Refused Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Well after winging that they weren't going to do it.... the latest Monday Night Wars covers the Cruiserweight Division, the failed WWE Lightweight Division, and how the cruisers were held down behind a glass ceiling. Really weird bit is when they try not to mention Benoit as a defecting Radical. Great little watch. Looking forward to giving that one a watch. Might finally be an episode that doesn't feel like a condensed version of a previous documentary.
WyattSheepMask Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Got that for £5 when the SilverVision deal was coming to an end, still never really bothered with it. Next episode of Monday Night Wars covers Goldberg apparently
Paid Members Benno Posted October 16, 2014 Paid Members Posted October 16, 2014 To be fair, having watched the episode now, I really enjoyed it. There were still elements of spin but it hit all the major points I.e. the Cruiserweight division was ace and the Light Heavyweight division was comparatively shite. All the modern day talking heads were the right people and it really tied up well by hitting home how some of the recent top guys, particularly Bryan and Punk were influenced by the style showing a change in the times. My favourite episode so far.
WyattSheepMask Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 The Network is back to showing Raw Flashback, picking up from September 95 onwards
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted October 27, 2014 Paid Members Posted October 27, 2014 Those rivalries documentaries they were advertising during the PPV, they new or rehashed 24/7 stuff?
King Pitcos Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Technically new, but pretty much everything will be rehashed from DVDs, WrestleMania Rewind, Countdown talking heads etc.
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted October 28, 2014 Paid Members Posted October 28, 2014 Added to the Beyond The Ring section is the 'Superstar' Bill Graham: 20 Years Too Soon doc. I'm going to check that out when I get at the end of the week. Am I right in thinking that this was never officially released over here Yeah. Wasn't released over here due to the fact it wouldn't sell particularly well and because the BBFC demanded a few matches to be cut. I remember them coming down *hard* on one of those matches Graham had with Dusty Rhodes.
neil is brill Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Not sure if this goes in here but Rusev vs. Sheamus for the US Title is being aired exclusively on the network after Raw tonight. Anyone reckon the match was there to entice UK fans to sign up, but with the delay they've gone "fuck it, put it on anyway." More worrying is that they haven't got room on a 3 hour broadcast for a mid-card championship match. Would've been nice to get the obvious title change in Liverpool next week, but never mind.
The Dart Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I'd say it's more to do with the free month. Get people to sign up for the match. And it's not like there's not room for it on Raw. It's a pretty good idea to do exclusive matches on the Network and doing it tonight makes sense.
neil is brill Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 What's happening tonight? Aside from the influx of new subscribers, oh wait...
The Dart Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Tonight is the first Monday of the free month.
AshC Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Watched Psicosis vs Ultimo Dragon from Great American Bash '97 last night, what a hidden gem! Belting match, some of the spots would be ahead of their time now!
