Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

The raw before summerslam with undertaker and Kane together was great. That first entrance with them together was so cool!

Then Nation humiliate chyna while dx is stuck in locker room because of a forklift. Somehow HBK is there and comes to rescue?

And summerslam itself, that rock VS hhh ladder match for ic title was huge. Fans in it the whole time, and cheered for result like its a WM main event. Match of the year candidate easily. Ladder matches at MSG don't disappoint.

That lions den match with Owen VS shamrock was actually good. Lions den structure was better than I thought it'd be.

And of course the main event of Austin VS taker. Hard to follow that ladder match, but that was still a good match.

I don’t care how many times I see it, The Rock’s promo in Toronto after No Way Out 2003 never gets old. Hollywood Rock was so damn good.

I don't care if the Invasion wasn't WCWs A or even B team, just watching this moment on youtube and I'm hyped up too.

15 years ago last month! That and HBKs in Montreal are 2 of the best in WWE history. Fans were HUGE reason why. It's one thing to deliver a big promo, but having fans hanging on every last word, basically wanting to jump over the barricade and get to you for most of the promo, now that's heat.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Incoming Triple H rant. If you’re a fan, hide your virgin eyes:

Spoiler

Watching the RAW after No Way Out in Toronto, Rock promo was epic of course, then there’s the 20 man battle royal to determine who faces Triple H at Wrestlemania, which Booker T won. Reading around the net that that’s not how it was supposed to go down. The Rock was supposed to face Booker T one-on-one in a match and was going to put Booker over to build him up for Mania. However Rock got wind that Triple H was going to go over on Booker at Mania, so Rock refused to do the one-on-one match because he felt it was pointless to take a clean loss that made him look weaker, just for Triple H to look even stronger by going over the guy he built up with the expectation of then getting behind him to create a new star. Instead Rock chose to do the mini program with The Hurricane. This feeling stemmed back from WM 18. People backstage said Rock was livid that he’d spent the summer helping elevate Chris Jericho to main event status just for Triple H to come along and completely **** all over that work by burying Jericho in their WM feud.

This was all at the height of Triple H and Rock’s dislike for one another during that time period. Which in part led to what would eventually happen when WWE let The Rock’s contract run out in 2004. Many believe that Triple H influenced that absurd decision, because The Rock had no intention of leaving the company and was intent on making both Hollywood and WWE work. He’s was quoted saying that he had already been trying to come up with storylines for the next WM before everything went down. The thought was that Triple H convinced Vince that The Rock would fail in Hollywood and would come crawling back to WWE and they’d sign him for cheaper. When that didn’t happen, Triple H TRIED to go Hollywood himself he apparently lobbied HARD to be casted as Conan the Barbarian when that project was getting off the ground which is where that Conan Wrestlemania entrance of his cane from. When he got passed over for the role is when the narrative shifted to Triple H being the wrestling purist who couldn’t leave the business like The Rock had “abandoned” everybody even though WWE didn’t RE-SIGN HIM. Triple H’s description of events in his dvd documentary; “I remember Vince coming up to me and Rock and saying…'[I want to] try to put you two in a couple of movies.’ I remember Rock being really excited and then Rock leaving and me saying ‘Can I talk to you for a second?’…I really didn’t have any interest in it at the time.” Triple H was all too glad to have the narrative out there that Rock ran off to Hollywood and left WWE behind and had guys talking about Rock like company man Cena and Randy Orton claiming Rock was acting “Hollywood” to all the wrestlers at the 2008 Hall of Fame when he was there to induct his dad and grandfather.

So yeah, long winded version of **** Triple H.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Judgement Day 2004 was an interesting one.

I wish Mordecai would have had a longer run, and had his feud with The Undertaker.

Rey and RVD are a fun team.

Cena was so much fun, and Renee Dupree at 20 years old was not too shabby.

Eddie lost soooooo much blood in that main event. JBL was a fun character, but rushed so fast...but this match made him the best heel on Smackdown if not all of WWE.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

You don't often hear about this match being cited as one of the better matches of the '90s (mainly because of the interference and they had a better match at IYH 6) but I thought the Hart/Diesel match at RR '95 was a pretty fun match. I will always respect Bret for making any match he's in look like a life and death struggle especially when he's taking on bigger guys.

I think he's the best ever at making matches look like a real fight, something that has become a lost art. AJ does a pretty god job of it, but nobody else really sticks out to me

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Good lord why didn't someone warn me that WWE had butchered RAW so badly on the Network. The first Rock Concert from the RAW before Wrestlemania 19 has been completely edited out of the episode. It literally starts with Rock sitting in the ring with his guitar, the lights go low, the ring lights up with The Rock's name, he talks a little trash about Sacramento and says he wants Stone Cold Steve Austin to listen to the first song.....before a single note is played, it skips to Austin's truck blowing through the speakers set up outside the arena headed inside. The Rock calls for security, they come down and the glass immediately breaks for Austin's music. They fight and that's it.

This is blasphemy of the highest caliber and almost egregious enough to cancel my subscription right now. What the hell Vince?
