EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2007 I'm not surprised that WWE cut out that footage since Buffer owns the TM on his spiel, and in and of itself it's not much, but it just seems to fit in with WWE's "let's change things to save money instead of presenting an accurate depiction of history" mentality. If Michael Buffer allows them to have his footage gratis in order to present accurate history, that's great. If you want to charge money, then WWE has no obligation.

Guest Report post Posted October 1, 2007 Hardcore Heaven 1997 is freaking horrendous. And yeah, I reviewed it, so I'll get out my one and only shameless blog plug, cause it's in the sig... Extremely disappointed to see how bad it was. The most uninteresting of carwrecks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2007 I was really let down with RVD vs Snow. My favourite match (which wasn't really much of a match) was Bigelow vs. Spike, but I have a soft spot for the Dreamer/Lawler match due to the Jake Roberts spot.

Guest krash9924 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 I really don't know why but the Snitsky Clips in the shorties section are pretty entertaining. The Sting-Vampiro match was bad but the annoucing made it seem alot worse. I rewatched the match with the sound muted and the match doesn't seem nearly as bad. (Why were they so shocked to see some get burned again? Wasn't that the point of the match?) The theme for the month is pretty good because the shorties section so far has been pretty fun. The Butcher-Brody Cage was fun till Fritz became Superman and ruined it. The Army of Darkness is always entertaining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks bp. I was going to post that but the browser settings at work are awful and due to proxy and network admin priverlage issues there is nothing I can do about it. I suppose I could have just done a direct C&P but I like being fancy. On that note, since I don't have the correct flash settings to view it until I get home, what's on tap for the second hald of the month? Also, good call whoever pinned this (I'll just assume Al).

Nate 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 Halloween Havoc 1989 has won the October Pick Your Big Ones, and November's theme is called THANKSGIVING FEAST which will include Survivor Series 1990 and 1995 and the Pick Your Big Ones you can vote on are Survivor Series 1987 (Very First one) and 1994 and in an odd choice Starrcade 1987 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 Woah woah... 90 AND 95?! THANK YOU, 24/7 programming people. I have neither of those and love them both (1990 is more of a nostalgic love of old school Survivor Series). I recorded 1987 last year and 1993 in July, so now 90 and 95 will join Survivor Series events I actually have a copy of. I wish Cogeco would show the PYBOs but that's another issue (maybe I'd be able to get the 94 Series if they did). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also features the one and only time, if I remember correctly, where the survivors in each match met in an elimination main event. It was Warrior, Hogan, and Tito vs. a whole lot of heels.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2007 Ooooh, 24/7 Online gets the Chamber of Horrors in a glorious 750k stream October 15th along with Wrestling Hotbeds: Mexico, Rock vs Hurricane, and other stuff. This episode of History of the IC title sounds really good, too. I'm watching Raw #3 right now... it seems bizarre that it starts with a notice about it being pre-recorded. Why would Vince admit that? Almost all wrestling was pre-recorded, it seems a bit weird to just up and say it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would Vince admit that? Almost all wrestling was pre-recorded, it seems a bit weird to just up and say it. The History of the IC Title was really really good. Probably the best thing WWE.COM has offered. I'm even starting to like that host Jack a little bit. I've only seen the Steamboat/Savage match from WM3. I think their match from Superstars and in Canada was really really good too. They are probably one of the few wrestlers who can have multiple matches and it never gets old. I also checked out the My Favorite Match since I don't catch Smackdown often. It was a nice touch having an interview with Chavo Guerrero before the match. Hopefully Paul London picks next month one of his matches against Jimmy Wang Yang (whoever he was back in the day) from Velocity. Those were some of the MOTY in my opinion. He'll probably pick his match with Kendrick winning the tag titles which was pretty good too. Oh and by the way, they say that introducing is the first casket match but didn't Undertaker wrestle Ultimate Warrior in casket matches earlier? I know tons of questions but since I don't get VOD at my house this is my only outlet to old WWE shows! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spman 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2007 Has anyone brought up the fact that 24/7 has almost exhausted the entire run of Tuesday Night Titans? I'm not sure exactly how long it ran, but they're coming pretty close to the end probably by the end of this year. Hopefully they finally start airing 90's era Superstars or All American Wrestling in it's place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 In 1997, I think I thought HBK called Bret a "marked man", but I had also just learned the term "mark" so I was questioning what he said. That is a bizarre promo, though. It is a good promo from Bret but it is a bit long and could have been cut down, though "I think it was a gay magazine" is still funny, but HBK's part is just plain weird. Who is he of all people to make a "shoot" comment about Bret refusing to job titles? I don't ever recall that being a problem with Bret around this time.

Diamonddust 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 Didn't he make it clear he'd drop the title to anyone but HBK at some point prior to Montreal? If I remember correctly, as we got closer to Montreal... Bret said he would have dropped the belt to Shawn... just not in Canada. Still, I remember others saying that was a bogus excuse because of how many American born champions have had to drop the belt in their "home" country.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2007 Eh I didn't mind HH 97. The production and lighting are bleh of course but at least the first half was a pretty fun show if you're into old ECW. Bear in mind with RVD that he wasn't quite The Whole F'N Show in 1997. But really though, I can't hate that PPV. It had RVD and Sabu beating the shit out of ICP, which was hilarious. And yay, I am glad to get Survivor Series 1990 and 95 since I don't have either. I haven't seen the 1990 show in 15 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
