MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 I remember a 10-man battle royal on WCW Pro the week before WW3 95 in which Dusty was driving Cruise/Larry Z nuts w/ his pick being jobber Nasty Ned. In fairness, the other wrestlers were Frankie Lancaster, Mark Starr, the State Patrol, Dave Sullivan, Disco Inferno, and a couple others of that ilk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danville_Wrestling 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 I remember that battle royal. It was obvious Disco was winning considering the star power in the match although the end was weird with the State Patrol pushing each other and getting mad at each other allowing Disco to win. Tag team partners fighting was just really odd to me at the time since I had just gotten into wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

landy1987 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Looks like they have dropped adding a schedule for the full month as well but if I've understood their preview correctly it looks like they will be airing this full show from South Africa (or if not the full show they are definitely airing Bret vs. Austin) WWF @ Sun City, South Africa - September 14, 1996 Televised on SuperSport - featured Jim Ross & Owen Hart on commentary: Crush vs. Aldo Montoya Yokozuna vs. the Sultan Godwinns vs. New Rockers Savio Vega vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley Marc Mero vs. Davey Boy Smith Bret Hart vs. Steve Austin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 Per Legacy, they're just airing Hart/Austin. The sicko in me really wants to see Yokozuna vs The Sultan. As for SuperStars, they'll be starting at December 1990 as to not have to blur the blue banners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 I've been wanting 24/7 Classics OD to air 1990+ Superstars forever so that's awesome news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2009 I'm actually relieved they're not starting at 1986. I really don't feel like going through the road to WrestleMania III all over again. The archive is updated. Always great to hear Stevie Ray doing commentary (Storm/Konnan). Unfortunately, I didn't catch him referencing yaks. Speaking of which (commentary, not yaks), I got a chuckle out of this Monsoon/Heenan exchange during Tito's entrance for his match vs Flair . . . Heenan (half-serious, half-smartass tone): He's always in great shape, knows how to wrestle, knows how to fight, does his homework, championship caliber Monsoon: Now you're going to bury him Heenan: I'm not going to bury him . . . just don't eat dinner at his house, you'll get heartburn. Hart/Tiger Mask was pretty good. Started out a little slow but picked up nicely by the end. One of those matches you see listed on Cawthon's site and wonder how in the world did that play out. Striker imploring the WWE Universe to find out more about Misawa on wwe.com made me laugh. And my o my, was Vince ever PUMPED to start the 5/23 Raw. Whenever he blurts out the word FUN, I smile. The double press slam spot LOD pulled off on Hogan/Tenryu was quite the sight. Hawk looked freaky w/ the bladejob mixed w/ the facepaint. Granted, they went all black & white whenever the camera was tight on the blood. I don't actively like it but it doesn't bother me as much as most I'd imagine. ------------------------------- W/ the spirit of the earlybird getting the worm, here's the 2/9 update a day early: SmackDown - Carlito vs. Rey Mysterio October 14, 2004 | Approx. run time: 13 mins. We head to England for a more recent match between Carlito and Rey Mysterio. The United States Championship is on the line. Who will board their plane back to the States with the Championship? Tokyo Dome - Mr. Perfect/Rick Martel vs. King Haku/Jumbo Tsuruta April 13, 1990 | Approx. run time: 12 mins. Matt Striker and Josh Mathews return to commentary for another memorable encounter from Tokyo. Will Hall of Famer Mr. Perfect lead his team to victory or can Japanese Legend Jumbo Tsuruta get a win in front of his home crowd? Bonus Feature: Alternate commentary from Matt Striker and Josh Mathews Home Video - Rockers vs. Rougeaus October 13, 1989 | Approx. run time: 16 mins. Witness a fantastic tag team encounter from Paris. Both teams will need the crowd’s support in this match, but only one will win them over. As you will see, the WWE Universe will be part of this match like never before! IWGP World Champion The Great Muta vs. Masahiro Chono January 4, 1993 | Approx. run time: 15 mins. Catch this great match from the WCW Japan Supershow. While there’s been limited exposure of these two Japanese stars in the past on WWE.com Legacy, you can now relive one of their most classic battles in Japan.

Perhaps this voting is a way to get people to check out Legacy who might not know about it? For the life of me I've spoken to 5 friends telling them how I watch this stuff and they never even heard of WWE.com Legacy and these are people who definitely go to wwe.com everyday. But I'm not going to complain too much for them posting duplicates if they are upgraded videos since they're doubling Raw and Wrestling Challenge that month. It seems as if Legacy knows there might be duplicates so they're being smart by offering double shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWEwrestling 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2009 WWE is horrible about promoting their products (WWE 24/7 Classics On Demand, WWE.com Legacy, and DVD's). Their DVD products are getting short air time. I remember they us to spend like 1-2 weeks advertising even before a DVD would come out. Just like their PPV's, they're popping too many DVD's out at once. WWE Legends Of Wrestling got little advertisement time and I figure WWE Saturday Night's Main Event DVD will do the same. I know they're doing it so they can make more money, but their fans barely even know what WWE 24/7 Classics On Demand or WWE.com Legacy is. I think mostly because the younger fans don't really care for the old school stuff. Now, if it featured the current product (John Cena, Jeff Hardy, Batista etc), then I think they'd care. That's the sense I get from people who subscribe (young fans) to my MySpace page. I've been a member of WWE.com Legacy since it first debuted back in July 2004. I think it was July 2004. It was known as WWE Match Jukebox. Then it went from that to WWE 24/7 Online to WWE.com Legacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
