Obviously they spent the money to create a polished (for the time) product, but I don't recall MSG shows being on tv when I was a kid.

Cromulent posted:They were MSG house shows, and they were shown on the MSG Network, which is a channel in the NY/east coast area (they have more content now, but at the time it was pretty much just NY sports team games and wasn't a very big channel). There was very little consistency when they were air, I'd sometimes come across them just flipping through the channels on a Saturday afternoon. I think they usually were filmed monthly, because the WWF used to play MSG every month.

5 Star Match (1986) vs. The Fantastics at the Crockett Cup Tournament on 19 April Huh, that's surprising. They went on to lose worst tag-team by Meltzer not many years afterwards twice.

The neatness of seeing Taz on a WWE roundtable show in 2012 is balanced out by Ric Flair making fun of Shane Douglas working at Wal-Mart.

I love how between that and the promo he cut on Douglas before their WCW match, you can tell Flair heard everything he said about him and just went "gently caress you forever, you never-was."

My favorite is the ginger teenager right in the middle of the first row -- he doesn't stand up a lot but his faces during the kick-outs are the best. You can see them in rapid-reaction during the post match recap.

So I tried the Xbox 360 app since it works now, and it was very choppy. I switch back to my Apple TV, and it's all good. And I wasn't playing both streams at the same time.

This was never going to happen, the TV money they get from Raw and Smackdown is basically what's propping this thing up. The Hulu versions will be on the Network 30 days after they air.

We just ditched the tv portion of our cable bill; I was the only one who ever watched anything, and even then, it was mainly Raw and Smackdown. Guess I'll just stick to the streams then.

Is it just me, or is the streaming quality pretty poo poo on the Xbox 360? I'm watching it now and the streaming quality quickly drops to utter poo poo territory, to the point I can't even read the #wwebackstagepass hashtag.

Jericho mocking the poo poo out of Vince's stunner selling is great  E: for some reason though I get the stream pausing every few minutes in fullscreen mode, or the monitor going into sleep mode after a similar time when in not-fullscreen.
