Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2019 Cheers for the recommendations folks, I'll start catching up this weekend! 2 hours ago, Accident Prone said: Ha, I just did the same thing last weekend! Three months free and all I did was change my payment option. Ah, that might explain it. I selected PayPal this time. I clicked the link for the 'one month free' offer, but when I entered my account details they said I couldn't as it was for new customers only. Found a three month free link on Google and thought I'd try that- and I'm not being billed until 16th April 🤷🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive wealth of scene-setting for PPV matches and the ins and outs of how guys transition from their last house show feud to their next. Yes, I watched 90-92 and now I'm going back to the beginning. There's so much simple fun to be had, I even caught myself enjoying a Hillbilly Jim segment. Another highlight was an angle where Kim Chee was managing Kamala and it turned out to be the Honky Tonk Man under the mask, and he attacks Jake the Snake. Has there ever been a bad version of this? It works every time doesn't it? DDP as La Parka, Dean Malenko as Ciclope, Undertaker as Kane all fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchopcash Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The bulldogs v harts match on that snme is immense. Thats my favourite SNME of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I have a fonder memory of the "Monday Night War" period for the level of excitement generated by watching unspoiled wrestling telly during the "anything can happen" time when so many fresh ideas were coming to the fore, than Tony Schiavone shrieking "THAT'S NOT LA PARKA!!" after the Diamond Cutter. I'm not sure there are many angles I loved more upon first viewing, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gmoney Posted January 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 18, 2019 Something else I discovered watching old SNME - I hate Oliver Humperdink with every fibre of my black heart. How do you take someone who looks like that, dresses like that, and make them a face? I wanted to see someone kill him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only caught a smattering on indies on TWC back in his day so I'm not overly familiar with him at all, but it didn't stop me from getting a bit choked up watching it, to be honest. It's very well done, very frank and it has enough of a brilliantly told narrative journey from start to finish for you to get caught up in it and make it well worth your time. One of those ones were you just end up really happy for the guy at the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three months free and all I did was change my payment option. Thanks for the heads up, mine was up for renewal, googled the link and changed from paypal to card payment and boom 3 months free. First time ive not paid for it since the day it went live nearly 5 years ago. Cheers! GWN still have never charged me since the day they went live but they dont have a playstation app so i dont use it anyway.

Jesse used to rip him non stop on Superstars, calling him an ugly looking troll. Humperdink is the absoloute worst. Whoever thought putting Mr Wonderful with him would work needs shooting!

I like Hump too, but someone like Captain Lou would've made much more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted January 19, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) I just watched last year’s Royal Rumble as part of my ‘watch a few across January to hype myself up’ tradition. It’s a great match. Crowd’s loud throughout, it never gets dull, the surprises are great, there’s some great moments and interactions, it’s well paced, a really strong final four... If they can match it this year it’ll be a good Rumble. edit: I’d totally forgotten about the Ziggler ‘retirement’ angle though.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted January 20, 2019 Awards Moderator Share Posted January 20, 2019 Someone lent me PlayStation VR. I whacked on some WWE through the NextVR app. It's really entertaining. I watched the most recent War Games and it's fun playing director. There are 3 or 4 VR cameras mounted around the set and ring, which it's cuts between. From there you can look around everywhere. There was a particularly good slingshot tope from Ricochet across the ring boundaries where you could swing your head from one side to the other to track his full move. A bit like watching tennis. Very brave of a performance like wrestling where misdirection and direction is a lot of the show to allow you some freedom to look where you want. If you know someone with a VR setup, give it a try. Lots of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
