CL Punk Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 21 hours ago, Liam O'Rourke said: It's funny - somebody on the creative team who was working very high up when the brand split was in its first year (2016) said to a friend of mine that Shane McMahon would constantly call them up, trying to pitch "the worst fucking ideas you've ever heard". Did he pitch that Wrestlemania match with Taker coz that was pretty fucking bad.
Paid Members Onyx2 Posted May 10, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 10, 2019 Bret Hart v Tom Magee will be on the network by Tuesday morning. Sounds like the rogue tape forced their hand. https://www.wwe.com/article/wwe-most-infamous-lost-match-has-been-found-bret-hart-tom-magee-wwe-network
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 10, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 10, 2019 I'm seriously seeing people arguing that WWE are in the wrong for doing this. And not the rogue convention showing footage they had filmed decades ago and charging a fee for it.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 10, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 10, 2019 Couldn't quite work out what's happening from Twitter. Guessing they were going to show the match at Starrcast and WWE have fucked up the plan by airing it? What a shame.
Paid Members Statto Posted May 10, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 10, 2019 They’re terrified of Conrad, is the gist of most of the comments I’ve seen. There’s an event planned for Starrcast with Bret & Magee discussing the match. But AFAIK, it was never announced that the match would actually be SHOWN during that, and I think the woman who found the copy flat out squashed the rumour she’d given/sold the tape to Conrad. It’s an odd concept regardless - Magee has presumably been booked to show up with the expectation of him talking about how dreadful he was? Edit: seems I’m out of date & the most recent stories suggest WWE had agreed to the match being shown at the event as something of a makeweight for pulling Angle & Taker from the convention.
Paid Members BigJag Posted May 11, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 11, 2019 WWE had the footage all along then? Or are they using this tape too?
simonworden Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 To be honest if you were going to Starrcast to watch an old bootleg match from the 80s alone you're probably a very strange individual. It's probably better that people actually watch the match on the network and the supposed documentary about it to have interest for that panel. I would say having some "pre-watching" will make it a more engaging experience.
WyattSheepMask Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 The Andre The Giant documentary that HBO put out last year has been added to the network. It’s tucked away in the ‘Original Specials’ with its release date as 10/4/2018, so doesn’t show up as the most recent addition
FailedPromoter Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 WCW Thunder episodes 98 to 117, covering February to June 2000, have been added to the Network today.
DavidB6937 Posted June 4, 2019 Posted June 4, 2019 The Ronda documentary is a prime example of why I'd ever struggle to cancel the Network, despite the current weekly product being pretty underwhelming. I am a sucker for backstage insight and I thought they did a great job of not only showing Ronda's passion and love for the business going back years, but also the respect she has for it and not wanting to just come in and take over without earning it. She seems very humble in some ways, although I suppose they wouldn't want to make a documentary of her being a complete dick, so let's take the edit for what it is. Anyway, in terms of seeing the magnitude of what she went through and her desire to lift the division up as a whole, it's a really enjoyable piece. And the majority of people backstage genuinely seemed to appreciate her and her work ethic and wanting to be a PART of it all - way beyond just her MMA buddies and Heyman etc.
WyattSheepMask Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Couldn’t seem to find anything concrete to confirm it, but there’s apparently a big chuck of Velocity getting uploaded to the network this weekend
kidzero Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 wwe network is showing the evovle 10th anniversary show live on the network in July..
The Dart Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 July 13th, and it's from the ECW Arena. Pretty big deal. Although it's an Evolve show, Adam Cole vs. Akira Tozawa and Drew Gulak vs. Matt Riddle are the two main matches.
TildeGuy~! Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 They’re streaming it up against AEW’s Fight For The Fallen event.
