WWE 24/7 Discussion Thread - December 2007

Recommended Posts

Still no full schedule but at least WWE.com does weekly updates now:

 

DECEMBER 2007: SEASON'S BEATINGS

All month long, WWE 24/7 On Demand celebrates “Season’s Beatings” with a look at the most memorable holiday matches and moments in wrestling history.

 

 

LEGENDS

WWE Hall of Fame: Jesse Ventura – Few WWE Superstars have had careers as fascinating or as diverse at Jesse Ventura. Follow “The Body” from his early days in the AWA to Superstardom both in the ring and on the microphone in the WWE. See how Ventura translated his brash attitude and incredible popularity all the way to becoming Governor of the State of Minnesota. Relive classic matches, interviews and Jesse’s 2004 WWE Hall of Fame induction.

 

History of the WWE Championship – For almost half a century, the goal of every WWE Superstar has been to capture the WWE Championship. Relive the incredible history of this WWE title and the men who have chased it through this collection of incredible matches. Follow the great champions of the 70s, like Pedro Morales, Bruno Sammartino, Superstar Billy Graham and Bob Backlund. Watch the dawn of Hulkamania, as Hulk Hogan battles the likes of the Iron Sheik, Andre the Giant and “Macho Man” Randy Savage. See the new breed of Champions in the ‘90s, including Bret “Hitman” Hart, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Triple H. Plus, see the Superstars of the new century, like John Cena, Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle, fight for the Gold.

 

 

THE BIG ONES

WCW StarrCade 1998 – WCW’s marque event is jam-packed with action. Goldberg puts the WCW Championship, and his incredible undefeated streak, on the line when he battles Kevin Nash. Ric Flair takes on Eric Bischoff. Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman and Juventud Guerrera square off in a Triangle Match for the WCW Cruiserweight title. Plus, Diamond Dallas Page faces The Giant and much more.

 

WWE Old School – Two (2) new and rarely-seen cards from classic wrestling venues. Head back to the Meadowlands in 1984 as Hulk Hogan defends the WWE Championship vs. Big John Studd, “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka takes on Cowboy Bob Orton and Roddy Piper hosts a special edition of “Piper’s Pit”. Then it’s the day after Christmas 1987 at Madison Square Garden as the Honky Tonk Man defends the WWE Intercontinental title against “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat faces “Ravishing” Rick Rude.

 

 

TV CLASSICS

WWE Tribute to the Troops: Christmas from Baghdad – WWE Superstars head to Iraq in December 2006 to entertain the troops and support their incredible efforts. WWE Champion John Cena takes on Edge. WWE Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy battles Umaga. The Undertaker in action, an appearance by the gorgeous WWE Divas and much more.

 

Raw Christmas Special ’97 – Celebrate the Holidays WWE-style with a wild night on RAW. Santa Claus comes to town, but it’s Stone Cold Steve Austin who decides who’s been naughty or nice. Triple H and DX deliver a special Christmas treat. The Undertaker battles The Rock and much more.

 

TNT Holiday Special – WWE Hall of Famer Gene Okerlund looks back at classic Holiday Moments on Tuesday Night Titans including a trip to Christmas past with “Ebenezer” Piper, cookie making with Captain Lou Albano and George “The Animal” Steele, gift ideas with Jesse “The Body” Ventura and much more.

 

 

SHORTIES

All month long leading to Christmas Day, check in each day on WWE 24/7 and see Superstars, Divas and Legends deliver the gift of their favorite matches. Your “Shorties Santas” include Triple H, John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, CM Punk, Mr. Kennedy, Pat Patterson and Maria.

 

I always am happy to see a WCW PPV in Big Ones even if I end up dissapointed. This "daily shortie" gimmick of favourite matches seems promising too.

 

The 1997 Holiday Raw was shown last year and naturally was nowhere near as good as my memory of it as a teenager put it, but it was still a fun nostalgic trip. The Championship DVD is a nice treat to those of us without it (me) and a kick in the ass to those who bought it (alkeiper).

Must have JUST put it up, I checked before I posted and it wasn't there. I'll look it over and do my usual Weekly Updates schedule that everyone ignores and says "What's new this week?".

 

Armageddon 2003? Weak. A 1992 PrimeTime Wrestling? Awesome! That would be one of the last episodes too.

Hopefully Starcade '92 wins the PYBO poll for December, because the only things worthwhile this month (aside from the monthly shows) are Starcade '98 & History of WWE Championship. The Tribute to the Troops show is the '06 one so I've already seen it and same goes for the Raw '97 Christmas show. I'm just wondering what the "Gifts" are.

I have a bad feeling this different format of adding content is going to confuse cable companies and result in too many technical difficulties. I am pretty pumped for the 25 gifts (assuming they are uploaded correctly by Cogeco) but we'll see. I'm looking forward to these Raws and the Christmas Primetime. One of the main reasons I didn't get the Championship DVD is that a lot of the matches I already had on DVD but it will be nice to have them collected on this program for me to watch on 24/7. I hope they keep the portion of the DVD I heard showed every title change they had footage for.

I wonder if this means they're holding the next episode of the Legends Roundtable until January or they just forgot to put it in the schedule. I'm highly looking forward to it since it's going to cover the old territory system.

