WWE Network... It's Here

Didn't he make a few appearances in WCW in 98 or 99? I don't think he got in the ring but I have a memory of seeing him on Thunder once, being interviewed from one of the front rows.

 

No, he didn't talk I don't think, he couldn't. It was a "Hey, look who's here !" moment. Sable did it too when Russo was in charge (or maybe they were together, but I doubt it), but they could not use her anyway. DUMBFUCKERY.

 

Mero had a confrontation with Tank Abbott in 2000 when he was seated in the front row.

In other news, the latest content drop is 2008 Raws, so this might be filling in the remaining gaps.

 

I had been watching some of the Punk stuff from 2008 recently. It really re-enforces how much the look of the top of the card has changed over the last 10 years. Punk looked small against basically everyone he faced; now Balor, Rollins, etc. can stand up to everybody.

New Ride Along pretty much stinks. A lot of fake drama between JBL, Cole, and Byron and The Flairs just being regular and dull. A couple of good stories but overall it's not good.

On the flip side, the new Table For Three with Show, Kane, and Mark Henry was fucking great and I want to see everything filmed for it besides what was edited into the tight 20 minutes. They mentioned an incident where a young Mark Henry was gonna beat up Shawn Micheals and the whole Kliq that was cooled off. Anyone know the whole story? That sounds fascinating. Also, Show and Mark are putting over Kane as being the smartest guy in wrestling, like..actual intelligence, not just the business. And Kane says, "Yeah, but look at the competition." 😆

Saturday Night I think would be the most likely since they already uploaded all those World Championship Wrestling shows. It'll be interesting to see where they go once they finish the Raw and SmackDown archives, back to Prime Time I'd guess?

 

They're a long way from finishing Smackdown, though.

I watched the new episodes of Ride Along and Table For 3 the other night.

 

Ride Along: This is even more obviously fake than it was before. Charlotte acted like a spoiled brat and gave Ric the silent treatment for 25 minutes (I believe this was filmed right before she turned on him) while JBL and Cole were completely cruel cunts to Byron, who is always smiling, happy, positive, and ready to his job. While I realize there's no way some of what happened could be real, their animosity toward him didn't seem entirely faked to me. JBL and Cole came across as bullies. #BeAStar!

 

Table For 3: Nothing special, but some fun road stories. Poor Mark Henry comes across as really dimwitted.

I wonder if it's just a coincidence that the one Raw from 1/09 that they didn't upload was the one from Chicago with the Regal/Punk IC Title change?

 

They tend to jump around with the uploads but I believe they've uploaded Punk's MITB win from 08 and that episode pretty much revolved around him.

I'm actually still waiting for something they promised from day one, all of the home videos.

 

I don't think we'll ever actually get all of them, because there's at least one tape with Japanese matches on it. I suppose they could always license it, but I figure they'd just skip that one.

WTF?

 

tonight WOR Meltzer reported WWE is highly considering a multiple tiered network subscription. Free, 4.99, 9.99, and 14.99.

The 14.99 would allow subscribers to vote for the HOF every year, and WWE is working on deals with ROH and TNA to stream their content on the network.

Those are reasonable options. Make the free version just a stream of the live network, 4.99 for limited access to the On-Demand content, 9.99 for everything, and 14.99 for the HOF vote. Though I would never take the HOF option, it would be a wasted vote and a waste of money.

The 5 dollars extra would be more for TNA/ROH, probably EVOLVE and PROGRESS streams and the HOF vote just an added bonus.
