WWE Network... It's Here

I believe in the stockholder's meeting they announced they will be adding all the Clashes soon. Can't wait. I think there's a 2-outta-3 falls match between Flair and Eaton in the early 90s that I remember absolutely loving as a kid that I can't wait to see again and also one show where Sting gets taken out early by Cactus Jack or Abdullah the Butcher, then wrestles Rick Rude later in the night, and, again, as a kid, I thought it was the best wrestling storyline ever done. Man, I miss being 8 years old, but god bless the time machine that is the Network.

As things stand, the Network is brilliant for when you don't really care what you watch, but if you're searching for something specific, it's a nightmare. Particularly, it's rubbish when the show hasn't been chaptered and you have to fast forward and guess where in the card a match is likely to be.

 

I don't like how the chaptering specifically spoils the ends of matches, too.

I don't think you are getting a second season.

 

Why not? If enough people are watching it (and I have no idea about any of the data), I could very well see it happening.

 

Tough Enough is coming back, so anything's possible.

 

I watched the Iron Sheik/Andre episode of Legends of Wrestling. I had actually seen it before, on DVD, and it's still probably the best episode they've ever done. For the most part, all they do is tell awesome road stories for an hour. I highly, highly recommend it. I wish every roundtable was as good as this one.

I had never seen that episode until recently and it's great. They don't shy away from telling road stories that nowadays you couldn't touch. No way you could get PS Hayes on any new shows laughing off his number of DUI's or telling drug use stories.

 

The beauty of Legends of Wrestling is that it was a show that flew completely under the McMahon radar and doesn't have the fingerprints of anybody in the family. On the other hand their two most recent roundtables are overproduced and overscripted sounding corporate products that are lack the casual conversation feeling of the old roundtables.

According to the WWE's top 10 they release during RAW it has been the number 1 most watched show every week, and Ep 1 was number three during its second week.

 

The Network is clearly aiming to attract a kind of superfan that is a different type of superfan to the one that posts here and "Original Content" seems to be a key component in their strategy. I have absolutely no idea why would anyone want to watch pre and post shows for freaking Raw when it feels like boot camp to get through it most weeks. Nevermind Smackdown (does anything relevant ever happen there?). But the shows seem to be popular.

The Warrior roundtable looked frankly uncomfortable. Literally uncomfortable as they looked all crammed in there.

 

I thought so as well. The chairs don't look comfortable either. Definitely not like in the days of Tazz reclining in his chair while smoking a big ass cigar.
