But a strange choice on shorties

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Neat, I can put Survivior Series 91 and Tuesday in Texas on the same tape. Hooray recent early 90s obsession by 24/7!

[10 Pounds 0]

Odd they would focus on nothing but Goldberg matches in the shorties. I was kinda hoping we would get another "25 days of Christmas" theme like last year. Although they could mix the two themes and have footage of Santa's Slay availlable

 

This month's shorties, however, are totally awesome. You got the Jive Soul Bro and Rap is Crap music videos which I haven't seen in forever and Real American is always a classic. *rips an Al-Gaddafi photo* It's only unfortunate they had to put those lame Miz inserts in the videos.

[Diamonddust 0]

Anyone know if the Funk/Hogan match is any good?

[Boner Kawanger 0]

Yeehaw, Tuesday in Texas is the only 1991 PPV I've never seen. And I don't know about the Funk/Hogan match, DD; I have a feeling it'll be entertaining. If the Flair/Goldberg match is from a late 90s Nitro then it's really good. Pretty much Flair's formula for a Nikita Koloff match, but who can complain about that?

[Darth Pipes 0]

Anyone know if the Funk/Hogan match is any good?

 

I'd imagine it was good. Funk could get an entertaining match out of a lot of guys.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

I swear Funk and Adonis had to have had a friendly competition in 1985-86 as to who can be the better stooge and oversell the most.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Starrcade 92 did indeed pull out the PYBO Victory.

 

Here are the choices for December:

 

Clash of the Champions IV: Ric Flair and Barry Windham vs. The Midnight Express (this was on in 2006 and I never got around to watching it, Cogeco was having a lot of VOD problems around that time - I also couldn't watch the IYH: DX PPV until the day it expired and I didn't get a chance).

 

In Your House V: Owen vs. Diesel, Buddy Landel~!, Bret vs. Bulldog. (I don't believe I've ever seen this show in full - Coliseum Video's version was combined with another IYH).

 

Armageddon 2004: Taker vs. Eddie vs. Booker T vs. JBL (which I recall being good) plus a bunch of crap. (The seemingly obligatory "terrible choice from 2004" pick).

 

I'm pulling for IYH V.

I'm pulling for the Clash, strictly to see the Horsemen vs The Midnight Express.

Agreed 100%

 

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

It's been 2 years, never, and 4 years since I've seen those shows so any of them can win and it would be fine. I just hope it's not Armageddon, though thankfully the string of "Most recent PPV wins" seems to have ended. I thought No Mercy 2004 would win October hands down.

[Guest]

Any of them would be fine, but Clash IV is preferable.

[Guest]

And next month's schedule is up on Sunflower.

 

Apparently they're showing ECW Holiday Hell 1995. The main event is Cactus vs. Sabu.

Cool. I like old-school ECW.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I'm not terribly fond of them showing the December 97 Christmas Raw again considering we're almost there anyway. It's not that great a show, but I'm a sucker for holiday themed business.

 

So, I guess there's other Shorties until Hanukkah starts? I see something about an AWA Christmas Brawl and Austin's Christmas Party (which I think is from 2001 - THAT should be the Holiday Raw they air).

 

I like the jump forward we sometimes get for Prime Time when they show a special, so hooray 1990 Christmas special.

 

Old School Highlights:

 

Philly '88: The Rockers vs. Arn/Tully, Savage vs. King Haku

Toronto '85: Hogan vs Funk, Dream Team vs. Bulldogs

[Boner Kawanger 0]

Is there anything on Starrcade 1992 that is worth watching that probably won't be getting in the Top 25, though? I looked up the card and don't know how to feel. The tag title match was pretty awesome, I'm sure Sting/Vader will be good, but I don't trust WCW matches with Japanese talent after Halloween Havoc...

[Enigma 0]

Muta/Chono was light years better than Rude/Chono, which isn't saying much.

 

Williams/Simmons is boring crap, but it wasn't their fault since Rude had to be replaced at the last minute.

[Guest]

You have to see Sting and Dr. Death face Liger and Watts. And Windham/Muta vs. Scorpio/Pillman. It's an interesting show.

[Diamonddust 0]

Yeah... if I remember correctly, Williams no-sells pretty much everything from Liger and Watts.

I have had this service since 2005 and this is the fourth straight year they have shown that Christmas special from 97. It has become like tradition to me now...like Charlie Brown, Christmas Vacation, The Grinch, etc...I think I would be upset if they didn't show it at this point. I do wish they would show other ones too though, like you said, show 2001 as well.

We're gonna have to rename this forum "WWE Classics General Discussion." Do it. I dare you.

