SteveJRogers Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Why do they have the section of stuff from YouTube? If you've got access to WWE Network, you've inherently got access to stuff from YouTube where it's available for free, and every view earns money for WWE. Probably to gauge interest in moving their ongoing YouTube series, like JBL & Cole, Cole's weekly kayfabed interviews, Top Ten, and Inbox onto the Network. I've seen suggestions that they should move that content over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJRogers Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Because the Super Bowl isn't held the day after. Speaking of which, watching 2006 right now from Chicago and Cena's induction of The Fridge...MY GOD! I want to retroactively go and explain to those fans that if everyone on the stage is breaking kayfabe all over the place, YOU CAN TO!

SteveJRogers Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I am more upset that they promised every Hall of Fame show and yet no 1994, 1995, and 1996 full show which has never been seen in full. They just put up all the HoF shows from 2004 to 2013. Full? With the Sherri speech? In all its rambling glory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 The most awkward thing I saw from '94 aside James Dudley was seeing Arnold Skaaland talk about Shane like it was already pre-determined and decided that he would take over.

artDDP Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I just looked at the tickets for this year's HOF since it's about 90 minutes away from me. The only seats available are nosebleeds for $90 and the floor seats are as high as $485(!) Is this because of Arnold or are the tickets usually this pricey? I decided against buying a ticket since I'm not paying $90 for this lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilTLL Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Full? With the Sherri speech? In all its rambling glory! Still a riotous, fascinating, weirdly touching classic. And to top it off, she punctuates it with variations on "You paid your money, you got your ticket, now shut up and listen to what we have to say!" They should play that clip between every inductee at every ceremony. On a somewhat related note, it's odd but not surprising that quite a few of the male workers in these fairly-recent HOF crowds are still around, but literally none of the women.

flyonthewall2983 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I just realized I haven't watched a whole lot of these. Booker T's speech and induction from Stevie Ray (feel stupid for saying this here, but I never would have guessed they were actual brothers) was cool to watch in the context of just having seen that 24/7 special. I'm on 2012 now, and JBL's induction of Ron Simmons was actually thrilling to watch. I wish I could say the same thing of his broadcasting.

Johnny Sorrow Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I just upgraded to iPhone 6 and the network won't play anything on it. Anyone else have this going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Here's an odd one for you, I tried watching it on my Sony BDP-S5100, and next thing I knew all the video apps gone. Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, everything, gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I know on my Roku streaming stick I wasn't getting any new content until I checked for an update to the system software, I guess it was blocking the app from updating until that was done.

sek69 Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just noticed they skipped Raw #178 (9/30/96) on the recent batch of uploads. Looking at the results there doesn't seem to be any content related reasons why they would bypass it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 There rarely seems to be any rhyme or reason to them skipping episodes in their weekly TV section. Do they not know how much that pisses off the completist portion of their audience? Especially when we know they HAVE the footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Seems like the Network is amazingly poorly put together. Uploading RAW episodes *in order* doesn't seem like a huge task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I legit thought that Stevie Ray and Booker T were not brothers either until I saw the 24 show on Booker T. I almost wished they put out a DVD set of him. Doesn't have to be the monster 3 DVD set but filling up 2 DVDs of his Global, WCW and WWE stuff wouldn't be hard task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Is Wrestlemania 1 & 2 edited? Reason I ask is the run time for Wrestlemania 1 is stated as 136 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Is Wrestlemania 1 & 2 edited? Reason I ask is the run time for Wrestlemania 1 is stated as 136 mins. Watch it and find out?

PeteF3 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 136 minutes may well be right. 1 is not a long show at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artDDP Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Every version I've seen has been around that time. I think all the matches are full but the stuff between has been clipped. That or the WWF wasn't thinking about three-hour broadcast cards back then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 It makes sense that they would have had shorter cards in the closed circuit days before PPV since, if I'm not mistaken, a lot of closed circuit locations were theaters and people don't really expect to sit in the theater for more than 2 hours.

They haven't seen a modern movie then, since almost nothing is under 2 hours nowadays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
