Paid Members Slapnut Posted September 21, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 21, 2014 That sounds quite interesting, but there's no way I'm sitting through 4 showings of Night of Champions 2010 on the off chance they'll show a special on Kofi Kingston's favourite match.
AshC Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I heard that the Network is starting to air hidden 10 minute programming on various topics. Apparently they aired a short programme about the design and making of the WWE Championship title last night. Also these shorts aren't available in the on demand section. I believe this is to encourage people to watch the live feed on the Network. Think they've been doing that since the start, near enough. Figured it was to fill those ten minute gaps between PPVs, as the majority run around 2 hours 50 minutes long. Saw the belt one and one on Goldust that was very good. Occasionally they'll air a full angle in the slot, like Jake/Warrior from 1991.
Paid Members Statto Posted September 21, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 21, 2014 Didn't know there were as many as 25 shows of "Rock n Wrestling". I imagine the bloody brilliant theme song will have to change. It's basically an instrumental of the Bonnie Tyler song "Ravishing".. Rock 'n' Wrestling started airing in 1985. Bonnie Tyler didn't release that song until 1986. It was Hulk's first. Probably.

Old segments from Confidential, Before They Were Superstars etc. But maybe they're showing better stuff now, or more original stuff. Confidential and Before They Were Superstars should be on the On Demand anyway! If they want people the watch the live stream more, then they should show stuff on it that isn't in the library, but promote it being there!
WyattSheepMask Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Gave the ECW episode of The Monday Night War a try, but only lasted about 20 as it was seemingly just a condensed version of Rise & Fall of ECW. Following on from someone mentioning WCW Great American Bash 1989 in the Best Non-Wrestlemania PPVs thread and after hearing it's a good show, I gave it a try and it is a great watch. The opening battle royal is a bit messed up on the network as the version they have is incomplete due to "technical difficulties with the original production"
Paid Members Slapnut Posted September 24, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 24, 2014 CM Punk's announcement on the WWE 2K15 roster reveal is hilarious. Everybody from Brock Lesnar to Fandango gets the superstar treatment with a "MY MAIN MAN BROCK LESNAR WOWWW!!!!" with the crowd cheering in the background. Suddenly, the crowd noise completely cuts out and Renee says "CM Punk" without any enthusiasm whatsoever. Brilliant.
Paid Members JNLister Posted September 28, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 28, 2014 Next edition of Monday Night War will be on Austin. That'll make it eight episodes, of which one and a half have covered WCW.
Merzbow Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 The original uncut roster reveal has Renee shouting "The best in the world, CM Punk", redubbing it seems so petty but fucking hilarious.
Liam O'Rourke Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Been massively disappointed with the MNW series. Going chronologically would have been a way fresher approach than talking points beaten to death on previous documentaries, and would give the talking heads stuff far more context as things moved along.
MichaelMush Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I don't know where else they could go with the Monday Night Wars, I'm guessing there will be an episode about Goldberg at some point. Like I said in an earlier post is that they need to do an episode about how the quality of matches with the likes of Guerrero, Malenko, Mysterio, Jericho, Ultimo, Psicosis, Juvi etc were amazing but they kind of covered it in the ECW episode saying that they basically stole ECW's talent which once again made WCW look like the bad guys. I've noticed Tony Schiavone as a talking head maybe once or twice but he is the kind of person I'd like to hear some more from not Tyson Kidd or Seth Rollins.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 29, 2014 Paid Members Posted September 29, 2014 I'm like a kid at Christmas waiting for the network on Wednesday! Wonder how long the excitement will last?

andrew "the ref" coyne Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 The last two sure.... The rest can sod right off.
Loki Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 * Defining Moments such as when Hulk Hogan joined The nWo ...or the fucking tank again...
WyattSheepMask Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 * Defining Moments such as when Hulk Hogan joined The nWo ...or the fucking tank again... I'd be suprised if they mention that rarely mentioned Beer truck incident
