Craig H Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's shit. It's as big of a pile of shit as Pantera's Walk. Fucking dumb 90s music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kropotkin's Beard Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 There's nothing wrong with dumb music per se. Some of the time. I'm partial to Pantera's Walk. It can't all be guys doing weird time signature, sometimes you just need skinheads shouting at you to respect and walk. Or as I used to think the chorus went, "breathe, spit, walk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's shit. It's as big of a pile of shit as Pantera's Walk. Fucking dumb 90s music. The 70s and the 90s may have the highest highs and the lowest lows in the history of music. I think 90s wrestling kind of mirrors the music of the decade. Just in WWE you have the Austin/Rock/Hart/Michaels/Foley group and then you have Mabel/Warrior/Russo/etc. I don't know if there is some sort of sociological law that says the only way to have greatness is if there is an equal amount of shit to go along with it.

Petey Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 1995/1996 ECW aged really well. Not all the matches themselves, obviously. But the angles and interviews and all that aged fine. Even a lot of 1997 aged well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 This may have been answered before and if so, I'm gonna cry myself to sleep tonight. When they say "every PPV" does this mean that it has to be shows that were actually broadcast as PPV or are the older closed circuit shows (early Starrcades among others) also available day 1?

piranesi Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 It might depend on how they run RAW/Nitro and all that. When they start and if they go in order. It might be nice to put things off until they slot into the "Monday Night War" show or whatever it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 80s and early 90s WCW. This....possibly over and over agaiin....maybe while sitting with my NWA "Domed Globe" replica belt on. I may even cut promos on my kids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Coaster Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 This won't be the first thing I watch on the Network, but here goes... When I was a kid I somehow picked May 4, 1979 and told everyone who would listen it was the first day I ever watched wrestling. I don't know if its the actual date, but it was a Friday and that is when wrestling aired locally back then so I always stuck with it when I was younger. Even into high school I'd buy myself something and celebrate it as my "anniversary". This year that date falls on a weekend and will mark my 35th anniversary as a fan. As long as family and office commitments do not interfere (they both come first), I plan on watching the two In Your House events I attended in person on Friday night (Hart vs. Bulldog and Taker vs. Austin). Saturday will be a marathon of all 1989 WCW pay per views (my favorite year). Sunday morning (May 4 itself) I will watch the other non-Mania pay per view I attended in person (when Goldberg beat HHH) and then Sunday night I hope to attend Extreme Rules in person. Not counting travelling to Wrestlemania for the last 6 years, this will be my first true "wrestling weekend" since college so I'm really looking forward to it.

Cliff Hanger Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So whats the first thing you all gonna watch? I was hoping for When Worlds Collide, but since it's absent probably something Flair from 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kropotkin's Beard Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So whats the first thing you all gonna watch? Probably something from the WCW/NWA library, as I've seen very little from that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'm sure i'll use the free trial at least and I'm jumping straight to the new content be it Legends House or whatever else. Actually, speaking on that, I'm curious how much we'll get at first. Will they follow the netflix format and put the whole season on at once or just an episode a week or what?

cwoy2j Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I'll probably watch Starrcade 86 or Great American Bash 86. I remember those were the first two wrestling vhs tapes I saw. One of my cousins had them (and knowing what I know about him now and how expensive those things were back then, I strongly suspect they "fell off the back of a truck") and I used to watch them a ton as a kid. Haven't seen them since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offspring515 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Summerslam 91 was the first ppv my parents ordered for me. Before that I had to hope my cousins were getting the show. I watched my vhs copy of it until it fell apart. That will be my first stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen them since. The list on wwe.com only has GAB events from 88 onwards, Starrcade's are there though. I'm starting to think I'll never see the 85 Bash uncut.

Bummer but makes sense as GAB was kind of a summer long tour thing in 86 and 87. I think the tape my cousin had consisted of clipped versions of these two cards: July 5, 1986 in Charlotte, NC (Memorial Stadium) NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Denny Brown fought Steve Regal to a draw Robert Gibson defeated Black Bart Ole and Arn Anderson defeated Sam Houston and Nelson Royal Manny Fernandez defeated Baron Von Raschke (with Paul Jones) in a Bunkhouse match Wahoo McDaniel defeated Jimmy Garvin (with Precious) in an Indian Strap match Ron Garvin defeated Tully Blanchard (with James J. Dillon) in a Taped Fist match Road Warriors (with Paul Ellering) def. Ivan and Nikita Koloff in a Russian Chain match Jimmy Valiant defeated Shaska Whatley (with Paul Jones) in a Hair vs. Hair match Dusty Rhodes, Magnum T.A. and Baby Doll defeated The Midnight Express and Jim Cornette in a Steel cage match Ric Flair defeated Ricky Morton in a Steel Cage match to retain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship July 26, 1986 in Greensboro, NC (Greensboro Coliseum) Steve Regal defeated Sam Houston Black Bart and Konga the Barbarian defeated Denny Brown and Italian Stallion Manny Fernandez defeated Baron Von Raschke (with Paul Jones) in a Loaded Glove on a Pole match Wahoo McDaniel defeated Jimmy Garvin (with Precious) in an Indian Strap match Tully Blanchard (with James J. Dillon) defeated Ron Garvin in a Taped Fist match The Rock 'n' Roll Express fought Ole and Arn Anderson to a draw Paul Jones (with Shaska Whatley) defeated Jimmy Valiant in a Hair vs. Hair match Magnum T.A. defeated Nikita Koloff (with Ivan Koloff) in a match in the Best of 7 series for the NWA United States Championship to make the series 3-1. Road Warriors and Baby Doll (with Paul Ellering) defeated The Midnight Express and Jim Cornette in a Steel Cage match Dusty Rhodes defeated Ric Flair in a Steel Cage match to win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an hour or so? I didn't mean that it had all of those matches on the tape. It seems that the tape I had consisted of a few matches from both of those nights as I remember the Dusty/Flair switch on that tape as well as one of those taped fist matches, Valiant shaving Paul Jones' head and a couple of others. I was about 7 years old so I may be misremembering things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
