WWE 24/7 Classics OnDemand General Discussion

[Diamonddust 0]

I seem to recall the internet community being pretty happy with BATB 2000 (rare for a WCW show at the time), but that could have been the hype of it all. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

 

Yeah... from what I remember... a large part of the praise for the show was Booker T's title win.

[Guest Smues]

From what I remember the last hour of the show was fairly enjoyable (the whole Hogan angle, and Booker T's title win) but for the most part it was typical 99/00 WCW garbage. The women's match was a joke, and I'm really not looking forward to seeing the Vampiro match again.

[Psycho Penguin 0]

Bash at the Beach 2000 was awesome. I think this was the PPV where GI Joe beat Stasiak in a boot camp match, then came back as Booker T to win the WCW title. It was a true "glass ceiling" moment on the IWC at the time.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Is "the Vampiro match" the graveyard match with Sting? That was a Halloween Shortie in either 2006 and 2007 and was amazingly awful.

[Guest Smues]

It's the "Graveyard Match" with The Demon.

No, that was Great American Bash. Booker faced Kanyon earlier on in this show. Here's the entire card:

 

Juventud Guerrera vs. Lt. Loco (Chavo Guerrero) for the Cruiserweight Title

Norman Smiley & Ralphus vs. Big Vito in a Handicap Match for the Hardcore Title

Daffney vs. Miss Hancock in a Wedding Gown Match

Chuck Palumbo & Shawn Stasiak vs. Kronic for the Tag Team Title

Kanyon vs. Booker T.

Mike Awesome vs. Scott Steiner for the U.S. Title

Vampiro vs. The Demon in a Graveyard Match

Shane Douglas vs. Buff Bagwell

Hulk Hogan vs. Jeff Jarrett for the WCW Title

Goldberg vs. Kevin Nash

Booker T. vs. Jeff Jarrett for the WCW Title

Hey we watched BATB 2000 as part of the short-lived "Tape of The Month Club" (poorly named since we watched all of the shows on DailyMotion). The opener is pretty good and I vaguely recall Smiley and Ralphus/Big Vito being a half decent comedy match but pretty much every other match not involving Booker T ranges from forgettable to WrestleCrap worthy dreck.

 

 

Like most Russo era WCW PPVs, I just remember feeling exhausted after I got done watching it. And not exhausted in a good way, exhausted like I felt after doing yardwork all day at my grandma's house.

[Psycho Penguin 0]

Ah, okay. BATB 2000 really wasn't so bad. It really is worth it just for the glass ceiling moment and Russo's shoot, although they don't mean as much 8 1/2 years later.

I don't like WWE 24/7 being its own forum now. I liked it better as a sub-forum. I hate having to back out of the WWE forum to go into the 24/7 forum now.

Check this thread for a poll

 

No guarantee the higher-ups will listen to this (I won't name names but one of them hates sub-folders and this was likely his idea) but it's worth voicing your opinion. I know some will be happy that it's completely disconnected from the WWE Folder, so let's have some public voice.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

You don't need to back out, just use the drop-down menu in the lower right.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I'm still getting updates from the future. Weird - even weirder that this didn't happen until today and Unforgiven isn't there (in theory, that would be part of the advanced 21st update I received).

[King Kamala 0]

They're $1.99 on Time Warner. Not too bad of a deal. It's a shame I go back to my cableless school on Monday or else I'd order a few (I haven't seen '96 and '97 since they first came out on VHS).

[Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0]

I don't know if it was because I subscribed to 24/7 already or what, but the regular-definition Rumbles on Comcast On-Demand back home were free.

[Enigma 0]

Can anyone vouch for the quality of the HD remastered Rumbles? I might throw down the $3 for 1992 if it is any good.

Vader vs. Sting is an incredible bloodbath.

[Guest Smues]

Absolutely. Plus even just snippets of the White Castle of Fear Mini-Movie would be awesome. STINGER!!!!

"Sting accepted an invitation to a party...AT THE WHITE CASTLE OF FEAR!"

I got a future update this week! Vengeance part 2 popped up.

[Boner Kawanger 0]

I already have No Mercy 2008 up. It immediately replaced Unforgiven. I didn't think the recent PPVs went up until the end of the month.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

That was scheduled like that. I'm assuming next month features both Cyber Sunday and Survivor Series.

[Guest Smues]

I've got vengence part 2 up as well. Which I guess works, because I recall the main event being the only decent part of the show.

 

When do they announce what won the PYBO voting? Because I'm quickly learning that while the website says they announce it on the 1st of the month, that's bullshit since the poll is still up 4 days in.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Generally whenever they feel like it. Sometimes we find out from the Sunflower website first!

 

I enjoyed Vengeance 02 but there might be bias since I was there.

 

Edit: I seem to have Part 2 now too, and it has a standard 2 week expiry date. Call me Conspiracy Joe, but I have a feeling someone realized that the opening match had to be but (which is 15 minutes plus intros) and that cutting the opening match might come off as odd, so I have a feeling Part 1 will not even show up next week.

[Boner Kawanger 0]

Makes sense. I didn't consider that. Thanks.

 

On the subject of No Mercy, the ladder match lived up to my high expectations, although there were a few flaws (mostly Michael Cole's commentary, although I was disappointed when Shawn failed to recreate and escape the end from the WM X match). Still, there were way more high points, and if this was December, I'd have voted it as Match of the Year, even against the Flair match.

[Enigma 0]

Vengeance '02 part 2 showed up for me too.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Cogeco hasn't been updating the "Free Trial" menu for many months now (the odd time, the month's preview show might show up) but now that they did this month, I couldn't help but notice the "Raw Preview" is actually the entire episode. Has this been common? That's pretty cool that in theory someone could check that out and decide to subscribe, but I know that's hard with some cable companies. With Cogeco, every digital cable subscriber has access to every OnDemand menu, premium service or not, to check out what's there. When I visit out of town friends with Rogers, if you don't subscribe to a service, you can't even see the program listings, so this would not be helpful to them.

[heyguesswhatidid 0]

Vengeance part 2 just disappeared on my listings and now I can't get anything in "The Big Ones" to play.

 

This channel is so frustrating at times.
