Matt D Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just now, odessasteps said: I guess, as someone from the pre digital and pre cable era, who grew up watching grainy TV until going to college, i don't fussed over video quality. I'm happy to finally watch X (be it 80s wrestling or British tv shows or what have you) especially if it is for free and also not putting money in vince's pocket. But that's me. I'm with Mark on this. Part of my brain is wired to at least accept the idea that if you're getting rare footage, there's a very good chance that it's going to be less than pristine. Moreover, given the smoke and mirrors involved with wrestling, sometimes HD is more of a hindrance than a help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Apparently today is the 25th anniversary of Ron Simmons winning the world title. That's ridiculous. The kid at the end is still my favorite part of the win... 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kronos Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Man, whatever you want to say about how JR became a parody of himself decades later, his call of this win is absolute perfection. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victator Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 1 hour ago, odessasteps said: I don't know why people who only watch old stuff would pay for the network when there is so much on YouTube or other places, including almost everything that IS on the network. Well the Network has things that are not at other places. Supporting the Network encourages WWE to do more with their library and upload stuff that has never been released. You also don't have to worry about it being taken down. I will say WWE is a lot cooler than other big media companies. I cancelled my network subscription because WWE is not doing anything to compensate past talent. That combined with them dragging ass on uploading stuff that was digitized years ago.

NikoBaltimore Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I keep mine mainly for NXT and if I'm up for a bit of old school wrestling. The network specials don't mean much to me save for the big 4, but for $10 it's not a bad deal. There is something that makes me nostalgic about watching old stuff on Youtube. Monsoon Classic having tons of the syndicated shows takes me back to a more innocent time. Now if I find localized promos I'd be way over the moon, they had some good stuff in those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 On the Karen/Strowman talk: Karen Jarrett downplayed the reports on today's conference call. She said, “Oh my goodness, I can clear the air. It was a silly incident where two people in the wrestling business were playing their characters – being silly and it got blown way out of proportion. The fact that it’s still in the news and it’s still being talked about, that’s a question that you took the time to ask I think is hysterical.” She added, “It’s silliness. It’s the wrestling business, we had fun with it and somebody took it and turned it into something more than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 So I'm guessing Dave's "sources" were people that saw one thing then left before they could see it was all in good fun? If that's the case then Dave needs better sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should go into more detail. But I politely asked him about it Monday but he was a condescending ass to me. Which I am sure you can relate to, as I did nothing to you. But you still decided to attack me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Anyway... It's weird, I've never been a big Cena fan until he moved to SDL. I thought since his move there and the feud with Ambrose and Styles he was better than ever. So now I'm bummed that he's going to do a pretty shitty movie. I can't be the only one disappointed that we might not see Cena in a title match at WM. Strange words to type out, but there they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Curt Hawkins is currently on a 100 match lose streak. http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/article/curt-hawkins-100-match-losing-streak i don't know how everyone else feels about Curt Hawkins and the current gimmick but I love it, it's so goofy and weird.
