flyonthewall2983 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 And we're pretty much stuck with those bars, because you can't upgrade VHS like you can film. Unless they decide to crop them, in which case it would all look pretty terrible (they do a bit of this already on their shows like Countdown).

sek69 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Holy shit, that WWE 24 episode with the WM 30 behind the scenes stuff is amazing. Ironically you come out of it wanting Daniel Bryan to be champion forever and he comes off as the nicest guy ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah I finally sucumbed to the Network and ordered just so I can watch the Rumble. I enjoyed it anyway shame the internet kids didnt but hey they expect too much. Â Regarding cropping they did this for years on their official DVDs before they finally changed it. Never had a issue with the stretched pic on the dvds before this.

flyonthewall2983 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I know they've done cropping on stuff before, but that's more like for clips for documentaries (it's all over the Flair one for example). They've never done that for full shows, which is more important imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Anyone watch the WWE 24 behind-the-scenes special about WM XXX? Â While it did take us backstage during the event, it didn't really reveal nearly as much as I thought it would. I guess I expected too much. It felt like mostly fluff. Â The Connor Michalek stuff still gets to me. So sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadMick Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah, and a lot of it had already been used on the Bryan and Warrior docs last year. Â What's next week's episode about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you must slander people for having a different opinion from you, then at least use better slander. Â And I do not think expecting any of the over faces to look strong is "expecting too much", but I won't begin to debate with you on it, because your post is so ridiculous it does not merit debate.

Original content has always been presented in 4:3, sometimes with bars added at the side if there's a mix of footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiva Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 In the fervor about subscribers, they've completed 99 for Smackdown, added a big dump of TNT and a couple more 96 Raws. If they could consistently provide updates like this more often and begin adding some more mid-80s stuff, I'd be happy with the current binge-watching potential.

Â Nothing personal against you, doc, but I honestly despise bullshit sentiments like this whenever I see them on message boards. The whole, "oh, I'm above all of this, and why are you getting worked up when there are more important things to worry about?" attitude just smacks of false piety to me. Of course, world affairs, personal problems, etc. are "more important" - but we're on a wrestling forum, so it's perfectly fine to get angry about wrestling here.

Glad they finally finished 99 Smackdown actually. Was planning on going back and watching in as I couldn't get it where I live since the station that carried it wasn't available in my area.

sek69 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Yes, I've been watching all the 95 and 96 Raws and it's amazing how much of it seems new to me since I spent so much time channel flipping in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamthedoctor Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 What has happened to the backstage pass stuff? Â On the UK version Raw hasent had one since the Sheamus/Rusev title change and Smackdown is May 2nd. Â Seems quite odd whiy its nearly a year gap for Smackdown as I presumed they were still doing this unless the UK version is different to the US version. Â Always loved these as they are in a way like sat feeds. Anyone know whats going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