I agree this may throw the cable companies off, hopefully there wont be any issues this month

 

I'm interested to see the January theme, I want some early Royal Rumbles

I think this is a pretty awesome schedule. However, I am hoping Starrcade 92 wins the PPV of the Month...

Here's what the un-obvious have in store...

 

ECW has a Mikey and Cactus vs. The Eliminators match, and a Rey vs. Juventud match, which instantly makes the show worth watching.

 

The NWA show heading says that the rivalry between Garvin and Flair explodes...

 

The East West Connection vs. The High Flyers is obviously from the AWA, from 8/30/81, and it's very short.

 

Ventura vs. Ivan Putski is from MSG on 8/25/84.

 

The WCCW show has King Kong Bundy and the Great Kabuki vs. Bugsy McGraw and Al Madril, and Michael Hayes vs. Jose Lothario.

 

Yeah, that's everything that isn't easy to find out.

Should have known Rey vs Juvi was on that ECW show since I just watched it yesterday (though the DVD graphic said "November 1996" - I knew that was wrong so I checked the jacket, and it said February 96... might have even had the date (2nd or 4th).

 

Diamondust: Sunflower never / rarely lists the Roundtable schedule. Much like Cogeco, I don't know if they even get them.

Oh god, Armageddon 2003???? Why on earth would they want to show such an utter piece of shit PPV?? We have Evolution basically winning all the belts on that show, including HHH burying both Kane and Goldberg (in GB's case I didn't really mind) and the beginning of Orton's push from hell when he beat RVD for the IC belt. Add to it that my brother got really sick with the flu while watching that PPV and that night was horrible.

 

As far as the Big Ones go, I have Starrcade 1992 from a previous 24/7 airing. Got the DX PPV from a previous airing. And Armageddon 2004 likely sucks so much I wouldn't want to see it.

I'm watching the History of the WWE Championship on Legends and the second match is Sammartino vs. Killer Kowolski. Jesus, what a brutally boring clusterfuck this was, imo. Was Killer always this way in the ring? Guy was slow, plodding, and looked like he didn't even know what to do.

On the new NWA show, the Barbarian faces the Big Bossman who is wrestling as a jobber, Ray Taylor. Random and awesome.

 

He'll appear as a jobber for a little while before he is taken off television and then repackaged as Big Bubba Rogers. Jim Cornette said that after he took a slingshot suplex from Tully Blanchard, Dusty decided to do something with him.

Bruno wasn't the greatest guy for Kowalski to work with. I have a match with Kowalski and Buddy Rogers from 1961 on tape and it's a high energy 11-minute brawl.

 

Kowalski was also nearing the end of his career at that point.

Armageddon 2004 is not a good show, but (according to my memory) Rey/RVD vs. Dupree/Kenzo was a good tag team match (seriously) and the 4 way main event was good too (of course people were mad 3 years ago that JBL was still champ). I think Funaki also wins the CW title on that show.

 

Shorties spoilers: Watching the preview show, it appears that some of the 25 Shorties will include the always fun Patterson vs. Slaughter boot camp match, Rock vs Hogan, Hogan vs Bockwinkle (they actually showed a program graphic for this one, the rest I'm going off of 1 second clips), Savage vs. Steamboat, Steamboat vs. Flair (in the 1 second it was on screen, looked like the Wrestlewar match... makes sense as I believe that is HHH's favourite match).

Ok, I was thinking that Kowalksi's age had something to do with what I saw, because I heard so much about him. Thanks for the input.

RVD/Rey vs. Kenzo/Dupree might be decent enough, but I can only wonder how cool that RVD/Rey team could have been had they teamed longer and had any decent guys to wrestle.

 

Isn't that also the PPV where Cena absolutely destroys Jesus?

I usually just FF through it to look for clips of what to expect where we're not quite sure what to expect (like the Shorties). It was a much more revealing show between the time period that WWE.com removed their monthly schedule (side note: it only took them two weeks to give up on doing timely updates of their new weekly schedule. Oh well) and I knew that Sunflower site existed.

It's funny how in Armageddon 2003, the crowd noise for Booker T's entrance and Stacy Kiebler (I think it was her, I forget actually) are exactly the same. Usually I don't catch piped in crowd noise because I really don't pay attention to it when I'm watching wrestling, but this really stood out.

 

Stoked about the WWE Championship History, since I thought about getting the DVD just for my collection about a month ago, but decided not to.

I'm watching the History of the WWE Championship on Legends and the second match is Sammartino vs. Killer Kowolski. Jesus, what a brutally boring clusterfuck this was, imo. Was Killer always this way in the ring? Guy was slow, plodding, and looked like he didn't even know what to do.

Bruno wasn't the greatest guy for Kowalski to work with. I have a match with Kowalski and Buddy Rogers from 1961 on tape and it's a high energy 11-minute brawl.

 

Kowalski was also nearing the end of his career at that point.

 

 

Ok, I was thinking that Kowalksi's age had something to do with what I saw, because I heard so much about him. Thanks for the input.

 

It was definitely near the end of his career. Also, Kowalski was a vegetarian and that caused him to lose a lot of his muscle mass.
