WWE 24/7 Classics OnDemand General Discussion

[King Kamala 0]

Well I've only seen two matches from '88 (the sweet ten team/twenty man Survivor Series match and the main event). The former is pretty great but that's not a surprise considering that was probably the best tag team roster WWF ever had. The latter was long, dull, and predictable even by '80s Hogan match standards.

[Guest]

The choices for the PYBO are Starrcade '83, Starrcade '87, and Starrcade '92. Starrcade 1992 isn't an acceptable option, that was picked last December.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Starrcade '83 people! Even though Race/Flair is way overplayed, the Piper/Valentine match is brutal. And Steamboat/Youngblood vs. Briscos is pretty good as well.

[Guest]

Well, the poll says '92 while the card description and PYBO page says 1997. I'm confused.

 

I also want to see Starrcade 1983, but at the same time, I kinda want to watch Survivor Series 1987 and Starrcade 1987 on the same day. I'm weird like that.

[shadylpete 0]

I hope 1997 is the correct one for Starcade. I really wanna see it considering we're 2 months away on the Monday Night War from reaching it.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

They posted the Starrcade 97 card (including Benoit vs. Saturn), I would assume "1992" being on the poll is an error. That, or there is some sort of miscommunication going on.

[shadylpete 0]

Page updated, its 1992. Guess 1997 was a mistake or maybe it's airing anyway, who knows. On a side note, Halloween Havoc won the PYBO

[Enigma 0]

Oh man, I cannot wait to watch the trainwreck of Havoc '92 again.

 

THE BARBARIAN GOES FOR THE WCW WORLD TITLE!

I watched Starrcade 1997 last year on YouTube, and while it's not a classic or anything, I don't think it's a wretched show either. The action was good most of the show, it's just that the booking for the majority of the matches was bass ackwards, and of course, we all know about Sting/Hogan. The only good booking decisions were Diamond Dallas Page going over Curt Hennig and Larry Zbysko going over Eric Bischoff. Oh yeah, not doing Giant/Kevin Nash and replacing Raven with Saturn in the Chris Benoit match were stupid decisions too.

 

EDIT: Okay, *maybe* Savage/Vincent/Norton going over Steiners/Traylor was an all right booking decision, since it was just a meaningless Six-Man Tag Team Match, and hey, let the Macho Man get a victory on the biggest show in WCW history. Plus, the announcers could have used that match to say that maybe it's an "omen" that Hogan would beat Sting that night.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I was hoping Raw XV would air on 24/7 some day.

 

Edit: But that's the DVD... oh well. I just want to get a better recording of the broadcast.

 

Old School Notes:

 

April 75 MSG:

Televised on HBO!

Greg Valentine vs. "El Olympico" (with the note "Olympico wore a mask with the face cut out since MSG did not allow wrestlers to wear full masks at the time". Also Greg's MSG debut).

Bruno Sammartino vs. Spiros Arion in a "Greek Death Match"

 

November 86 Maple Leaf Gardens:

Piper vs. Muraco

Hart Foundation vs. The Islanders

 

November 89 MSG:

The 5th house show to be held on November 25, 1989!

Hart Foundation vs. The Rockers

Jake Roberts vs. Ted DiBiase

Jim Duggan vs. Macho Man Randy Savage

[Boner Kawanger 0]

I guess MizTV is just Titantrons and music videos? Hosted by The Miz.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Yes, and I cannot wait for the 2 Cold Scorpio music video on my TV!

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7AMIutwg4Y doesn't cut it.

 

Edit: Wow, that move at 1:41 is awesome.

 

Also, "WrestleRock Rumble" will be THE GREATEST Shortie of all time.

 

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

MSG from 1975 is sweet, I love those '70s house shows. A 20 minute best of three falls midget match though?

[cabbageboy 0]

I like S. Series 87 and all but they show it entirely too much. Why not 1988 or 89? I haven't seen those since the original VHS release. The 1988 show has the Conquistadors in the finals of the 10 tag team match, which was awesome.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Odd note: The October birthday scroll uses the name "Mike Mizanin" instead of "The Miz".

[KingPK 0]

So are they putting the rest of the HHH DVD up this month? I thought we'd get two more parts with this last update, but nothing.

Edited October 17, 2008 by KingPK

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Well we got 3 and 4 on Wednesday. Do you mean after that? It's only two discs so 4 parts should cover it.

[KingPK 0]

I didn't get that. Just the Studd stuff in the Legends section.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

We switched to a satellite dish at the house. No more WWE 24/7 for me, unfortunately.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I'm sorry to hear that, your input has always been great here.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I moved all the old monthly discussion threads from General, so if anyone feels like reliving comments they made about a particular show or what have you, they're all in a convenient location.

[Guest]

Sunflower says that Starrcade '92 won the PYBO again. That's pretty annoying.

[cabbageboy 0]

Wow, combine that with Havoc 1992 winning the PYBO and we see the clear dominance of early 90s WCW when it comes to 24/7.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Must be a lot of 1992-era wrestling fans voting in these polls. That's the 3rd 1992 winner in a row! I haven't seen the show before though (it's previous airing during my subscribtion must have occurred when Cogeco wasn't showing PYBO winners, or if it was a regular Big One, Cogeco just didn't show it).

[franchise632 0]

Comcast sucked with there updates for October but November stuff is already up!!

 

Watching RAW from 10/20/97

 

Man did Ken Shamrock suck ass in the ring.

 

Looks like some great stuff...I am thinking I will dig into some Survivor Series later today!!

Relive these classic battles, along with matches from Orndorff’s days in Georgia Championship Wrestling and WCW. Plus, see Orndorff honored in 2005 with induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

 

The Big Ones

In 1988, the Superstars head to the Spectrum in Philadelphia as WWE Champion “Macho Man” Randy Savage defends the gold vs King Haku.

TV Classics

The Monday Night War – The battle for Sports Entertainment supremacy continues between WWE and WCW with (2) head-to-head clashes from November 1997. The unpredictable actions of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, D-Generation X and WWE’s newest force, the big red monster Kane make for wild times on WWE Raw.

See the seemingly unstoppable force in memorable battles versus Hollywood Hogan, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Triple H, “Nature Boy” Ric Flair and many more.

 

We saw Tribute to the Troops 2006 last year. It's an okay show. Tuesday in Texas interests me.

[Diamonddust 0]

I also like the fact we're getting Tuesday from Texas plus post-Survivor Series '97 Raws and Nitros.

[KingPK 0]

The Savage/Roberts match from TIT is awesome if only for the post-match stuff and Roberts' promo afterwards.
