When Nitro expanded to two hours in May 1996, Schiavone and Zbyszko started doing the first hour. When Bischoff joined the nWo in November 1996, that's when Schiavone started doing the whole show.

Those sneaky bastards. They put Nitro now when most people's subscriptions are up. Triple H must be laughing his ass off right now at his office.

I'm not 100% sure if I will keep it. I see the value of it, but I wish we had Raw after it airs. Some matches are just plain boring and would love to fast forward through it on the network. Three hours is just way too much to spend a Monday night after work.

Perhaps watching a few 1996 Nitros will change my mind.

I know this might be crazy to say but these 96 nitros after the NWO formed got too much wrestling... Where is the promos, backstage skits, you know the stuff that hooks people

The 8/5/96 and the 12/9/96 episodes of WCW Monday Nitro on the Network include exclusive post-show footage (the cameras were still rolling as they went off the air).

Anyone else on PS4 having issues with the Network randomly freezing the feed on any on-demand videos? I keep having to back out of the video and resume it to get it to play again. Works fine on my PC and PS3, though..

I finished SuperBrawl V, watched RAW #99 and about half of ECW #96 tonight without issue (on PS4).

Click to expand...

Probably the same reason they have been stuck in August 1995 for Raw for months, haven't updated World Class since March, have almost all the Nitro dates off by a day, and labeled episode 1 of Nitro as episode 79: Someone (Joey Styles?) sucks at their job and the approach to the whole thing has been haphazard as fuck.

Indeed. ECW gets better around mid 95 to late 96. Those were the glory days imo. I hope it's not because of New Jack which would be some bullshit since the gangstas/public enemy feud is one of the best tag team feuds of all time.

I don't remember, is the inestimable Psicosis in the Greatest High Flyers ep?

Also everyone should watch NXT for Itami's legit match debut.

I absolutely do over Rey in WCW. He had great physical charisma and I loved his work in the air. Consistently blew my mind.

New Jack is on all the PPVs he was on. I don't know why people think he'd be cut from everything. He really wasn't doing anything crazier than anyone else in ECW.

You are a dumb dumb, friend. Friend Dumb Dumb. Hypnosis was at the bottom of the top luchador tier (which includes Rey/Juvi/La Parka/Ultimo). He has the worst flow to his matches, botched the most (which is saying something with Juvi in the list), generally had the worst offense and transitions. I mean, he was fun, but anyone who prefers him to Rey is a dumb dumb.

What?! Psicosis was right up there with Rey and Disco. Juvi would eventually be on the same tier, but La Parka was always one tier lower, which he didn't deserve, but La Parka was on the same tier as Super Calo and Silver King, even though we know that's not what he deserved.

Ultimo Dragon is my favorite dude of all time. La Parka is my second favorite WCW Lucha. Psychosis is fifth or so, he's good and all but no Silver King/El Dandy.

I'm talking about talent more so than push rankings.

Top Tier
  • Rey Jr.
  • Juvi
  • Ultimo Dragon
  • La Parka
  • Hypnosis

Middle Tier:
  • Silver King
  • El Dandy
  • Super Calo
  • Ciclope

Bottom Tier:

  • Lizmark Jr.
  • Shark Boy
  • Mr. JL
  • Los Villanos
  • Damian 666
  • Hector Garza



Some guys I'm unable to rank. Such as Liger or Blitzkrieg.

I had the same problem (although I live in Germany, where we won't have the Network for a long time, so I have to use a VPN service to cheat the system), the PS4 was the worst playback machine in my home, so I used the PS3 as my WWE Network machine. Recently Apple TV has become the only way for most of us to still be able to pay for the Network, so I got one of those, and it is fine as well. Crazy that they IP rejected payment from some fans and threw them out while the numbers were still considered bad and you'd think they'd value every customer.

Middle tier for El Dandy :/....why you doubt him? Shark boy is too damn low. He pretty much put TNA on his back with his exceptional moves.

If there's anything I've learned about running a WCW channel it's that there IS a small but diehard following of Lizmark Jr.
