WWE Network to Feature All of the MSG House Shows?

Although nothing is official, there is talk of making all of the shows available on the network in the next several months. It will not happen right away as it is a time-consuming project.

  1. Watching WM X7: Since Paul E. and JR have both gone on record of saying that they had no heat with each other, I can listen to their commentary without feeling weird, because DAMN did they do a good job of bickering and making it seem like they hated each other's guts.

  2. I remember renting the Uncensored 1995 tape and actually liking it a lot. (Keep in mind that this was pre-internet, and I had never seen the ECW hardcore style) I even enjoyed the "King of the road" match because it was so different. Also, Big Bubba having a 100% clean win over Sting. WTF???

  3. Well, good for Dustin?

    ReplyDelete
  4. I'm guessing that WWE got a ton of Network orders during RAW, as lots of casual fans were probably reminded of it. So I'd say it's a good "first day" start.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Of beta testing that is.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Maybe there was a little animosity there, because as you said it did feel real at times. Nothing to do with Heyman personally but I'm sure JR just felt upset with Lawler leaving the company.

    ReplyDelete
  7. It all depends on how many of those stay after the trial though. That is what matters and we should have an idea of that next week

    ReplyDelete
  8. They had great chemistry and the absolute pinnacle was during the entrance for the Survivor Series main even that year when Heyman starts needling JR for his relationship with Austin. JR telling Heyman "Jim Cornette can replace you on Raw tomorrow night!" and Heyman's subsequent laughter is a real announcing highlight.

  9. Add Superbrawl 1 to that. A bloddy taped fist match with Pillman/Windham, awesome Eaton/Anderson tv title match, Doom blowoff in a cage (shit match, but still important), decent Flair/Fujinami rematch and one of the best tag matches of all time in Sting/Luger vs. The Steiners.

    Plus some Wrestlecrap like Big Josh dancing with bears, Stan Hansen chasing Missy Hyatt around in his underwear, the debut of Badstreet and an Oz match

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yep, I also love how Ross was disgusted with Austin being in the Alliance, so Heyman kept doing "Let me do it for you: *nasally voice*: STONE COLD! STONE COLD!! STONE COLD!!"

    ReplyDelete
  11. If they include all of the MSG shows, that will be fucking awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I thought Big Bubba was excellent. He should have amounted to more in WCW. But then that's WCW for you.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Just curious if anyone had heard of, or tried to cancel the Network? In thinking of trying it out today, mostly for Arrival, then canceling it before the end of the trial period. Also, if you go through PayPal there's no reason I wouldn't be able to cancel right?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Network: Strange they wouldn't do that... just odd.
    MSG: That'll be cool.
    March 8: Hmm.
    Goldust: So what, not even on the show then? Unless they get inserted back into the title picture (with a lot less heat than they had before they lost the belts)... there's not much to do.

  15. Man what a great team that was

    ReplyDelete
  16. There was one Raw during the Invasion where they had to vamp for a couple of minutes for some reason in between matches, and they just kept going back and forth until J.R. was ready to throw to the next segment and said "Awwwwww kiss my asssss." I died laughing. That may be my favorite J.R. commentary moment, along with him standing right below HHH after he attacked Austin on the announce table in early 2001 and repeatedly calling him a son of a bitch as HHH posed above him.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I can't remember which Raw it was but after one of the matches JR and Paul really get into. It gets to the point that they're almost yelling at each other and it ends with JR saying something like "well you go to hell". I wish I could find that clip.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Heyman and JR worked well together in WCW, too. I never thought there was any animosity there, like I never imagined there was any animosity between Gorilla-Ventura or Gorilla-Heenan. They were a good combination.

    ReplyDelete
  19. And then Lawler came back and I got sick of him within 3 minutes with his outdated Puppies garbage.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I loved Superbrawl 2 with Pillman/Liger, Steamboat/Rude, Windham&Rhodes/Austin/Zbysko, and Steiners/Anderson& Eaton

    ReplyDelete
  21. WWE Network to Feature All of the MSG House Shows? Yes.. a thousand times yes!

    ReplyDelete
  22. That MSG lineup has potential to be a Daniel Bryan post WM 28 scenario.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Man I was rolling pretty good on the Roku for 6 minutes till it started have to buffer every 20 seconds!

    PROGRESS

    ReplyDelete
  24. I think I'm going to skip the MSG show and try to hit Raw in Brooklyn before Mania instead.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Threadjack: Oh Jesus, I've just gone celibate forever. The payoff to this commercial prompted noises out of me that sounded like Raymond Babbitt near hot water.

  26. You are officially my lifetime enemy for making me see this.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Havoc 90 had a couple of AWESOME tag team matches, with Doom/Flair and Arn, and Nasties/Steiners. There was some crap otherwise, though.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Now that the 93 Raw episodes are over on the live stream, I'm watching WrestleMania III until the 2013 Royal Rumble kicks off.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Don't hate the player, hate the game. The terrifying, visually torturing game.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Well, I jumped in the pool with the rest of you. And surprisingly (not really) nothing working on my ps3.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Does anyone REALLY want to see Goldstein Vs Cody. It's a nice story in theory but I don't think people want to see it

    ReplyDelete
  32. Goldsein? Cody is fighting his attorney at Mania?

    ReplyDelete
  33. 15 million a year? Thats sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Lol. Or accountant. "Don't think your special because you know Rocks accountant, Ira Goldberg"

    ReplyDelete
  35. They should have done it at WM 28,Goldust was on twitter at the asking for the management for a title vs career match,at first they were gonna do it,then they aborted and made Cody vs Show.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think it was that ppv where one of the bears peed on the ramp as he was walking.

    ReplyDelete
  37. So many have signed up in total so far? Do we have any numbers yet?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Same here on the Roku.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Nah, an old legend returns. (One Post Only?)

    ReplyDelete
  40. At its conference call, WWE said it was planning on releasing subscriber numbers after Wrestlemania.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I feel like Joey Styles in that vignette when Austin showed up on Hardcore TV. "You're Steve Austin!"



    Except it's like, "Holy Shit, the Fuj is back!"

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm pretty excited about the MSG shows news. There were some really great cards broadcast on the MSG Network back in the day.

    ReplyDelete
  43. "BY GAWD, THAT'S GOTTA BE, THAT'S GOTTA BE FUJ"

    ReplyDelete
  44. Didn't the network need at least a million dollars to break even? Or was it a million customers? Either way making 1,300,000 in the first 8 hours is a sweet gig.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Why would you want to cancel.....

    ReplyDelete
  46. Fuck yeah, they'd wrestle that match like it was the biggest of their careers. With a good build ("you were always dad's favourite etc") it could have some sick tension going in. Maybe next year..

    ReplyDelete
  47. I dont want to see them wrestle against each other now. There team is still going strong. No need to break them up
