Kind of like this years...

There's nothing on that list that breaks ***, so they need to offer me a little more then that to get me to order.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Didn't Double A say that match with renegade was his lowest moment in his career?

Except for the "giving it away" part.

I guess this is trying to make up for the rise in price of the webcast.

 

However, if you have high-speed you could download that all for free, or at least a lot less.

[Guest Askewniverse]

Eh, the only extra that even remotely interests me is the Flair interview. The GAB '98 matches aren't good, and GAB '95 isn't exactly a good PPV.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Well both were better than what GAB will be this year.

True, but that's like saying it's better to be kicked in the head than to be kicked in the jimmies.

I think suffering brain damage is worse than crying on the floor for 3 hours...which are the exact symptoms GAB will cause this sunday.

[Lil' Bitch 0]

So will GAB 2004 actually turn out to be WORSE than GAB 99?!!

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I know they were going for a June PPV theme, but I would have rather had the Jericho/Malenko match from Slamboree '98 where Malenko beat him after sneaking his way into the battle royal than the GAB match they're giving away with this.

[Guest Choken One]

They should also put those matches and the subsequent DVD release as well...

 

 

I still wont touch it.

I don't think it was so much wrestling Renegade as it was the fact that he was booked to basically get squashed by him.

[Styles 0]

I can't believe Im even considering this but did it detail how long we could keep the bonus content? If its just a week like the regular PPV webcasts than no way since I have hardly any time, but if we can save them to our computer it might be something I consider...

That's what I meant, I guess it just didn't come out the right way.

I remember Savage v Flair being fairly solid.

 

The rest of the show sucked pretty hard, though.

Well, the opener, and final 2 matches I remember being good, but it sandwiches a shit load of crap.

There's nothing on that list that breaks ***, so they need to offer me a little more then that to get me to order.

I haven't seen the match in a while, but I remember Bret/Bam Bam being near there at the time.

 

However, them giving us that match instead of Bret/Perfect? pfffffffffft

[Dangerous K89 0]

So, all of the extras are streaming content?

 

*gets ready to say, "lame"*

*gets ready to say, "lame"*

Yeah, same question here. If this is for download than it is too good to be true, if it is streaming only then it is too lame to be true!

Oh yeah the question being, "Is this streaming only or do we get to download and keep the stuff?"

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

Or, you can order live and on Pay Per View.....and get jack shit.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Eh...only about 2 or 3 matches I would keep anyway...and I'm still not stupid enough to order this crappy PPV.

 

I just hope it will be better than the 1999 Version

Thanks for the info.

It's too bad, I suppose one could just output it to tape or capture card or whatever but that is the middle man that this lazy fellow just can't be bothered with.

[Guest Loss]

I remember Flair/Luger being pretty good. I'd like to see it again.
