WWE posted the programming schedule for Wrestlemania Week on the Network:
http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/30/wrestlemania-week-on-wwe-network-schedule-26198459
Some highlights:
Live press conference airing tomorrow morning.
A live two-hour Wrestlemania Today show each night from Axxess on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
A brand new Legends of Wrestlemania Roundtable on Friday Night.
A live Red Carpet show before the live Hall of Fame Ceremony.
-
I'm guessing NXT gets the preshow match, since they pretty much have no one left on the main roster to fill it. Unless they bump one of the already announced matches to the preshow.
-
Nothing earthshattering came out of the ep but it was fun watching them snipe at each other.
A couple of other moments like that:
On the Canada one Bret is asked who in his opinion is the greatest Canadian wrestler and he says Archie Goulding. Pat Patterson just about loses his shit when he hears that.
DDP and JR go at it a lot in the celebrities one over the various celebrities WCW used, Arquette especially.
-
They added a particularly awesome episode of Legends of Wrestling on the 1970s with Nick Bockwinkel, JJ Dillon and Pat Patterson all trading stories. Too bad the fourth seat for that one was Hayes. The Patriotism one is pretty good too as it's just pretty much Sgt. Slaughter telling awesome stories the whole time.
-
They could make Brie one of the most over faces on the roster if they have her take Steph out at Wrestlemania.
-
They just added another MSG show from 1991, and the top and bottom ropes are reversed so the top rope is blue and the bottom rope is red, it's an odd thing to get used to.
The first match is Steamboat vs. Smash, and Steamboat makes a mistake. Not sure if he lost count or just wasn't thinking, but Smash had him in a chinlock and the ref went to raise his arm and on the third time Steamboat's arm drops, so the ref lifts his arm a fourth time and Steamboat keeps it up and powers out. Heenan had a field day yelling at the ref about not doing his job.

I got a chuckle out of Maria Menounos trying to protect kayfabe and Jericho was all "Say whatever you want."
-
Show her Savage/Warrior from WM7, explain to her the history between Macho and Liz and watch her bawl her eyes out at the reunion.

It's kind of interesting how little Gorilla and Jesse actually worked together. When you think of Hulkamania era WWF, you think of those two calling it, because they did the PPVs and all the big moments. However on TV it was always Vince/Jesse and Gorilla/Brain. When you actually count them up, Gorilla and Jesse did five Wrestlemanias (1, 3, 4, 5, 6), three Survivor Series (87, 88, 89) and one Royal Rumble (89). That's it, did those two really only do nine shows together?
-
Rockers/Express is awesome, as is the Bossman/Barbarian match that follows. Probably my favorite big man match, I love everything about it. After that, though, the card is pretty meh. The Rumble itself is just blah, pretty much nothing happens, they build up the ring to about 10 guys right away and it stays that way the whole time, no real story to it at all.
-
I'm watching Battlebowl 93 and Jesse tells Tony, "Things could be worse, you could be indicted or something." I googled the dates, and this show took place the day after Vince was indicted.
-
Alright I watched long enough to see the Steiner brothers vs. Harlem Heat and that was a really fun match. I think I'm going to take Raziel's suggestion and stop 98 and head to 91 and 92.
And of course on the ps3 version it stops at 93. Maybe they have it on the computer version...
91 and 92 are on WrestleWar those years. 93 is when they moved it to Fall Brawl.
-
War Games '98 is the worst of them, don't judge the gimmick on that, they bastardized the format to fit the multiple nWos, it's pretty awful.
-
Garvin/Valentine blowoff is at the Rumble with a Submission match.
Survivor Series is after Garvin was reinstated. Summerslam has Garvin as the ring announcer of the Valentine/Hercules match.
The announce job by Gorilla and Jesse at Survivor Series 89 is my favorite of all time. They are absolute gold for the Hulkamaniacs/Million $ Team and Warriors/Heenan Family matches.

Survivor Series 89 and all these random teams...
Can the WWE go back to a whole PPV of Elimination Tag matches?
One thing I hope an effect the network has is now that they don't really have to be worried as much about buyrates is allow them to experiment a little with PPVs. Do a Survivor Series with all Elimination Matches, do a Battlebowl, bring back KOTR, etc.

I couldn't get any VOD to play for more than 5 minutes on my PS3 the first two days. However, today has been flawless. Watched Starrcade 91 this morning and Tuesday in Texas right now, no buffering whatsoever, they play immediately, and I can fast forward and rewind with no issue or hiccup. Absolutely perfect. I'd say anyone still with issues to just have patience, I think they're working out the kinks.

For the people, like me, who are interested in what music is and isn't edited, they've gone back and restored a lot of their own WWF themes. "Do The Bird" is back for Koko, whereas it's almost always been dubbed over with "Piledriver" on 24/7 and DVDs. Oddly, "The Bird" by The Time that he used at WrestleMania III is back in, and it definitely wasn't a WWF song. "Country Boy" still seems to be gone, but "Jive Soul Bro" is back. Just a few that I noticed.

The intro music for WM I (the old CHV intro theme song) was changed for some reason, that's the only one I've noticed so far.
The intro music on the original broadcast was Easy Lover by Phil Collins. The CHV version was dubbed with their theme.
-
There's a lot more content there if you use the search function. Just typing in "Old School 1991" gets me four different MSG cards from that year.
A few more episodes of Legends of Wrestling there too.

It's live already. I'm signed in and can access everything. The live stream is test bars until 9 but the on-demand stuff is up and available.
-
I downloaded the app on my PS3, but if I open it I only get a login screen and a message to sign up on Monday.

An Arkham game set in the 1966 TV Show universe.

Really hoping this leads to a Shield vs. Wyatts Wargames Chamber match.

You're going to take the word of the same people who type out "Brett Hart," "Rick Flair," and Ravishing "Rick" Rude? The odds of your spelling being right and it being a fuck-up are a legit coin flip.
Very true. Still, I just checked the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office website on a lark, and someone at the WWF did apply for a service mark for "Gobblygooker" shortly after Survivor Series 1990 (and it was subsequently abandoned in 1992).
Just by typing in random old wrestling names on the USPTO site, it looks like WWE let their trademark on Starrcade lapse as well. I have no clue about the inner details of abandoned trademarks, but I'm now disappointed we haven't seen "TNA Starrcade" or "ROH World champion Gobblygooker."

In this video both the Fink and Mike McGuirk announce him as Gobblygooker.

Which is kind of funny, because in Jericho's second book he said Vince ripped him a new one after that Armageddon match, basically telling him he was the drizzling shits and that if he couldn't have a good match with X-Pac on the following Raw he was pretty much going to be out the door.
