Same. I had some decent luck on ECW PPVs last night, but today is still very iffy on playing. A lot of videos play for about 10 seconds then buffer into oblivion. Skipping around helps a bit.

Speaking of Bash '89, before the two-ring battle royal, there was a text notice stating it would be "presented in the most complete form possible, due to original production technical difficulties." Looks like a few bad camera shots and one occasion of static filling the screen.
If I recall, one or two of the Nitros on Classics on Demand had similar issues.

I love that this is the only instance where they don't put the "NO LONGER AVAILABLE" graphic over the phone number. Because really, it doesn't work otherwise.
I love this Network so much, you guys.

Apple TV makes you pay the full $60 up front instead of 10 a month, apparently.
Only if you purchase the subscription through iTunes. You can still use your regular WWE.com account with the Apple TV WWE Network app, like I am right now.

One day in and we've already had two Buddy Rose appearances, including the full Blow Away Diet video. Even just the live stream is the best thing around.

Shillin' Steve Austin is one of the best things going today. That man can sell anything.

Anybody ever been?
I have. You didn't miss anything.

My favorite part of Fire Pro starting with Six Man Scramble was the triple team clubberin'.

As long as the poop contract can still be valid I'm on board so far
Two weeks later we get a filmed segment of somebody digging through a septic tank, till Colt emerges, with the contract in hand.
As he gets out of the septic tank, he is promptly run over by Ryback in an ATV.

Scotty Goldman showing up to wrestle Orton for the right to get CM Punk's job back and them re-doing the Rhodes Brothers angle from September-October with the Second City Saints you know would be fun.
Except in this version, Orton RKOs him after five minutes, then puts a CM Punk facemask on him and punts him into obscurity.
Also, Ryback eats Punk's contract.

Apparently Bryan Clark stole Kevin Nash's hair products on the way out of WCW, because that shit's glorious.

All those guys that did the 60-day-plus runs in the 80s say "Wimps, all of ya."
Well, all the ones whose hearts haven't exploded yet from coke and methamphetamine use, at least.
Then there's the downside.

Punk and Jarrett are totally going to start an MMA promotion together.
Somebody needs to fantasy book Punk becoming a student of Double J Double M A.

I thought I read in an interview with an ex-WWE wrestler (can't remember who) said that you could still be working for them for up to 3 months AFTER they initially notified you that you were being released. Which doesn't make any sense to me really, but I don't know.
That's why it's called "giving notice" or "being given notice", depending who initiates it. Either side has that window in the contract to tell you you're wrapping up. It's more of a territory holdover to allow them to wrap up angles and put people over on the way out.

Geez, I thought you guys were talking about Pete.

They were saying it'll be in 720p, so I wager a 3MB connection will be fine.

I loved the RVD bit after Born to Be Wired, as Sabu is getting patched up, and RVD points to a small cut on his nose. "I got cut too, see?"

A little off topic but this is as good of a place to ask it as any. Who here on this board is from the Pacific Northwest there seems to be a handful of people who are. I myself am from Tacoma Washington and attend school in the Portland area (actually went to the Smackdown taping tonight) and stay down here most the year. I just thought we are discussing a PNW wrestler and there was talk of his early years so I thought i'd ask the question.
Yo. Living in Washington, doing shows for ECCW in British Columbia and DOA down in Portland. (Incidentally, DOA has a show in Portland on December 29th. Come and say hi.)
I worked pretty closely with Davey and Tony Kozina back when they worked Pinnacle Wrestling in Washington in 2006-2007. They seem to be cut from the same cloth - Davey can be a prick but at least he's honest about being a prick, which is more than I can say for 90% of the guys out there.
What James said above is pretty accurate, though.

I have this poster. I stole it from Rose trainee J_Sin Sullivan, and I am NEVER giving it back.
By the way, if you're in Oregon, check out Burgerville, they're fantastic. If they're good enough for Buddy, they're damn sure good enough for you.

For some reason, the October '91 MSG show I tried to unsuccessfully watch yesterday is now no longer listed - you can still bring up 1991 in the Old School section on PC, but it brings up a "The data you requested is unavailable at this time" error.
However, I'm able to watch Havoc '89 in Chrome on PC with absolutely no issues so far. Every day it seems they clean things up more and more.
The live stream has continued to be picture perfect for me no matter what I watch it on - was watching Series '12 in full HD with no skip. It gives me a lot of hope for NXT Arrival tomorrow and for WM30.
