and I'm done with the WWE Network before it starts.
 

LEGENDS HOUSE!? No. Fuck off. Reality TV is cancer.

And here I thought a channel run by the WWE would only produce top notch, dignified programming.

To be fair, this is also a guy who didn't want to buy an iPPV for ROH because the provider also did MMA PPV's.

Yes supreme, but I did have some expectations of them actually attempting something that resembled credibility. Like even a silhouette, or possible a big burlap sack that says "credibility" on it. Nope. Just a big flag that says "W" on it with a slogan "WATERING IT DOWN SINCE 2003"

Google "Chael Sonnen" and "Drug Test". MMA is a dirty business.

Jimmy, let's not be silly. Professional wrestling has some drug problems too.

Also, I think Legends House sounds OK.

2003? It's the WWE. They haven't had credibility since 1952.

For all the good shows, there will be at least 20 bad ones..... just don't watch them.....

Yes, but they also don't let gassed up dudes go out to a thin mat and LITERALLY beat the piss out of someone. That's negligence on UFC's part.

Has anybody ever watched a pro wrestling event and thought "Wow, this passes for legitimate theater"

C'mon. It's wrestling. It's a beacon of stupidity and superficiality. Nobody watches it for its credibility.

You mean you dont want to see Iron Sheik in the same house as B. Brian Blair? I would pay good money to see that.

I dont know whos in the house or not, just sayin...

I see the error of my ways now.

Going to go cancel my TV license because they have had the audacity to show CYCLING on TV, what with all it's drug problems. Fuck Lance Armstrong.

It's not about the content, it's about the Network itself. Instead of being the ESPN of Wrestling it's going to be the MTV of Wrestling. Exact model.

Let's build a company on the first letter of our name (MTV, WWE) and then drop the first letter and the concept. Then let's put out nothing but reruns and watered down content for the droning masses to watch while we jam adverts in their face so they consume some more.

ESPN shows the same Sportscenter 13 times in a row every day. They also have a bunch of filler talk shows that talk about the same thing over and over before they show more Sportscenter.

I'll never understand why some wrestling fans hate MMA so much. Seems silly

To be fair, these complaints are just as ridiculous as Jimmy's

It was an awful promo, felt like something "extreme" from the mid-90's with some up-to-date music.

Be silly to write something off totally because of it though.

Out of curiosity, what do you expect for them to show on this Network? Even if they have a gigantic library, you know they weren't going to show all wrestling all the time.

Legitimate television. Roundtable discussions, historic recreations, interviews with past/current stars, some sort of news broadcast.

Not "HEY, WWE REHAB HOUSE"

and with that, I'm out of this thread. See ya.

Also, I'm pretty sure the first letter in WWE stands for 'world', not 'wrestling', if that's what you were getting at. This Legends House represents a 'real world' scenario, so it seems legit. :shifty:

godspeed

I want the house to consist of Ric Flair, Shiek, Roddy Piper, Hacksaw, Jake Roberts, the Ultimate Warrior and Chyna. That sound like fun to me! Maybe throw Foley in there as the voice of reason....

You lost your credibility with the idea of HISTORIC RECREATIONS.

This isnt the Battle of Gettysburg, it is wrestling.

You are coming off like a "MAD WHINY BITCH", yo.

Real mature, guy. :roll:

Also, way to create a thread, get owned, and bail. Tight shit right there MENG.

This is odd, I thought St. Jimmy was the goods. Then this thread just pulled the rug out from under me.

Next thing I know, someone will tell me ABT is actually not a lovable black man, like a young Carl Winslow.

What do you even mean by historic recreations? Should they have Dolph Ziggler dress up in Mr. Perfect's tights and put Tyson Kidd in a greasy black wig to recreate Summerslam 91's intercontinental title match?

GO HOME, GO HOME, GO HOME!

And now, on World Wrestling History, the recreation of World War 2. Starring Wade Barrett as Winston Churchill and Michael Hayes as Adolf Hitler.

I might watch this.....

Google "Chris Benoit"

I hope they have a show about how Aliens Influenced the Early NWA

Google Eddie Guerrero, Rick Rude, Curt Hennig.

Google Bruiser Brody.

Google Mass Transit.

Google XPW, Lizzy Borden, Rob Black.

Google the Messiah.

Google Dino Bravo.

I know when I heard the WWE was creating its own network, I too thought it would follow the model of public broadcasting and NPR.

Quit being such a wrestling Hipster.

That whole ad was friggin' sweet.

Those are Puro Fans. Refer to my past thread.

He is being a Wrestling Star Trek Geek.

A wrestling news show? That would end up like the picture BDC had in his sig of Nash power bombing a statue of Saddam.

Can't believe wrestling gets you this angry. I bet you're the same kind of guy who just gets super furious when a teenager is listening to Bieber or any other chart music.

I, for one, will be ordering this network as soon as it's on the air.

I can't wait for Legends House... As long as they don't censor it too much.

Pumped!

This thread was saved by the Family Matters reference. Good work.

"Welcome back to Fresh Air, with JTG."

Legends House is a good idea in theory though it will probably be edited to be awful.

I want a return of Tuesday Night Titans.

