Wonder if WWE will catch that and edit it out

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

The edits are very inconsistent and somewhat random IMO. I watched some WCW PPV last night and a fan's sign had WWF blurred out. Some old WWF programming will have some WWF stuff edited out and some not in the same event.

I'm not sure if any of the WCW PPVs are the original PPV broadcast version, they all seem like the home video versions.

No Mercy 2004. The first match of Bald Big Show. Man, 10 years ago.

He was a lot more intimidating back then.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

I was a big WWF fan in the 80's and early 90's, but have dipped in now and again over the years. I've not watched the older ppv's for a while and though they might not hold up compared to the modern era. Boy was I wrong!

Watched WM3 today and had a real trip down memory lane. Gorilla, Jesse, the Brain and mean Gene are still great to watch, not to mention hilarious. I admit that it's part nostalgia, but they put Cole, King and JBL to absolute shame.

Even with what's of there now, they've got my $60. Since Thursday night the streaming has been flawless for me on Apple TV. An amazing amount of content for the money.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Here's a list from another site (botchmania.com) that I found:

• WWE’s 1997 UK PPV (One Night Only) is the edited home video version that WWE released towards the end of ’97 and cut down to 2 hours. It omits 3 matches, including the Bret Hart vs. Undertaker match that WWE mentions in the description underneath the video player. This is very strange because in 2012, the full 3-hour show was aired on the Classics On Demand channel. WWE Network live chat was no help at all when I informed them about One Night Only.
• New Jack’s matches on ECW PPVs have been edited out (with the lone exception of his bout with Mustafa at Living Dangerously 1999). His return to ECW at Heat Wave 1999 (running in and attacking the Dudleys) has also been removed. His run-ins into other wrestlers’ matches on other ECW PPVs are still intact.
• The Network’s airings of The Big Event 1986, King of the Ring 1993-1997, SummerSlam 1995-1997, and several In Your Houses are all taken from the Coliseum Video releases rather than the live versions.
• WCW Bash at the Beach 1996 is WCW’s home video release that omits footage of a fan run-in after Hulk Hogan’s heel turn. Whenever WWE has put that match on a WWE Home Video release, the fan run-in has been included, so they are in possession of the live PPV version.
• WCW Halloween Havoc 1990 is the Turner Home Entertainment home video release that was reduced from 3 hours to 2.
• Most of the WCW theme music that Jimmy Hart wrote is included on the WCW PPVs(Wolfpac, 3 Count, Disco Inferno). However, some of Hart’s other WCW music has been edited out and replaced (DDP’s “Self High Five” theme, Shane Douglas’s 2000-01 theme). This makes very little sense because WWE did not do this to any of Hart’s WCW music when WCW footage aired on Classics On Demand.
• On SummerSlam 1991, the song “Together” (written by Jim Johnston and Jimmy Hart) during the Randy Savage and Elizabeth video before their wedding has been replaced by different music. Basically, WWE dubbed over one of their own, in-house songs.
• Several shows still have “WWF” references edited out even though that was supposed to be a non-issue after 2012.
• My own note, sent in by Jesse Ojala: Everything is region-blocked now (meaning only USA can access it unless you’re using a proxy network like Unblock US) apart from WCW Uncensored 1995. It’s absolutely awful (aside from the Sting vs. Big Bubba match) but you wouldn’t be on this site if you liked a bit of crap now and again.

Wife was watching TV so for the first time I used my iPhone to stream The Network and had no issues. Just as smooth as streaming on PS4. Thoroughly impressed with The Network so far.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Anyone else watch November to Remember 1997 and feel like the main event was way too long and they didn't know what else to do?

Also, the one ref who counts ungodly fast sucks. Lol

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Meh, it sucks that they're kind of half assing it with some of the stuff by throwing in the Turner releases which were notorious for editing things down to 2 hrs. In fact WCW used to put their home video releases on the cheapest videos.

Oh and pardon my ignorance but why would they edit out New Jack on the ECW stuff?

Other than these niggling issues this network is going to own me once it comes to Canada.

I think a lot of stuff will get better as it goes. Also after the week trial is over things will only get better.

New Jack sucked, and attempted to murder how many people? I know, Chris Benoit DID, but he could wrestle. New Jack's matches were trash.

He also had his music blaring through the whole match usually. That may be why they cut his stuff out.
