Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I wonder what the stats are on the live streaming schedule viewing vs. on-demand viewing. Their streaming schedule has always been horribly repetitive. I did notice that they are actually showing a RAW flashback Thursday night this week instead of at 3 AM like they usually do, so maybe some changes are in order?Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
At least we know why WWE isn't in a hurry to upload these shows. I don't agree with it (what can it hurt to have the content available?), however.Currently Playing:

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I don't know if I'm alone in my view towards the Network, but I like having all buildup and context available. It's great that we have every PPV ever available; however, it's really hard to get into a certain timeline when there's no TV shows available to buildup to those PPVs.
At the same time, I know most of those old shows are filled with enhancement talent or jobbers, which people today don't care to watch. For example, I've been re-living RAW/Nitro from May 96 when the war began because the shows are filled with talent (Nitro moreso than RAW) up and down rather than mostly jobbers. When they first started releasing RAW from 93, I tried to watch so there'd be proper buildup but I couldn't sit through more than 5 episodes of RAW 93 before I gave up from boredom. I'd have to imagine the majority of today's audience, especially the younger subscribers would feel the same way but even worse; they'd probably be bored from 1996.
So it's kind of a catch 22...I want the buildup especially for the older shows, but at the same time, that **** is hard to sit through since we're used to almost 20 years now of not seeing jobbers.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
That Jerry Springer stuff shows you just how bad some stuff were in WWEs past. Too bad they didn't just make it more like that "are you serious" youtube show they used to have where they flat out made fun of their past moments.
Everyone knew it was bad the moment it happened,but the Mr.McMahon mocking JRs surgery stuff was just pathetic. Not just cause it's mocking a real life thing like that,but the segment itself was just horrible,even if he wasn't making fun of a real moment.
The Sunny-Elmo stuff....Again,just horrible.
Same with that Al Snow-Dawn Marie stuff they showed in the previous episode. Another horrible angle, and it was an angle I can't believe I actually watched/didn't hate when I saw it live lol. And you know they'll one day be showing the Katie Vick stuff on that show....do people really want to relive it? Even if they are making fun of it.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I just wanted to touch on this a little bit, I get why they're not uploading older stuff but I still think its a load of crap. The original series aren't that great, I like Renee Young but her show really? Who are their target audience with Network? Pretty sure most of their subscribers are die hard wrestling fans and I'm pretty sure people don't watch some of the original programming they have.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
WWE has now added two more 1996 editions of Raw to the Network. The December 23rd and December 30th shows have been added meaning Raw and Nitro are both at the same point in terms of uploads.
I hope this means 1997 Nitros are coming soon.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
Regarding the older material: I would LOVE to see the old stuff like Wrestling Challenge or Superstars not really for the wrestling but just for the back and forth on commentary where they just shoot the crap and not really give a damn what's going on in the ring. I'd also love to see more of the televised house show stuff as well.
I realize most fans today would be bored to tears by watching enhancement talent but I grew up on that stuff and it'd be fun to see it again.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club
