ECW TV

Sandman in wrestling attire is ridiculous. Wearing some kind of MVP jumpsuit.

Funk vs Snuka in a steel cage about to start.

Fignuts 03-14-2014 11:12 PM

Joey Styles should be in the hall of fame.

Corndad 03-14-2014 11:22 PM

Sweet. New Legends of Wrestling Roundtables were added. Major Moments and Wrestling in Texas. My night is all set.

Fat Aaron 03-14-2014 11:52 PM

Halloween Havoc '97. Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero for the cruiserweight belt. Even the crowd was super hot for that match. Multiple "Eddie sucks" chants. Probably gonna be the best match on this card.

James Steele 03-15-2014 12:54 AM

Royal Rumble '89 in Houston, Texas

Betting it sucks, but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised. It has Arn and Tully on the card so how bad can it be?

James Steele 03-15-2014 01:00 AM

Gorilla Monsoon used the "irresistible force meeting the immovable object" line for the Jim Neidhart and Dino Bravo confrontation during the 2/3 Falls 6-Man Tag and it was much less epic than when he used it at WrestleMania III.

FourFifty 03-15-2014 01:58 AM

About to start King Of The Ring 1994.

PROGRAMMING UPDATES

They have a really good 2 hour "Legends of Wrestling" Roundtable over the history of RAW that was filmed back around the RAW1000 special with Okurland, Patterson, Hayes, Road Dogg, and Jim Ross that is available OnDemand today.

Also, today they will be airing/adding the SD! that has the Brock/Angle Ironman match.

On top of all that, they will be airing/adding the "nWo: The Revolution" documentary.

Fuck, I love WWE Network. On-Demand content is sometimes choppy, but the live stream is usually always good. Really praying it works fine at WrestleMania on my X-Box so I can watch it on my TV. I've been away from home all week, and WWE sent me another e-mail about fixing the problems with the XBox 360.

James Steele 03-15-2014 08:13 AM

JS FunFact: My favorite Hulk Hogan match is Hogan/McMahon from WMXIX. About to rewatch it now on-demand and streaming on my laptop thanks to Vince McMahon's most recent proof of his genius...the WWE Network. "IT'S OVER THE TOP!"

Seriously, I want to give Vince McMahon a big bear hug.

My entire life, he has delivered moments and memories that make me feel like this:

Whenever I turn it in I find a gem of a show. Random house show from 86 that reinforces how good Steamboat was

Damian Rey 03-15-2014 01:36 PM

Watched a couple of Legends of Wrestling roundtables, and fuck me Flair is annoying. Never lets anyone get a word in. Other than that, love that particular show and I love this fucking network.

Malfeitor 03-15-2014 01:52 PM

I watched a few of those last night as well. Flair definitely got annoying.

Totally agree with Flair being over the top putting himself over way too much in those.

I loved listening to Jim Ross though. Passionate and knowledgeable and knew exactly the insight a fan would be curious about. Hope they do more of these down the line as it seems most were recorded a few years ago.

James Steele 03-15-2014 04:49 PM

The only thing that gets annoying about Jim Ross is the constant football analogies. I'm love football as much as anybody, god damn, not everything has to be turned into an analogy about coaches/players/running backs/quarterbacks/d-lineman/etc.

theexample 03-15-2014 06:42 PM

Just watched Rumble 93 again. I still don't know why Savage tries to pin Yoko.

James Steele 03-15-2014 06:49 PM

Savage's whole gimmick is that he was batshit insane in a much more serious/scary way than even Ultimate Warrior. Makes sense to me in a nonsensical kind of way.

Innovator 03-15-2014 07:53 PM

I love how Flair comments about TNA "TNA, what's that", then about a year after that was filmed, himself, Foley, and Tazz were all there.

James Steele 03-15-2014 08:04 PM

He may still have no idea of what TNA is after working there for a few years.

Flash Funk 03-15-2014 10:42 PM

No Way Out 2001. So great. Forgot about the 4 way for IC title with Y2J Eddie Benoit X Pac.

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-16-2014 12:47 AM

Slamboree 97 going through the WCW PPVs until maybe Starrcade where the nWo storyline should have ended.

Damian Rey 03-16-2014 12:49 AM

Just watched the 2 hour Raw roundtable, and per usual, JR had some great insight. PS Hayes is also really good on there. He's a little over the top at times, but overall his insight and contribution is very much relevant, unlike fucking Flair.

James Steele 03-16-2014 12:54 AM

I hate it when Flair and Foley are both on because Foley wastes time trying to make Flair understand his arguments.

Crazy Nick 03-16-2014 02:07 AM

Judgment Day 2000, really good show, loved this one back in the day.

Seth82 03-16-2014 03:30 PM

WCW Halloween Havoc 1998.

its really odd seeing Jericho & Raven coming out to their WWE Themes.

you cannot judge how good WCCW was off of one show.

you need to watch the WWE Triumph & Tragedy of World Class documentary from a few years back to better understand it.

The Von Erichs were like gods in Texas. They were doing stadium shows long before Wrestlemania did it.

Check out some of their big supercards from Reunion Arena/Cotton Bowl/Texas Stadium.

Here's the WWE doc on WCCW

Nah, seems like it would be way too boring. Thanks, though.

Also, Wrestlemania 19 is up now, and Limp Bizkit is in it. Pretty awful, but they're there.

Anybody Thrilla 03-16-2014 06:55 PM

They were introduced as "WWE's favorite band in the world" or something. Ridiculous.

it is quite depressing to watch at times.

it is however a documentary that is must see.

Jordan 03-17-2014 01:05 PM

I've been watching a lot of WWF I haven't seen in several years.

Wrestlemania 9 was nowhere near as bad as its reputation, very enjoyable show, excep Hogan at the end.

Wrestlemania 8 was fanfucking tastic and probably the best WM of all time up until its shitty Hogan main event.

Wrestlemania 10 wasn't as good as I remember it being. Owen/Bret was a really good match but not as good as their cage match from later in the year. And I'd say the same about the ladder match. There are no other matches on this card that are worth a damn, minus the main event which is decent and a classic moment at the end when Bret wins.

I think that there is a possibility I missed a Wrestlemania in the 20's but I'm not sure, gonna excavate.

Emperor Smeat 03-17-2014 01:45 PM

WWE's Greatest Rivalries Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart

Jordan 03-17-2014 08:00 PM

Everybody should go watch The Headshrinkers vs The Steiners at WM 9. Really good forgotten match. Just an example of how revolutionary the Steiners were for Pro Wrestling. Though the frankensteiner is botched at the end, it's still a really good match. Also, HBK vs Tatanka wasn't bad except the dumb ass finish. WWE had a lot of trouble putting HBK over at his first solo Wrestlemania's.

I love the series, but you can really tell how much Flair doesn't like him. Really seems to not like Taz either, as Taz does his best to not offend Flair and just gets shit all over.

Crimson 03-17-2014 10:20 PM

I like watching the Old School WWF ones. Theres like only 5 of them im on my 3rd one and Heenan/Gorilla were simply the best.

Some decent undercard matches like Flair/Piper as well
