Was gonna do a title by title complaint reply, but figured I'd save myself the trouble by just pointing out that there's an assload of suck on that list.

Oh, and repeats.

And repeats of suck.

A couple of them look interesting, I'd like to see Raven and Dreamer discuss their feud in a WWE sanctioned venue. I imagine that Vince's reaction upon seeing the DVD would be, "Who the fuck hired Raven again?" I also don't see how anyone couldn't at least be interested in the Bruno Sammartino DVD.

I'm sure the Bruno DVD was something WWE offered as a sweetener for agreeing to be inducted into the HoF. Everyone makes a few bucks off it, no big thing.

I went to the Mick Foley "cheap pops" WWE Network special taping tonight at Full Sail. I think they said it should air next week. I've never been to a standup show before so I didn't know what to expect. It was good actually but it felt really short. Nothing really new was mentioned but all his stories flowed into the main topic and he was actually funny.  JR opened for Mick and he wasn't too bad. Lots of scatological and crude humor which surprised me. He did bring up his "the territory system being dead is bad" talking point which was funny. Also hearing him talk about Leroy Mcguirk and the McGuire twins  for a crowd of 20-30 year old is something else. For a show that went about a hour between the two of them and was worth $25, not sure if t was worth it but it was entertaining.

Most of them sound like stuff that should be an exclusive to the WWE Network, ie the JBL, Austin's one-man show, the Divas, etc. The documentary portions will be on the Network anyway, give or take a few months.

Weird. I'm glad you had fun though. Every person and show I ever got from someone said the show tanked. Maybe that ratio is lower than I thought.
