    Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

    Anyone catch the Edge day of documentary on his last match with Orton? I didn’t realize Edge tore his tricep. He also said he’s bringing back the Tated T Superstar when he comes back, whatever that means.

      Everyone knows the "life sucks and then you die" line from Mr.McMahon, but I never saw the whole promo before.

      The whole promo was so good, and obviously the ending tied it all together perfectly.

        Crazy to compare Vince in 1996, when he was still the straight laced babyface play by play guy, to just 4 years later with him holding court and controlling a crowd like that. Amazing.

          Even in 97 he was like that too. 98 feud with Austin is when he really turned into the evil boss.

          Speaking of McMahons, Shane has been consistent the whole time. Even when he was first on TV vs later time in AE, he was great on the mic and around the ring.

          Steph had the biggest transformation. In 99 she was just "daddy's innocent little girl". And early days of McMahon-Helmsley era she still wasn't the best on the mic, but the fans helped make up for it with their chants (spoiler, they weren't calling her a klutz). But you could tell how she was feeding off the crowd to channel the evil character. And having HHH/Vince coaching backstage probably helped a lot too.

              This promo is all kinds of foreshadowing and irony knowing what we know now lol.

              Vince: Shane, you would really like it if I stepped down so you can takeover right?

              Reality: Triple H and Stephanie are Taking Over

              Vince: And all of you, you would all like it if Vince McMahon sort of faded away, disappeared.

              Reality: We all pretty much feel this way considering the booking right now.

              Vince: Some of you would like it if I died.

              Reality: Foreshadowing CM Punk's Pipebomb

              Vince: Well let me say this, That's the only way I'll ever step down as Chairman of this organization.... IS THE DAY I DIE.

              Reality: Vince might be sticking to his words on this one.

                I think we've all known he'll step down when he dies/dies when he steps down.

                He's one of those people who lives to work. Retirement would be the thing to kill him.

                  Another classic JR/King commentary moment during a Godfather hardcore title match.

                  *Godfather gets hit with a stop sign*
                  King: If Godfathers Hos had a road sign, what do you think it would say? Yield?

                  JR: It sure would not be Do Not Enter.

                  Then, Godfathers Ho wins the hardcore title.
                  Lillian: Here is your winner and NEW Hardcore champion............one of Godfathers Hos?

                    Another gold line on AE Raw.
                    JR: And Albert, all 8 3/8ths of him.
                    King: WHAT?
                    JR: That's his head size.
                    King: O....I was wondering what you were measuring.

                    RTruths game show is a funny show to watch.

                    The scavenger hunt is the best part because the guys actually have to run around their own house to find stuff.

                    Truth was asking Maverick to find a bunch of stuff. One was "something you're proud of". Drake starts looking around for something, and Truth is like "you're wife is right there, but whatever....." lol.

                    Then 1 item was the 24/7 title and Drake is like "I DON'T HAVE IT! YOU TOOK IT FROM ME!"

                        ABA Taker is great, but sucks how they edited his original ABA theme. Such horribly fake crowd in the background as piped in "you're gonna pay" softly plays.

                          WWE Timeline is a new series they're doing where it chronicles various feuds over the year. The one right now is about Bryan vs Miz. Would love seeing this for so many great feuds. And whenever Orton vs Edge 3 happens, they need an episode happening for that feud (although I wouldn't be surprised if they have an episode for the feud, planning to air it before SS but obviously couldn't)

                          They're airing The Best of WWE right now, Daniel Bryan episode.

                          Sidenote about that, they're showing the WM30 matches. Obviously we all know about Banks,Bliss,Charlotte in his entrance, but still weird thinking about that. Greatest entrance cameos in WWE history?

                          Also, does HHH have the greatest WM opponent list in history? Even better than guys like Taker and HBK?

                            Wwe announces indy promotions coming to the network.

                            ICW, Evolve among others will be added.

                            Wonder if that will lead to the tiered pricing.

                                WWE randomly aired an episode of Smackdown Flashback (I actually like when they air full show, its diff than streaming an episode online since this one you can just channel flip during othe shows).

                                The episode was an August 2008 episode.

                                You got the great stuff like Edge and Takers build for their HIAC match.

                                But the show kicks off with a 6 DIVA Olympic themed gimmick match that lasted less time than their entrances. Next match was Edgeheads vs Shannon Moore and "everybody's favourite Asian redneck" Jimmy Wang Yang.

                                Also, later in the night is HHH vs Great Khali, in an Indian shattered glass arm wrestling contest?