 

- WWE 24/7 is no more as it is getting rebranded under the name of WWE Classics on Demand. This was revealed at the CTAM Summit yesterday which is being held in Boston, MA. "Our new name, WWE Classics On Demand, better

reflects the content of our service, chronicling the rich heritage of the sports entertainment industry," said Peter Clifford, WWE senior vice president, distribution and affiliate marketing. The new name and logo will be appeared on WWE TV shows, online outlets, WWE magazines and inserts in WWE Shop orders and WWE DVD titles. (thanks to Colin Vassallo)

 

GERWECK.net

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I noticed that yesterday too. Multichannel news was reporting it like it was new. This has been going on for two months.

[garfieldsnose 0]

Yeah, but this is MAJOR NEWS. They're going to get rid of the current logo that still features a 24/7 with just the word classics at the bottom. This is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I said I dare you, so you have to do it.

 

 

Bitch.

I hope Cogeco fixes the "infinite cycle" problem I'm having with the Big Ones menu/ I'd like other options besides the first 7 GAB matches and I want to watch and tape Tuesday in Texas.

 

I also believe from previous years that "Troops" is considered a TV Classic (it's just an episode of Raw).

 

I was hoping the knowledge that COTC IV was the PYBO winner meant WWE.com updated the 24/7 page, but I see it's just taken from Sunflower (who, side note, list Holiday Hell is being in both 95 and 96, heh).

[shadylpete 0]

WWE.com needs to get their shit together and update their Classics on Demand page. We're already 6 days into December.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

At this rate, Sunflower will tell us the January schedule before WWE.com even previews it.

[Guest]

All that's up so far are the choices for PYBO and the theme. The theme is Ring Royalty.

 

The choices for the PYBO are Royal Rumble 1991, King of the Ring 1996, and Judgment Day 2006. They gonna cut Benoit v. Finlay out of that last one?

[Guest]

Celebrate WWE 24/7 Classics’ crowning achievement in January with “Ring Royalty” with a look at the most noble Kings, Queens and other regal Superstars to ever grace the wrestling world.

 

Legends

 

Hall of Fame: Jerry “The King” Lawler – “The King” has ruled the wrestling world for the better part of four decades, both in the ring and as an announcer. Follow Jerry Lawler’s incredible career, from his ascent to the top of Memphis wrestling to World Championship glory in the AWA and Superstardom in the WWE. Relive the King’s storied rivalry with comedian-turned-combatant Andy Kaufman, battles with Terry Funk and “Hitman” Bret Hart and Lawler’s 2007 induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

 

The Big Ones

 

The Royal Rumble – For over 20 years, the Royal Rumble has been one of WWE’s showcase events, highlighted by the once-a-year, over-the-top-rope Royal Rumble Match. Revisit (2) classic events: In 1995, 30 Superstars, including Shawn Michaels, Owen Hart, the British Bulldog, Lex Luger, King Kong Bundy and Bob Backlund battle to be the last Superstar standing in the Rumble Match. Plus, “Hitman” Bret Hart challenges Diesel for the WWE Championship. Then in 1998, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mankind and Vader headline the Royal Rumble Match, battling for the right to challenge for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania. Plus, WWE Champion Shawn Michaels looks to hold on to the gold, facing The Undertaker in a Casket Match.

 

King of the Ring ’97 – Who will be named King of the WWE for 1997? Mankind, Jerry “The King” Lawler, Triple H and Ahmed Johnson, compete in the final rounds of the tournament for the prestigious title. All-time greats collide when “Heartbreak” Kid Shawn Michaels faces Stone Cold Steve Austin. Plus, the Undertaker defends the WWE Championship against the leader of the Nation of Domination, Faarooq.

 

TV Classics

Controversy reigns on WWE Raw, as Vince McMahon addresses the story behind Bret Hart’s departure. Plus, the rivalry between Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock intensifies while D-Generation X runs roughshod on everybody in their path. Nitro is highlighted by huge, big-name battles, including Hollywood Hogan defending the WCW World Championship vs The Giant, Eddie Guerrero vs Dean Malenko for the Cruiserweight crown, Rey Mysterio vs Chris Jericho and Curt Hennig vs Lex Luger for the U.S. Title.

 

Saturday Night’s Main Event – The battle to become “Ring Royalty” comes to WWE’s network showcase. Saturday Night’s Main Event from January 1990 features “Macho King” Randy Savage versus Hacksaw Jim Duggan in a Crown Match. WWE Champion Hulk Hogan teams with Intercontinental Champion The Ultimate Warrior to face Mr. Perfect and The Genius. Dusty Rhodes takes on “Ravishing” Rick Rude and much more.

Siiiiick.

[Boner Kawanger 0]

There's no other place to really mention this, but my Comcast has a section where you can buy rent old Rumble matches OnDemand for $1.99 apiece.
