The transfer on this was so loving good--it was originally shot on film and then mastered in HD. I watched like half of it in one sitting and have regretted not watching it all ever since it got removed.

The reason it got taken down was because they put it up without getting any clearance from Bret Hart or something, right?

As I understand it, WWE owns rights to everything Stampede except for anything with Bret Hart, which Bret owns.

Well if it makes you guys feel better, (it made me enjoy the show a hell of a lot more) Rapaport only has like 4/5 lines in the whole episode. It’s not the most enlightening video, but it’s definitely interesting and more proof that Owens is one of the best today.

Just signed up for the first time. So far I'm not that impressed. Issues I have after my first day of use:

-No RAW/SD for 30 days loving sucks. Why offer the PPVs when I have 0 ability to watch the stories that led to the PPV matches. Can't it be a week or something?
-Every time I cast to my Chromecast or disconnect from Chromecast to continue watching on my PC it loses my spot or goes back to the start of whatever I was watching.
-The curated collections are nice, but the lack of decent filter/search functionality is pretty awful. I feel like you could do some really cool stuff to narrow down results to find interesting stuff to watch but it doesn't appear to have any of that.
-For some reason, I thought it had old Ring of Honor stuff, but I might have been confused with ECW so that's disappointing.

I believe they sent out a survey at one point asking subscribers if they would be interested in a tiered system which would include access to indies like ROH, but I don't think they actually ever spoke with ROH about it beyond testing the waters with the viewers.

The Raw/SD thing is explicitly so you'll watch them on USA, as a compromise so that Viacom will keep paying them for the shows.

I know that but if Hulu or whatever can come to an agreement to put shows up 24/48 hours after the airing of a show on a channel, surely The Network can too. Who's watching 3 week old RAW's on USA/DVR? I don't live in the US and can't watch SD/RAW without paying $80 a month for cable so it's just a bummer.

Side note, It's amazing how budget/unspecial mid-late 90's shows look. I can't believe WMX took place at MSG, I just watch Ramon/Michaels and the entrances looked they were filmed in a high school gym. Ditto for Canadian Stampede in '97.

I mean it's a fair criticism except if you don't have cable I'd be shocked if you didn't have Hulu in which case you're covered. The only difference is that the Hulu Raws are 90 minutes so you need to wait 30 days for the full shows (commercial free).

technically I only pay $35 a month for cable (youtube) but it also sort of doesn't work without internet which is like $60 a month for the package I have.

I guess the point is that even if you have a less expensive way to watch it you probably have other required costs.

What are you looking at?
Part of the problem with the 90-minute versions of the shows on Hulu is that they seem to cut things out randomly. I specifically remember the Raw after Wrestlemania XXX missing every single debut that happened that night.

EDIT: Including Paige’s debut and upset win over AJ Lee for the title.

But Vince ran off TJP from appearing on 205 Live so I regard him as a force for good on balance.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I've been watching a few of the Hulu versions lately and my big issue is they seem to always cut out some low card thing and I've always been more interested in that stuff than the main event stuff. I'd rather watch a Revival match than another Kane/Braun or Shield segment on a show loaded with them.

I get it, it just makes the show less interesting to me personally.

edit: Actually I lied. I don't exactly get why they cut the shows. I assume its some contract issue.

That's more or less what I assumed with "contract issues." Like I assume all the decisions are based on "everything but the TV product are shifting to streaming but the TV product needs to be protected because that contract is huge on their profits." Or something like that.
