Watching Jeff Hardy vs Essa Rios for the Lightheavyweight title and seeing Lita attacking Matt and Jeff and costing Jeff the title feels so weird.

I loved that the hospital played his entrance music while they wheeled him in to the operating room

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

The latest episode of the 'The Last Dance' covered Dennis Rodman skipping practice to be at Nitro and be apart of Pro Wrestling. That prompted me to go back on the Network and watch the DDP/Karl Malone vs Hogan/Rodman Match.

I looked up the buyrate for this PPV, 580,00. It was their highest buyrate for the entire calendar year in 1998. The inclusion of Karl Malone and the controversy of Rodman missing practice brought so many more eyes to WCW. After that, their buyrate went back down and they never reached that high of a buyrate following this PPV. Incredible how WCW built momentum bringing in Rodman & Malone and were never able to capitalize on it.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

I started watching the late 80s NWA stuff again and I’m loving it. I’m really enjoying the Luger vs the Horsemen feud after he got kicked out, the Road Warriors vs Powers of Pain is way better than I expected, Sting is developing in to a star, and I can’t get enough of heel Larry Zbysko. Cornette’s one lines crack me up, “They call Dusty Rhodes’ sister fedex, when she has a date she’s guaranteed to be there overnight.” Big Johnny getting paired with The Sheepherders might be the oddest pairing I’ve ever seen

I never realized that the week after Mae Young gave birth to a hand was the first week she got power bombed by Bubba through a table.

She was busy in more ways than one.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Wwe released a free version of the network. Has the past 2 months of shows along with new episodes of the returning Raw Talk, select past PPVs and other shows on demand.


Also, theres a special feature on Sting that was shot in 1995 before his match vs Big Bubba (Bossman), but never aired until now. It's basically WCW24.

Would be nice seeing more of these backstage things from the 90s. I know many aren't shot in doc style, but from other pieces I've seen in the past, they definitely seem to have many clips backstage in that we never see. Would be cool seeing what backstage was like during those days in gorilla.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Weird how we get so accustomed to certain things that it stands out when it doesn't happen.

I just watched a Rock promo where he didnt even end it with "if you smell what the Rock is cooking". He just said his piece, his music hit, and he walked to the back. Random thing to point out, but feels so weird not having him end a promo like that.


And the ending to Hardys vs Head Cheese was so awkward. Matt comes in with a dive....and hits absolutely nobody. Blackman just gets confused and improvised by picking hardy up and getting caught in a weak rollup for the loss.

Underrated top pop contender, Vince McMahon returning in 2000. Steps out of limo, fans go crazy, knocks out HHH and storms to the ring, takes out Shane and counts the 3 for The Rock. Fans went insane!

Heres shocking news.

WWE Network is no longer free for new subscribers!

Now what will commentators say when hyping up PPVs!?

They’ll probably remind you of everything that’s now available for free.

Are PPVs still available through directv? Maybe they can go back to calling people idiots that pay for that instead of the network like they used to

That was one of stupidest marketing strategies I've ever seen in my life from any company.

"Hey, why pay $60 a month when you can pay $9.99?! Haha, you guys paying $60 a month are stupid."

Meanwhile, that $60 a month pricetag is from their own company! Only way those promos would've made sense is if WWE only gets under 15% of the PPV revenue.

I guarantee the people who know the numbers knew it wasn’t an idiotic strategy. Of course, the IWC probably knows the balance sheets better than the people who examine them every day.

I know it was done to promote the network, but how does making fun of people bringing in $50 extra per person make sense?
