WWE 24/7 Classics OnDemand General Discussion

Fair enough.

 

Anyway, yeah, when I first subscribed the MNW policy was to skip non-compete weeks, but then Thursday Raw Thursday was important so they aired that. Then they aired all those weeks of Raw and Nitro when they weren't competing due to the NBA play-offs (I guess because it was 3 weeks of storyline development that was important), so the 7/18/25 Raw is the first thing they've skipped in a while, not counting some random skipping of an Africa Raw from April.

That pisses me off- the Halifax RAW sounds like a fun show, and well, I'm a completist, I want to see them all

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Yeah it is a bit of ashame they have to skip a Canadian show.

[Ed Wood Caulfield 0]

Fair enough.

July 18, 1925? Don't you mean July 21, 1997?

I really don't understand their rationale (if there is any) for doing this. It's not like non-competing episodes weren't important, or that they halted all storylines for that week. I love 24/7, but some of their broadcasting decisions baffle me.

[Guest]

Honestly, I just think WWE wants to push forward to the time in which they were dominating the MNW.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Oops, I wrote 18 and 25 in the same line.

[Darth Pipes 0]

I enjoyed the Tito Santana matches. WWE 24/7 has shown me just how good a worker Tito was back in the day, especially against Greg Valentine and Randy Savage.

 

In the Shorties section, they showed Kennedy's match Eddie Guerrero, which was the last match of Guerrero's career. I'm not surprised they didn't show what happened after the match. Kennedy absolutely blasted Guerrero with a chair shot to the head. The last time Eddie was seen alive on WWE TV, he was flat on his back.

The new stuff on 24-7 is awesome! Except for the SNME, I'm not watching that

[Guest]

Shango vs. Bret isn't very bad. I was quite surprised.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

SNME is what I'm all about! 3 title matches, Bulldog vs. Shawn, an Ultimate Maniacs match. Should be fun 1992 nostalgia. Is the Al Bundy opening in there?

[Guest]

No

[bob_barron 0]

For those of you who wonder about my undying hatred of all things HBK (all 0 of you), it all started with that match

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

I'm pleasantly surprised that SNME is the full show and not just the Bulldog/Michaels match.

 

 

[Darth Pipes 0]

I'm looking forward to all things Bockwinkel this month.

[cabbageboy 0]

It's funny but in that SNME thread I mentioned my decade long loathing of Shawn started with that win over Bulldog. Of course back then I didn't know about all the steroid stuff, though it did seem odd that Bulldog, Warrior, and LOD were all gone at the same time. I might watch that show after all though, that was at least a good match from what I recall.

 

I already watched some Bockwinkel stuff, since he is the MAN. Okay so he couldn't get jack shit out of Otto Wanz but the Memphis match with Lawler is cool stuff.

 

I also watched the Arquette title win in shorties, just because.

Am I the only Charter person to only get the new ECW show in my update?

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Page 1 now has the usual week by week program and schedule breakdown.

Oddly enough, on my cablevision, that's the only thing I didn't get.

[Diamonddust 0]

I could watch Mankind/The Rock over and over again, and the ending of that match would never get old.

the Shorties are very very good

[TheSSNintendo 0]

WarGames FTW.

[garfieldsnose 0]

God, I hope the 1997 War Games is on there. I really do. It was the first War Games match I saw and it holds a place for me. I don't care about the shitty ending, and the quality I have it on tape is very bad, so that is the only thing I dearly wish for in the shorties.

[Nate 0]

how many War Games matches were there, it doesnt seem like enough to warrant a whole month's worth in Shorties, and for the PYBO for July you will be able to choose from 3 ECW shows (or 2 if you wanna be technical) Heatwave 1996 (4 Way TV Title match, 6 Man steel cage), Barely Legal 1997, Terry Funk/Stevie/Sandman, Eliminators/Dudleyz) One Night Stand 2006 (Edge/Foley vs Funk/Dreamer, RVD/Cena)

 

no word on which King of The Ring won yet

[heyguesswhatidid 0]

Did anyone else notice that the Sunflower site is gone

 

Also, please vote for Heatwave 1996.

 

If you really want to see the other 2, you can get them really cheap since they were sold packaged together.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

That's a sweet MSG show.

 

*Bob Backlund vs. Bobby Duncum is actually a match to re-establish Backlund as champion. Backlund dropped the belt in controversial fashion the previous month to Antonio Inoki in Japan.

 

*Hulk Hogan's MSG debut match against Ted Dibiase.

 

*Dusty Rhodes vs. Harley Race is on Dusty's dvd.

 

*Antonio Inoki, Riki Choshu, Seiji Sakaguchi and Tatsumi Fujinami wrestle on the show. Inoki faces the Iron Sheik pre-gimmick, Sheik was then known as Hussein Arab.

 

On the Boston Garden show, Hogan and Bossman had a great series of cage matches. Rockers/Brainbusters is a 20+ minute match.

 

WarGames is a fantastic Shorties concept. For Nate's information, there are at least 12 WarGames matches.

That was the end of year, end of decade show in December 1979. Huge card.

 

All the War Games on Shorties? Sweet!

what were the 12 Wargames match up's

[Guest]

I like the selections for next month. House shows from the 89-92 era are my favorite...ECW PPV's are always good, and the choices for the PYBO are top notch as well. I'm going to vote for ONS '06. Haven't seen it.

 

I'm very glad that KotR '93 won the PYBO.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

what were the 12 Wargames match up's

Two on the Great American Bash tour in '87 (Dusty & crew vs. the Horsemen). One in 1988, also Dusty vs. the Horsemen. 1989 saw the Road Warriors and Midnight Express battle the Freebirds and Samoan Swat Team. 1991 had Sting, Pillman and the Steiners against the Horsemen. 1992 was Sting's Squadron against the Dangerous Alliance. 1993 had Sting and company against Vader's team. 1994 was Dusty and Dustin against Colonel Parker's stable. 1995 saw Hulkamania against the Dungeon of Doom. 1996 is WCW vs. NWO. 1997 had the Horsemen against the NWO. 1998 was that three-team abortion that DDP won by pinfall.
