JerryvonKramer Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Posted June 30, 2015 I could not be more excited for this Houston stuff after listening to this. Good job Pete! Quote
peachchaos Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Great interview, Pete. I do have to say that my heart sank a bit when Bruce said the matches will be presented in 16:9 instead of the original 4:3. I'm not sure I understand the point of that, but I'm still excited I suppose. Quote
Ricky Jackson Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Big props to Pete for putting this together. 50 shows and the Fabulous Four are just getting started baby! Quote
peachchaos Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 "I do believe there is a Terry Funk-Nick Bockwinkle match on there" Quote
shoe Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Thanks everyone. Bruce is a tremendous interview. Quote
shoe Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 LOL. It was funny because he apologized to me right after the interview for calling me John. Quote
peachchaos Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 I figured he was getting you back for calling him Paul at one point. Quote
RocketCrypt Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Great interview, really enjoyed that. Pumped for the launch now. Quote
Matt D Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Can Johnny do a podcast with the History of WWE guy so he can call him Billystar SuperGraham the whole time and then not explain it. Quote
shoe Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 In actuality Johnny thought I said it 1st and was ribbing me because off air he was busting my balls. Quote
shoe Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Great interview, really enjoyed that. Pumped for the launch now. Thanks a lot. It really does seem to be a lot of stuff that isn't widely circulated. Yes their will be stuff that are in people's collections, but on the interview alone we discussed 4 matches that I believe aren't in circulation. I hope this is a success. After doing the interview with Bruce I'm really excited about the launch. Quote
Matt D Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 In actuality Johnny thought I said it 1st and was ribbing me because off air he was busting my balls. You did say it first. That's why it's funny. Quote
Grimmas Posted June 30, 2015 Report Posted June 30, 2015 Great job and I will be getting this service just to see Terry Funk-Wahoo. Quote
ZThomas Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Im thinking about canceling My WWE network for a month or 2 before the end of the year so I can just focus on alot of this Houston footage, Im not that familiar with anything pre-WCW much less anything pre JCP tbs NWA era so this would be really enlightening for me. It would be great if he made it so we can costomize playlists of matches kinda like you can on Youtube Quote
shoe Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Their will be matches never seen before. I hope this really works out. The WWE is more interested in producing 1st run content like Swerve so all the libraries they have just sits there. Here Bruce is at least attempting to put Old Scholl footage out there. Quote
DR Ackermann Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 It looks like its up and running already. Quote
DR Ackermann Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Yep. Just subscribed. The footage is pretty high quality. For some reason I can't get the Race/Andre match to play. Quote
DR Ackermann Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Well don't subscribe just to see Funk vs Wahoo because the match is only about 3 minutes long. After the match, Gino Hernandez jumps Wahoo and then those two wrestle a longer match. Very misleading and really disappointing. :-/ Quote
shoe Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Still as a segment I thought it was pretty great. Double juicer. A ton of these matches haven't seen the light of day. Quote
DR Ackermann Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 I was just really looking forward to it. Its not going to turn me off to the service. I'm amazed at the video quality so far. Quote
goc Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 I just signed up. I gave WWE my money for the Network launch hoping they would give me old footage and they have horribly disappointed me. I'd kill for them upload 50 matches from the 70s/80s out of their Vault every month but since they don't want to do that, I'll be happy to give someone else my money. Quote
shoe Posted July 4, 2015 Report Posted July 4, 2015 Ackerman click on Flair vs Wahoo let it start playing. Hit the discover tag it will give you about 5 matches including another Flair/Wahoo not listed but their is another thumbnail 4 Andre/Race click on it and it plays Quote
