WWE Network... It's Here

[C.S.]

Any idea when the most recent season of Total Divas goes up on the Network? It just ended last week on E!

 

Not sure, but if you have Hulu, you can see the entire run there.

The 1987 and 1994 Slammy awards have been removed for unknown reasons.

[MikeCampbell]

With the network presently on a big Smackdown! dump, two episodes seem to be noticeably absent. SD #25, featuring the in-ring debuts of the Radicalz, and also the 5/24/01 featuring TCL III. I assume the main reason for their exclusion is Benoit being featured so prominently.

 

Edit: And what do you know? 5/24/01 is uploaded now!

Ric Flair, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard shot an episode of Table For 3

I saw this... Unsure on whether or not I want to listen to Flair ramble though. Have you watched it?

They don't have a problem with Benoit stuff, if I'm remembering right Eddie badly dislocated his elbow doing a frog splash on that show.

Not yet, for mostly the same reason.

[Beast]

Not much to it.

All I wanted was to see the Austin/Benoit Smackdown match in perfect quality so of course the upload every episode from 2001 except that.

[Exposer]

Not sure if it's true, but read a report on Twitter that WWE Network is only allowing one stream on one device per account at a time. Therefore, friends & family can no longer share accounts & stream at the same time.

[Ricky Jackson]

I believe Meltzer has reported that

[Matt D]

My gut says that this will have a way bigger positive impact on the numbers than anything else they've done so far.

I think Flair talked the least in the Table for 3 episode. Anderson was the bitter old man, Tully came off the best imo.

What the hell does Arn have to be bitter about? I love Double A, but come on, he massively overachieved in his career.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Arn didn't come off as bitter at all.

It's up now! 5/31/01.

Arn doesn't come off bitter as well but he definitely has the Al Snow "these kids today don't understand how good they got it" mentality. But the reality is that they do. Not sure if half of the current roster could handle the insane schedule the Crocketts had from 85-88.

 

The best part was Arn saying "I spilled 20 buckets of blood that War Games tour. Not 19. Not 21. 20 buckets".

You should watch some shoot clips of Al Snow on YouTube, if you haven't already. Completely changed my opinion of him. What a bitter, disgruntled, unhappy little man - and he throws around the "r" word like it's going out of style. Not a good look in today's climate.

[Indikator]

The scheduling stuff is too much apples and oranges for me. You never know how many media appointments and appearances outside of the wrestling arena people have nowadays. And it's really stupid to say that it was in any conceivable way ("more respectable" etc) better to have been constantly under the influence of something to adapt to a ridiculous schedule and drop dead at 45 as it has happened way too often. I read about most World Champions growing tired of their schedule, and once you hear such stories about Joe Stecher you just have to wonder how ingenius the Europeans were back then with their troupe tournaments in the same damn spot for 2-10 weeks.

[sek69]

Yeah it's funny for Arn to pull the "kids today are soft" card considering the other two guys at the table with him are a lifelong functioning alcoholic and the other was a cokehead until he found Jesus. I know it's a chicken and egg argument if the schedule caused the lifestyle, but how else were guys in the 80s supposed to handle the wear and tear?

[Johnny Sorrow]

Camp WWE was fucking funny.

[Gutenberger]

I dindn't really think highly of the Table, although once I saw it was up I was definetely very eager to seeing it.

Flair has, in my eyes, nothing much interesting to tell anymore, or if he has, he just doesn't tell it.

Arn came across very pessimistic, as if none of todays roster has any real experience or enough knowledge to pass down to future guys... Kind of, imo, running them down a bit. Although many of them, especially the Indie Guys, have lots of experience and know a tough schedule, I'd imagine.

Tully was unremarkable, just a quiet old dude enjoying his meal.

The great WWE Network Updates twitter bot (https://twitter.com/WWE_Network_Bot) is showing something called the "WarGames Collection", which from the updates looks like a group of the collected WarGames matches, plus a couple of extra segments with Dusty. Plus there's this:

 

 

ADDED: New Classic Content - Classic Content Intro May 2016 (05/02/2016) http://network.wwe.com/video/v636300683 … #WWE #WWENetwork

 

So maybe we're getting another dump of old stuff?

[sek69]

Classic content in that case only meant the early Smackdowns they uploaded.

[Scarlet-Left]

They continue to upload episodes of NXT without time-stamps... it's really annoying.
