So tomorrow night I'm having a party. Expecting about 60 people. I have the idea of playing old NWA WCW PPV on the big screen muted while everyone is dancing and having fun.
I remember going to a party once and this guy was playing old school Kung fu movies all night while people where having fun drinking dancing. By the end of the night we were all wasted transfixed on the 36th chamber while trance music was blaring in the background.
Thought I'd recreate that vibe.

Man, fuckin nothing works on PS3. Watched Arrival and tried to load random PPVs, nothing worked.

They really need to get more territory wrestling on there - one random episode of World Class isn't enough. I hear they're going to be putting on more of the MSG house shows, though, which is good news, but I'd kill for a complete season or two of Mid-South, CWF, GCW, etc.
Oh well, here's a gif of The Great Kabuki shortly before he squished two jobbers in a handicap match;

It was there a few days ago. I hope they don't go the Netflix route and start cycling out content.

That's weird, someone said they cut that out a few days ago. My mind! Full of fuck.
I thought it didn't happen live anyway.

Currently watching SPRING STAMPEDE 1994. What an awesome card! Flair and Steamboat is of course amazing, but the rest of the card rocks too. Great brawl with Vader and The Boss, Austin vs Muta is fantastic, as is Sting and Rude, Dustin Rhodes and Bunkhouse Buck is really good too. This card had a little bit of everything. Very entertaining from beginning to end. Thank you WWE Network!
It isn't/ By default, Twitter now does "relevant trends" so you'll see what comes up based on what you've talked about previously. Top trend is happy birthday Justin Beiber.
It's a shame that WCW would soon have a string of bad luck following that event. Rude suffers his career ending injury, Hogan and Friends show up, Steamboat suffers his career ending injury,and Steve Austin gets injured and is sent to mid card hell until he is fired.

Yeah that's a phenomenal show. It's crazy - had the nWo never existed in the next couple years, I wonder what route WCW would have taken.

So weird that Steamboat and Rude got injured so closely together. Doesn't get talked about much but man what a blow to a company. This all sounds eerily similar to TNA right before Hogan came in. Great in ring product with some interesting stories coming down the pipeline but management meddled with things and brought in the big names. If they would have stayed the course I could see WCW taking over WWF because they were the drizzling shits at the time. WCW without Hogan would have been young and financially lean.

Whelp GAF, you put me in an arm bar and I was unable to escape... just signed up 
Really didn't have a way to watch the PPVs before as I have no cable and I love the OTs for the various PPVs while they air, y'all are hilarious! Now I can participate (not likely with my pitiful posting habits lol).
Really excited to revisit some of my favorite shit from years past. And force my kid to watch Hogan and Warrior and Macho Man over and over

After going through some of the content, the only thing that will bring me back is when all of the Madison Square Garden events are added (the ones shown on the MSG network like Dusty vs. Billy Graham), and all of the AWA events (when Hogan and Andre were there). For some reason, I am only interested in watching wrestling events that I have never seen before. Everything that I already watched from wcw and wwf from 1984 onwards just doesn't interest me anymore.
Seeing how that is the only feature that has worked for me, I agree. They do a fairly good job at mixing it up. I think if they hired some random jobber hosts for occasional live segments, it could be enhanced a bit.

Just getting to the main event of Canadian Stampede. Damn what a hot crowd! What should I watch next?
Souled Out 2000, just for the first match alone.

What's even better is that at WW3 like a month later brand new monster heel THE YEEEETEEEH is out of the match in the first two or three minutes. WCW always great at getting new guys over.

I loved the trio of Schiavone, Rhodes and Heenan. I don't care what anyone says!
So the 2014 Royal Rumble is up, I'm pleasantly surprised that the finish didn't get the hairdryer treatment. All that booing is present and correct. I'm also surprised at just how much of the event music is still intact, Summerslam has Bodies, WMX7 has My Way and TT 2005 has Coming Undone along with others.

Watching Capital Carnage 1998 reminds me just how amazingly slutty they portrayed the women at the time.
Debra coming out with a tiny ass dress doing her "here look at my tits" thing. Chyna coming out wearing nothing but a bikini top and a thong with chaps. Terri Runnels running around wearing next to nothing. Jacqueline getting her actual tits exposed on the PPV. Sable doing her usual thing with her tits flying everywhere and her ass hanging out.
Goddamn, what a great time it was to be 14 years old.

Haha... Yeah, in retrospect it's terrible and slightly disgusting, but at 14 (me, too!) I assure you I was totally on board.

It was the greatest thing ever! The fans wanted hot women in next to nothing and we got it! The Raws were way better back then too. Women in the crowd would be doing all sorts of crazy things during commercial breaks.
Anyone know a workaround for this to work on older Rokus? I've added it via the Roku website, but it's not showing up on my actual Roku. I've heard conflicting stories. I have a Roku XD (2050). It sucks because I don't really wanna drop another $60 for this channel to work when everything else works fine.

The Network has been working flawlessly for me the past couple days on PS4, even at prime time. Watching Wrestlemania 19 right now and my god, that was a fantastic card top to bottom! I'd forgotten about Booker T vs. Triple H that night, but that was probably the best match I've seen out of Triple H in recent memory and Booker T was in classic form.

Watching World War 3 96. The promo tells me that Nick Patrick will be facing Chris Jericho. I'm hyped.

Yep. And Jericho has one arm tied around his back.
Damn nWo ref!

Well this is weird. They dubbed out the Steiners theme for a lot of these WCW PPVs but its there undubbed in Superbrawl VIII.

They are so inconsistent with the Ultimo Dragon. The announcer calls him the ultimate dragon and tony calls him ultimo.

Ultimo hits the giant swing!
After the match Mean Gene announces the new WCW website. It is incredible.

The classic WWF logo was so bad-ass, it's never been improved upon, imo;
"WWF, what the World is watching."

I really love the new version of that that they use for oldschool raws.
This should be the logo they use for EVERYTHING. It just looks so much better than the scratch and network logo.
