bp2007 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 Ah ok. For me, there's just a Legacy logo w/ a blank page. Here's an article about Legacy: http://www.wwe.com/subscriptions/legacy/exclusives/legacy . . . w/ a video from Joe E Styles. I must admit, for the price of two dvds per year, it's a steal. I guess this is no longer wwe.com's hidden secret? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bp2007 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 Wow I didn't believe there would be any effort in 24/7 Online when they changed the name but I was thankfully wrong. They've reorganized the categories and started ordering matches in the pay per view sections which is nice. I would love to see them do that with the Superstars and watch some Bret Hart and HBK matches in order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 They got a head start by hacking out Brock's section. But yeah, they've done a good job so far cleaning up their sections. One thing I'd like to see would be upgrading one 300k video to 750k each day. They did restore Bock/Hennig's ESPN match in the AWA section. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadylpete 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2008 The Kurt Angle section was also removed. Earlier today I wanted to watch that Summerslam Spectacular from 1993 but it looked like it was removed. Luckily someone posted a link to it in this topic, a couple pages back. As for the reorganizing, THANK GOD! I agree about the 300k videos, they need to start updating the quality on those.

landy1987 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 Has anyone seen the Andre-Studd match on the Philadelphia 1983 show? Studd has Andre in a front facelock for literally 10 minutes or longer on the mat. Was Andre tired or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2008 I remember that facelock was on YouTube. I love how Monsoon/Graham had the balls to promote future live events during it. The strange thing is that if you take about 7 minutes out of that facelock, the match was actually a lot of fun. It was also odd to see a lot of short matches (Snuka/Afa, Rocky/Sika, & even Bellomo/Sharpe). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2008 Ep 18 of Challenge was actually a Prime Time-style 1986 year in review show. Why they couldn't air it, I don't know, but whatever. A charming thing about these six-man matches on Challenge is that they'll have three stars vs two stars and a shlub (Spot and SD Jones representing the ceiling-staring role). W/ Bastion Booger co-hosting Raw, I'm surprised they didn't drop a "Make sure you pick this Raw" line. IIRC, that MSG show has the epic Haku/Barbarian vs Kato/Fuji battle. It's really sad if that MSG show was really unanimously chosen. I guess they got both of my votes and it won 2 to zero to zero to zero. EDIT - Updated the master list on Page 6. They dubbed out the theme for the 4/91 SNME and dubbed in Nickelback's cover of Elton John's Saturday Night song. For as much as I hate Nickelback, the tune actually works. I'm much surprised it was actually cheaper to use that theme over the original theme they were using for the 1988-91 eps. Personally, I'd have gone with Def Leppard's Saturday Night High & Dry. And I'll give you one big guess who got booked for the 12/21 ep of Challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett Wolverton 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2008 I used to love how RAW would hype the following week's "main event" no matter how awful it could be. It'd always go something like, "Doink the Clown.....this evil jester has been terrorizing the World Wrestling __________ for months bringing tears when he should be bringing laughter. Iron Mike Sharpe......well he tries. Doink the Clown battles Iron Mike Sharpe, next week, on RAW." Ok, maybe I kid a little, but that's how it always seemed. They'd make the simplest match look like it should be main eventing Madison Square Garden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'd make the simplest match look like it should be main eventing Madison Square Garden. I think the silliest one I ever saw was for a Duke Droese vs Jerry Lawler match from Raw in late 1994. Though there's always an extra mark out factor when it actually does turn out to be a swank matchup. Case in point when they were hyping a Harts vs Headshrinkers match the week before RR94. Obviously, that didn't take place. EDIT - Finally, here are the cards for the arena shows for October . . . WWE Live Event from Philadelphia - 6/4/1983 Salvatore Bellomo vs Iron Mike Sharpe (Gary Michael Cappetta showing how much of a trooper he is) Jimmy Snuka vs Afa WWF Championship - Bob Backlund vs Ivan Koloff Andre the Giant vs Big John Studd (W/ a front face lock that clocked in at just shy of a Super Bowl halftime show) Rocky Johnson vs Sika Madison Square Garden: 5/18/1987 Sam Houston vs Terry Gibbs Paul Roma & Jim Powers vs Don Muraco & Bob Orton (Unfortunately, pre-Crank it Up) Koko B Ware vs Dangerous Danny Davis (Tell me you didn't see that Brain. I happened to be looking at this bird over here making some noise, I saw the pin though.) Lanny Poffo vs Dave Barbie WWF Championship - Hulk Hogan vs King Harley Race WWF Women's Championship - Fabulous Moolah vs Debbie Combs WWE Live Event from Madison Square Garden - 7/1/1991 Shane Douglas vs Dino Bravo (Apparently hiding from the mafia by not dying his hair blonde. As for Douglas, I wonder how long he had to putz around the ring before they finally introduced him) Ricky Steamboat vs Paul Roma Jimmy Snuka vs Berzerker Barber Shop w/ Randy Savage WWF Tag Titles - Nasty Boys vs Hart Foundation Greg Valentine vs Warlord Jake Roberts vs Earthquake Haku & Barbarian vs Kato & Mr Fuji (Complete w/ Fuji punking out Heenan on three occasions. Fuji's shady grin after the 1st innocent salt toss is gold Jerry, gold!) Bodybag Match - Ultimate Warrior vs Undertaker Saturday Night's Main Event 11/28/1987 George Steele vs Danny Davis Randy Savage vs Bret Hart WWF Championship - Hulk Hogan vs King Kong Bundy Bam Bam Bigelow vs Hercules (Can anyone else understand what the fuck Bigelow was saying during his pre and/or between match promos?) Saturday Night's Main Event 4/27/1991 Ultimate Warrior vs Sgt Slaughter WWF Tag Titles - Nasty Boys vs Bushwhackers 20 Man Battle Royal Bret Hart vs Ted DiBiase Tito Santana vs Mountie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 For what it's worth, here is a preview of upcoming months: In regards to upcoming months: -November: Stables and Survivors is the theme. We're going to look at many classic Survivor Series matches as well many popular factions in Sports Entertainment. -December: Well December is going to be a mystery for now. All I can say is there will be a few holiday gifts in regards to brand new series. One might emphasize the old ECW and another series will chronicle one specific Superstar like never before. -January- Expect tons of Royal Rumbles and other battle royals that haven't re-aired for years. I must say I'll be pleased w/ the Survivor Series tag matches. I know I have tapes of every pre-2005 SS, but I would really rather not dig the tapes out, plus the tracking gets fussy on my VCR. Sounds like they'll need Striker back to educate everyone on factions in the history of something whatever ENTERTAINMENT!!! Last December had a hardcore theme so it looks like they may repeat that *shrugs* And being the whore for battle royals and Royal Rumbles I am, I hope they don't flake out on the January theme.
