Hey, just wanted to chime in and say that WCW Souled Out '97 has a Miss NWO Beauty Contest and a live band. It's just as terrible and hilarious as I remember it. Well worth $10 a month so far.

I'm really glad I watched that with the Synctube crew so I knew I wasn't hallucinating it. Such a terrible waste of time, on a PPV or otherwise.

I finished watching Uncensored 96 and wish I hadn't, that Doomsday Cage match (-*** from Meltzer) was god awful. I'm having some fun watching PPVs then going into the Observer archives and reading Dave's report on the show.

His match against Savage at Tuesday in Texas is one of my favorites. I haven't seen it in forever so I don't remember how the match itself was, but the heat was crazy

It also features two of the best promos I've heard, Jake's prematch and Savage's postmatch.

Yea every so often even Cole or JBL do some really good commentary and all. They know how to do it, they just have a monkey in their ear yelling "GODDAMNIT REMIND THEM OF THE NETWORK".

Yeah, the Network pushing was pretty bad all throughout this week's RAW. But I did like the go between Cole and JBL when they were showing off the searching.

I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I just watched One Night Stand 2006 and the crowd chants and signs were all uncensored, along with plenty of middle fingers. The only things bleeped were Angle cussing out Orton and Ball Mahoney screaming when fell out of the ring.

Aw a shame that they edited some of the chants. I was watching Royal Rumble 93 and there was some real weird editing in it, like they'd cut out anytime anyone completely said World Wrestling federation either with a beep or a skip in the video, but then they'd show the logo and wouldn't bleep WWF

Uncensored bleeped out the F when one of the announcers mentioned Madusa dropping the WWF Women's Championship in a bin on Nitro. As people have said it's probably the Classics on Demand shows they had edited. We might see non-edited masters eventually trickle in.

It's weird that they'd just upload the edited versions when they just had that blanket deal saying they can say WWF all they want in archive footage. Maybe it goes back to the "we didn't know what people would actually want to watch" thing.

Some manner of music rights fuckery? I would have assumed that Keep Rollin Rollin Rollin would have been licensed well enough to use, but I guess I could be wrong. Maybe they only got rights to the live performance*

Christ, I forgot how absolutely awful SummerSlam '88 was. The only highlight was the Warrior running out and pinning Honky Tonk in what, two minutes?

Summary of Superstar Billy Graham's commentary: "And they want it, brother! The British Bulldogs want it bad and they want to hurt these guys! Davey Boy's got the power, look at that body!" Two minutes later: "Yeah, Monsoon! The difference is that these guys want it bad! And they're out to hurt these other guys! Check out this guy's physique, MONSOON, he's got the power!"

It's music rights because Rolin' is pretty drat loud during that whole period. But it's probably also a victim of Classics on Demand editing because Insurrextion 2001 has that music on the Network.

So I'm inviting a friend over for NXT Arrival tomorrow night at 8 and we're potentially going to pick up food at 8ish when it starts. Not sure if anyone would know at this point, but would there be a "Play from beginning" or maybe a "pause" button during PPV's like these or will I have to catch it live in order to watch it in full? I'm assuming no, not for live events, but I just want to make sure.

Oh snap you're right. I just got done watching 18th and then welp it only goes back to the 5th. Now I'm going to be sad when I get there.

I do wish they had more of that. And Raws and Smackdowns. And the WWE ECW.

Edit: I love the names of the Smackdown shows though. "Goatface Killah", "The Beard Rebounds", "On the Rhodes Again", "Wyatt Family Matters".
