I liked the new Ride Along (the callback to the first episode was great) but man the next one looks awesome.

I watched the JBL interview with Jimmy Hart and Jimmy seems like the nicest most gracious guy there is. Everything is a blessing and everyone is amazing in his eyes.

I'm going to be laid up after surgery for a couple of weeks, so I want to binge something from the Vault on the Network. Any recommendations for older stuff that spans lots of episodes? I'm literally happy to watch a whole year of Mid South or something, as long as I don't have to move.

WWE offering me three free months of access? Desperate, or just confident that I'll forget to cancel my subscription again... either way, clicky clicky.

I like that when they were listing all the great PPVs I'd get to see for free in the coming months, they did not list "Great Balls of Fire" among them.

So hey is anybody else having this issue? When you open something on the Network, there's these checkpoints at the start and finish of each match - they're great and can make navigating a 3 hour PPV really easy. Problem is, recently, they've stopped displaying the text for me. You can kinda still guess what the match is from looking at the guys in the thumbnail, but that doesn't always work. Is this happening to anybody else?

People got lovely about the text spoiling matches so I assume they just turned off all the text. It's entirely possible they're fixing the spoilers and will put it back up once that's done.

On some shows they had already transitioned into the bookmarks reading something like "Finish of match between X and Y" so maybe they're taking the text down until they're finished, or they broke something while updating it.

Yeah, every new show it says "finish of [match]", but on older ones it just straight up told you the finish. I mean, it never particularly bothered me, because it was pretty much only on really old stuff that the text spoiled the finish.

During interviews about the MSG incident and the kliq, the interviews with and about HHH always make this big deal about him being punished. Like he was going to eat a lot of poo poo and just be buried to the center of the earth. Hunter gets this sad look on his face and says he was demoralized and really really punished. But the reality is he jobbed for about 4 months and then had the IC title for the rest of the year and won at WM and then won KOTR. Just kind of funny how everyone treats it like they didn't know if he could handle such a terrible burial

The guys in the back from that era are still the type that were convinced crowds actually bought kayfabe. Within like a year or so that was all over even as an on-screen thing.

Ahmed "Puffy Muscles" Johnson Edit: I'd never read Ahmed Johnson's Wikipedia page until now. It has this excellent nugget "[Johnson] joined the United States Army, but was later discharged due to striking his captain over viewing his orders as "kind of cowardly."

Shotgun had like 2 months of completely insane episodes before it just became the same as every other C show WWE has ever made. Ive never fully understood why WWF/E so consistently has had such a short attention span for it's C shows like that. What makes you come up with a wacky idea, go through all the time and effort to make it happen, and then just lose interest a few weeks later?oldpainless posted:During interviews about the MSG incident and the kliq, the interviews with and about HHH always make this big deal about him being punished.

Just kind of funny how everyone treats it like they didn't know if he could handle such a terrible burial In defense of HHH (and it hurts to type that) my memory of it is that he really was booked like poo poo and going nowhere until he just ended up in DX as the sidekick and it made his career. I mean, it's 90s WWF so there's a thin line between being buried and having a marquee feud over pig slop. But my memory if HHH becoming HBK's buddy was "Really? Him?" And the MSG incident was a dumb thing to get heat for and for vets to still be hurt about since historically it's such a perfect highlight of WWF clinging to kayfabe and resisting the changing world before they finally were saved by embracing it with stuff like DX.

With Shotgun it was costing too much to produce the show, IIRC, so they just turned it into a cheaply made syndie. Don't forget, when they were trying out Shotgun as an experiment they were getting their rear end whooped every week in the ratings by Nitro, plus Vince was sweating Bret's mammoth contract.

It's similar to when Heat was on MTV and they started out treating it as similar to Smackdown, but eventually it was a C+ show that was pretty much Main Event but occasionally there'd be an angle with the lowest of the midcard. (Notably, I believe Heat is where Lita debuted as Essa Rios' valet.) They have the idea that a new show/new network means they'll get tons of eyes on the show (or they need to deliver a certain amount of eyeballs to make the network not drop the show right away) but then they realise most of the Raw and PPV audience isn't watching it, so running angles and matches with the main eventers doesn't make sense because no-one sees them and your top guys might get hurt. Hence basic house-show level matches with Thrasher and Crash Holly

Yeah, I get Shotgun in a vacuum. But then like I remember when Heat started it was like this magazine show with featured matches you'd actually care about and then it just became a random jobber show. And there was the ECW thing where it started in ECW venues and trying to do something unique and then just became a generic C show. There's reasons for all of them. But its the pattern that strikes me as funny.

you have to remember that until like 2000, WWE's undercard was loving terrible. RAW 1997 is great because you have Foley, Austin, and Hart, but take them away and you have next to nothing. That's really why Shotgun Saturday Night was bad.

Hell, When I was watching through 98-99 Raws a bunch of important poo poo happened (or seemed to happen) on Heat, including (I think) the debuts of Gangrel and the APA.
