The worst part is that is probably the worst match of the night. You can tell both of them were going through something.

After they show a "Best of Raw", is it added to the archives? I was a little disappointed in how many old Raw shows were available at launch but if they are slowly adding them it would make me happy.

Yeah, they're just slow to add them to sections. Searching let's you find them on PC at least.

Watching the Top Entrances Countdown show on demand and Bryan says he loves Goldust's entrance just because Marlena had a giant set of fake cans.

Then they cut to Brie saying "what?! what is happening?"

The Brie clip is out of context but kinda funny. Also pretty surprising from Bryan!

I want them to add a Netflix star rating system. It'd be great to be able to look at not only the most popular shows but the ones that are regarded as the best (and worst).

Agreed on the rating system.

The Legends of Wrestling show is great. It does seem like it was recorded years ago so I'm not sure how many episodes of it they have. I'd love for them to have an ongoing roundtable show with former wrestlers and maybe even mix in some current stars. Just a group of people from the industry telling old stories about what went on behind the scenes. Seems like it'd be relatively cheap to produce.

They were filmed a while ago, yeah. Looks like there are 28 of them.

It really is. Just watched the Renegade episode and you can really tell why JR was kind of teetering on the edge between employed and fired until WWE found an excuse to can him. Him and the rest of the group is so dead on about poo poo like wrestlers being a part of creative being a terrible idea, or how so few wrestlers stand up for themselves these days.

The one on bad gimmicks doesn't feature JR but does feature the panel making GBS threads all over Vince's dumb ideas for an hour.

They had it during NXT tonight. I imagine it'll be cut out on the schedule filler, but won't be surprised if it pops up during their first-run (or promoted) content; NXT, Rewind, Countdown, and these WM replays they're doing leading up to 30.

Yeah, they definitely still have it for their live stuff, but for the older Raw replays on VOD it's not there. I wasn't expecting them to cut out what had already been placed in the show.

As far as older Raws go, they're adding them after they play on the regular schedule, one new Raw each weekday. I'm willing to bet that when those catch up to September 1994, they'll start adding Nitros, too. At the current rate, this should be around the beginning of June, which lines up with the show they're going to have about the Monday Night Wars. Also, if they continue at the same rate, they'll hit 1997, i.e. the Attitude Era, right around September. Also known as the all-important six month re-subscription time.

Make me wonder at what point they won't need to use stills, because if you are watching a Network show that means you have access to the PPV.

It was quite possibly the most forced "shoot" I've ever seen in my life. Even in 2005 the whole WCW deal was kind of over and done with which made it even more ridiculous.

I always did like Mike Awesome as a wrestler. At least in ECW, he stood out as being slightly bigger than everyone else and unhinged enough to throw people around in horrible ways. Really not the kind of thing that would fly anywhere else besides ECW, but still.

Mike Awesome had just as good matches in Japan with Tanaka and Hayabusa (Some of his matches with Hayabusa were really drat good)

I think people from Japan are made out of rubber. Even Hayabusa who was paralyzed for "life" is now walking around with limited mobility again. And Masata Tanaka still wrestles pretty well, probably the best out of almost any other ECW alumni besides maybe Stevie Richards and Tajiri

In the UK they just showed the one-hour edit in NXT's usual slot that week. That's probably why the one hour edit exists at all, which means the people without the Network didn't see Paige vs Emma.

That's odd, because it was the match that had the most hype on the night, and certainly had the most vignettes leading up to it. Though, I guess that meant a lot of time could be freed up by cutting everything associated with it.
