Legends House this Thursday folks! I guess right after NXT.
Isn't NXT at 9PM? They should put Legends' House at 8.

Im enjoying the hell out of these old 1993 RAW's. I watch them every Saturday morning, drinking my coffee before I hit the gym

i don't know, wouldn't most interested people have bought in with a free week and wrestlemania? I hope it makes the target and think this is the future, but I can see it slowing down dramatically.
We've hit 1994 Raws!
Body slam or hip lock? You be the judge.
I watched this era of PPVs just this weekend. Noice!
Shitty, but a bodyslam.

Luger slamming Yoko is somehow the only memory I have of that entire era. I feel like I watched it on Superstars on Saturday morning or something while changing channels, and it's stuck.

I really want the WWE Network to succeed. Big time.
What sticks out most to me is Kamala chasing Kimchee in the balcony during the battle royal. It makes me so sad.

The fact that happened on my birthday made me so happy when I was a kid.
Body slam or hip lock? You be the judge.
I remember when he came in on a helicopter wearing a red white and blue shirt and the crowd gave zero fucks about Lex Luger showing up. Before they knew it was Luger they were chanting Hogan.
Yeah. WWF at the time pushed the living hell out of Luger. But he was occasional and mild ME material, at best.
That was such a shitty finish. One of the worst.
Vince in the back was like, "Ok ok ok ok...send ALL the guys out there to celebrate so it looks like something actually happened!!! GO DAMMIT!!!!!!"
me too!

Because Yoko was an adult man who ate what he wanted.

Me too. I know a few people who don't watch wrestling anymore (like myself) that got a subscription. I don't know any of the wrestlers really from the last 15 years but it's worth it for the back catalog. Slowly trying to get into the newer stuff.
I finally got around to watching the 2014 Hall of Fame last night. I intended to have it on while falling asleep and ended up staying awake through the whole thing. Very good Hall of Fame program. Kinda want to watch it again.
I don't know where to start to get into the new stuff; part of me wants to just start with Last Monday's Raw. Gotta start somewhere.
That turn was legit OUTTA NOWHERE. There was zero foreshadowing or build up whatsoever. In fact, the last thing Lex had been seen doing was going to a time limit draw with Tatanka at KOTR. After the match, he asked for more time only to knock Tatanka out with his forearm plate. And the next time you saw him, he was coming in on a helicopter dressed up like a flag, shoving Heenan, and now is a super face who travels the country in a tour bus and is super patriotic.
I would start with the Raw after WM.
When are they gonna add more Attitude era Raws? I don't really care about the wrestling but the main event storylines were so hilarious. Just watched the Undertaker/Stephanie wedding and the pop when Austin's music hit was amazing. I really want to watch the beginning and end of every Attitude era Raw.

I need the network on my smart TV.
Says it's coming up there. Depends on your model I'd guess as they'll put it out on more popular ones first.

I watched part of a match during WM XXX but couldn't stick around for too long. One thing I noticed is that the commentary isn't nearly as good as it used to be. I was probably spoiled by Gorilla/Jesse; Gorilla/Heenan; Jim Ross/King.
But yeah, I'll start with WM XXX and check out the recent Raws. How quickly do Raws get posted on the network after airing on TV?

You were definitely spoiled, commentary is at a pretty dark time right now. "Tolerable" is a good run.
Raws are a couple months delayed due to TV and negotiations and such.

Crap. How do I start with Raws from a few weeks ago then? Are they frequently on demand? Thanks for the info man, and too bad about the state of commentary
Also, I enjoyed the times when you were doing play by play. Get back down there and show the others how it's done.

It's generally considered acceptable on this forum to find Raw episodes on streaming video sites because they're free television and there's no real other way to watch them unless you wait for them to pop up on the Network three months later, but I guess it's technically illegal. It's not optimal in a lot of ways, ideally they would get the delay down to 24 hours with the new TV deals but I don't think that's happening either.
Sadly, it's what I have to do. I d/l them if I really wanna keep up. Can't watch them on TV, however...only my tablet.
Live RAWs and SDs are the only thing that are keeping this Network from being, say with me folks...
"Absolutely....Perfect!"

A 2 hour version of Raw is on Hulu Plus the next morning.

Gah, cancelled my Hulu Plus because I rarely used it and hated paying for ads. But...they might get me with this. I'd rather pay an extra few bucks a month to have Raws on the network, but I imagine for the WWE to commit to it that much there'd be a more significant price bump than that.

When are they getting the old Saturday Night's Main Event episodes?
Later in the year. Other content on the schedule to go up this year: Nitro, Monday Night War, Clash of the Champions, and something called Rock N Roll Wrestling. I assume not the cartoon and more like compilations from 1984-1986.
Please god, be the cartoon.

The problem is...
1. A lot of people probably only purchased it for Wrestlemania...
2. If they signed up in February at launch, the six month commitment ends just after Summerslam (that sneaky WWE). If people signed up just for Wrestlemania, then the subscriber amount will likely plummet after that.

I don't know how the PPV figures looked like in the past. Does Wrestlemania draw that many more viewers than the Survivor Series or Royal Rumble? Growing up, those two were always the must watch ones for me on PPV. I'd rent Wrestlemania when I was a kid if I didn't have another friend already getting it on PPV at their place.
Those anecdotes of mine mean nothing, just wondering. Some wrestlemanias were definitely must watches depending on the card, but I always loved the gimmick of survivor series and Royal Rumble.
