BrianS81177 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I would try to be patient with the service right now. If they are still having these problems months from now, then people should worry. Personally I am trying to wait a few months before subscribing. Do it now. It's worth it.

MGFanJay Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've had great luck watching ECW PPVs today. The VQ on these things is DVD quality, and it's so nice to have them in that quality without having to pay out the ass for DVDs of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Finally got through today. Watched michinoku pro six man from barely legal. Very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've gone down the 2000 WWF wormhole. That double tables match from Royal Rumble is a total lost classic but the TLC matches stole its thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 OK fellas, I've got my buddy to agree to let me educate him on all the great stuff he missed out on by only watching WWF his whole life. Lesson 1 is Barry Windham. Assuming I have 2 hours of time, what should I show him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Whatever you do, show him the Widowmaker after he properly appreciates NWA Barry Windham so that he, too, can wonder wtf the WWF was thinking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm a little nervous. Now, for the last three days the live stream has been flawless but just now as I was watching Royal Rumble '13 it froze for a few seconds before resuming and then did it again later on. It's been perfect now for the last 20 minutes, though.. I'm nervous because I'm wondering if it was a high traffic issue... I really hope they are fully prepared for the live shows like NXT tomorrow and of course WM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's how lame Windham's WWF/E gimmicks have been. When he said "Who?" I told him "Widowmaker, Stalker, new Blackjacks". The only one he remembered was New Blackjacks which isn't fair because that was Barry at about 60% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 That run as US champion he had where he made Dusty, Bam Bam and Luger look like a million dollars apiece is a starting point. But if they ever put up the Battle of the Belts shows, THAT. That right there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson 1 is Barry Windham. Assuming I have 2 hours of time, what should I show him? Any of the stuff where Barry Windham turns heel and starts using the Claw and being U.S. Champ and feuding with Luger. Wait, no! If you can find Windham and Luger winning (and losing) the tag belts first, that stuff is super awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm watching Spring Stampede '94. You know who was really good before his knee injury before he left WCW? Johnny B. Badd. He and DDP had great chemistry. The variety of matches on this card is amazing. We've got garbage matches, brawls, scientific bouts, etc. You need to watch every card from Superbrawl 1994 until Fall Brawl 1994. Johnny B Badd, along with William Regal, is one of the MVPs of WCW workrate in 1994. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they'll put the Clashes up at some point I'm sure. True. I actually saw most of this stuff via YouTube. Someone had up every NWA Worldwide for 1989 and most of the Saturday Nights, so I saw quite a few clipped versions of '89 NWA matches (and had to search for awhile just to find a fan-cam version of the end of Midnights/Arn + Tully). I wonder if some of this stuff comes up if you search Barry Windham? I'll have to try it when I'm able to access the Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the network I can follow along at my leisure. And parts of Dusty's "Walk Behinder" promo are in the Fall Brawl 1994 video package while they set up WarGames. That match could have used blood but it was bloody awesome even without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The PPV's are sucking up enough of my time. I can drop cable if they ever put all the Clashes and SNME's up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I take back what I said on the first page. I think the quality of some of the PPVs was only grainy because the shit was buggy as hell at that point. The video quality on all the PPVs I've checked out today has been pretty damn good. No Way Out 2001 looks better on the network than it did the day I ordered it on PPV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 At a quick glance I see: Windham/Dustin Rhodes/Nikita Koloff vs Austin/Eaton/Arn Beach Blast 92 Windham vs Flair Slamboree 94 (is this the one where he blows out his knee?) Windham vs Flair Beach Blast 93 Windham vs Arn Slamboree 93 Windham vs Muta Superbrawl 3 Windham/Dustin vs Dr Death/Austin Halloween Havoc 92 (why were Doc and Austin teaming?)

Web Conn Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 So when I watch November to Remember 97 It goes from Taz vs Pitbull 2 to Rob Van Dam vs Tommy Dreamer. They completely edited out the Tag match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Still nothing on xBox. Anybody have any info on that? Are they both just placing the blame on the other? I hope it gets fixed soon.

Big Z Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 OK fellas, I've got my buddy to agree to let me educate him on all the great stuff he missed out on by only watching WWF his whole life. Lesson 1 is Barry Windham. Assuming I have 2 hours of time, what should I show him? War Games 1991 and 1992. He opens 1992 against Austin, and I believe he opens 1991 against Pillman. Starrcade '90 with Arn/Barry against Doom. Pillman-Windham taped fist match at SuperBrawl I. Windham/Rhodes vs. Austin/Zbyzsko at SuperBrawl II. Windham/Pillman against Steamboat/Shane Douglas from Starrcade '92. A shame that the Clashes are not up, as Windham/Scorpio from Clash 19 is phenomenal. Also, Windham/Luger vs. Arn/Tully at the first Clash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Man, given I will probably average maybe an hour a night to watch old stuff...I'm never going to get through all this. Watching Havoc '89. Was surprised to hear such organized "Boring" chants that far back...but then remembered where it was being held. Also...on Tom Zenk: "This young man has superstar written all over him. Barring a serious injury, with a look and attitude like that he has a long and glorious career ahead of him."
