Johnny Sorrow Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I know that. I'm not crying cause it's a tragedy, I'm crying because I'm a human being. Oh, and I'm crying for humanity cause I know it's inevitable that some zero somewhere is gonna say "Stephanie and HHH were pretending to be crying." 😴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I think calling it "lazy" when they had four days to get it done after hearing the news of their colleague dying late into a week with a PPV plus Tough Enough work to worry about on top of the usual multiple hours of live TV is more bothersome.

C.S. Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 The first half of the special was almost all documentary stuff which really bothered me because it seemed so lazy. the second half of the special from the Ric Flair interview on was great though as we saw the interviews from NXT and WWE stars  What a ridiculous criticism. "Too lazy"?! Dusty died less than a week ago. They didn't exactly have a lot of time to put something together, and what we got was top notch from a production quality standpoint.  I will agree that I didn't particularly love seeing so much recycled footage either, but I understand it considering the circumstances. The new footage was all tremendous.  One question about the Stephanie/Dusty in-ring promo: At the time, I heard murmurs that Stephanie (or was it Vince?) was unhappy with it because Dusty ad-libbed. Was that internet bullshit? On this special, Steph seemingly confirmed the ad-libbing but then went out of her way to say she loved it when Dusty walked away from her, forced her to grab his mic, smirked at her when she did, and what an honor it was to have such a moment with a legend, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm watching the Unfiltered with Renee Young show and she's talking to Darren Young who's talking about coming out. Great stuff, and the CM Punk story is great. Basically, right after he came out he was backstage at catering in front of everyone,Punk came up to him, told him to stand up, Punk hugged him and told him he was proud of him for being so brave, and told him that if anyone gives him any shit , he'll take care of it. Thats cool as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great how he told the story, implying that the current roster is afraid of upsetting her and here comes Dusty giving zero fucks.

Karl Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Are there any 'classic' or just really good matches on Prime Time/TnT on the network? Watching those shows is a bit of a chore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 There's plenty of really good matches on Prime Time if you dig through. Generally speaking, you just want to focus on the obvious names. One that sticks out specifically is Savage/Adonis v. Sammartino/Santana in a cage in the summer of '86, which has crazy heat. But I mean, if you see Bret Hart and Ricky Steamboat... go for it. Skip the 15 minute Pedro Morales matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTLL Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 The FF button is your friend with PTW, and it has pretty comprehensive listings available too. If something seems like crap, it probably is, and you don't have to slog through to guarantee it. Â With that being said, and mindful of the "name vs. name" principle outlined above, in the latest batch there's a decent Tito/Jake match and a very good Valentine/Slater match.

Sidebottom Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Whole bunch of new Rock n Wrestling episodes are up. Puts my fears to rest that they were just going to upload one and leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantastic Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I want a network special PPV, my dream would be "Night of the Legends". Basically you get a load of the old guys (internal legends and guys not contracted to WWE) who can still go to some degree and match them against NXT guys and guys on the main roster who aren't doing anything.  Hell, you could have a reality series building up to it, looking at how they are training for the match, etc.  Card Example  Harlem Heat vs. The New Day (Kofi and Big E)  Trish Stratus vs. Sasha Banks  Rick Steiner or Scott Steiner vs. Jack Swagger  Tito Santana vs. Sami Zayn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-P Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Since we're into that "Divas Revolution" stuff, I tried to watch the MNW episode of "Divas Gone Wild". Three minutes in, we're basically told that Vince McMahon invented the valets with Miss Elisabeth. Okay. I can't fathom how anyone can handle all that revisionnist history in WWE programs. (EDIT : man, that TV show is completely ridiculous) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I guess World Class inventing the valet with Precious and Sunshine and having better television production until NBC modernized their look isn't as sexy a story, even if it is true.

The Man in Blak Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 The Kliq hagiography is...well, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise if you watched the Monday Night War series. But it is something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I guess "The Kliq is the greatest group ever in wrestling" is the new "Vince beat the mean evil Ted Turner" when it comes to stuff that really isn't true but everyone keeps repeating to make the boss happy.

El-P Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well, if you look at their track record : Â _Shawn Michaels : DX leader (contributed to get WWF hot again along Austin) and "Mr. WrestleMania" (ok, that's made up). _Hall & Nash : 2/3rd of the nWo, the biggest box-office act of the 90's before Austin and the one who ignited the golden years of the MNW. _Waltman was along for the nWo & DX rides when they were at their respective hottest. _Triple H : married the boss daughter and is the futur CEO of the WWE. _Justin Credible : greatest ECW champ ever. Â Really, that's one hell of a track record, politically speaking. Â I won't watch the Kilq stuff though. I'm already nauseous just thinking about it.

C.S. Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Credible was never a full-fledged Kliq member, but I assume that was part of the joke El-P was making. Â Speaking of the Kliq, did anyone watch their 20-minute reunion on the Network? I found it horrible and shut it off after a few minutes. It meandered aimlessly, the audio was atrocious, and the productions values were (purposely) bad. What a waste of fucking time. Maybe it get better, but I didn't stick around long enough to find out.
