Beast Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 Lol, for sure. Absolutely. I'll be fine as long as they do at least 1 match every week, but you are definitely correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Schneider Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Not only is a fucking Kane match, this isn't even a new match, it's on youtube for fuck sakes and has been there for a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I personally don't see what everyone is bitching about. Will it be a great match? Well, no, but seeing Kane vs. a pre-Batista Leviathan in a monster mash-up sounds pretty intriguing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Because people expect each upload to be some previously unseen gem from the 70s or 80s, and anything else is a massive insult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky Jackson Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 It's going to be random. One week we'll get something awesome ala Piper vs Valentine, next week we'll get developmental, before they were stars stuff. Hopefully more of the former Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 On the one hand, we all know that. On the other hand, we didn't know that 100% until a few hours ago. There were still different possibilities. Really, it's last week that we should have been disappointed after that initial dump and the poor messaging. It just didn't set in until today.

Ricky Jackson Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Well, on the positive side, next week Pete and I are going to do a pod on Holy Grails, so maybe that will put a smile on people's faces in these tough times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Just so long as you're making Pete watch a Kane match that I don't have to see. We're going to watch some unearthed Brazos instead. To hell with the man and his vast, vast library of wrestling footage from 1983. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Haha...I've made Pete watch some garbage, but I can proudly say I've never made him watch Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Oh, Matt..calm the fuck down for Christ's sake. They re-introduced it with a big drop and now there just might be one a week. And guess what,Sunshine? There's a lot of wrestling they have that shockingly might be interesting to people beside us. Finding ways to bitch about this while it's happening makes me want to eat my own head. Love ya, buddy but for fucks sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'd like to ignore Johnny, including the easy line about how he can't eat his head because it's up his own ass, because that's just weird, and talk more about how Pete's going to have to watch this match: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Here you go, it's been on youtube since 2007 In what appears to be absolutely abysmal quality. The Network version has to look better than that...right? Anyway, I stand by what I said before - it surely won't be a "five-star classic," but it sounds like an intriguing match and I think people will gravitate toward it.

Seabs Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Remember not everyone easily finds these before they were stars matches like us lot have done in the past. To your average network viewer its a unique match to watch Batista before he was Batista. Theres more than one type of viewer and we dont represent the entire audience. Previously we were getting a drop of roughly 20 matches once a year, most of which were Leviathan/Kane type releases. Now were getting 52 releases a year. Even if we only get one hidden gem by our definition every six weeks were still getting more than we did beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, no, but seeing Kane vs. a pre-Batista Leviathan in a monster mash-up sounds pretty intriguing to me. I think people want a hidden gem to be something new never seen before like a OVW dark match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.S. Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Well, I took a gander at the Leviathan-Kane match on the Network. It's either the exact same video uploaded to YouTube or something only slightly better - the quality is still abysmal. How the hell does footage from 2001 look this bad?! I didn't bother watching the match because the video was so poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Watching OVW footage from that era leads me to believe the actual footage itself is poor quality. Maybe that's why they haven't put a ton up on the network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 Any chance they'll put up whole shows eventually? I'm trying to think of what could go there that wouldn't exactly fit anywhere else on the Network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
