I got 50 minutes of Bunkhouse Stampede 88 on my roku last night, then when I paused it and started again the error message came up. Bobby Eaton was looking chubby as gently caress.

I see no reason why they wouldn't keep stuff up for good once it's aired. Even if they upload 5 old raws a week it would still take them 4 years to finish it out. Not to mention a couple Nitros, Saturday Nights and Smackdowns.

Holy poo poo I'm watching Great American Bash 88 and it's amazing. It is headlined by Funk v Flair for the title(I think the blowoff match to Funk piledriving Flair on a table after judging a title match), but it starts off with a two ring battle royal with over-the-top elimination, eliminated wrestlers have to go into the second ring, and if they are eliminated from that ring they are eliminated for good. Then the last man in the first ring and the last man in the second ring have a normal wrestling match.

And there's also a WarGames match on the card too :psyduck:

It's got a great Freebirds promo too.

If the main event cards are good and pre promoted enough they should get decent viewership. Advertise Bryan/Cesaro and Cena/Reigns and you got a few hundred thousand viewers and some buzz for the next weeks show and you can get 2 or 3 real good matches going for that one and test out the system again.

Also, don't know where else to put this, but watching old Hardcore TVs has made me love Public Enemy. The matches aren't terrible. But the promos are great. Glad they got paid in wcw and wwe and all. But I really wish they'd stayed in ecw. Where they shined.

If there's a problem using ecw on tnn I'm sure they can get the rights to it rather cheaply seeing how Viacom hasn't used that network in a decade. And if Viacom buys the rights to wwe I'm sure it won't be an issue. Or it may have been taken care of last time around.

So what's the difference between Clash of Champions and a regular WCW PPV?

Back when there were only 4-5 ppvs a year Clash was a "big match" atmosphere that pushed the big feuds along a few weeks before the ppvs. But yeah, it was WCW's answer to SNME but held mid week. It died off when Thunder came along.

Speaking of Clash, would doing a Clash type show exclusive to the network a couple times a year work for the network? With all this hope for War Games, but needing 2 rings to pull it off and tickets already being sold for a period into the summer. Could WWE sellout a War Games show with 6-8 weeks of ticket sales. Do a 2 ring show in say July, Do a Battle Bowl for a title shot at Summer Slam, toss in a couple undercard matches, say IC or US title match. Get something for Cena to do that night if he's not in the Battle Bowl. End it with Bryan/Shield vs Kane/Evolution. If that wouldn't get them a few dozen thousand stragglers to sign up I don't know what would. And they'd have to re-up by Wrestlemania.

Oh yeah, Clashes were pointless once Thunder came along and not that important once they went to 12 ppvs a year. Back when it was Saturday Night and I guess Main Event was an important show at one point. I only remember it being Sunday night jobbers in the mid 90's. King of the Ring could be a cool network exclusive too that wouldn't need a ton of build but 8 of the top 12 guys wrestling 7 matches in one night would definitely attract some subs. Probably a good one for a couple weeks in after the first 6 months is up.

The WCW TV title was barely ever defended except when they remembered it existed. One of those times Prince Iaukea had it. Dark times.

TV title ruled during the NWO era because it was the only heavyweight title they didn't go for. It was by far the most interesting title for 2 or 3 years. Iaukea being the champ sucked but when booker, benoit, Jericho, a couple other cruiserweights carrying it, it was amazing. I really wish the US title would be more like that. Do a good feud with guys that can wrestle for a couple months, maybe it changes hands. Move on to the next guy. It'd be great for the 1-2 years on tv guys to elevate them.

Also, do a War Games exclusive to the network in like september or october, after the WM30 people sign up expires, but that 6 months expires before WM31.

I love the network and can't wait until they add more WCW and Hardcore TV. I'm totally cool with rolling out content slowly because they have thousands and thousands of content. I hope like a year from now they have docs of wrestlers that aren't "dvd ready". Ya know, Rick Rude, DiBiase, Harley Race.

Right now I think we're just feeling spoiled by what we know other services do and what we know WWE can do with their the library. It's only 3 months old. As long as when they add old Saturday Nights it's at 6:05 I'm fine with the progress and future.

Bread basket is embedded into my vocabulary that I naturally say it when referring to the stomach and nobody understands what I'm talking about. I grew up thinking that was just a normal, every day alternative name for the stomach. I guess I was wrong.

I use bread basket all the time. Also if someone gets hit in the mouth it's "right in the mush". But I don't remember if that's wrestling related.

I was trying to think of notable WCW debuts they left off the list, and I can't think of one... most of them were somebody just showing up and putting on an nWo shirt. Maybe Lex Lugar could have worked, but

Gotta say, flair showing up with the title on WWF tv should have been on there. You honestly can't make a bigger debut then that.

This week's Countdown is another example of great concept ruined by the highly rehearsed talking heads. I can't remember what she said, but Summer Rae said something in the most robotic way when introducing one. Brodus is pretty bad at that as well, especially in WM Rewind.

I feel like I've seen that - maybe as a one-off episode of Raw or SD in the 90's or something like that. It'd be a great idea for those Wrestlemania Rewind specials where they could give you a lot of context as the match goes on.

It was a dvd of wrestlemania 3 that came out a few years back. Gonna guess for the 20th anniversary

Countdown seems like it would be a great show for NBCSN. Especially during the summer when they have nothing at all to show. It'd be great for casuals to stop on flipping channels at like midnight, I could see people getting into it watching at a bar on Tuesday night (think restaurant workers that just sit there and drink beer with their heads slumped down). Keep people's attention after hockey ends at 11.

How long would it take to film a 25 minute episode of Are You Serious? 2 hours at most? They could do a months worth of episodes in 1 day.

My favorite matches could show 2-4 matches in an hour. My greatest matches could be with the ones the wrestlers are involved in. They could do Wrestlemania Rewind for every big 4 PPV and throw in some WCW and ECW matches. They could do Anatomy of an Angle where they highlight a legendary feud for an hour, show interviews, clips of matches and end it with the blowoff match. Make it a 2 parter for Sting vs NWO and Raven vs Dreamer or Dusty vs 4 Horsemen.

I'm sure it's too late now, but a 15-30 minute preshow panel for the SNME and Clashes would have been great. Show some clips so were not just watching the shows and dependent on the announcers telling the back story of the matches or feuds.
