twiztor Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 i've always found it odd that Madusa showed up, throwing the WWF Women's Title in the trash. Then they introduce the WCW Women's Title, which she never won. wcw had ONE female "star" that they refused to capitalize on. truly bizarre.

It was a strange time for women in WCW with both a women's world title and women's cruiserweight title that they really didn't seem interested in promoting. And tons of women from GAEA that they pretty much wasted other than Hokuto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the only thing I remember about it was either Larry Z, Dusty or Bobby the Brain saying something like, "so who gets to tell the other women that they're too heavy to go for this belt?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo2653 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Watching the cage match on LU Vampiro mentioned his cage match with Sting so I checked it out (it was on a Nitro from May 15th, 2000). The match wasn't anything special, but the episode was all over the place! It was New Blood vs. Millionaire's Club era so it's super wonky but I did notice that plenty of people got segments and exposure over the 2 hour show.

RIPPA Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Ugh Quote WWE will be trying out new Network content on Monday night with "Bring it to the Table" premiering after Raw goes off the air. The pre-taped show will feature Peter Rosenberg as its host with Paul Heyman and JBL debating a variety of pro wrestling topics. The show appears to be modeled after similar debate-style sports programming regularly featured on stations like ESPN and FS1. Rosenberg, a radio/podcast personality and WWE fan, was previously featured on the Network when he appeared on the pre-show prior to the TLC pay-per-view last month. He tweeted about the show earlier on Monday and posted a picture that revealed some of its topics, ranging from Bret Hart, three-hour episodes of Raw, and fantasy match-ups. WWE has consistently used the post-Raw time slot on the Network to migrate viewers over from that show to debut new programming. No indication has been given as to whether "Bring it to the Table" will become a regular series at some point. The Network schedule describes the show as: "Immediately following Raw Peter Rosenberg brings the questions and concerns of the WWE Universe to the table in this fast paced discussion and debate with WWE insiders, Paul Heyman and John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield."

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Nope, this is terrible. Should RAW be two hours? Paul R: "Yes, I'd enjoy it more" Heyman and JBL: "who cares?

Thibs Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Ya know, it would be nice if they got someone who could actually stand up to a JBL or Heyman while they tow the company line. Like maybe mentioning the fact that viewership for Raw consistently drops as the show progresses, or the fact that the 3rd hour is often times the least viewed hour. Watching Rosenberg cower as Heyman and JBL recited pro WWE talking points was vomit inducing. Can Rosenberg, bring in Conrad Thompson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 That's true but with how this went I'm guessing if Rosenberg was not going to cower then there wouldn't be a show. I don't think there's a reason to give this another shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibs Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Right. I made my previous post knowing full well that they'd never let anyone have a voice that wouldn't tow the company line. JBL was going to bring Russo on his show months ago and they nixed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt788 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Rosenberg displayed levels of masochism that would make Michael Cole proud. He was doing great and then Heyman and JBL just gutted him. It was awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 The third hour isn't the problem. 3 1/2 hours straight on Tuesdays with 205 and Talking Smack, and most seem to really enjoy it. The problem is that a lot of RAW isn't very good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
