"Taking up space" isn't really an issue. It seems silly to have something be a youtube exclusive when you're asking people to pay for The Network. It should be a one stop shop. Not to say they couldn't still have shows on youtube, but it should be on The Network as well.

I agree. They also should have been putting up all those HHH sitdowns with Cole that were on .com (may still be, haven't really been following), and every other new piece of video that they produce.

 

 

Okay, YA GOT YOUR WISH!

 

There is a bunch of YouTube content from November, the only regular show from the channel that is in the group I saw is Inbox, in the Originals programming under the "show" title As Seen On YouTube.

Gosh, if they're going to just blatantly steal my ideas they should at least hire me ;)

The 87 Slammys are worth it alone for the giant smile Rick Rude has on his face during his routine. The man never looked happier than that moment.

 

Also for Harley Race trying way too hard during a backstage comedy brawl with Duggan that was almost a prototype of the 24/7 rules hardcore matches that would come a decade later.

Every episode of Total Divas is now on Hulu Plus (which wasn't the case as of a few weeks ago), but the Network still only has Season 1. While I realize no one here cares about Total Divas, the fact that a "competing service" has WWE content that the WWE's own service does not is just flat out ridiculous. I understand why Raw and Smackdown are delayed on the Network (contracts, etc.), but that's crappy too because Hulu Plus gets them 24 hours later. As someone else here suggested, the Network really should be a "one stop shop" for WWE fans.

This is a very interesting piece of news about the WWE Network and WrestleMania in this week's Observer that isn't getting a lot of attention:
"Another point [with regards to this year's WrestleMania] is that even though the company claimed record viewership by adding up worldwide PPVs (690,000) and network subscribers (667,000) and getting 1,357,000, there were actually fewer people watching, even with the lower price, than two years earlier at full price. We don’t have figures but there were far less than 667,000 homes actually watching WrestleMania on the network and one person who did know said that there were more homes, and probably a lot more people, watching in 2012. First off, there were the network subscribers who attended live who would have been counted in 2014 figures whereas in other years they wouldn’t be counted (although in fairness, many of them attending live may have ordered the replay in 2012). You also have the network subscribers who still ordered on PPV, not trusting the technology or they didn’t have the technology to watch it on their TVs and had friends over, so those homes are also counted twice in 2014. Even if that wasn’t the case, when you decrease the price point that much, even if the number was the highest, it’s not a fair comparison."

I take back whatever bad things I said about the 1987 Slammy Awards. A friend told me that the Vince McMahon Stand Back clip was there so I watched that part then left it running while I was doing some work from home. I had never seen it complete (only brief mentions during wrestlecrap segments or somebody bringing it up on Monday Night Raw to laugh at Vince) and, well, it was something else.

 

Everybody singing together "If you only knew" at the end of the video probably was the biggest break of kayfabe in the history of wrestling until that point. Boris Zhukov singing and clapping??? Most of them looked like they'd rather be anywhere but there but others like Bret or Jake looked like they were having a blast in this campy situation.

By the way, any "unreleased" shows such as Tuesday Night Titans that you can only watch on your computer will work on your other devices if you add the shows or series to your watchlists. I put TNT on my Apple TV and I just saw the Iron Sheik rambling.

 

I had never seen anything complete episodes from this show (except for clips) ... well it's interesting to say the least.
