    Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

    I just watched Backlash 04, and them showing Benoit's kid in the crowd a bunch of times made me really uneasy, to be honest.

      I haven't watched a Benoit match since he killed his family and himself in 2007. Too difficult for me to separate that incident from what he did career-wise, prior to that. Scenes like you mentioned above would only make it that much more difficult.

        Not that bad to be honest. We got plenty of gator fans here. Like 1/5 of the population
        As for swerved, I want to see the skit where the security guard won't let Rollins into the building

          I liked Swerved. The poop mic was eh, but Tom Philips' reaction to the shock stools?

          I only caught half of Tough Enough, but the Tough Talk(?) post show on the Network was hilarious. I might just skip the actual show and watch this every week.

            Yeah, the poop mic was by far the bottom/meh part of Swerved. And the HOF was the worst place to do it. Really questioning that decision. The chair was great (Tom Phillips had me howling with his reactions) and the Hornswaggle part was good. Seeing Booker T jump like that, and the divas shriek when his head popped up, it was entertaining.

            It appears it's gonna be a weekly thing, since they only showed a fraction of what the commercials were previewing. Which is cool with me, as long as it keeps me laughing.

              And to make it worse, Darren Young upset that WWE blurred his partners face on it(they also blurred Titus' kids faces). I'm guessing likely reason is just cause they're not allowed to show the faces of people without their permission in something like that? Seeing how it was almost like a hidden camera type of thing and not official press stuff.

              But even then,it's more reason why it shouldn't have been done at HOF. You got peoples families/friends around here, at least act professional around them. And they might not want to have family members faces on TV and stuff so people won't bother them being like "you're related to ___!?". Even HHH/Steph do that too,don't think I've really ever seen a pic of them with their daughters,I'm guessing for privacy reasons and not wanting people to recognize them or anything,knowing they're the kids of famous people.

                ...it's a practical joke show. I know, I know - how dare they taint the prestigious Network-exclusive Hall of Fame preshow by having a microphone that smells like poop. It's not like they went up on stage and knocked Larry Zbyszko over during the actual ceremony.

                And yeah, they blurred out people because they didn't ask them (for whatever reason) for their permission to be shown. Some people were blurred, plenty of others weren't.

                  Darren Young is upset because they blurred his partner here, but not for unfiltered. Sometimes I feel ad if he's the kind of guy that makes mountains out of molehills.

                    Other than the poop mic stuff, I thought Swerved was entertaining. The reactions from Tom Phillips and Alex Riley were great.

                    On another note, the "Tough Talk" show was WAY better than Tough Enough itself(which was pretty bad). The Miz was on fire for half an hour.

                      im reliving some golden years of the attitude era. Watching all Raws and PPVs.

                      Man they use to beat the piss out of mankind.

                        IDK, I'm going to let him pass with his feelings, he's living a life style that's been shunned and repressed for years before recently being somewhat acceptable. I can't blame him for the outbursts, I'm sure if I was in the same boat I'd feel the same things he does.

                          Tough Talk was 1,000x more enjoyable than Tough Enough. Miz is great in this role and honestly, he probably should just take over hosting duties from Jericho, who I thought struggled a bit last night.

                            Tough Enough is a hot mess this season. The background music is loud and overbearing. The drama is also very petty.

                            I'm just surprised how bad the production is. WWE is usually very solid making reality shows with Legends' House, Total Divas, and last season's Tough Enough.

                            I agree with you guys that Miz is a better host than Jericho. He brings quick-witted humor with his interview questions.

                            This show is good for Daniel Bryan. Give him something to do while he's not wrestling. I like how outspoken he is as a judge.

                              I get that, but still feel like he's a bit too sensitive. Plus, it's pretty obvious it wasn't an intentional slight on Swerved, since in all the replays, his partner is no longer blurred.
