We've only had 90 seconds so far. I'm going to assume it's in full until we see otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 So, decided to watch WCW Spring Stampede 1999 on the Network. I'm only about 10 minutes in to the show (opening match a pretty awesome so far one between Juventud Guerrera and Blitzkreig) and already Tony Schivonne has made a crack about not even knowing Thunder aired "this past Thursday" after Mike Tenay was taking about the show, and then also mentioned about how fans are still filing in to the arena because their tickets have been comped. Way to put over your product, Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintthecrippler Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Harley vs David Von Erich is a great "World Champ makes the local rookie look good" match as well. Rob Van Dam vs Chris Jericho never before seen from the ECW vault is fun too. Not so much for the match itself, more so that it's fun watching a bloodthirsty New York ECW crowd respond mostly with apathy and very much not being in the mood for two long haired pretty boys doing gymnastics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Is there an easy way of seeing all the shows/segments under a certain category at once? The Hidden Gems section as I see it on my laptop has the most recent, but there doesn't seem a way to view all the shows/segments at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I am absolutely fascinated by the Legends Battle Royal upload. And not for the match which is pretty eh. It's the half hour of unedited interviews they had with the participants that is clearly not something the WWF did, but got the rights too anyway. I turned the corner on Gene Kiniski. All I knew him for was being the guy who ruined the Starrcade 83 main event. But he was this polite, no-nonsense guy who also looked like he was ready to beat the shit out of you if you gave him a legit reason to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I watched a Thunder that featured Juventud Guerrera vs El Dandy, Curt Henning vs Jim Neidhart and Scott Norton vs The Renegade. that was on one show. im watching an episode now that featured Kendal Windham vs Jim Duggan and Scott Steiner, super early in his Big Poppa Pump phase that he’s being referred to as White Lightning vs Johnny Grunge in a match that almost went 10 minutes I shit you not. heres the match: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Hidden Gems, looking forward to today's uploads. The only match confirmed so far to my knowledge is a 1984 Ric Flair-Jack Brisco match from Georgia Championship Wrestling.

Matt D Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 That'll be well and good when we get some unearthed main event from 1984 or 1977 or what not. It'll be far less good when we get a Velocity or FCW/OVW TV match or whatever. Even then, I'm a little disappointed if only based on the expectations from last week that WWE themselves set.

For the most part, I think WCW went with the Battlebowl booking of just drawing names at random and throwing them in a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 As a lapsed subscriber, I've just got three months of the network for 99p! First port of call was the Hidden Gems section, holy shit how great is the crowd for the Harley Race v Bob Backlund match?! Backlund is a total horse too, I forgot how powerful and in great condition he was in on his first run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIShane Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Continuing the recent welcome trend of bringing back delisted collections, the Wargames and 80s Ric Flair collections are back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Decided to pop on an old episode of RAW while toiling away at work and thought going back exactly 15 years would be interesting, so I watched the June 9, 2003 episode. It was the go-home show for Bad Blood and the story of the show was the upcoming Hell in the Cell match with Kevin Nash and HHH and Steve Austin picking Mick Foley as the special ref. Other matches being set up on the RAW for Bad Blood 2003 were Goldberg v Chris Jericho, Christian v Booker T for the IC Title, Test v Scott Steiner, Ivory v Jazz for the Women's Title, La Resistance v RVD/Kane for the Tag Titles, Shawn Michaels v Ric Flair, and Rodney Mack/Chris Nowinski v The Dudleys. Not exactly a blow away episode, but it was interesting to watch from a historical perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some odd tag-team matches too. I remember The Outsiders squashing Ace Darling & Devon Storm on a random Nitro. Hall and Nash were feuding with Luger and Giant so to mock L&G, Hall finished Darling with a chokeslam and Nash did the worst Torture Rack in history as he had Storm facing the wrong way as he did the move. That same show had a Bobby Eaton vs. Konnan match too. A couple of other weird singles matches I remember were Prince Iaukea vs. Pat Tanaka and Dean Malenko vs. Robbie Brookside.

PetrolCB Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I’m watching the 6/23/84 Mid-South, specifically Velvet vs Richter. Wendi has her measurements on the back of her tights. In case you’re wondering, they were 36-24-36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