Mick Foley Hosts with William Regal as his sidekick... :drool:

I expected more integrity from the makers of Tuff Enuff.

Heresy! All shows on the network must meet my rigid standards of excellence!

Because there's drugs involved and it's possibly fake.

Their fan will get really bored, really fast.

"2012: Wrestling with the Apocalypse!"

STOP LISTENING TO STUFF I DON'T LIKE, DAMMIT!

lol @ "historic recreations"

I never expected the WWE Network to be everything I wanted, by any means, but this guy can't be serious. :rofl:

Legends House After Dark

They could do historic recreations using their super realistic WWE 12 video game.

I want to see WWE go back and digitally alter matches and angles. Like a "What If" series.

For example, instead of Vince, they super-impose Jake Roberts as the higher power, and have a really bad voice actor have him cut a promo in Jake's voice.

aren't they going to have to do that when it comes time to air a Chris Benoit match?

All Chris Benoit footage will be digitally enhanced to include John Cena instead.

Can't wait for that Cena vs Cena match on RAW from 2007.

Supreme. I would like to see a pro wrestling shoe that elevated the industry to an artistic level. But I think update have to break kayfabe and build storeies around the lives of the wrestlers. The ring action would be done just like it is. But you'd not see all the match unless you were there or bought a seperate DVD. The backstage part would be acted but not like most, instead kayfabe wouldn't be a question real life scripted events would be. It'd be like pro wrestling's the office but not strictly comedy

I can't wait to watch Legends House.

Oh and go fuck yourself fat virgin smarks.

Do you just mash the keyboard with your palm and hit "submit reply?

This reminded me of when ESPN used to do "dream" NFL games where they'd take, say, the 70's Steelers and the 80's 49ers and take stock footage of the 70's Steelers playing a game against the 49ers and the 80's 49ers playing a game against the Steelers and simulate a game between the two teams. It was bizarre and I'm not sure if/how they could do that with wrestling but... it would be neat.

dub step makes me hate it

They're going to have live wrestling too though.

Not to be outdone, TNA has announced plans for an National AM radio channel. As well as a new reality show that follows the booking department called "Let's get high and write a story".

What gave you that impression?

He was drugged up and thought Jimmy was a tranny.

I'm looking forward for the Legends' House... I wonder who will be in it.

lol honestly, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the commercial. Lots of hijinx involving Hacksaw Jim Duggan

I want Iron Sheik, Roddy Piper, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Sunny, Jake Roberts and Ahmed Johnson in that house.

They should televise a house show each week.

Would boost the house show business a bit.

Lance Armstrong is a saint :mad:

David Millar on the other hand.... ;)

Check this out. The door of the house is partly open for like a frame:

LOOKS LIKE AHMED JOHNSON TO ME! :shifty:

Not enough cocaine.

lol I looked at the video, it's actually Miz.

The Miz will probably lose a match with a "loser lives in the Legends House" stipulation..

Only Andy Warhol but he was a fucking loon.

I think I was the one to come up with it, due to the sheer amount of crazy involved with all the old timers.

WWE: The Game show is all that I need to be thrilled with the network.

What would WWE: The Game Show entail?

In case you were wondering because I know you all are: the song played during the commercial was "Cinema" by Benny Benassi ft Gary Go (Skrillex remix)

One of the few dubstep tracks I enjoy.

They need a Saturday Morning Animated Cartoon block.

John Cena's Twitter'N'Wrestling: John Cena and friends use Twitter to solve crimes.

Randy Orton: The Animated Series: Randy goes around and RKO and Punt's various people each week.

The Sheamus Family: Set in the mythical land of Ireland. Featuring all of Sheamus' family of uncles, aunts, Beaker, etc...

Mucha Lucha

I could easily see Miz hosting Legends House.

Fixed.

This from the guy who reads Smackdown spoilers and immediately declares the show "the drizzling shits." Not surprising.

They could create an "old-school" block with the older Rock-n-Wrestling WWF cartoon, any G.I. Joe episode that had Sgt. Slaughter, and the old Super Mario Bros cartoons that had Lou Albino.

As much as certain people are complaining about Legends House, people will watch it for sure. People watched Touch Enough and that was a bunch of people that nobody even knew. These are established names.

I know I'm going to watch it. They should have Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka go coconut shopping together so we can see the tension one last time.

Roddy will then scream nonsensically at the cashier to FEEL THE ENERGY.

God damn, imagine being in a grocery store and Piper and Snuka, both dressed in-character, are shopping for coconuts with a huge camera team filming them. It would be the most bizarre thing ever.

Did I dream it, or did Booker T fight someone in a store in WWE ages ago

(I think it was Stone Cold?)

More Bizzare than this?

they should make a Network champion and have it defended 24/7 and have random interuptions into regular programing to cover the matches.

"We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for a championship match. Let's go to the hotel."

Sheik would fuck his ass and make him humble.

3:03

Best Michael Cole quote ever.

That was pretty great, actually. They should have another match at a place like that. Come on, the camera man went down a slide. How Awesome is that?

WWE should get Chuck E Cheese as a sponsor and start holding matches at random Chuck E. Cheeses.
