Anyone from NYC willing to let me crash at their place so I can watch some ROH/NJPW?

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[Jamie OD]

I'm so glad I was super early with signing up for this. I'm in bitches.

Spoiler

Sad thing is, I'm at work and can't really dig in till I get off at 5pm.

Ditto.

 

[Aiii]

Oh yeah, now that the Network is definitely working I don't need to spend more time looking for WM11 Lamp, good stuff!

 

[British Monsoon]

As someone who hasn't watched a ton of wrestling since the attitude era, I am looking for recommendations I could watch on the WWE network on some of the best modern era matches (within the past 2-3 years or so). From what I gather looking up Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, and Shield matches would be a good start. Any recommendations?

A few matches to get you started;

. Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus - 2/3 Falls - Extreme Rules 2012
. Brock Lesnar vs CM Punk - Summerslam 2013
. The Shield vs Cena, Sheamus & Ryback - Elimination Chamber 2013

 

[Aiii]

I'd say for Punk you should start with CM Punk vs. John Cena from Raw on February 25th, 2013.

 

[Cagey]

A few matches to get you started;

. Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus - 2/3 Falls - Extreme Rules 2012
. Brock Lesnar vs CM Punk - Summerslam 2013
. The Shield vs Cena, Sheamus & Ryback - Elimination Chamber 2013

I would add The Shield v. Kane, Daniel Bryan, and Ryback from Tables, Ladders, Chairs 2012.

 

[Spider from Mars]

Do we just post our respective WM review on the day in question?

Yep, post yours on March 2nd. All of them will be done in time for the MANIA OT!

 

[Scottify]

Still trying to sign up. As I thought, it's going to be touch and go. I'm hopeful I'll be able to get signed up today at some point.

I'll probably start with some old PPVs. Summerslam '92 from Wembley and probably WrestlMania VIII. I've been watching old Saturday Night's Main Event and Superstars leading up to that WrestleMania.

 

[Bizazedo]

I really really liked Cena vs Brock.

For WWE Network discussion (similar in format to the Netflix thread), I'm thinking:

The WWE Network Recommendation Thread of Five Star Matches

 

[Bizazedo]

To sign in I have to use Circle and X backs out?

What kind of barbarian designed this to go against convention?!

I really hope they tie in Hogan with the Real Americans somehow.

One of the glorious benefits of working from a home office is that I can keep the Network running all day long (on mute during phone/web conferences).

I've never seen a single ECW/WCW PPV, and no WWE content before early 2012, when my son and I started watching. I have SO MUCH TO WATCH, you guys!

Keep an eye on that bandwidth cap.

 

[Sokantish]

Caps are for losers

 

[newdayrocks]

TWC means no bandwidth cap. But it also means shitty Internet that goes down more often than MMAksana's knee.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I'd wait for the WWE Network Recommendations thread until the login issues are sorted and people start discussing the actual content. May be a couple days. Then the normal Network thread slows down to a crawl and people migrate over.

 

[Browny]

As a long-time lurker, I thought I'd introduce myself before the biggest Raw of the year kicks in, and I get lost in the shuffle...

Since I'm UK-GAF

Spoiler

and with a young daughter to look after and an other-half who just wouldn't understand

, glad I don't have to worry about trying to get the Network. Although slightly concerned my Youtube catchups are going to be severely curtailed in the future.

*looks around for hands to shake*

 

[slightconfuse]

Hogan
Taker
Brock
Flair
(Maybe punk, lol)

Tonight should be good

From what I gather looking up Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, and Shield matches would be a good start. Any recommendations?

The Shield vs Ryback, Daniel Bryan and Kane at TLC 2012, and Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk at Over The Limit 2012 are the MOTYs for WWE in 2012.
2013 is harder to decide as it was a really high quality year match wise. A crap ton of great Shield matches, Bryan matches, etc.

Daniel Bryan vs John Cena, and CM Punk vs Brock Lesnar, both at Summerslam 2013 are great.

 

[Sephzilla]

So guys, Shield vs Wyatts last night was fucking amazing.

Also!

and now.....the Hall of Shame

I made the big board!

 

[tm24]

So is EC up on the network already?

 

[Sokantish]

Hello Browny, you can totally still get the WWE network though

Cesaro and Sami Zayn 2/3 falls is gonna be on This is NXT!

We need an all time fave five list from you.

 

[Man God]

Finally got through.

 

[jmdajr]

Raw replay has some content from 1992, 1998 and then jumps to 2012, 13.14

 

[Christberg]

So guys, Shield vs Wyatts last night was fucking amazing.

Gonna have to pull that down later. Heard the chamber match was actually pretty great too, despite the stupid finish.

 

[Kaladin]

Rae replay has some content from 1992, 1998 and then jumps to 2012, 13.14

I had no idea Summer Rae was around in the 90's.

I love your av too.

FAVE FIVE US!

Well yeah she was born in 1983.

 

[Ithil]

I can't decide which was the best crowd chant of the night. "BOO-TISTA" basically dooming Batista's face run by giving the crowd a negative chant just for Batista, or chanting "PUSSY!" at Orton after he ran like a bitch to hide in the Chamber pod.

 

[jmdajr]

Hmmm. So no auto resume feature yet.

Gotta work on that.

That was a great spot too. Heel coward Orton is best Orton. I love it MAGGLE!

Definitely BOO-TISTA. That is chant of the year material right there.

 

[Sephzilla]

Yeah, the match was an A-level match that got bumped down into a B-level match becauser of a 2001 era WCW finish.

Neither. The best chant of the night was "Let's go Wyatts! Let's go Shield!". Boo-tista is #2 though.

 

[Browny]

All time? Well the first real lot of wrasslin I watched was WCW Saturday Night, so...

1. Vader (Big Van, not screwed-over WWF)
2. Masahiro Chono (tight STF shit, there)
3. Surfer Sting
4. Rick Rude
5. Steven Regal (yes, Steven...)

Pre-Hogan WCW was remotely bearable - great feuds, but no meaty storylines... Seems like we're getting blow-off feuds with weird storylines now...

This guy right here, it's a delight to have you brother!

 

[Sweeney Tom]

As great as BOOTISTA and PUSSY were, the crowd reaction of the night was the entire match where they cheered the normally-eternal crowd vacuum that is Del Rio over the babyface Mania main-eventer/soon-to-be champ.

 

[TL21xx]

Alright, here we go, round 2!

 

[slightconfuse]

Shame they couldn't get the WCW/NJPW shows on the network

 

[Queen of Hunting]

hogan wont be getting booed tonight thats for sure

Fans in attendance at tonight’s pay-per-view noted that the place went crazy when the Hulk Hogan return promos and the WWE Network promos featuring Hogan aired.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Nobody would boo Hogan. Dude's wrestling royalty. I don't care how jaded you get, he's still something special*
