Pariah Rex posted:You mean you didn't like the Mysterio/Eddie Ladder match of 5,000 botches? I particularly like the part where Eddie gets pissed at Mysterio for yet another sloppy fall, yells something to the effect of "arrghgh what the gently caress was that" then begins to stiff him in their strikes. is that the "where the gently caress was vicki?" match?

Regarding Hayes on the roundtables, I've watched a few of those and haven't been super annoyed by him but he does exude "self important douche" vibes and does talk over people sometimes

as someone that can barely be bothered to watch either raw or smackdown in their entirety much less both I can't imagine how more than a handful of people have the time and energy to watch the main shows and all the preshows and post shows.I love the network but that stuff was by fare the least appealing content to me.

I really like the network (cheap PPVs, and plenty of poo poo to watch while bored or it's dead at work) and I'm currently able to not give a poo poo about $10 a month but as someone who just over a year ago literally had no income I absolutely understand being hesitant to commit future dollars to something you're not sure about.

yeah, they already produce something like 7 or 8 hours of new wrestling tv content a week if you count NXT and most of the main roster stuff is placeholder stuff until the next PPV maybe switches things up a bit. If anything they do too much new wrestling, or too little interesting new wrestling. I fast forward through matches on DVR that I know will be theoretically "good" but won't mean anything. A six man tag on Smackdown is basically "these guys all have matches at the next PPV so I dunno, they're fighting now just not one on one?"

flashy_mcflash posted:I feel the exact opposite. There are enough hours of wrestling already on free TV, much less the Network. They need to develop the characters and personalities on TV a lot more so I can invest in the good, long matches I'm already getting. Whether this is 'reality nonsense' or some other kind of feature on specific wrestlers, I'd prefer that. If its wrestler documentaries like the DVDs, or Countdown, or stuff like Legends Roundtables cool, I just have no interest in Total Divas or Legends House or anything of that particular ilk.

Xenoletum posted:Showing that much T&A on a network show at that hour in the late 90s was more of a big deal than before, so yeah, it makes sense to talk about it no matter how bad it was. They openly talk about heel and face turns and people not liking jobbing to the nWo.

Astro7x posted:I've said this before, but I would be totally happy with WWE Network as an actual cable channel that I can have on my TV without streaming, record shows to my DVR, and use the same fast forward/rewind functions of my DVR. I would even give up the On Demand stuff to have that, because I very rarely use it. I get what you're saying but I'd rather be able to pull up the latest PPV or a random match at work when its dead or on my tablet when I can't sleep. I'd watch far less if it were an actual cable channel.

King of the Ring is a neat concept yeah, but if you fill the tournament with guys that are over and people actually care about then you have to have all but one of them lose. The only real ways around that are to have a bunch of nobodies in the tournament or have a bunch of dumb non-finishes. Granted nobodies and non-finishes are kind of a problem in current WWE but we don't need something that helps encourage that by it's nature. Also the idea that KIng of the Ring started a push for a lot of guys is really overblown.

I get that they hyped a Vince segment and yeah its dumb and makes them look bad that they hyped something they didn't show, but I have never once given a gently caress and probably never will give a gently caress about a preshow or post show on the network.

DM Punk posted:I really wish they'd align shows on the live stream with when they originally air. Like, every Sunday should be a PPV from 8-11, run old RAW's during the live RAW timeslot, TNT should air on Tuesdays, etc. uh, why? if you're mentally ill enough that that actually matters just pull up some appropriate stuff on demand during those times

the 95 rumble is even worse, loaded with rear end-terrible gimmicks like Mantaur, Kwang, Duke the dumpster Droese, Doink, Well Dunn, Aldo MOntoya. And I think that was also the year with the super short intervals.

Maxwell Lord posted:So was it really the case that they'd take the chance on giving him a belt and instantly realize their mistake, or what? Giving Jannetty a couple brief shots with midcard belts probably isn't even in the top 20 of head scratching booking/personnel decisions WWF/WWE has made. And the IC title win was just meant to be a shocking thing to pop the crowd and make Raw seem unpredicatable. I doubt that even a clean Jannetty would've been champ for long.

flashy_mcflash posted:As an IC champ in the shallow roster of that time period? I think a clean Jannetty would've done fine. When I was a kid and the Rockers broke up, a lot of other kids were down with Marty and not just because he was the face in that feud. If by "fine" you mean holding the title until Shawn won it back at the next PPV then yeah

pathetic little tramp posted:That redirects to the borked splash page in most browsers for me too. In Opera, there's a button in the upper right that says 'watch', every other browser it instead says 'my account' and I can't figure out how to get to the network from there. network.wwe.com works fine for me in IE 11, firefox and chrome, it has My Account in the upper right but has Shows, Schedule, and Search to the left of that. Also the live stream just shows up below immediately. I'm on Windows 7. Clear out your browser cache and try again

Skinty McEdger posted:How I've heard it about Dean is that he doesn't like being himself in front of cameras or in interviews. By all accounts he's a pretty private person and he doesn't like doing stuff where he has that line into his own life crossed. Ride along is just a fun show in general, but you can see him slowly building up steam to being himself and feeling comfortable. Roman comes off really well in it as well, and its a real shame they can't tap into his genuine personality on the main product. roman was really dull in ride along, which explains a lot actually, if he's just a boring dude by default how's he gonna captivate a crowd of thousands of disillusioned rear end in a top hat nerds?
