Kenny Dykstra Matt Striker Matt Hardy Brooklyn Brawler Evan Bourne Santino Marella I'm guessing it'll be a close call between Hardy and Marella. I voted Santino. Then again, if Matt was going to show TLC1, I may be regretting that. I sure hope Santino's favorite match doesn't actually involve Santino. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 Is it sad I've never looked so forward to a month on 24/7 Online than September and October? Old School month last year was pretty awesome and they're really offering some good stuff for October's voting. Only thing I'm surprised they haven't offered was something for History of IC Title like perhaps to re-profile an older champion. I'm sure they have tons of matches from Savage or Honky Tonk Man they didn't air. Plus they could offer Warrior and Rick Rude on there too. We never did find out why they skipped over their rivalry. Nah, I'm looking forward to Sept/Oct myself. I didn't have internet in Sept 07 (moved on the 1st) but I saw the lineup on my cpu at work and was dying to have DSL installed. And since they've doubled the content, we should be in store for some good stuff. As for the skippage of the IC Title series, here was their response: The video for the episode was corrupt. WWE 24/7 Online had a choice. They could either not air an episode that month or jump ahead to the following show. We decided to jump ahead and as you probably saw, Jack Korpela did a nice job with the transition. Not the best explanation since they could have easily had Korpela retape the 4-6 segments for the 1988-90 ep and reinsert the same matches they were going to air. Dropped ball there.

Not that I'm complaining but you know it's a fact. Unless this is why they won't let us vote multiple times so 13 year olds dont vote for Hardy 5000 times.

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2008 I am. I didn't get cable until late 1994 (WWF Mania w/ the Roadie's debut was the 1st ep of WWF TV I saw on cable . . . in my house). They are definitely fun to watch. Haven't seen the eps posted on 9/1 yet but plan to soon. A lot of the squashes are even a ball . . . Headshrinkers & Quebecers come to mind there. Plus, getting an hour and half of Vince going maniacal every two weeks is worth the price of admission. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
