I think that is exactly the atmosphere they're going for.
Also, dammit, I'm going to have to watch Smackdown live now aren't I?

I don't think they killed dark matches. This show just didn't really need one. Who was going to wrestle?

These Kane and Brock backstage interviews...

Raw is now 4 hours long with the pre and post show.
Smackdown is now 3 hours long with the pre and post show.
Fuck
Impact is 2 hours long! Better
you mean the pringles can?

so pre and post shows were great. 4 hour Raws are a thing for me now, I guess.
NJPW also does this, with the backstage interview with the press conference type jazz, and the commentary team discussing the event for a while before it goes off the air.

I need a gif of Paul and Lesnar walking STAT.
Shit needs to be in the OT along with Hogan shaking his head at the sign.

yea I have to say. I do like the post show. Missed the preshow due to DDP Yoga time so I can't comment on that.

Network is living up to hype on day one. Good stuff.
That is some Scott Steiner math right there.
Fuck your 2 hours. 1 Hour NXT: Thursday Night Wars.

That was a waste of time
By looking old, fat, and skinny at the same time? I hope he has a new, bulkier body suit to wrestle in this year to help hide his muscle loss and gut gain.

He still looks smaller, but a dark beard makes a big difference.

Are they really doing pre/post show stuff for SD too? Why? I feel like a lot of the appeal is lost when its just taped and not live.

Yeah. Really liking it so far, I just hope that they make playing on demand videos faster and more consistent. (Resume, not taking 40 seconds to begin playing the video after the content advisory, sometimes kicking me out and having to reload it) Don't have a bad word to say about the live stuff, every time I've used it it's been great.

Backstage Fallout froze up on me during the Brock part. Getting nervous about watching PPVs on this thing... :/

I watched this WM Rewind earlier, so I'm gonna watch next week's instead. Hulk vs. Andre!
The pre and post stuff was more entertaining than a lot of the actual show.
They'll get stuff in there eventually that isn't meaningless, like anything this is going to be a learning process.
Part of the show that was previously private now requires them to be ON for another 30 minutes or so.

Sounds like I missed nothing noteworthy from a dogshit awful Raw. The future refused to change.
At least those spoilers proved to be false.

Raw was good tonight IMO.

Live streaming is ok just like their PPVs, but on demand stuff either won't play or freezes on iPad.
It's a Mania build Raw. They're going to build Mania and little else will happen.
You can always expect epic promos in every segment this time of the year.
Always.

I'd be all over pre and post shows if it was really raw and gritty like those shots you sometimes get to see on the DVDs of guys getting ready for the show, or people coming through gorilla after a show's finished. Like a backstage look at wrestlers who are still in character. Would be badass.
Unfortunately, I can barely sit through Raw even though I skip most of it, and I haven't watched Smackdown in like 2 years. The allure of pre and post shows is lost on me.

That's why Mike Tenay is the best in the business at the moment.

When was the last time we had an epic WM build promo? HBK/Taker?
WM build is overrated as hell. It's been terrible for years.

I miss the commentary team of Mike Tenay and Don West

Building a Mania that has been soundly rejected seems Iike a waste of everybody's time. Guess my WWE sabbatical starts early this year.
And I feel okay about skipping the app, so that's $60 saved.

Watching ECW Hardcore TV #26 (still Eastern Championship Wrestling) with Joey Styles and Paul E. Dangerously on the mic. I can't believe this is Styles, his voice is so somber.
Who does he work for?
