I grew up watching Superstars every Saturday afternoon at 12 on Fox 5 in New York. I'd kill for them to throw some episodes of Superstars circa 1991-92 on there.

As someone who's used MLB At Bat for a couple of years, I can't say enough about the quality of their streaming. WWE will not have any issues on that front.

I'd also show the Foley match from Over The Edge. That's a terrific match. EDIT: That's in regards to the Austin question.

I'm watching the Zamboni Raw from 1998, with a huge smile on my face. God, this poo poo was nuts. I love Vince screaming at Austin "YOU GO TO JAIL, YOU SON OF A BITCH! YOU GO TO JAIL!".

Frilled Lizard posted:This coupled great with the recent Lillian Garcia podcast, where she said that she hated beer, but drank it anyways because Austin kept giving it to her and she didn't want to ruffle any feathers. Immediately followed by the first Stone Cold Stunner ever delivered on a podcast.

Abrasive Obelisk posted:Elaboration on HHH and Orton? Triple H was supposed to headline WrestleMania 23 against Cena in a rematch from the previous year, but tore his quad and was out for months. They slid HBK into the slot instead. Randy hosed up a hotel room on a European tour and got de-pushed for a while as a result, and possibly suspended. There was a famous image on the forums at the time of Randy RKOing a TV which was tremendous.

I was a huge Marc Mero Mark in 1996, because either he (or someone posting has him) regularly posted and responded to fans on the Wildman Marc Mero page on the WWF page of AOL.

I'm watching the WrestleMania Rewind on Hogan/Mr. T vs. Piper/Orndorff, and it's using a different narrator. The ones I'd watched had Gary Thorne, this one has a guy who sounds eerily like Pat Summerall.

KoldPT posted:Which of the new shows are any good? I remember folks talking about how the last episode of WWE Countdown was amazing, but are the others worth the money? WrestleMania Rewind has been good, but it's quality is linked more to the significance of the match they're focusing on. The Hogan/Andre one and the one on the WrestleMania I main event are very good. The one on John Cena's first 2 WrestleMania matches a bit less so. Legends of Wrestling isn't a new show per se, but is well worth checking out if you haven't seen them yet.

Bearnt! posted:On the Legends of Wrestling "In Through the Outdoors" episode they touch on WrestleMania IX. There is some what I found pretty interesting backstage footage of Vince and Shawn talking along with the production team and what all went into setting up the arena. Is this footage from another DVD? I can't imagine it was only released for this episode of Legends of Wrestling. I'm really interested in this type of stuff and would love to see more of it. There's a lot of WrestleMania IX backstage stuff on the True Story of WrestleMania DVD that was out a few years ago. What they shot it for to begin with, I have no idea.

JPrime posted:I know this has been asked but I can't find it...what are the shows to watch for some good Wyatt Family and/or Shield matches? Elimination Chamber 2014 for an awesome Wyatts vs. Shield match. Royal Rumble 2014 for an awesome Bray vs. Bryan match. Shield vs. Bryan, Kane and Ryback at TLC in 2012 is absolutely amazing. Really, almost any Shield PPV match is worth checking out.

I got home and turned the Network on via Apple TV about 10 minutes before the tag title match and the sound was really tinny. By the time the Real Americans were on the ramp, the sound fixed itself, and I had no further problems the entire night. I was fully prepared to break down and order the show on PPV, but the stream worked like a gem.

That's why pay-per-views were so awesome as a kid. It was a very rare chance to see guys who weren't total scrubs wrestling each other. Not that I'm advocating a return to that, but it was a different time.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:Yeah, as much as I hate WWE-isms, their production values have consistently increased over time and they long ago stopped looking like they were rolling film in your mom's basement. I agree that their production is superb, I just wish they had a little more variety in their set design. It's pretty much been a variation on the Titantron/metal ramp layout since like 97.

The_Rob posted:I was thinking about the white ropes the other day and how boring I find them. It's not like it's expensive to make the ropes different colors. It's literally just tape that the wrap around it. Why can't we have a little variety. I spent way too much time pondering why they colored the ropes the way they did. I liked Raw as red and SmackDown as blue, and PPVs would be black. I was irrationally angry when one of the WrestleManias had red ropes. I wish they'd color them now to fit the color scheme for the show. Like WrestleMania would've looked awesome with purple or gold ropes. MITB would be cool with green ropes.

While I'm happy about SNME, I'd absolutely kill for them to show episodes of Superstars and Challenge the way they roll out old Raw episodes. Those shows are what got me into wrestling.

Professor Funk posted:I didn't think about it like that, and you're probably right. I thought all of the superplexes were interesting because of the state of Austin's neck and back at that time. The more technical style was fun though, he put on several good-to-great matches during that run (I just watched Austin/Jericho/Benoit at KOTR 2001, for example). There was a match Stone Cold had with Benoit on an episode of SmackDown during that run that's one of my favorite matches ever, and well worth checking out if you haven't seen it. EDIT: This match has a spot where Benoit hits Austin with 10 (!) rolling germans. TEN. TL fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Jul 24, 2014 |

I was just watching No Mercy 2004 because I'm a glutton for punishment and I hate myself. I'm very impressed at how good the production team is at shooting the shows. I was at this show, and the building had maybe 8000 people in it, where a sold out show there will seat about 16,000. The way the show is shot, you'd think every seat in the building is full.

Seams posted:Up to Summerslam '97 and Chyna as the bodyguard of snobby aristocrat Hunter Hearst Helmsley is such a weird team. And when she slams the cage door on Foley's head - jesus, that looked nasty. Mick described that in his book as one of the most painful moments of his career. Chyna slammed the door on him as hard as she could, because that's the way she knew Mick wanted it.

After watching that ECW episode of Monday Night Wars I felt like watching the Awesome/Tazz match again but I can only find PPVs and the old ECW Hardcore TV from 93-95? No ECW on TNN. They've got a bunch of older episodes of Hardcore TV but I think it's been awhile since they uploaded any.
