Chewy Bitems posted:Actually I think the reason that WWE won't release details of what's being watched on the Network will be because the most watched stuff will be the PPVs with nudity if they're uncensored. So many people watching that clip of Regal's penis.

Personally, I want to see the entire run of Prime Time Wrestling. Nothing but Bobby Heenan segments and random midcard matches as far as the eyes can see.

Then he ended up being one of the last guys to find out Benoit was dead. That's gotta be awkward as hell. Chavo only found out that Benoit was dead during that conversation on Talk is Jericho.

For a site I write at, my editor asked a bunch of us to write a list of PPVs we can't wait to watch once we get the Network. I was taken aback once I realized how many of them I chose were based on, "This is supposed to be terrible. I need to see it." I never did get to see December to Dismember.

Spikeguy posted:The censoring on ECW is definitely not complete. They've caught most of the f bombs, but Balls Mahoney most definitely said loving very loud and clear during his promo against the Dudleys on Heat Wave '99. They also didn't censor Francine's ladybits from the end of Guilty as Charged '99. ...has anyone checked the status of Willaim Regal's wang shot?

Deadpool posted:I'm loving these old MSG shows. The newest one has Hogan vs Flair with Vince and Bobby Heenan on commentary. So great. 1991 was when I started watching wrestling and during that year I went to two MSG house shows. I can't wait for the Network to put those up because it's going to be nostalgic as hell for me. One had a main event of Hulk Hogan vs. Sgt. Slaughter in a Desert Storm Match, which is a no-DQ match where Hogan got to wear fatigues and a gas mask. The other show had Ultimate Warrior vs. Undertaker in a Bodybag Match, coming a couple years before they realized that caskets are far cooler and more impressive-looking.

Unfortunately, my WWE Network on Xbox 360 has constantly just loaded up to the login screen and won't let me do anything. It's just frozen where the only button that works is the one that sends me back to the dashboard. The update didn't fix it at all. That really sucks  Anyone have any suggestions?

Looks like my problem isn't so much the WWE Network app, but all apps in general. I tried downloading the YouTube one out of curiosity that one has the same problem. It gets to the first screen and none of the buttons on my controller work except for the Dashboard one.

Aardvark Barber posted:LIVE live? Like, this poo poo is happening right now live? What happened to then?! Anyway, finally got the 360 app to work. It appears that any and all Xbox 360 apps refuse to work with my Street Fighter IV arcade stick outside of the dashboard button. I dusted off my original controller (which I haven't used in over two years), smacked it on the side to make it work and now everything's good. This was after spending about an hour and a half with Xbox support, who kept dismissing me when I asked, "Do you think it might be the special controller?" and had me do connection-related poo poo. The 360 app is a good start, but it really needs a search function and a better fast-forward tool.

Phenix Rising posted:Called support today and it was an awful, awful time. I'm not sure what the woman's first language was, but it definitely wasn't English and it made it very hard to figure anything out. She just kept starting every sentence with "Okay, okay, okay, okay" before trying to explain things. Kind of want to hook her up with Luke Harper.

The latest MSG show they have on there (the Hogan vs. Flair one) has an interesting main event of the Rockers vs. the Nasty Boys. It's worth checking out just because it's right before the Barbershop situation. Heenan plays it up on commentary and the ending is something that's actually brought up on the Barbershop, so you can see the mounting tension.

Archbishop Karaoke posted:Wasn't there a continuation of Gang Warz in late 1997/early 1998 on a random Raw episode because the Rock-led Nation jumped 8-Ball backstage thinking it was Austin? That was during the night of the Rumble. One of the Harris Twins got attacked backstage with the attackers thinking it was Austin. That Harris didn't show during the match, with Lawler playing it up that the empty spot belonged to Austin until he finally showed up.

Considering the accident was caused by miscommunication (they had different ideas of what kind of Tombstone was going to happen), I figure Owen refused to find himself at fault as a coping mechanism. I know his wife's book claimed that Owen blamed Austin for screwing up the positioning. It's completely lovely behavior, but I can at least understand it. Is the Austin documentary worth checking out?

The Mega-Maniacs vs. Money Inc. match from Wrestlemania 9 was really before its time. Right before the match, Heenan says that according to Dibiase, it'll be "money in the bank." Then at the end of the match, Hogan gains ownership of a briefcase. At the end of the show, Yokozuna wins the WWF Championship and Hogan shows up to get a quick impromptu title win over an exhausted champ.

