Except the WWE has actual numbers to show that nobody is watching even the Raw or Nitro's they have on call. If the shows that are part of the era that have been deified can't get much use, what's the chance of a random AWA show from 1985 getting any views?
The truth is, the cost it takes to digitize and HD-ize these shows probably doesn't match the benefit. I think we'll eventually get everything up on the Network, but it'll be in dribs and drabs over the next 5 to 10 years, not over the next week.
Because frankly, to the average WWE fan, another Diva Search will draw far more subscribers than the November 19th, 1985 WCCW TV Show, even if I'd prefer the latter.

It all goes back to what Vince said. This new generation are Millennials and most lack that inherit quality needed to be a Superstar. Take the ladder match for example. I could sense bad vibes coming from everyone involved in the match, as if they knew they were doing nothing new and just going through the motions. The winner was a man who ended last Mania as the ultimate champ but got injured and allowed himself to comeback for that.
Then you have Bray Wyatt. A man who spent 2 months droning on and on about his dream match. And what happens the day of? He sprains his ankle. What an embarrassment. Thankfully Taker was there to carry him, and he's very lucky his bum ankle didn't end up causing an accident for that 50 year old man.
Look at Triple H and Sting and everyone involved in the match. Consummate professionals, all deserving of "you still got it" chants.
The only people on this card from the new generation that deserved to be there were Rusev, Nikki Bella, and Seth Rollins.
Props to Orton and Cena for putting up with all these other fuckers.
I have no idea but he posted it on the Observer message board. He doesn't seem to think that Neville will be debuting either now.

Of course randomly throwing up wccw won't work. Its why fly Kevin von,Erich in to do promos talking about wccw.
Get jim Ross and Ted dibiase talking about mid south.

I haven't heard Meltzer mention anything about call-ups. Last night on the LAW, Pollock mentioned Neville and Kalisto.
I'll never understand what it is with Vince and guys looking like they just took a shower.
Does he think we are supposed to believe that they are all working out backstage when they don't wrestle?
It also might be to stop them from overheating in the match. Lots of lights / ambient heat in the ring.

Queen is going to grace us with her presence tonight.
That crowd would fucking go apeshit.
And then Dunn would do creepshots and book her to lose in 3 minutes.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Too bad it was kind of a foregone conclusion they weren't gonna pay Goldberg to show up.
Oh, it's that time of the year. Time for our annual "NXT womens champ random job" on Raw.

All aboard! The Love train!
Neville should be able to get over on Raw, right? I saw him at a house show ages ago and people who didn't know who he was were still very into the Red Arrow.

That's a funny way to say spell Peeples
Nah, she's probably just going to be in a dark match. Because the crowd tonight will actually care about NXT stars.
Hey Brother I want to believe in the future jack but we all know who runs the show.
Unless that NXT show changed Vince's opinion on female workers being valued over the real world wannabe stars who couldn't wrestle or even construct a sentence.
Best moment of the night.

Sting is going to be there tonight to apologize to Vince, apologize to HHH and to everyone who has ever worked in the WWE because he was wrong this whole time. He will bow in humiliation and then seppuku.

Speaking of NXT, monthly specials seem like overkill. Lucha underground got them scared

You think WWE is concerned with a company that gets less viewers than TNA?

I feel like this might need quoting for accuracy in a few hours.

I don't have as much of an issue with the monthly specials because it was inevitable. If NXT is going to become its own touring brand and a separate thing, then they were going to have to run big shows more frequently. And like I said earlier, the talent and booking of NXT are good enough to pull of monthly shows.
Tazz looks great.
I am going to fuck you up.

What if they aren't?
I really don't want them to ruin the only wrestling show that I constantly enjoy.

This version of Lesnar might be the best and most entertaining thing that's come along in wrestling for at least a decade.
Unique to the core and Heyman just makes it that much better.

They build to big matches even without specials every month. Zayn/Neville back in November. Owens/Balor last week. The people booking have shown that they know what they are doing. I have faith in them until proven otherwise.

Sasha and Finn might be going to Raw, NXT loosing the novelty of their specials by doing them monthly, NXT stock is dropping fast.
