C.S. Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Not what I was asking though... Is there a way to see the new additions listed together on the WWE Network service itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy hats Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Not ideal, but if you visit the day of uploads entry on reddits bot, youll at least see the year and title of the new stuff - https://reddit.app.link/iorsiln8kN Ugh, try this link - https://www.reddit.com/r/wwe_network/comments/8ls2fx/wwe_network_updates_05242018/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickH Posted May 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Brisco/Flair, that's awesome. hope it's a long match. This might be Jack's last NWA Title shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickH Posted May 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 It will be interesting to see how much we get this week. If it's one match, that will really hurt the concept for a lot of people. Guess we will soon find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migs Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 The language clearly indicates more than one match. But even if it's two or three, it's interesting weekly content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we will soon find out. Yes, but if it's just one match, at least it's that match? I'll take Brisco/Flair any day of the week. I've read it goes about 30min and even though Jack is past his prime it still should be a very good match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Worth noting that the WCW March 1984 shows setting this up are on youtube thanks to Kris. You can see the Brisco tournament matches vs Sweet Brown Sugar and Brad Armstrong, plus Horner getting a surprise roll-up on Hawk and the Horner/Armstrong tournament match where the Roadies take out Armstrong by accident and the subsequent promo where Brisco wouldn't give Armstrong a week to recover. Plus another Brisco and Flair promo setting up the match. Always better to watch stuff in context when we have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 The people who usually know these things (or figure them out) are saying we just get the one match today. I've only dipped my toe in but it's JIP (only slightly? 2-5 mins, I'd say), a little over 20 mins, with 3 minutes of Ole screwing around beforehand which are absolutely gold.

Victator Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Brisco looks like he could have wrestled another six years and been very good. Loved the build up to this, with Brisco not being a heel, but being vicious in his treatment of Armstrong. You can see why he was such a great touring champion. Jake Roberts booked all this and is a testament to his mind. Every tourney match had a purpose, whether it built the tournament or to the rest of the show.

Cornette's racket Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 Haha just watching the brisco vs flair match and at they start with ole Anderson talking to the fans and he's actually coming across like a nice guy. He's not the cranky bastard we know now. He also can't remember the Baltimore promotors name and has to do a retake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintthecrippler Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 If it stays at one Hidden Gem release per week, the uploads like Flair vs Brisco are going to be treasured but I really hope we dont get too many weeks where the one upload is "4 minute Velocity job match with guy that's a star now."

flyonthewall2983 Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 At least there's going to be consistency, as opposed to just throwing them on once they're ready which as been their MO with putting a lot of the old stuff on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickH Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 From David Bixenspan's twitter. According to a WWE spokesman, Hidden Gems on WWE Network will be one match most weeks. That can change, like last week being more to reintroduce the concept, but for now, we should expect a match a week. I get they don't want to upload too much, just wanted a little more. Not the way I would have done it but hey it's better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the cranky bastard we know now. He also can't remember the Baltimore promotors name and has to do a retake. Ole was a host on the Georgia show and has a charm to him. As a face he has a lot of credibility because he never seems like he is bullshitting you. It also makes his heel turns hurt more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 It's really weird to see because I thought he hated all people and life itself. I guess that came later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Nice to see a pre Yoko match from tv tapings and cool that Simmons/Vader in full exists with commentary. Was it supposed to air in full? Probably unlikely the Steiners/Anderson & Eaton Cage Match was filmed. That Steiners one would definitely be awesome to see. I'm a sucker for anything in Chicago. I missed that one and still regret it. I can't remember if it was wcw magazine or pwi that had pics of the cage match but the arena was well lit so guessing it could have been filmed.

Beast Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Come on, have to remember when they were doing dumps of 20 it would be a mix of actual "hidden" gems and before they were stars TV matches. We get someone new each week, some of them will be not as exciting. For context, the new gem this week is Leviathan (Batista) vs. Kane from OVW Christmas Chaos 2001.

Matt D Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Week 1: They raised expectations wildly. Week 2: They lowered them considerably. Week 3: They demolished them. I get that we should never, ever have any expectations for this company but it was nice to have something else to look forward to every week.
