King Kamala Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 OK, I have yet another idea for a regular thread on here. What we'll do is every other week, we'll select an old school wrestling show (one of those Coliseum videos could be fun too), pick a time when we'll all watch it and provide sort of a running commentary ala the PPV threads in the WWE and TNA folder.Since we've been talking about the Hummer angle and the general crappiness of '99 WCW, I lay forth the suggestion of Great American Bash '99 for our first slection. The problem with this show is that it's so crappy that it might kill the chances of a second Tape of The Month. Maybe we should do something good. Is anybody interested in this idea? I'm also open to suggestions as to what show we'll watch first.
Garth Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I'd happily get involved with this. I've been looking for a reason to watch some older wrestling. My viewing has been mostly limited to 2000 onwards, with smatterings of older stuff here and there. I find it difficult to just check out old stuff on youtube/dailymotion as it's stand alone stuff. It'd be great if along with what we're going to watch a brief history of the happenings leading up to the event would greatly increase my viewing pleasure.
Aero Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I'd be interested if I'm home for the viewing period. Coincidently, I started watching GAB 99 earlier today (only got through match #2). I like the idea a lot, though.
Dandy Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Great thread idea, as I already told you. In the future, maybe we can have a thread title that will fit, though. Anyway, I would like to suggest Survivor Series 1990 for a future show.
King Kamala Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Posted May 23, 2008 I'm thinking of doing these on Sundays when TNA and WWE aren't holding PPVs. Good idea? Bad? Indifferent?
Bruiser Chong Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I'd be down, so long as the selected time jives with my schedule.
Jingus Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 As long as it's online somewhere I can watch it for free, Youtube or similar, I'd gladly participate in such a thing.
CanadianGuitarist Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I remember someone saying a few years ago in a Raw thread (I believe it was part of This Week In Wrestling History, when the showed the nWo forming) about what it would be like to read a PPV thread here, from a live, classic show (say, our reactions to Hogan or Austin turning, or Bret getting screwed,etc.). I thought that was a really cool concept, and it sounds like Kamala is putting it into practice here.
FroGG_NeaL Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 As long as it's online somewhere I can watch it for free, Youtube or similar, I'd gladly participate in such a thing.
Guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Posted May 24, 2008 Same. Dailymotion has quite a few PPV's that we could all watch at the same time and talk about. But tape, my computer is situated in such a place that it's really hard for me to watch television and be on the computer at the same time. Can't do that. I'll watch anything, too. ANYTHING. Even Heroes of Wrestling.
King Kamala Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Posted May 24, 2008 Glad I have a laptop. Amusingly enough, I do own a copy of Heroes of Wrestling. Anyways, seeing how we're discussing that era of WCW so much, we'll do Great American Bash '99 first. Sometime next week. I swear we'll pick a good PPV for our next one.
King Kamala Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Posted May 26, 2008 Alright, I'm thinking Thursday Night 8 P.M. for this thing. I'm trying to find a torrent of Great American Bash '99 but I can't seem to find one anywhere.
Dandy Posted May 26, 2008 Report Posted May 26, 2008 This Thursday is out for me. I am having a LOST party, and we will be watching the episodes leading up to the finale.
claydude14 Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Someone should stream it somewhere, so we are literally all watching at the same time. Sopcast or something easy?
FroGG_NeaL Posted May 30, 2008 Report Posted May 30, 2008 Kamala, homie. Reschedule this shit for like, next Tuesday or Wednesday or somethin'. And hook a nigga up with some linkage for it.
King Kamala Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Posted May 30, 2008 This obviously isn't happening this week. Next week is a possibility. As for this linking or streaming it, I really have no idea. I'm kind of a caveman with that stuff.
King Kamala Posted June 2, 2008 Author Report Posted June 2, 2008 Nope...again if anybody can find a torrent or find something on YouTube just post it baby. I can't find anything. We could always do another show though. If I can't find anything in the next week or so, we'll do that.
Dandy Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Can anybody do anything with this? http://fileshunt.com/out.php?go=61242832
FroGG_NeaL Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 All it needs is to have all the parts downloaded and posted on Daily Motion as a playlist. I'm a lazy mofocker, though. So, yeah.
cabbageboy Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Keep me updated on this. I actually just watched most of this show a week or so ago and oddly enough it's not quite as terrible as BATB 99. My brother found a bunch of these horrible WCW tapes in the basement and has been watching this dreck.
DMann2003 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Like 5 years ago I suggested this exact idea, funny.
cabbageboy Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 This would be better if it was an actual group of us hanging out and watching this crappy PPV. The interaction would be funny and make it palatable. Get some pizza and some sort of alcohol as well, because we'd all need to be fucked up to watch a PPV like GAB 99.
Guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 They have Halloween Havoc '95 on dailymotion...a shitty show we could all enjoy! Just a thought. There are more like it too.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 They have Halloween Havoc '95 on dailymotion...a shitty show we could all enjoy! Mr JL vs. Sabu? Kurasawa vs. Hawk? What's that- Monster Trucks? I'm down.
King Kamala Posted June 3, 2008 Author Report Posted June 3, 2008 Halloween Havoc '95 sounds like a good suggestion to me. I'd probably be more available to do this during a weeknight. What's other people's availability?
Guest Posted June 3, 2008 Report Posted June 3, 2008 Any day the Lakers and Celtics won't be playing. You guys can leave me out if that's a problem.
