GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 May 22 95. Sleeping on a very out of of this timeframe promo from Bret, as he calls Lawler a piece of shit and busts his nose open. It's kinda awkward. Comes off as a total jerk too.

RIPPA Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 So they debuted a Ride Along episode yesterday with Bryan and Ellsworth and Slater and Rhyno Was there any promotion of this at all? I didn't know it happened until now when they tweeted about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Yeah, there was one ad and that was all you heard about it. They didn't even say anything in the closing graphics which they tend to do. But given who's driving I think I'll check it out, should be nice and wacky.

RIPPA Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 It actually wasn't too bad. A lot of talk about Ellsworth's Indy career and the weird ass connection he has to Gillberg. And Slater and Rhyno has a natural chemistry so them riffing off each other is nice as opposed to when they just stuff guys in a car together for the wacky. An upcoming episode will have Cesaro and Rollins (which I remember Rollins tweeting about) and Neville and Sami Zayn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So, with the recent news that ICW is coming to the Network, with Progress and others probably following not too long after, I wonder how that's going to work. With Progress, for example, I would think that it would be a Hulu deal where the most recent season isn't available, but previous ones and chapters are. Then when they get into their newest run, that's when a new season and those chapters go up. I also wonder if all of profanity will stay in.

Jiji Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Meltz suggested something similar where you wouldn't see anything live but it would serve as a VOD service. Then he recognized that ICW (and Progress) have their own VOD platforms. So it's going to be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah, I have no idea how any of that will work, unless it's something, again, like Hulu and some other services. Maybe if you're a current subscriber to ICW or Progress, you can watch that content on WWE Network. So you'll click on that "channel" on the Network, you'll be prompted to enter your login for those services, and then they'll be available to you.

Niners Fan in CT Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 All of the ECW content with all the profanity is intact I do believe so maybe they just slap the TVMA tag on them and let it fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 So, they added a Jimmy Snuka collection today. The only thing that I don't remember popping up is a match versus Shawn Michaels. Can't imagine that that's "new" footage, though. Just not a match I'd seen personally. There's also a segment from Confidential that made me realize that I'd completely forgotten about the existence of that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It's quite hard to find the button to cancel your subscription now. But when you do, they ask you why you're doing it. And one of the buttons is "The booking sucks, you keep pushing shit Wrestlers I hate as top babyfaces". Polite version, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Watching the 24 on Wrestlemania Dallas and I think it is probably a good thing that the New Day talked to Triple H about his entrance for the show. I would think that Vince would absolutely support the idea of 3 men coming out of the back of a truck that look like butt cheeks. Man that 2001 AJ Styles WWE audition tape. When he said he wasn't ready he wasn't kidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I'm assuming Inoki vs. Hansen had to be moved to Canada to avoid a possible international incident over who would do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Just got an email notice that more "classic" SD eps have been added to The Network in the 2006-2009 era. Does that catch them all up on SDs, or are there still a few more years to be added? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 They're still missing 2010 & 2011. It's still pretty fucking great that you can go back and watch just about any segment or match from the show's history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Watching old NWA TV yesterday, the 12/7/85 (I think) show has an excellent studio match with Magnum/Houston/Billy Jack vs Arn/Tully/Ole that goes about 15 minutes with everyone getting some great shine. Definitely worth digging out, even with the obvious finish. OR IS IT? Spoiler It is. But Sam looks great and the finish protects him nicely.
