I'm weirdly annoyed that this isn't on the Network anywhere. Is there a legal reason? I'm not saying I wish it was exclusively on the network, I just want it listed in the "vault" with no explanation.

The reason is this is something a bunch of wrestlers did for fun, and it shows.

If it were on the network, someone would have to attempt to make Vince understand it, and that would be absolutely impossible.

Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

I think you're giving too much credit to him being able to see that it's MAKING FUN OF southern wrestling, and not, in fact, glorifying it at the expense of his beautiful brand.

The Sea Creature reveal was astounding, like the Teijo Khan video.

As I pointed out in another thread, the SEA CREATURE reveal was exactly how Kevin Sullivan brought The Purple Haze into Florida, and how Synn brought in Leviathan (Batista) in OVW.

Also it's technically an ad for KFC so they probably just want it on YouTube, they're might be some agreement to keep it only there

I hope we never see matches, just the before and after of matches. Guys come to the ring, the video jumps (or the match is taped over), and we come back to the aftermath of the match.

Because as sponsored content for KFC (which is clearly what it is being greenlit as) they need it to be as accessible as possible. Thus the YouTube channel. As for why it wouldn't also be put on the network? I guess so that they can have easy numbers to give to KFC in terms of return or the deal with KFC is only for the YouTube broadcast.

This was great. 9/10. Only loses a point because I got douche chills whenever Cena would channel Ron Burgundy. He sounded so much like the old lovely AWA announcers that it would have been way funnier had be just played it straight. They need to do more of these.

One of the best managers of the early eighties, unfortunately his life caught up with him and SRW put him in the booth on color where he slowly deteriorated to where he was in the tapes.

Oh, you meant who was playing him, Fandango, I think.

He was very good when he wasn't trying to ruin it by going over the top. The funniest parts where when they played it straight. Like the guy in the thread said earlier, dial it back about 5% and I could watch this every week.

Oh yeah I definitely laughed out loud at them a few times I'm just saying they weren't as funny as they are completely dead on in their impersonations of 0 charisma hosses that just faked confidence in their promos.
