This is a very dark beginning to this Hardy Documentary. Even covering the 2011 Victory Road incident.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

This is a very dark beginning to this Hardy Documentary. Even covering the 2011 Victory Road incident.

I’m surprised WWE used the footage they did in regards to that incident. That seemed like the raw, unedited version to me.

For those who somehow have never heard about this incident: Here’s the rundown: Stings the TNA World Heavyweight Champion and is set to compete in a match against Jeff for the belt. His music hit is nowhere to be seen, he finally comes out stumbling to the ring because he is drugged up or drunk, couldn’t get what Jeff said in the doc. Then Sting comes out and Borash starts to announce the match, Jeff first. Then Eric Bischoff, who is the on air booker if I remember correctly, comes out from the back and says, “Slight change in plans, ladies and gentleman, slight change in plans. The Network screwed over Jeff last week so Im here to make things fair (keeping kayfabe alive) Then goes over to Sting and changes the match, tells Stinger, ‘It’s going to be a Stinger Splash, Scorpion Death Drop and you’re outta here. Take him out. I just called it.” After the match is over fans are chanting this is Bull****, and Sting walks to the top of the ramp and says I agree.

Here’s a link if you ever feel the need to watch for yourself. https://youtu.be/6M6Map7CyJY

I remember when those bizarre videos were showing up of Jeff and (especially) Matt, and people were wondering if they were just working/acting, or if they were legit going crazy. Guess we have our answer.

You forgot the part where Sting is trying to pin Jeff to end the match but Jeff keeps kicking out cause he's so ****ed up so Sting forcibly tries to get Jeff down for the 3 count. That 3 count was the new finish, I think.

Luckily the ref had a decent pace on his count because Jeff was on the verge of kicking out when the three hit the mat; it was so close that if they had broken the count at 2, it wouldn't have botched a count.

Watching that video makes me appreciate WWE even in its current state.

I'd never listened to the TNA episode of Bruce's show but this made me check out the clip on YouTube about this incident.

It's pretty obvious stuff that happens outside WWE doesn't happen in WWE for a reason, pal.

I wish they had a better "recommended" section or a trending section or something. I went into the app out of boredom over the weekend and I just wanted to see some good random matches I maybe missed from any era.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

The 24 special on the Hardys was really good.

Like Matt, there's part of me that still worries about Jeff. I hope he can truly find happiness and live a long, fulfilling life.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Finally got to the Raw before WM15. Still don't think overall build is so great for it.

Despite that, Raw kicks off with Austin walking into the arena, passing a Coors light truck. Foreshadowing what'd happen literally 10 minutes later! I didn't realize that moment happened in the opening segment of the show! That's one of those moments on Raw that never gets old to rewatch.

Forgot that Undertaker-Bossman was only the 3rd ever HIAC match. What a disappointment. Such great ones with HBK and Mankind, to follow it up with one like that.

And Triple H comes out dressed as Goldust, shoots Kane with a flamethrower.


For whatever reason, Cole kept hyping it up as the biggest Raw ever.

Big Show's December 1999 title run is the worst. Defending against bums and the title itself being an afterthought.

That was a weird stretch during the Attitude Era.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

I remember that reign happening but can't remember a single match of it. What kind of bums are we talking about here?

Edit: Looked it up myself. ...jesus
