I'm going to my first RAW on Monday.

Should be a raucous crowd, no?

All State? Hell yeah, one of the most raucous! Do you live in the City? Going to ROH?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

So... I've never seen a WCW event before... What's a good one for someone who knows next to nothing about them?

Bash at the Beach 96 is historically significant, but I think to get the essence of what WCW was pre-nWo I'd hit Great American Bash 89.

I'm going to my first RAW on Monday.

Yes.

Start with GAB 88 or one of the shows from 89.

Reasons to get the Network #74: Opening up a random Monday Night Raw from 3/1/93 to see an Elvis impersonator (not HTM) on commentary. And Vince and Macho is in on THE ENTIRE THING that this is indeed Elvis.

And Macho still finds a way to shill Slim Jim's. What a treasure.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Goddamn I love Summerslam 91s intro. I could just watch PPV intros all day and be happy. Vince is in top form when he's barking about the product.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

All State? Hell yeah, one of the most raucous! Do you live in the City? Going to ROH?

Suburbs and no.

My hype decreased after hearing from others from WrestleGAF that it can be boring, but I can't wait to see how the crowd hijacks the show.

Looks in better shape there

Was Vegan then.

 

[Aiii]

Been advancing slowly with my WCW rewatch on the Network, would have been better if Nitro was on there though, or at least if they had a few more video packages to introduce the matches and the angle leasing up to them.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

have they uploaded 2000-era Thunder yet or not

its what the People want

Eve Torres <3

 

[Scottify]

I've been debating on my historical PPV rewatch if I should watch them year-by-year or PPV-by-PPV. An important question.

 

[Pavaloo]

Eve seriously got good by the time she left i actually wanted her to retain the championship so badly. also dat theme song

 

[Spider from Mars]

Is Anderson drunk?

 

[Anth0ny]

None of the Harts are particularly good at promos. Owen made up for it by mannerisms, but don't get those confused for promos. Guy was the one responsible for 'leg out of leg.'

You might think Bret had some good promos with Austin, but that's just because Bret was playing himself. A whiny crybaby.

EVERYONE IN THAT GOD DAMN DRESSING ROOM KNOWS I'M THE BEST THERE IS, THE BEST THERE WAS, AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE

AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, TOUGH SHEEEITTT

I need help deciding all this. I have been watching nothing but NXT so far. Hoping for a guide to come along and lead me to the promised land. How is the guide in the OT?

It was the glasses. When she started wearing those glasses...

 

[Spider from Mars]

Shaw needs a fedora to pull the outfit together.

 

[strobogo]

Year by year for sure. It doesn't even make sense to watch 8 years of Backlashes in a row or something.


Smackdown pre and post show are already up on the Network.

 

[slightconfuse]

Eve Torres <3

GOAT theme

 

[Pavaloo]

god damn.

she's got everything i want, everything i need

 

[Spider from Mars]

Aries wearing trunks while ref'ing is great.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I want it so bad brah. All of WCW. I have to have it. Are there brahs still selling DVDs of it?

 

[Batigol]

[Sabucin]

Batista getting tired just watching the Mojo Rawley's entrance.

 

[kiguel182]

Looked so much better here, tougher too... I hate his current look.

If he still looked like this he would have no problem representing the company in more mainstream media.

That hair he has now is a disgrace. I mean I'm a big Bryan fan but enough is enough.

 

[lovely ladies]

Eve Torres <3

Why did she leave? I thought she was popular.

 

[GQman2121]

I finally figured out that Internet Explorer is the only browser that seems to like the network, so I got a chance to play with Gifcam.

This is how you rock two belts to the ring. Not that over the shoulder shit....

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

It was the glasses. When she started wearing those glasses...

Just delicious. I was bummed when she left. She had just started that gimmick of taking pictures with the people she beat, and it was pretty awesome.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Kind of looks like Skull from Power Rangers -- it's actually kind of freaking me out.

 

[Marvel]

Agreed. Sick of it too quite frankly, also I understand it's good to be different but he looks a mess.

 

[Carnby]

I've begun my countdown to Lockdown, who is going to make the OT thread?

Heavy?

 

[Batigol]

Ya'll are making a TNA thread in OT?

 

[kiguel182]

Agreed. Sick of it too quite frankly, also I understand it's good to be different but he looks a mess.

Yeah, being different is good and all but he was already over with that previous look and even when his beard was bigger it looked okay.

Then he stopped cutting is hair and beard and now he looks like a mess. I don't know why he has done it but the worse he looks the more validity the mindset of "the Authority" makes sense.

 

[strobogo]

I'm about to start my remastering of WCW gifs. For now, it will obviously just be PPVs. Starting with Souled Out 98. High res La Parka in coming.

 

[Sephzilla]

Brian should keep the beard but cut his Jesus hair.

 

[strobogo]

Bryan should just trim the beard a bit. Shave the apples. Give the beard a little more of a defined shape.

 

[Spider from Mars]

I just saw the card for STARDOM THE HIGHEST in March and It looks pretty hype. Cheerleader Melissa vs Io should be great.

1. Rookie of Stardom: Yuna Manasa vs. Koguma
2. Takumi Iroha 10 Match Trial Series Match #5: Takumi Iroha vs. Madison Eagle
3. Artist of Stardom Titles Match: Hiroyo Matsumoto, Miho Wakizawa & Mayu Iwatani (c) vs. Kaori Yoneyama, Kellie Skater & Hatsuhinode Kamen (2nd Defense)
4. Goddesses of Stardom Titles Match: Alpha Female & Kyoko Kimura (c) vs. Nanae Takahashi & Kairi Hojo (1st Defense)
5. Wonder of Stardom Title – Yuhi Stardom Retirement Match: Act Yasukawa (c) vs. Yuhi (4th Defense)
7. Natsuki*Taiyo Retirement Road Final: Natsuki*Taiyo vs. Yoshiko
8. World of Stardom Title Match: Mio Shirai (c) vs. Cheerleader Melissa (6th Defense)

 

[lovely ladies]

Bryan should go the extra step of wearing scarves and plastic glasses to further his hipster look.

That looks pretty goddamn great. They don't do any iPPV though do they? Fuck, I'd like to buy it.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

WHERE THE HEYL IS MY RENEE YOUNG PHOTOSHOOT????????

 

[BronsonLee]

Natsuki is retiring?! Boo!

 

[kirblar]

I'm surprised they haven't had a hipster heel.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Spider from Mars]

Natsuki is retiring?! Boo!

Yeap, Yuhi is also retiring and announced her last match is next month vs. Meiko Satomura

Can't wait

 

[lovely ladies]

They should have at least a female hipster heel or manager.

 

[Data West]

I'm surprised they haven't had a hipster heel.

I thought Chris Hero was that

 

[slightconfuse]

I hope this hoes up online sometime soon. Their previous matches have been fantastic

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

They should have at least a female hipster heel or manager.
