Blehschmidt Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sure seems like Austin just tried to go to bat for Cesaro and Vince shot it down in the nicest way he possibly could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Slice Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Okay, Vince basically waving the magic wand and saying this is gonna go on for 15 more minutes is the TV moment of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveJRogers Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 It looks like the raw replays jumped ahead a coupe of weeks. I'm sure there wasn't a raw on 12/25/95, but wasn't the "Raw Bowl" on New Years day? It looks like the raw replays jumped ahead a coupe of weeks.

SteveJRogers Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I am highly amused at the LEVESQUE NEWLYWED GAME filling time right now on the Network. Since it was a Beyond The Ring extra, I'm guess its a bonus feature on the Triple H doc, or something that got cut from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJRogers Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 "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.

pantherwagner Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I don't know if this is a troll job or not but it's half odd half hilarious that the first piece of pre 1990 footage uploaded in months is the Slammy Awards from 1987. I had never seen this before so I caught a few minutes and it's beyond tacky and embarrassing even by 80s WWF standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 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.

C.S. Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 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."

pantherwagner Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 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.

iamthedoctor Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 If you only knew has always been one of my favourite music videos I remember when I finally saw the pile driver video about a decade and a half ago was watching it on a daily basis. Best part is that Hogan/Dibiase smackdown talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I always got a kick out of the fact that they were very obviously lip syncing to If You Only Knew, but The Rougeau Brothers werent at the Slammys so they had to cut to a generic wide shot during the one line a Rougeau Brother has.

pantherwagner Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 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.
