Lil' Bitch Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 I have to purchase it online to see those?!! *groans
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 (Cries) Someone buy the webcast for me to see this stuff.

spman Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 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 Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 Didn't Double A say that match with renegade was his lowest moment in his career?

AndrewTS Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 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 Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 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.

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 Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 So will GAB 2004 actually turn out to be WORSE than GAB 99?!!
LaParkaYourCar Posted June 22, 2004 Report Posted June 22, 2004 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 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 They should also put those matches and the subsequent DVD release as well... I still wont touch it.
Enigma Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Posted June 23, 2004 Didn't Double A say that match with renegade was his lowest moment in his career? 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 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 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...

Guest MikeSC Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 The 1995 Great American Bash Watch the 1995 Great American Bash in its entirety, including Sting vs. Meng, The Renegade vs. Arn Anderson, and Ric Flair vs. Randy Savage in the main event. A show so bad, they're actually giving it away. I remember Savage v Flair being fairly solid. The rest of the show sucked pretty hard, though. -=Mike
Enigma Posted June 23, 2004 Author Report Posted June 23, 2004 Just for reference: WCW Great American Bash 1995 June 18, 1995 Dayton, Ohio @ The Hara Arena -- Alex Wright defeated Brian Pillman -- Dave Sullivan defeated Diamond Dallas Page in an Arm Wrestling Match -- Jim Duggan defeated Sgt. Craig Pittman by DQ -- Harlem Heat defeated Bunkhouse Buck & Dick Slater -- The Renegade defeated Arn Anderson to win the WCW Television Title -- WCW Tag Champs The Nasty Boys defeated The Blue Bloods -- Sting defeated Meng to win the vacant WCW United States Title -- Ric Flair defeated Randy Savage
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Well, the opener, and final 2 matches I remember being good, but it sandwiches a shit load of crap.
BHK Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 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 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 So, all of the extras are streaming content? *gets ready to say, "lame"*
griffinmills Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 So, all of the extras are streaming content? *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 Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 Or, you can order live and on Pay Per View.....and get jack shit.
BHK Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 according to the new section on WWE.com, the extras will be available for veiwing from 6.25.04 until 7.5.04 10 days. Full infromation at: http://www.wwe.com/ppv/
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted June 23, 2004 Report Posted June 23, 2004 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
griffinmills Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 according to the new section on WWE.com, the extras will be available for veiwing from 6.25.04 until 7.5.04 10 days. Full infromation at: http://www.wwe.com/ppv/ 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 Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I remember Flair/Luger being pretty good. I'd like to see it again.
