sek69 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Kind of surprised it took this long for something like this, seems like a show parodying Southern rasslin' would be right up Vince's alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The idea of a rich guy buying the hillbilly's farm is legit good. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stro Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The joke is really worn thin by the end of the first ep. Stretching that shit out to 4 episodes is classic WWE run it into the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Gallows and Anderson looked really more comfortable there than with the material they've been given in Raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruiserBrody Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The NEWA beat them to the punch 30 years ago.... Some AWA cameos may surprise you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutenberger Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Ascension should be rebooked as The Surf Dudes with Atttudes. Can only get up from where they are now, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victory Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 The NEWA beat them to the punch 30 years ago.... Some AWA cameos may surprise you. These were way more hilarious. Some really clever stuff in there. The Larry Nelson and Rodger Kent cameos were cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Cena's Lance Russell impersonation was tremendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Cena has legit fantastic comedic chops. He should be a big star post wrestling. Southpaw was not as funny as I expected but it was still pretty great over all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 They have begun uploading older NXT shows from 2012 and 2013 (Full Sail stuff only so far, i.e. only the "new" format). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think in current WWE canon anything pre Full Sail was a different show than today's NXT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stro Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I think in current WWE canon anything pre Full Sail was a different show than today's NXT. Correct. I don't think anything game show era NXT counts except the first and second seasons, and only because of Nexus/New Nexus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Regardless, I am glad they are uploading them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 It is kind of awkward in hindsight for the catalogue that they have two shows called NXT that are completely different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migs Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 The game show ones are actually something that would probably be fun to binge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 It's funny that they consider them separate shows, but the numbering starts at 122 for the "current" NXT. That show is clearly being presented as the start of a new era so you'd think they'd reset the counter for that. Maybe they can start billing it the longest running weekly episodic streaming program in internet history or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiva Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Regardless, I am glad they are uploading them. They're flying through them too. I guess they spend the first part of the month getting the old uploads ready and then fire them out in the last week as they're preparing for what comes next.

sek69 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Jerry Lawler stated he completed getting control of the Memphis library from 77-88, and plans to sell it to WWE for them to put on the Network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Jerry Lawler stated he completed getting control of the Memphis library from 77-88, and plans to sell it to WWE for them to put on the Network.I don't buy it. Unless Jerry Jarrett was registering copyrights on the shows, which aired without copyright notices when that mattered, then the '77-'89 stuff is public domain.

sek69 Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Seems that it should either belong to him and/or Jarrett or WMC since it was their studio/staff filming it, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bix Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Seems that it should either belong to him and/or Jarrett or WMC since it was their studio/staff filming it, right? It's less that and more the copyright notice thing, which I had no idea was an issue until a few years ago. If nobody registered those shows, they're public domain. Which is probably why Highspots and whoever put that stuff on Amazon now have Memphis up without a care in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Something like that would be a pretty glaring oversight on pretty much everyone's part (insert joke about Jarrett being to cheap to pay to register the shows). Even AWA shows have copyright notices and Verne was behind the times on practically everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted March 24, 2017 Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Well if they are public domain there is nothing stopping WWE from putting them on the Network it just means Lawler isn't going to get any money from WWE unless they do it out of kindness.
