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.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-06-2011 03:47 PM

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.

St. Jimmy 12-06-2011 03:48 PM

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.

Anybody Thrilla 12-06-2011 03:52 PM

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

Anybody Thrilla 12-06-2011 03:52 PM

Also, I think Legends House sounds OK.

Supreme Olajuwon 12-06-2011 03:52 PM

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

Nicky Fives 12-06-2011 03:54 PM

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.

Supreme Olajuwon 12-06-2011 03:55 PM

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.

dhellova guy 12-06-2011 03:55 PM

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.

Supreme Olajuwon 12-06-2011 04:03 PM

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.

Cool King 12-06-2011 04:08 PM

When I saw the title of the thread, I thought the reason would be because a Skrillex remix was used for the promo.

I've came across a few people not being too impressed by the use of Dubstep for the promo. I've also came across a few people saying that the promo gave them a headache. :-\

Juan 12-06-2011 04:10 PM

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

#BROKEN Hasney 12-06-2011 04:14 PM

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.

What Would Kevin Do? 12-06-2011 04:14 PM

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"

St. Jimmy 12-06-2011 04:18 PM

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

legendkillerRKO 12-06-2011 04:25 PM

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:

Hanso Amore 12-06-2011 04:26 PM

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

Hanso Amore 12-06-2011 04:27 PM

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.

Anybody Thrilla 12-06-2011 04:28 PM

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!

#BROKEN Hasney 12-06-2011 04:31 PM

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