SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 From WWE.com: The WWE Experience World Wrestling Entertainment debuts its new Sunday morning television program on Spike TV, The WWE Experience, this Sunday at 10 a.m./ 9 CT! The one-hour TV-PG program, hosted by Todd Grisham and WWE Diva Ivory, will feature highlights from both Monday Night RAW and SmackDown! The program also will take a behind-the-scenes look at the activities of the WWE Superstars from both television brands. For this week's premiere episode, Ivory & Todd come to you from New York City's Times Square! You'll get exclusive highlights from Trish Stratus & Christian's cover shoot for the May edition of Raw Magazine, and much more! OR would you rather watch... From my Directv menu: The WWE Experience [TV-PG] Sports, wrestling. Chris Benoit goes home and Kurt Angle returns. Series, premiere. Sounds to me like either wwe.com doesn't think fans care about Benoit and Angle, or they yanked those pieces to show a fluff photo shoot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest sean pyro Report post Posted May 1, 2004 As long as I can remember these early weekend wrestling shows have always been "fluff" so why change now? I mean who's up at that hour on sundays anyways other than kids watching their cartoons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 Raw really needs to stop showing the Smackdown Rebound clips. Also leave all of the fluff on location shoots of WWE superstars visiting at military bases and shopping at street venders in forgein countries on the EXPERIENCE. There is no need for this crap to be on Raw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 Here I thought it was on right now, turns out to be tomorrow. Too early. Regardless, Ye Olde Comcaste Boxe says: Debut "Raw" and "SmackDown!" highlights, plus music and features spotlighting WWE superstars. First up: Chris Benoit goes home and Kurt Angle returns. (Pro Wrestling). Further proof, in my mind, that DTV keeps trying to limit show descriptions down to one sentence. It's very irritating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted May 1, 2004 They should have started off the first episode of WWE Experience with the ever-popular Rikishi/shooting segment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 Why does WWE keep saying they're making a new show, and then it's just the same show? Livewire-Superstars-->Excess-->Confidential-->The WWE Experience. You know what the show SHOULD have? Every week, a muscular oaf yells "We're taking your 'Orton Sucks' sign away!," a drunk guy rambles on with random crap like "That's the Bottom Line cause Stone Cold said so!", then you see all your friends pointing and laughing at you, and every four weeks, the show has some guy come and rob you of thirty bucks. THAT'S what the WWE experience is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2004 then you see all your friends pointing and laughing at you I've never seen that part. All of my friends either understand it, ignore it, or were fans themselves in the mid-90s or so. Nobody I know is a fan of it now, because they become so tasteless in their attempts at being edgy and XXXtreme and fresh and in your face and whatever else. , and every four weeks, the show has some guy come and rob you of thirty bucks.

Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 My friends and I have always tried to keep it on the DL. We don't discuss it in front of others. I wouldn't talk about it in front of teachers or girlfriends or people I'm trying to impress, but like I said, everyone I would call friends just doesn't care or understands because they watched at some point in the days prior to Russo. Nobody laughs or makes accusations, and if they bitch you out about it, then they're not really friends, no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mearl267 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 This show would be so cool when I was like, 9. Now-a-days I hardley watch SD!, let alone some recap show with freakin' Ivory hosting it. Give me Pettingale anyday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Styles 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Well, thanks for the reminder. I'll set a tape. 99% sure this will be completely worthless but it seems like whenever WWE first debuts a new weekend recap/variety show (Excess, Livewire, Confidential, etc.) it's at least interesting at first. If it's worthless I'll never think about it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnonymousBroccoli 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 Definitely some stuff I'd question if this show's supposed to be for kids. 10 seconds into the opening titles: Blam! Stacy's ass. 3 out of 4 segments they've recapped so far involve some kind of abuse directed at women, something the CRTC would be hesitant to allow, and in the case of Lita and Kane, didn't.

Silence 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2004 The WWE Experience is basically the old Superstars show with two on-camera hosts (one of which is too hyper and the other is late-90's Michael Cole with Coach's voice), so I don't really care to watch it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
