    It's a play on an old Jerry Springer home video series.

        Yep. November, February, April, and now May.

        On the bright side though, every free month has brought us a large content dump.

        November: ECW content dump (Harcore TV and ECW Exposed section)
        February: Black History Month (though later removed)
        April: 1998 RAW
        May: ?? I'm hoping 1997 Nitro personally.

          That's what I was trying to say a few pages back about WWE giving the Network away for free too many times. Like I understand they want subscribers but don't force it down people's throats by offering free so many times while ticking off the subscribers that are already paying $9.99.

              Yep, won it on a go-home PPV show and then dropped the title on the PPV.

                Just when it seemed like they settled in an uploading pattern, they stop. For like 3 or 4 weeks straight they were uploading Raw and finally finishing up '96 with two Raws every Friday. For whatever reason, last week they completely skipped the first two Raw's of December '96 and uploaded the last Raw of November '96 and like the third Raw of that December and that was in the middle of last week. Friday, they added nothing. Then on Thursday I think they added in the second Raw of that December but not that first week.

                So now we're sitting here with November ending, but no Raw for the following week, then 2 Raws and no Raw to end '96 and still only two episodes of '97 while STILL no '97 Nitros. They're uploading is the absolute worse. If Vince wants to be complete control freak about something and making it perfect he should take a break from re-writing Raw 57 times every Monday morning and start getting this uploading in gear.

                  No WCCW updates (they've added all of 1 show since the original upload), no Nitro updates, no Tuesday Night Titans updates, no Prime Time Wrestling updates, no WWE Old School updates.

                  I really don't understand what WWE is doing with the Network.

                    I believe when Luger dropped it, it was the ppv where Kevin Nash dressed up as Sting and interfered, and Tony Schiavone swore it was the real Sting

                      In April they uploaded 12 new episodes of Prime Time Wrestling. My guess is WCCW and Old School are garnering very little interest. I don't think it'd be a stretch to say that less than 5% of subscribers even watch WCCW or Old School shows.

                        The Roman Reigns WWE 24 made me a believer in the guy. He really is a lot like Cena. May be a better heel character, but the guy is just such a good guy that it wouldn't make sense. Loved it!

                          Hard to get interested when there's a limited number of those shows to choose from.

                            It's like the situation with the Tomb Raider reboot. They recently bragged that it's the best-selling game in the series, but they only did this after releasing it for free on both PS3 AND Xbox360 -- which counts in the numbers. They added over a million "sales" on each system.

                            Musicians do the same thing. Giving away copies of an album for free at a concert counts in the sales numbers, a stunt that Madonna has pulled a couple of times.

                            Don't be surprised when they announce a large jump in subscriber numbers once these promotions are over, counting all the people that peeked in during the free period.
                            Same thing happens in sports too.Some teams exaggerate their attendance numbers by including free tickets given away as well.

                              I saw the Reigns WWE 24 special...a great special! Not as good as the WM30 special they had before, but much better than the specials they've done on people like Booker,Usos so far.

                              A much diff side to Reigns that you got to see. Getting to see the non TV side of Reigns is cool,especially his fan interactions. That scene with the little girl was so funny. She's like "I hope you win the royal rumble" and Reigns is like "Here's a secret...I already did". Then she's all confused, and Reigns is like, "I won it 2 months ago......Do you mean you hope I win at Wrestlemania?". Gave her a pass though cause she's like 5, but it was a funny moment to see.

                              Special was great though. Cool to see those moments with Reigns and his family,and the stuff with his daughter during WM weekend(and post-match). I think the fact that he lost actually made it a better/more dramatic ending. Heroic type story where the good guy falls short.

                              Really hope they got more of these lined up in the future cause it was great. Turn it into a monthly special in its own right lol. Each month focus on someone different in WWE, you have so many people to follow it'd work out for sure. I'm sure they got a WM31 special filmed already too,so looking forward to that.

                                HUGE NEWS regarding Tough Enough.

                                Jericho will be the host.
                                Hogan,Bryan,Paige will be the "expert panel"(whatever that is). I'm guessing maybe it'd be like they choose who stays/goes?


                                Booker T,Billy Gunn and Lita will be the coaches.

                                Surprised by Billy, would've thought they'd make Albert a coach since that's his new job down in NXT. Lita is the best choice for the female coach. Booker T though,I just hope he's around more this time, cause I remember last time they did tough enough, he missed abunch of dates cause he had to commentate on PPV,SD or whatever.
