Paid Members Benno Posted November 18, 2014 Paid Members Posted November 18, 2014 They've added some neat functionality to the web version today. You can queue things, see where you're upto and hover over shows for more details. You can even see at a glance whïch show the vague titles like "Episode 676" refer to on the main page, so I stop loading up This Week in WWE instead of NXT by accident. All good stuff that's been needed for a while.
Paid Members Benno Posted November 24, 2014 Paid Members Posted November 24, 2014 Not quite the Network, but worth noting for anyone with Unblock US/Hola etc already, the Randy Savage doc is currently available to stream on the Wallmart owned Vudu for a bargain $3.99 rental (they take Paypal).
Paid Members JNLister Posted November 24, 2014 Paid Members Posted November 24, 2014 New subsection within "Originals" called "As Seen On YouTube" which is self-explanatory. A few fun bits like the warehouse show.

WyattSheepMask Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 There is a new doc in the original specials called 'Before They Were Superstars- Usos: 10 Hours to Houston'
Paid Members garynysmon Posted November 25, 2014 Paid Members Posted November 25, 2014 WWE bought WCW's video library, if WCW had cameras there then the court case footage would be part of that library. Kind of like how Paul Heyman's DVD had backstage footage of ECW shows where he's riling the talent up. It's not just TV/PPV shows they buy. Interesting. I thought that footage was from Beyond the Mat as it had the same camera angles and everything.
GavinSAFC Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I thought I'd watch all the PPVs from the start of 2001 onwards a few months ago. I'm up to Backlash 2002. It's a decent PPV but I'd recommend you watch as it's one of the last major shows before they entered the 'ruthless aggression' era, and it shows. There's the debut of Lesnar aswell.
Sphinx Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Why do people call it the Ruthless Aggression era? I'm not having a go, I mean I don't actually know. Cena said 'Ruthless aggression' on his debut. Is it linked to that? Benoit also had 'ruthless aggression', but why 2002 as the starting point? Did Lesnar or Heyman say Ruthless Aggression?

It was a buzz phrase they tried to get over. I think it started with Vinny mac saying he wanted wrestlers with "Ruthless aggression".
Paid Members Benno Posted November 25, 2014 Paid Members Posted November 25, 2014 Yeah they tried to force it as the next "era" after Attitude and it didn't really stick. Always seems weird when people use it like it's a real term.

They tried to get it over but I don't know if it ever really took. Was certainly nowhere near as good as when he used to say "in THAT very ring tonight" every week
Paid Members JNLister Posted November 25, 2014 Paid Members Posted November 25, 2014 WWE specifically call it the Ruthless Aggression era in the 30 years of WrestleMania mode in the 2K14 game.
Merzbow Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 We're currently in the "Reality Era" aren't we? When did this start being used as I'm sure it's a very recent term.
WyattSheepMask Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Tribute To The Troops 2005 is on the network at 2 pm (UK TIME) tomorrow and the 2006 edition is on Friday. There was a section in the OnDemand for it but it's disappeared, but will most likely return once it's broadcast on the live stream.
