    Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

    They really are being stingy about this Raw in order thing. They've uploaded two, I repeat TWO more episodes of '96. November 4 and November 11. We'll be at '97 by July at this rate.

      Man, Heyman has always been great on the mic hasn't he? Just watched an episode of ECW Hardcore TV from late 1993 and Heyman cut a promo on Terry Funk. Gold. Just gold.

        It seems like they upload two or three Raws every week or two, we might get to 1997 by end of May or early June barring another huge Raw dump

          Since edits only seem to be pointed out when there's an opportunity to complain...I want to point out a positive edit.

          Went back to watch Wyatt vs. Taker (I had to run out and missed most of the match), and noticed they've added the hype video for that match after Rock/Rousey left the ring. On the live PPV they just cut to the announce table who set the scene before Wyatt's entrance started.

            Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

            I can honestly say that WWE Network is the reason I got back into wrestling after taking a 10 year hiatus after WrestleMania 20.

            I can now also honestly say that the WWE Network is the only reason I'm still paying attention to what's going on and am watching any type of wrestling. WrestleMania 31 was awesome because I had such low expectations, but everything after the moment Brock Lesnar went on a rampage and got suspended has been a complete and utter bore. I honestly doubt I'll even watch Extreme Rules as I expect little to no progression in storylines, none of which I even care for because it's just re-match city as far as I'm concerned. NXT is the only thing that's been semi-interesting to me in 2015 as far as wrestling goes and even that has been a little slow as of late.

            With that said though, I am currently enjoying the crap out of re-living the Monday Night Wars. I'm in July 1996 and have been watching RAW/Nitro simultaneously on my dual monitors and then watching PPVs standalone. 19 years later this era is still more captivating and thrilling than today's product, despite already knowing the outcome of the major storylines. Everything in this era is so much better. The star power is second to none, there are a TON of workers that are money on the microphone, the wrestling is top notch (WCW more so at this time). Watching this era again shows a huge difference in the workers of the 90s/00s and today. Back then microphone skills were so much better. The wrestlers just felt like actual stars too. Hogan, Nash, Hall, Sting, Savage, Flair, Luger...they just all have this star presence to them in one form or another that ****s on 95% of the stars of 2015. And I haven't even gotten to the Attitude era yet. Announcing is also WAY better back then than today.

            So for that, I am thankful for the WWE Network for allowing me to re-live my childhood and actually enjoy watching wrestling in 2015.

              Rematch city? Rusev/Cena and Orton/Rollins are the only rematches on the card

                Honestly, the PPV after Wrestlemania has been an event of rematches for quite some time. Going back as far as Wrestlemania 11 at least and that's just the first Wrestlemania and In Your House that I felt like looking back for.

                  And this will be what, at least the 3rd time for both matches? Especially when we know neither Cena or Rollins are dropping the titles, there's not much interest to draw me in.

                    I could actually see Cena dropping the belt via something goofy like an exploding monitor. I just don't see him as a long term US Champ

                      3rd for Cena/Rusev, 2nd for Orton/Rollins, and the first one wasn't for the title, which gives it a different feel.

                      I see Cena holding fir a while if for no other reason than it keeps him away from the World Title picture for a while.

                        Which is fine but the storylines have been very underwhelming to the point where I have no interest even to fast forward via DVR anymore. This happened last year as well, after the lame re-match between Brock/Cena at NOC, I didn't watch another PPV or RAW until Royal Rumble time. Creative is so bad, commentary is awful, and today's workers just don't have that star presence or ability to connect with fans on the mic that guys in the past did IMO. Obviously this is partly creative's fault for scripting crappy promos, but there needs to be more guys like CM Punk who basically say "no **** you, I'm going to have more freedom and not going to follow all of your crappy scripts". At least I think that's what he did, that's what I gathered after watching his BITW documentary.

                            Pretty sure Orton and Rollins have fought more than twice tho, some of those were Raw matches.

                              So I've gone through about 4 or 5 RAWs from the AE. Good god, if you grew up in that time period the nostalgia is ****ing awesome. Random observations while watching:

                              Talent ****ing sucked, man. It is amazing to be that raw was still entertaining with the lack of talent on the roster at that time.

                              So many factions/tag-teams

                              DX and The Rock were the most disrespectful human beings around.

                              Everything has it's place. Everything isn't centered around the main event or forgotten about.

                                There was the brawl when Orton turned on him, and then the "match" that was just a brawl with the Authority and Sting. I'm pretty sure Mania was their only actual match since the Evolution/Shield feud
