Paid Members hallicks Posted March 23, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 23, 2014 Forgot to mention Big Show as Hulk Hogan as well. Brilliant!
EdgarTheSlouch Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I watched that the other day. Why was Debra announcing the first match? She was clearly off her tits on something. To quote/paraphrase Road Dogg : "You do some mighty fine mic work'
Hardy Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I have watched the first half of Starrcade 83 on the network things I noticed about it and network the picture quality is pretty good for that time period so the network have done a good job putting up a very watchable version of this a lot of the wrestlers the NWA (WCW) using around this pay per view with very old to look at and most in bad shape compared to todays wrestlers and lots of blood was used in the matches back then also you can see how Vince got hold of the few main stars they did have to launch wrestlemania and bring WWF to the mainstream also has anyone had any issues with watching the network using unblock US in the last few days it worked after a while after it did a WWE Network update but had issues loading first of all
Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 25, 2014 Moderators Posted March 25, 2014 They weren't in bad shape, persae, they looked like wrestlers. Rough, tough folk.
KingOfMetal Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 It was a different era. A flabby guy wouldn't have looked out of place in 80s wrestling at all
Hardy Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 of course different era different things not saying they were not good at wrestling or anything just the differences between then and now such as the amount of blood at a PPV back then surprised me I enjoyed growing up with the WWF old school wrestling with characters like Ultimate Warrior Jake the Snake Demolition etc. and liked it when we had the Attitude era Wrestling is always changing which can be a good thing such as the old WCW vs WWF(E) wars
KingOfMetal Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 The next edition of Beyond The Ring airing at the weekend is the documentary portion of Triple H: Thy Kingdom Come
Paid Members Supremo Posted March 26, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 26, 2014 This weeks Countdown show lists the top ten blunders. It's the usual stuff, Shockmaster, etc. but still really fun to watch.
KingOfMetal Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Watched that this morning. Its been my favourite of the countdown shows so far
Pier Six Brawler Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Starrcade '83 is interesting because it's from the pre-Dusty Rhodes era of JCP. It's really a Mid-Atlantic PPV, not like the later big events and PPVs which were national Expansion "NWA" shows.
The Cum Doctor Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Have to repeat the love for the Biggest Blunders show. Absolutely terrific. The Sid section had me in tears of laughter.
Paid Members JNLister Posted March 26, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 26, 2014 Very enjoyable show, though I particularly enjoyed when they were clearly showing stuff from the second version of IYH: Beware of Dog (when they redid the matches) but turned the brightness down and pretended it was the original matches happening in the dark.
Paid Members JNLister Posted March 26, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 26, 2014 Couple of updates for Mania. There'll be live "WrestleMania Today" shows on the network next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, coming from the Axxess event. There'll also be a live edition of the Legends of Wrestling roundtable show. Also, both hours of the pre-game show will be on the Network now (originally the 1st hour was to be Youtube etc only). Very smart move IMO as it further stretches out the window over which people log on, reducing the number of people trying to start a connection at any one time.
KingOfMetal Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Good move, but that's going to hell of a long night if you watch the full thing. I might give the main a try live but if there's issues I don't have a problem waiting till the next day. Any update on when the newer RAW are to be added. I only ask because I noticed they are still not on there and it has now passed the 30 days. Unless they're going to add RAW, Smackdown and Elimination Chamber all at the same time in one go
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted March 27, 2014 Paid Members Posted March 27, 2014 Really enjoyed the recent Countdown show on blunders. Most of the stuff you've seen a thousand times before, but the production people did a good job mixing in the talking heads to liven things up a little. I forgot how awful and funny the no. 1 pick was.
