Watching the 2011 season of Tough Enough. Man, Stone Cold was so good in those elimination segments. Must-see TV.

I wonder what Austin thought when seeing what did happen to those people from Tough Enough. How the person he insulted the best, ended up making it to the main roster, and people he was high on,aren't in WWE.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Watched the "Razor Ramon" debut Raw for the first time since it happened back in '96 last night. I STILL can't believe they thought that would be a good idea with the fake Ramon and Diesel thing. Though JR with the original pipebomb in WWE history was great. Much different watching that rant now as an adult that knows what I know about the business and everything that's happened since and when I saw it originally as a kid and didn't really understand it.

The funny thing about the fake Diesel and Razor is, in an interview Nash said WCW was convinced him and Hall were leaving to go back to WWF because of the build up to the fake Diesel and Razor, so WCW gave them raises to ensure that they didn't leave

Probably didn't give it a second thought, but it is interesting that Arianne made it to WWE after that showing. Although, if it wasn't for Total Divas, I don't think she is in the company.

Well she was up with the Funkadactyls before Total Divas was a thing, wasn't she?

He mentions it in the nWo episode of Legends of Wrestling.

GTFOH, man. Y'all kill me sometimes. Of course everyone isn't gonna be liked 100% of the time. And while I do see Cena get bashed, I also definitely see him get his fair share of props. While I'm a proud member of the Cena Sucks club, I've always said how I'd love to see him and Punk main event multiple Wrestlemanias. Not Punk and Bryan but, Cena and Punk.

Smark this and Smark that. I don't even know what that is anymore. Someone who just goes against what WWE wants to do is what I'm guessing it is to most of you.

A Smark to me is essentially a fan who,feels like they are above the fray and have a higher understanding of what's best for business because they read the Internet or have been watching for 20 years. Smarks are the fans that refuse to let go of the fact that the product they bitch about each week is tv-pg. Smarks also complain about how they could do such a better job booking the product yet come back each and every week

This is a dicey statement. Let's not act like WWE is perfect in how certain things are booked. It is possible to enjoy parts or even a majority of the product but still have issue with how certain things are booked.

I'm not speaking to the Daniel Bryan/Dolph Ziggler should main event every show crowd here. I'm not talking about the, let's just call them the "YouTube commenting" crowd that yearns for the Attitude Era to this day. Those folks are the lowest common denominator and the more they are ignored the better it is for actual intelligent folks that have legit gripes with certain aspects of the product.

In general there are plenty of level headed, rational people both here and in other parts of the "IWC" as it were that have legit criticisms about the product.

Yep, that did happen shortly before the reality show. I think that show has helped extend her career in WWE. Had she not been on Total Divas, I think she's gone after Tons of Funk ended.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

According to a source on Reddit, who in the past has given updates of content coming soon to the Network (and those updates have come true), "Expect a **** load of Attitude Era Raws to go live next Monday, mainly from 1998."

While this is good news, I really wish they wouldn't skip 1997! I so badly want to see 1997 that's not a ****ing VHS rip.

I just want the 1997 Nitro episodes! It sucks having Starrcade 97 to watch but you don't have the build up that led to the big match between Sting vs Hogan.

WWE Network Discussion Thread

So saw this morning that at some point overnight they uploaded two more episodes of '96 Raw. I appreciate them finishing up October of '96 but really bro? Two episodes?

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

To me there are casual fans who just watch the product on TV, Internet fans who go on the forums and read rumours (which is all of us).

Now within that group, everyone is technically a smark.

However, people who I consider smarks are the ones who:

- Call people by their indy names and refuse to acknowledge their current ring name.

- hate everyone who hasn't done ROH or is called Dolph Ziggler

- make jokes instead of actually discussing or having constructive criticisms

- PG rating is reason why WWE sucks now

- says they are quitting watching but still watches every show

Those are things that I consider 'smarky'. That's the behaviour I try to discourage but I know that people can't help themselves. Like the 'Husky Harris' chanters on Raw or those crowd members that try to get themselves over no matter who is in the ring or how entertaining something is.

We are all smarks but we shouldn't be smarky. Just my take.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

so the Attitude Era Raws are up 3 episodes from 1997 and all the episodes from 1998 its listed under Raw Attitude Era under the In Ring section, makes me wonder if they will upload other AE Raws over time, here's another interesting tidbit from Reddit take this with a grain of salt

i have received word from a guy whos uncle works at WWE that WWE will be uploading a full year of WCW Nitro from 1997 and Saturday night 1997-1998 in early May. Nothing is confirmed this might be a rumor.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

While it's great they uploaded a whole year's worth of RAW, I can't help but feel underwhelmed and annoyed.

I've tried to watch things in order as much as possible...I think I made it through 3-5 episodes of 1993 RAW before I gave up and realized that there's no way I can sit through superstar vs jobber matches. I have finally been able to make it through most RAW and Nitro right when Scott Hall first appears. That's a great era and I'm really enjoying the hell out of re-living it as an adult. But there's still plenty I'm not interested in and thanks to the milestones, I can skip through matches I don't care about.

With that said, I can't help but feel irritated that the Network has only uploaded Nitro through 1996 and RAW right now through October 1996. Then they come out today and upload 1998, which is awesome but it completely skips 1997. As a kid I really enjoyed both programs in 1997 and it had some very important events. I'm only in June 1996 right now but it irks me that they skipped 1997 completely in favor of 1998. I get why, it's solely marketing purposes and WCW owned WWE's *** in 1997...hopefully 1997 RAW and Nitro won't be afterthoughts for a long time.

They uploaded the last 3 episodes from Dec 1997 through January 4th 1999. I just turned on the first episode to get a sense of what's happening and it's 8 days after IYH: DX. It's just too random of a spot for me to start watching from there. Does anyone else feel this way?
