Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

I've been watching some RAW episodes from 2002 and was entertained/intrigued by heel HBK in the nWo. I wonder what the original long-term plans for him in that stable were? Kind of a shame that once the group started to get some momentum, Nash tore his quad and then they disappeared. Obviously, HBK did OK for himself, quickly going back face and setting up a match with Triple H at SummerSlam.

And after that feud he fell right off a cliff. Going to a nothing feud with Chris Jericho.

I feel like sarcasm is going on here but not sure.

I mean Jericho before their match at Mania was fighting with Test, because he knocked out Stacy Kiebler with a chair, and Jeff Hardy to a point because he came to he aid of Test. And iirc the reason why they had match at WM was because Shawn was a semi-mentor for Jeff. But he went from feuding with HHH for the title to a lower midcard feud that really didn't have a whole lot of build behind it. The build for that match seemed like something they would do today.

And I was over exaggerating a little.

All I remember about the 2003 feud was that WM19 match. Obviously can't hold a candle to their 2008 angle, even if that WM match was the best one they had.

If you wanna talk about forgettable HBK fueds from that era, gotta include the Orton one. On paper it sounds great, but Orton has that thing where he can have a decent match against almost anyone, but rarely has a great one.

Isn't that the same feud that built with Shawn being Jericho's idol when he was a kid hence the whole respect thing at the end of their Mania match that ended with Jericho low blowing him after that? I mean Shawn definitely did well after the nWo angle ended. It wasn't the title picture but that feud wasn't a nothing feud.

As you can see from the block of programming it lasts from 3 to midnight. I looked ahead on my TV and they continue with more old school wrestling (WCCW)

This is a good start towards addressing the live stream IMO.

People like to dog today's product.

I'm currently watching some 97 Raws, and I'm watching midgets wrestling after an all out brawl between NoD and the Hart Foundation.

So yeah...

Vince loved those little guys. Cracks me up when Bruce talks about it on his show.

WWE is adding more house shows. Always a good thing. Still missing some major title changes because of lack of house shows.
