Expect me to have an austism level meltdown if they use the VHS version of the PPVs and not the original feeds. Or, even worse, the loving 24/7 edits. Kinda bummed their not offering on the AppleTV at launch but between the 360 and the Roku. They also dodged a bullet by this not being on a PPV: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xtsyyn_chris-candido-vs-jamie-dundee-ecw-5-14-98_sport

Call Me Charlie posted:I thought it was, only that they couldn't say anything besides iOS devices in the advertising? Its different from the iOS stuff(you only get whatever apps Apple packages in the updates) and I can't see Apple running out an update just to deploy the WWE Network. I'm gonna replace it anyway because the thing is acting like a turd everytime I try to stream my NJPW iPPVs.

Dead Snoopy posted:I'm wondering how royalties work with the past talent. You arguably have scripted drama segments in rotated reruns. I imagine that's covered in the Legends contracts. But from the sounds of it, the guys that aren't under legends contracts are gonna get hosed.

MassRafTer posted:Directv was open to carrying the premium version of the network. Why should cable companies not being thrilled about WWE's TV network idea (which would violate their PPV agreements as well) be mentioned in this release? Just because they didn't sign off on one of Vince's hair brained schemes doesn't mean they have to be cool with him doing something that harms their business and breaks agreements. I really hope this was one of those business meetings where things turned into VINCENT KENNEDY MCMAHON DAMMIT situations. I don't know much about the cable/dish infrastructure but I doubt the money that changes hands totally goes towards maintenance and expansion.

Pariah Rex posted:I'll be damned, I didn't even think about it. Is that guy paid to be there and act like that or something? Partially, he's a megadork trustfunded with his deceased wife's life insurance money. I'm pretty sure WWE makes sure he gets choice seating and such. Tho I did hear unconfirmed stuff about getting thrown out of an arena recently.

Great White Hope posted:Regal had lots of good matches with Ultimo Dragon, Rey Mysterio, and Finlay, but Regal was in that spot in the company where you didn't exactly have 15 minutes to work, if I recall. Regal beating the absolute gently caress out of Prince Iueka(sp?) is still one of my faves. 10 minutes of Prince making frustrated faces and Regal stomping all over him.

epitasis posted:Watched part of Bash at the Beach '95 last night for some reason. Notable for Mean Gene calling it "the biggest crowd to ever watch a WCW event live!" because they seemingly counted every person anywhere on the beach as an attendee. This was the one where they had Baywatch cameras on the apron. IIRC Paul Orndorff had clearly had enough of this poo poo and semi-retired shortly thereafter.

sleepingbuddha posted:Yeah, he mentions this in his latest documentary. gently caress Vince for refusing to provide healthcare for people that constantly get injured doing their drat job. Unfortunately, Obamacare doesn't do anything to fix this particular case of unrestrained greed. Its probably cheaper for WWE to pay for medical care outright. Which is what they do in most cases, IIRC.

Luigi Thirty posted:I put on some random ECW Hardcore TV episode and what's the first thing I see? A match where Sandman beats Tommy Cairo over the head with a metal table four or five times, loses anyway, beats him over the head with his Singapore cane for like five minutes after the march, then cuts a promo standing next to someone I don't recognize. Of course it's Nancy Sullivan talking about how she's going to kill Tommy Cairo. The context of Woman with Sandman is amazing. I think they kayfaybe explained that Kevin Sullivan dumped her there so he could go back to WCW.

Giedroyc posted:Re-watching WCW 94-96 does make me wonder why people like Harlem Heat (they're loving terrible!) and dislike Mark Mero, since he's the most consistent performer they have in 1995. Mero, got to work with Pillman, Regal and a bunch of other good dudes. Heat got to work with The Nasty Boys, Public Enemy and The Outsiders. I love Public Enemy but they're never gonna make a team look good. Including themselves.

flashy_mcflash posted:Heenan kind of went off-script with the 'whose side is he on' stuff and you can see Schiavone actively trying to squash it to maintain the surprise. It's funny though because Heenan *would* have that reaction since he's never trusted Hogan in any of their interactions prior to that, so it makes perfect sense that he'd doubt his allegiances. if anything, it made the turn more believable, because Brain absolutely loses his poo poo when Hogan drops the leg.
