sek69 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I'm curious as to whether there is maybe another collection Corgan could purchase to start his own library. I'm not sure there's anything out there that could be used to start a library. Memphis rights are a mess (and even if they weren't WWE would get first dibs via Lawler), the only Portland stuff I've seen was from the stash Buddy kept in his garage and not the greatest VQ. Those are the only two I can think of that would be worth purchasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 WWE does not own the St. Louis library then you have stuff like the Savoldi collection that has a lot of different stuff in it and the PM Films collection owned by the Martinez family that has stuff like Southwest and a lot of other odds and ends in it. Bruce Tharpe did say that he'd had other people reach out to him when he started the site & try to sell him their tape libraries but that he didn't have the time or resources to handle anymore than what he was already doing with Houston.

The Thread Killer Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hope there's more Spectrum to come. Jesus, 1983 WWF really is a new low. Backlund vs. Iron Mike Sharpe as the Main Event? You take that back. That's Canada's Greatest Athlete you're talking about there, pal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I'm glad to finally see more WCCW footage. But can they get some of the gaps closed please. They have the oddest missing episodes mixed throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Anyone else having problems with the 1980 MSG show? It keeps randomly shutting off and sending me back to the previous menu on my PS4. It's the only thing I've really had an issue with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimmas Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Can anyone watch the April 1990 SNME the one with Harts vs Rockers? Every time I try it skips to the next show automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 According to the Edge and Christian podcast we wont be getting a second season of the E&C show. WWE isnt willing to pay the money needed to produce it, and E&C's schedules are too hectic, so no season 2 probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Jackson Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 I have no opinion of the E and C show because I only caught a tiny bit of it, but I have to say I'm totally fine with Network belt-tightening in regards to original content as long as it means more uploads of cost-free old school footage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you make a comeback when you were FORCED to retire in the first place? Unless he's gonna wrestle somewhere else and I don't get the sense he would want to go slum it in GFW or ROH, especially considering how unhappy he looked when he got inducted into TNA's Hall of Fame.

Sure it may get more views than say a MSG show from 73. It still isn't driving subscriptions. It's the ppv's, and how hot the current product is will drive subscriptions. It's not Swerved or even something as cool as the JBL show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thread Killer Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Reddit: Vince obviously hates Edge and Christian's show because he can't control what they say!!!! I know you're joking, but in reality Edge and Christian are pretty far off the WWE reservation at this point. On their podcast they make no bones about criticizing WWE if they feel it's warranted - they took great delight in mocking the Great Balls of Fire name, for example. They still have a lot of friends in WWE and are complimentary on occasion, but they don't usually just blindly praise the organization, or avoid criticizing it like some others do. The weird thing is, I remember Edge giving a couple of interviews here in Toronto after the first season of their TV show wrapped. He talked about how much insider stuff they got away with joking about, and he said that he is pretty sure Vince never actually watched an entire episode of the show. He also mentioned that it was incredibly time consuming to write and act in, and he honestly didn't think there would be a second season, and at that time he himself was ambivalent about the idea. Then a few months later, I saw/heard him talking about how they had assembled a writing team and were working on ideas for the second season. He has even joked with guests on the Podcast about being on the second season, and gave the impression at times that it was definitely a go. So if it is really cancelled, I would assume that it is for the same reason as Legends with JBL and Talking Smack, that the network is getting away from original programming. Which I hope means that there will be no second season of Holy Foley. Because if that show gets another season after Legends, Talking Smack and Unfiltered got cancelled - I shall be pissed. UPDATED: Some sites are even reporting that half of the second season has already been filmed?! As far as Christian goes, I am pretty sure he was in the same boat as Daniel Bryan. He was under contract and had several concussions, and the WWE basically told him that they were not going to allow him to wrestle, but he was still under contract until some time last year, I think. I don't know if Edge and Christian are under those so-called "Legends" deals, but as far as I know both of them are not under contract and are free to do what they want. Edge can't and won't wrestle again, nor does he apparently want to. Christian is a different story, I think he still wouldn't mind wrestling now and then. He's only 43 which isn't really all that old in wrestling years, depending. A Christian comeback could happen, just not in WWE. Hell, he and Jarrett are friends, I guess it is conceivable that he could end up in Global Force, although it's unlikely. It's possible the only thing that kept Christian from wrestling elsewhere was his off and on relationship with WWE. If the show really is cancelled, we may yet see him wrestle.

Unless he's gonna wrestle somewhere else and I don't get the sense he would want to go slum it in GFW or ROH, especially considering how unhappy he looked when he got inducted into TNA's Hall of Fame. I thought he was pissed because WWE forced him to go there, in exchange for TNA allowing Ric Flair to go to the WWE Hall of Fame and be inducted as part of the Four Horsemen? Basically, I thought Dixie Carter made the deal with WWE that if they wanted Flair, they had to give her Christian - despite the fact Christian apparently had no interest in being there. (Even more humorous was when Flair came out and said he didn't give a shit what Dixie Carter allowed or didn't allow - the Horsemen weren't getting inducted without him being there, and if she sued him for going, then she sued. We all know Naitch isn't afraid of a lawsuit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I didn't mind Holy Foley, even though it was obviously faker and more scripted than most reality shows, which is really saying something. But yeah, I'd be pissed if that came back after Legends With JBL, Stone Cold Podcast, etc. were cancelled. It's not coming back though. Mick already said it was an expensive show to make, and even though he felt they used their budget well, he didn't see a second season happening. At least WWE also got rid of that planned R-Truth gameshow. Hopefully they realize crap like that is not what anyone wants out of the WWE Network.

iamthedoctor Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Some of the Network edits are just odd and I don't know if its changed recently but why did they replace Voodoo Child with some crappy theme? Real American would obviously be better suited for Hogan's 2002 run when he was in Red & Yellow. Even on the Hogan DVD that Backlash match they put Real American on it.
