Watching all these old WWF shows with President Jack Tunney took me back.. At the only WWF show I ever attended back when I was like 8 years old in 1990 I went to the snack bar and saw Tunney and he said hi to me and asked who I was most excited to see there and I said Bret Hart..
Watched the WHC MITB match from last year. I don't remember it being that good. Also hearing JBL scream "Damien Sandow is the next WHC!" and looking where Sandow is now... it's sad really. If the titles were never unified I would have imagined it would have ended up being Sandow vs Del Rio for a few months over the WHC.
The trial offer ends today so that not a problem.
I have no had any sign in problems since the first week on any of my devices
Thinking about signing up for this soon. Couple questions real quick.
Has it been difficult to sign on at any point since the week after this went live? Any PPV's through WWE Network since this has been live?
I'd like to sign up for this for Wrestlemania primarily, and I understand the 6 month commitment. Any indications that this app will be ready for the load WM is going to give the network? Not to mention all the people that will simply use their 7 day trial just to watch WM.
Not sure what I think about 94 ECW. It doesn't really feel like ECW. I do somewhat remember 95 ECW and it feels more at home. 95-98 was GOAT ECW. Raven leaving was a huge blow. That's why I didn't like 98 ECW as much. Though Justin Credible was such an asshole, what an underrated heel.
lol coinciding perfectly with WrestlemaniaNext week's Beyond the Ring is the recent Triple H doc. And it certainly paints quite a picture of Triple H. A contrast to this week's Foley doc, which was honest and endearing

Speaking of Shane Douglas, who the fuck is he? Somehow Heyman made this guy champ and the one to trash the NWA belt in a big moment, but I don't see what Heyman saw in him. I've literally never enjoyed a Shane Douglas promo, match, or shoot interview. He's worse than Zack Ryder to me.

Just got a prompt for a patch for the ps3 version. "Various fixes and improvements"
I noticed there is no acceleration when choosing letters via search so that is good.
Weird panel they got for the legends of wrestling hardcore discussion. Road Dogg, who I only know for throwing Foley and Funk off the stage in dumpster, and Pat Patterson, who states at the top of the show that he finds it disgusting. Would really liked to have Mick on the panel
Hmm, maybe because he was 41 years old?Does anyone know why Vince made Randy Savage a commentator in his final years in WWF? He was one of the top superstars in the industry, it seems pretty silly that they sidelined him when he still had a good career ahead of him.
What a missed opportunity. They should have called it Blackman and Black Man.
Hmm, maybe because he was 41 years old?
Randy wrestled too.Yet in the same period he brought back 47 year old Nikolai Volkoff, a nearly 40 King Kong Bundy, 45 year old Bob Backlund, 47 year old Luke, 50 year old Butch, 40 year old Anvil, and a few others.
Lugars theme is god awful. Why couldn't WWF give him a decent theme?
Randy wrestled too.
Taker Vs Giant.G at Summer Slam 93 isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I liked how they really made Giant a real legit giant and hard to knock down. Taker had to finish the match with a flying clothsline because I doubt he would have even been able to choke slam him, let alone tombstone. Also Paul Bearer actually gets physical in the match and beats up Harvy Whippleman

Lugar gives Yoko such a poverty body slam.
Were Lugar and Vader ever in the same promotion at the same time?
Never watche 93 ECW. Not sure what to expect. I didn't even know ECW existed in 93 lol. Doesn't get more grimy than this.
A bit off topic, but does anybody see the next WWE game being based off the WWE Network? Loaded with WCW/ECW/WWF legends with a massive roster?
No. Each legend is individually licensed. It would be very cost prohibitive to make a huge roster of guys they don't already have under Legends contracts.
The ECW guys should be rather cheap and I think WWE owns the rights to Dudleys and other gimmicks. Also I'm sure WWE has everyone in the games on legend contracts.
RAW

Wait is Raw 456?
Do they mention why they pick some?
Also does anyone know... what this week's WrestleMania Rewind is?
People talking about the old days got me wondering, why didn't Val Venis get a main event shot while guys like Mr. Ass did? Venis had everything. Good worker, good talker, charisma, powerful cadence, good look, but never got a shot at the main event. He made the Val Venis gimmick work and was great as Chief Morley.
Billy Gunn had a main event run? Was I asleep cause I have no memory of that.

Billy Gunn won King of the Ring 1999 and was slated for a main event feud with Steve Austin for the WWF Title. Austin vetoed it because he felt it would be a step down to work with Gunn and thus, Gunn's push ended. He lost to Rock at Summerslam and randomly reunited with Road Dogg within a month.
Are you sure it was Konnan and not Paul Diamond?
