Same with if you go a couple days ahead, the Steve Austin "Beyond the Mat" episode which is 2.5 hours long and fucking fantastic so far. Go go go!

Starrcade 92 Battlebowl: Lethal Lottery was such an awesome gimmick for a pay per view. Random tag teams, winners get to be in BATTLEBOWL at the end for a special ring.
Plus BIG VAN VADER best of all Vaders.

And they were legit random tag teams too. One of the reasons why the gimmick didn't work to be honest. Some of the pairings were so odd they couldn't get many good matches out of them.

Kind of like how Brawl For All was an AWESOME idea but it wasn't that wonderful. I tend to really enjoy concepts that let me see new and strange things and prefer that to a well worked match, but everything has its place.

I got through an archived match with no buffering, it's a miracle.
It sucks, but I understand, that the WWE is so averse to randomness on their cards
I thought was one of the reasons cited for dismissing the King of the Ring PPV concept is they didn't have a full card to advertise.
Though would be awesome if tried it for like Survivor Series

Those pairs were too perfect to be legit random. Almost everyone was forced to pair with a rival.
I think one time they did it legit randomly and they were fixed in advance the other years.
Yeah, it seems to be improving everywhere else but the PS4 app is still clown shoes.
PS4 is fantastic on live, but On Demand is a crap shoot, but it is like that on everything unfortunately right now and it is a bit irritating.
It is better today than it was yesterday but their facebook page is still blown up.

Definitely jynxing myself, but it's working wonders for me on PS4 also! Wouldn't play anything yesterday.
Yeah same. The VOD was barely working on anything for me last night.
I bet it's a case of the PS4 app wanting more bandwidth than what it actually needs. On a 120mbit connection wired here and we all know how shocking the wifi is on PS4.
I want that old WCW Saturday Morning show. I remember it was on like REAL early and I'd only see it once in a blue moon, but it was such a comfy show due to it being in such a small stage.
EDIT: This looks to be it. WCW Pro
Good lord! Was the match this brutal?

Holy shit. I've been watching Halloween Havoc 1991 on VOD with no problem on PS3!!
lol @ Kevin Nash coming out at Oz with a rip-off of "Another One Bites The Dust" playing. WTF. Oh no. A green Nash vs. Bill Kazmaier? This definitely wasn't on the home video release.

Yeah OnDemand is real fickle. I can watch Summerslam 2002 with no issues but can't for the life of me watch the first match of Survivor Series 2013 with The Shield/Real Americans vs The Rhodes/The Usos. Each show has their own server?
Seems to be running better today. Watching Wrestlemania III and on today. ( Wm3 was the first one I saw as a kid). Having it on in my office so that my clients can enjoy it as well haha. I had forgotten how the presentation used to make it seem like an actual competitive sport, so classy.
Also Rick Martel was pretty good.
Double also: Gorilla and Jessie add so damn much to these matches...

Almost all the early 90s WCW PPVs had matches removed from the home video release to fit everything on a 2 hour tape. So the majority of those will have matches that a lot of people have never seen. Or wanted to see, in most cases, but one show cut like a 15 minute Eaton vs Pillman match.

PPVs are working a lot better for me today. Only a few buffers and they actually continue playing where they left off, which is a great improvement. Edit: I mean after the buffer, not them adding a resume feature.

Yes. There's like 7 or 8 of them, all wonderful with great guests. Hit up youtube instead of waiting, because they are fantastic.
Nothing sounds more TNA/Russoriffic than the Tower of Doom at GAB 88. 3 tiered cage. 2 wrestlers start in the top cage. Every 2 or 5 minutes (it changed each time or wasn't explained properly), all the doors unlock (by ropes controlled by refs) and a wrestler from each team enters. The doors would stay open for a certain amount of time that also seemed to change each time. The first team to have all members exit the bottom cage would be the winner.
So it's like a reverse battle royal mixed with War Games with 2 extra cages and trap doors.

If a cheat sheet is required for a fan to understand a match's rules, you done fucked up somewhere.
I think a cheat sheet was needed for the refs and time keepers involved because the rules that were announced were not the rules actually used in the match. The rules made it sound like every 5 minutes the doors would open and new wrestlers would come in. Then the door would stay open for 5 minutes. But it was more like the guys came in every 2 or 3 minutes and the doors stayed open until someone got through them, or randomly closed.

That six man tag match Barely Legal was amazing, it's also had no buffering an hour in on PS4.

PS3 VOD is starting to shit itself again. Buffering every 10 seconds.

They did that match again at Uncensored '96, with Hogan & Savage vs Flair, Arn Anderson, Meng, The Barbarian, Luger, The Taskmaster, Zeus & The Ultimate Solution, with Hogan winning, so I'd say that's more TNAriffic.
Kind of annoying how most of the In Your House PPVs are only called In Your House and a number and not the name of the show. To find Badd Blood 1997 I have to search for In Your House 18. At first I thought they were pretending the name of the thing was "Bad Blood" like when they edited Mick Foley's book to change that.
Mr. Enigma

Yep. PS3 VOD has totally shit itself again.

Watching the Legend Roundtable on giants. The end of the '93 Rumble made Macho Man look like an idiot.
I know there are some Bayley fans in here. This video just got posted: NXT Diva Bayley's Video Blog: Feb. 26, 2014
Jesus, she's all right when she's naïve, not when she's eight fucking years old.
I remember watching that as a kid like
Not a good day for a young Randy Savage mark.
