WWE Network... It's Here
Dave's befuddled response to you on twitter was gold: https://twitter.com/davemeltzerWON/status/675008843265404928.) Stuff like that is basic, common-sense marketing, you would think. But then, it took them almost two years to figure out that gift cards were a good idea. WWE is just bafflingly incompetent at times.

PWHF is moving
Somewhat related: the UT-Arlington library currently has an exhibit of WCCW photos taken during 1982-83 in Fort Worth: https://www.uta.edu/news/releases/2015/08/ringside-wrestling-exhibit.php I haven't been but it looks like for whatever reason UTA has an interest in pro wrestling history.

[1993-12-27-WCW-Starrcade '93] Ric Flair and Gene Okerlund
Gene and Ric have great chemistry, obviously. It's good to see them being low-key rather than the bombastic "MEAN...WHOO! BY GOD GENE" promos during the Nitro years. Those are great too, but this is nicely different.

[1993-12-06-AJW] Akira Hokuto vs Shinobu Kandori
The level of violence in this match was frightening. Loss was right when he described it like a movie fight scene than a match. There were holds and moves like a normal match, but something felt different. I need to rewatch their first match.

WWE Network... It's Here
So five random Smoky Mountain episodes from 1994 were just uploaded: 2/14/1994 3/13/1994 3/27/1994 5/1/1994 7/5/1994 I had no idea they even owned that library. Keep it up, WWE Network!

[1993-12-01-AJPW-Real World Tag League] Toshiaki Kawada & Akira Taue vs Steve Williams & Big Bossman
There's an alternate universe where instead of going to WWF in 1988, Bubba goes to All Japan and develops into a damn good worker by 1993. His work was really interesting in these two matches.

Chigusa Nagayo
Just watched a Chigusa match from 1993 comeback and was blown away by her presence and charisma. If anyone has any recommendations from her prime, I'd appreciate it.

WWE TV for November 22 to 28
They sort did that back in the day with GTV, but it quickly devolved into poop jokes and humiliating Mark Henry.

WWE TV for November 22 to 28
The opening promo wasn't quite as bad as I'd feared, probably due to Sheamus being a new (ish) voice. Plus Roman seemed really over with this crowd at least.

WWE Network... It's Here
So there's a new series coming soon called "Ride Along", which has two people in a car with a camera. That's actually kind of clever, and Table for 3 has been pretty good, so maybe it will be interesting?

Survivor Series 2015 thread
So the big news this morning is that Survivor Series is on some sort of alleged ISIS "target list" that was uncovered by Anonymous. Bix has a story up: http://www.sescoops.com/wwe-survivor-series-2015-isis-terrorist-attack-atlanta-target-list/ I'd say it's no more or less a "target" than any other sporting event or large public gathering but after Paris and the bomb plot this week at the Germany-Netherlands match authorities are understandably on edge.

I don't see how the most wonderful thing I've ever seen could possibly hurt his case.

"Boomer T. Lynch" was the best South African name they could come up with?

[1993-09-18-USWA-TV] Jerry Lawler vs Tatanka
Tatanka is surprisingly great heeling it up in the Memphis studio - riling up the crowd, intimidating Dave, and holding his own with Lawler. Tommy Rich is great here too.
