn't they have been better off just uploading the Coliseum Home Video Versions?
-
I wouldn't go by crowd reactions by who the bigger star was. With Bryan Im struggling to think of 10 decent matches he had, I mean I can think og the ones like the Mania triple threat, Cena, but other than that im stumped. Now Hardy well I can think of the ladder match vs Taker, the triple threat at armageddeon, morrison, Jericho, punk, TLC Triple Threat Tag matches, HBK, RVD, Styles in TNA.
-
Whats up with PPV versions on the network? Rumble 2001 has the WWF name censored and Austins music has been dubbed to his 1998 one yet the Raws are unedited with Disturbed intact.
-
Id say Jeff Hardy just for the fact he pretty much won every title and bagged both World Titles.
-
Oh I hope so I want 1998 Attitude extra segments. There won't be extras for Heat since those were usually taped before RAW. But there is a specific moment in a highlight package where you see Austin giving McMahon the stunner and the tshirt he wore he only wore once on TV which was on Heat so they deffinately have footage after broadcast.

In the latest interview from wrestling insider Nigel Sherrod, pro wrestling legend Beverly Shade spoke out against the allegations of prostitution, drugging, & stealing that have been directed against her former colleague, the late Fabulous Moolah (Lillian Ellison). With Beverly Shade’s testimony, she is now the 12th former women’s wrestler to denounce the allegations against Moolah, including Leilani Kai, Joyce Grable, Susan “Tex” Green & others, who were trained by and worked directly for Moolah. WWE Superstar Del “The Patriot” Wilkes, who was also trained by The Fabulous Moolah, has also recently spoken out against these allegation. Accusations that Moolah drugged female wrestlers: “I don’t no more agree with that then donkeys can fly… because Moolah didn’t even like for you to smoke a cigarette around her… So I just can’t picture her doing it… I just don’t believe that. Moolah cheating women wrestlers out of money: “She got a percentage of what they (promoters) paid. I don’t know what the percentage was. I know what she paid me.. But if you stop and think about, it’s no different than being an actor, and they’ve got an agent… At the end of the day, I’m the one that took the bookings. She’s the one that offered and I’m the one that went. So if I got screwed, then poor, pitiful me, shame on me… They were talking about Moolah not paying them right, they should’ve worked in the 50s or 60s, they should’ve worked for Nick Gulas… Christine Jarrett was working in the office. And she handed me my envelope, and I opened it up, and I looked, and I called Johnson, Tennessee and I said, “Oh, [Expletive]! We drove all the way to Johnson City & back for $15 and we paid $6 in trans… So if someone wants to complain about money, go work for Nick Gulas.” Ever hearing about Moolah pimping women out: “No, never did… When you’d get bookings you’d say, “Well, I got pimped out on that one.” If you didn’t think what you thought youwas going to make… But never, like you’re talking about. Like pimping the girls out to guys and stuff like that… I knew Moolah well enough to know that she just wasn’t that type of person. Now they may have used the word pimping as far as what they got, moneywise… and somebody took it, some screwball, that’s brains are sitting in the bottom of their feet somewhere, took it as pimping them out to men or something… If you knew Moolah, you’d know that’s just not true. The cyber bullying on social media that lead to pressure on Snickers & WWE to remove Moolah’s name from the Women’s Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34: “I don’t know who started this… I can’t believe that anybody is that jealous, or that stupid. I don’t know what they thought they were accomplishing. To take somebody that can’t speak for theirself, and them through the mud like they’re doing her. She’s not here to defend herself, which is not right. I just don’t understand what they think they’re accomplishing. Claims that Moolah was not inclusive, was a racist and a bigot: “I don’t think she was a bit racist… I have never heard Moolah say anything prejudice against anybody. What is Moolah’s legacy in pro wrestling: “I think that she was women’s wrestling. She’s the one that really got all the girls going… Leilani Kai, and Judy Martin. All the different tag teams that she had. Velvet and all them. Look at the exposure those girls got, because of her. They got a lot more exposure than us independent girls did… and I think she did a great job for women’s wrestling.

If its a random house show televised I hope a Legend wins it.

Like I said, it was never the plan. Maybe Jannetty would have won the title at Mania after failing at the Rumble, but since he got fired, Tatanka was just a replacement who wasn't supposed to win the title. You should listen to Bruce's podcast about Michaels in 92/93. I saw a podcast about 90s WWF ppv with Bruce but the interviewer was such a asshole kept butting in calling bullshit when something was explained. Bruce deserved more respect than that. I've listened to a few of Bruce's podcast, Conrad usually only calls bullshit when it's bullshit. If Bruce is spouting bullshit, why shouldn't he be called out on it? I dont think it was conrad the one I saw. But to have a guest and call him a idiot just seemed wrong.
