SuperJerk Posted May 1, 2004 Report 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.
SuperJerk Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Posted May 1, 2004 Way too fucking early. Then go back to bed.
Boner Kawanger Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 A Trish Stratus photoshoot video? I'm in shock.
Only The Strong Survive Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 So it's a combination of Confidential and the Rebound segments played during Raw and Smackdown... fucking lovely
Guest sean pyro Posted May 1, 2004 Report 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.
razazteca Posted May 1, 2004 Report 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.
Jobber of the Week Posted May 1, 2004 Report 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.
Exslade ZX Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 Meh....all it is, is WWE Excess with less nipple pokage . And first post here
JoeDirt Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 We need the old school Superstars show back! Jobber squashes galore and event center news updates!!!!
Guest wrestlingbs Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 They should have started off the first episode of WWE Experience with the ever-popular Rikishi/shooting segment!
The Czech Republic Posted May 1, 2004 Report 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.
Guest Banders Kennany Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 That Rikishi segment was a good segment, I thought.
Guest wrestlingbs Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 That Rikishi segment was a good segment, I thought. It is, but it seems like the play the segment every other week.
Jobber of the Week Posted May 1, 2004 Report 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. THAT'S what the WWE experience is. Sounds like you need the Newsgroups Experience.

My friends and I have always tried to keep it on the DL. We don't discuss it in front of others.
Downhome Posted May 1, 2004 Report Posted May 1, 2004 Ermmm, is this also the Velocity thread? Am I the only one even watching the show?
thuganomics Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Does anyone care? It's just a recap show with some goofy added segments. The only thing the show has going for it is Ivory.
JJMc Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 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. A Fuckin' men.
Guest DeathBecomesYou Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Does anyone care? It's just a recap show with some goofy added segments. The only thing the show has going for it is Ivory. I agree, as long as Ivory is on it the show will have some worth.
Jobber of the Week Posted May 2, 2004 Report 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?
Mearl267 Posted May 2, 2004 Report 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.
Styles Posted May 2, 2004 Report 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.
ChrisMWaters Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Well...Grisham and Ivory seem to have some chemistry together...
AnonymousBroccoli Posted May 2, 2004 Report 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. Divas Magazine advertising.
Guest Trivia247 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 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. unfortunately for the kiddies 9ish am is still dominated by Church folk.
Use Your Illusion Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 Off topic: Y2Jerk quoted me. I'm flattered.
JJMc Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 I thought it was ok. I liked the Times Square setting. They better not move it to that damn studio where they shoot EVERYTHING else, though, or else it will COMPLETELY suck.
Silence Posted May 2, 2004 Report 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.
MillenniumMan831 Posted May 2, 2004 Report Posted May 2, 2004 The piece on Benoit was very nice from what I saw of it.