Willninho posted:The Desert Storm match on the June 1991 MSG show might be my favorite Hogan match of all time and also the most American match. I was watching some of that show earlier as it was the very first house show I've ever been to. A great highlight is Duggan vs. Mustafa where you can audibly hear Duggan calling him a son of a bitch right before reversing a clothesline. The Heenan commentary is wonderful on these old MSG shows. Especially here, where they play up one of my favorite late-80's/early-90's WWF trope of how all the managers act like they get along but secretly hate each other.

Maxwell Lord posted:Making my way through the 1993 Royal Rumble now. It was Bam Bam's first high-profile match since his return and Boss Man was on the way out. It was just an easy way to get Bam Bam over. Pretty sure a week or so later, Boss Man had a singles match against Doink, also new, who squirted ink in Boss Man's eyes to win the match and that was the kayfabe explanation for why Boss Man stopped wrestling.

epitasis posted:I got the impression from a cursory look at dumb reddit that the ECW stuff that had been edited a couple weeks ago is now unedited, anyone noticed anything like that? Yeah, on a site I write for, a friend of mine put up an article about all the current drawbacks to the Network such as the edits, the lack of content in places, everything Xbox 360, billing fuckups, etc. He mainly focused on wondering why all the New Jack matches were missing. This actually got the attention of WWE's vice president of marketing, who talked to him over the phone in order to smooth out some of the annoyances and play damage control. He noted that the New Jack stuff is because of the difficulties with having to change out entire matches featuring "Natural Born Killer" while keeping the commentary in there, but they are working on it and will be switching it in when they get to it. So the whole On Demand holdover thing appears to be an ongoing process.

MassRafTer posted:If WWE is stealing reality show ideas can they remake Joe Schmoe? That thing where they decided to poo poo on a likeable guy for their own amusement until realizing that it was a bad idea and changing the writing so that he was made to look good? They've been doing that since August. But for real, the, "Oh my God, we're monsters for doing this," part of Joe Schmoe made it all worth it.

STAC Goat posted:Or maybe (and this is just an idea, not an accusation) you just bought into this reality show more than the other reality shows because it revolves around wrestling which you obviously love so much and have so much passion for. If you're able to buy into the fake emotion of a WWE match then why not the fake emotion of a reality show? Sure, you may not buy into Desperate Housewives or The Real World but shows like Total Divas and Legends House hit you in your vulnerable spot. Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria: reality TV stars.

The American Dream posted:It's awful now. But when I was 13 it was loving hilarious. I think I was at the exact right age for dx. If I had been like 3 years older I would have thought it was lame and way over done. But you can't get enough dick and fart jokes at 13 I was 16 and I couldn't take DX. At least the HBK version. I didn't think they were all that funny or cool guys to root for. I just saw them as annoying heels who rarely ever got their comeuppance. Outside of a couple Foley matches, I have no memory of Triple H ever losing a high profile match. He seemed to win all the time thanks to Chyna's interference, especially in matches specifically designed to not have Chyna interfere.

I've come to realize that despite everything, Monday Night War is kind of perfect in its own way. Between WWE's weak ability to create stars for the long-term and their love for pushing nostalgia (because of their weak ability to create stars for the long-term), they've cannibalized the past so much that there's so little left on the plate. In the ring, their options are getting fewer and fewer by the day. Lesnar appears to be reaching the tail end of his in-ring career, Jericho's just a midcarder, RVD is over-the-hill, Sting is old and Rock is too good for this poo poo. In terms of media, they're simply running out of ideas. How many Steve Austin/DX/Foley/nWo/ECW retrospectives have we seen? How many are left that they can give us? They'll have to scrounge the past for stuff like Demolition and Jimmy Hart documentaries while hoping that Kurt Angle finally frees himself of TNA so they can do one for him because the last ten years of WWE hasn't given us much to work with. Monday Night War is like the climax to WWE's dependence on nostalgia. One more Austin documentary. One more Bret Hart documentary. After that, what's left for them to say?

NotQuiteQuentin posted:the best thing you could do is somehow animate the andre the giant graphic novel and that still sugarcoats his legacy. By "sugarcoats" do you mean in terms of his mythology or in terms of hiding the lovely parts of his personality? Because the way Box Brown incorporated his deadbeat dad status is what turned the book from pretty good to fantastic for me. It's a serious gut punch.

NotQuiteQuentin posted:I think I chose the wrong phrase; I meant to say a combination of both of what you mentioned. That's fair. I think it worked in the book because rather than have him drop the n-bomb various times to establish it, he simply tried to foolishly defend his racism the one time they show him doing it, which painted a better picture. Plus it makes more sense that they went the route they did, since the scene of Andre making up with Bad News Brown years later is taken verbatim from Brown's shoot interview and it makes for good closure.
