Being on a free service also gives it an advantage over AEW (HBO Max) and RAW (Netflix).

While this is kind of referring to another forum, I might as well ask since its an important part of IWC culture, is there a complete archive of the Death Valley Driver Video Review out there? The forum main page doesnt have nearly enough, and it was a good way to discover obscure stuff and even different takes on well known stuff.

Wow, now this is obscure:

Well. I guess we're finally getting the serious R-Truth, er, Ron Killings, we all wanted in the WWE.

It's been done, Brock had the Jimmy John's logo on his tights, and before that, Randy Savage had Slim Jim-themed tights.

I've said it elsewhere, but the amount of advertising around the arena and even on props like the MITB briefcase is getting to be way too exceessive. It's almost as if WWE has become the live-action equivalent of a merchandise-based cartoon, only much less subtle.

So getting back to SNME a bit, there's a debate going on if Jesse going after Damien Priest for simply exiting the cage through the door was essentially him crapping on the finish or just true to Jesse's character.

I've posted this elsewhere but this just came to my mind, for Cena's final match, no matter who he faces, the special referee should be Kurt Angle. He's still on good terms with the company and it would be a good way to go "full circle".

The Hulk Hogan/Giant Gonzales confrontation:

Possibly Mexico?

Sabu's 1993 dark match:

I was impressed by R-Truth's interview. After years of comedy, it's good to see that he can pull off serious promos too.

To be fair, it was all behind a paywall (there's also Benoit stuff on Netflix).

Another issue is that they're skipping over shows that had Chris Benoit. Now, I have no problem with them cutting out his matches, but why get rid of the whole show? Given the format of wrestling, it's not like it affects continuity if they removed his matches.

You'd think it would be chock full of matches involving Austin, Taker (as Mark Callous), Cactus Jac, Terra Ryzing/Jean Paul LeVeque (obviously), etc. Kind of a " before they were stars" thing.

I think I'm coming around more to Hank and Tank. Didnt really care for them when they first came up, but they've been getting more entertainng and are actually solid workers.

And it doesnt look like the women's division will be getting any bigger, Naomi has been talking in interviews about how she may be winding down her career soon.

Speaking of Hogan, he apparently is a Toni Storm fan: https://www.f4wonline.com/news/aew/hulk-hogan-praises-aew-timeless-toni-storm/

I think Orton along with CM Punk is the last of Cena's major rivals to still be active to be honest. A Cena/Orton/Punk 3 way wouldnt be bad actually (has that combo happened yet?).

What was with all of the lights in the audience during the Zayn/Breaker match?

And then WCW named him Vincent when he came to the company. Of course, this goes WAY back, according to Death of the Territories, JCP had a jobber named Vince McMann in the early 80s (footage of that is one of my lost media white whales).

Which makes it kind of funny considering when Rotundo returned to WCW it was as VK Wallstreet, an obviously blatant shot at Vince.

I noticed that when Backlund pinned Graham for the title, Graham put his foot on the ropes. Was that supposed to happen or was it just an accident?

As someone on another board pointed out, someone should have pulled a Norm MacDonald and deliberately sabotaged the roast.
