I was actually thinking just that while watching SummerSlam.

Sorry but 24/7 is serious business.

They 24/7 commercials showcase segments that are actually on the channel at the time instead of weekly history blurbs that aren't even on the channel like they used to do. I really love this added push for people to order 24/7, it's really quite the great service. Why were people still asking what D'Lo did to earn a title shot? They immediately rescinded the "title defense" comment from Cole when Lawler called him an idiot and Cole apologized for being too "into the moment". The Unforgiven match is confusing as they've said both "the match can have multiple title changes" and "the end of the match signifies the official champion". Hopefully, like people have assumed but with Adamle you never know what he's supposed to be saying, the deal is nothing counts until the end.

The 2001 Jericho edits are the best just because of the huge change of direction that occurs. Rhyno get's Irish whipped away form the set than towards it in the same shot.

The thread's closed, but here's a follow-up on the odd story about Jeff Hardy's neck from the F4W Newsletter:

I'd also like to point out the Ric Flair theme issue was going on a lot with 2002/2003 DVD releases as I recall and was an edit on the original issue of SummerSlam 2002, so they likely just reused that.

Not enough of you have Bionic Commando: Rearmed.

What's this about Niger? My classmates seemed to think that was quite the hilarious name for a country back in grade school.

This was a chore to read through. Thank you for being worthwhile, RedJed. You may smoke things I don't approve of, but if it helps you be positive and think clearly instead of infesting threads with dreck and hate, so be it. Dude even tries to make sense out of TNA! Anyway, this was a good show. I wasn't looking forward to it and had no intentions of ordering it, but this morning I realized with a router and what not I have the power to watch downloaded videos on my TV via the Xbox, so hooray for that. Whoever made the comment about it looking like Cena was about to hit a flying rana, I thought the same thing - that was great. I think Meltzer went a bit overboard with his feelings on the HIAC match but it WAS good. HHH/Khali was a miracle and JBL/Punk was much better than I thought it would be.

I got a wireless router last week and am officially in the game! Sign me up for TSM VC Secret Santa 2008.

I remember him working at Uncensored 99... I don't even remember the opponent, but at the time I thought it was dreadfully dull. Edit: It was against Billy Kidman and was 15 minutes long. I think at that point, whenever I caught WCW, I found it really odd they'd give midcarders such a long match. I remember seeing a Benoit/Malenko vs. Duncam Jr./Partner match that the latter team was in no way going to win, but it seemingly went on forever. Maybe I'd enjoy these matches now... or maybe they really were boring.

Petrie's recaps are also the ones at The Other Arena (until CRZ takes over) so we're all reading the same thing. I actually read them as a review of the show more than a "what was edited" guide, but it does work both ways.

I like people speculating on "the big spot" when there hasn't been one in a Cell match in almost 8 years.

Jericho/Mikey was fun while it lasted too.

That's actually a good point but I don't have them on Cogeco either. Then again, I didn't get those free Mania matches either so I don't know how that works. I DO know that because of the odd schedules, the Shorties change over tonight.

I really like No Mercy 99. I remember liking Backlash too.

The Sunflower schedule lists them as showing up on August 21st.

Meltzer's wording makes it sound like he injured himself by not showing up for a Best Buy autograph signing, but yeah.

Cogeco sent me TWO postcards telling me to order this show (and reminding me that September is Forever Flair month in WWE 24/7). One I can ignore, but TWO? It would be downright rude to not order the show now.

It's a shame Martel and Hart were never at the same level where they could have had an extended feud (Bret always seemed to be a rung above where The Model character was in the early 90s). A few non-televised IC title matches in 1992 was as close as they came (from what I recall). I actually remember watching the clips of the build-up angle to SummerSlam 92 where Michaels cost Martel his match with Bret - I was actually thinking "Hart's in the Boston Crab! The Model was going to win!". I was always a Ric Martel fan.

Second best Simpsons line ever. #1 either being "Delicious wine?" or "With good cause!". Seriously, THOSE are the lines I love.

Are you sure? The thread title says "proved real".

Yeah.

That Goldberg edit was on the original SummerSlam 2003 DVD too. Big difference there is not only was St. Anger kept, but they had a "thank you" at the end AND the music video. No loss though. Marvelous Marc Mero's theme is awesome, though so that's too bad but really, this sort of thing is not the end of the world.

This Colbert vs. Canton deal is some excellent business. I love the reactions of 'shocked' Canton residents when their version of Canton gets "attacked". Reminds me of a Word segment that listed Windsor, Ontario as the worst place in the world. It made the front page of our paper with comments from the mayor and upset citizens.
