    Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

    Watched the episode of Something To Wrestle With on Ted Dibiase, man I could listen to Bruce's Vince impression all day. My favorite part of that was when they thought they lost the Million Dollar Title and someone stole it. Bruce calls Vince at 2am, they tell him they lost the title. Vince's response: "What the hell do you want me to do about it?"

        When Austin had to have surgery on his neck(I believe) that just threw everything for a loop. Instead of the dream triple threat of Austin vs Rock vs Triple H, we ended up with Triple H vs Rock vs.... Big Show. Hunter beat him for the title on an episode of RAW in 2000. It seemed to me it would have been easier just to give Hunter the title at Survivor Series earlier than expected since he held the title anyway until Backlash 2000 when Rock beat him.

          You're definitely right as far as options. I thought about that after my post.

          But ****, Kane? Build X-Pac and the supporting cast of DX up and you could've gotten some good matches out of that. Give it to Mick as he promotes his book every damn show. Or, the easy choice; let The Rock shine.

            The funny thing is the fact that the guy wouldn't put it out at the $200 mark kind of makes him a heel in my eyes.

                Like I said before, I didn't think WM15 build was so great. Card on paper didn't seem so great either. After watching the event, it was way better than that!


                Long summary of the show:

                Spoiler


                For a 1999 show, I was surprised at how good the graphics looked on TV. The match card and nameplate graphics were great. For some reason though, they censored out mentionings of WWF. Logo wasn't blurred or anything though. And most other shows I've seen were fine with mentioning WWF. And like I mentioned, Undertakers gear was cool too.

                  Undertaker with them shoulder pads of doom.

                  EDIT: That version of Undertaker gets so much regard from my based on his WrestleMania 2000 character. So many gently slammed N64 controllers because of that reversing everything mutha****a.

                    Man, I think WM 15-16 are examples of more not equaling better, and WWE getting away with a lot of bad stuff because Stone Cold raised the bar and the intensity of the product overall. The crowds for those shows were insane, and they were eating up all that Attitude era stuff.

                    I will take WM 14 over both, and obviously WM 17 was a totally different level.

                          The backstory on this thing...

                            Ya, that's something about AE I've mentioned in the past too. Loud crowds help to "overrate" moments. The greatest match could take place, and have 0 reaction. An average 5 minute match could happen with an insane crowd and it'd seem like a WM worthy match. Starpower helped alot in AE, and fans are excited for the whole show and looking forward to what's happening with all the big stars, they can enjoy the other parts of the show too.

                            I mean the Oddities got reactions out of the crowd that are better than many people on the roster today! And nobody thinks for a moment the Oddities are better than most of what we have today. But fans back then were enjoying everything because they had reasons to be excited and look forward to other parts of the show.



                            Raw after WM15 obviously not as good as Raw after WM14, which was one of (if not the) best Raws in history. But still had some big moments in it.

                            -Part of show revolves around Austin demanding McMahon give Austin back his custom title

                            -Undertaker/Ministry with a great plan. Go after Sable, call out McMahon, and once he comes out, he realizes the entire Ministry isn't actually there. He runs backstage and finds out "Stephanie" has been taken! (sidenote, before that moment, were people supposed to know she was his daughter? Cole seemed to slip up, he almost said Stephanie is Vinces daughter, but he just stopped talking. Later in the night they did acknowledge the relation)

                            -XPac reminding people just how much things have changed in the past year. Raw after WM last year, HHH came out and brought XPac/NAO into DX. Now the Raw after WM15, HHH turned on DX and went corporate.

                            -SHAMROCK is the hero in all this! Steph kidnapped by the Ministry, Shamrock gets Christian to reveal where she is, and he just goes and finds her unsupervised...

                            Rocks interactions with the crowd are always great.
                            Rock: Nobody, and the rock means....
                            Crowd : Nobody!
                            Rock:......... Stop that!

                                I don't really care for these UK matches. They aren't bad or anything but it's nothing that makes me wanna watch again or tell someone else that they need to watch.
