January 27, 201510 yr comment_5651558 Holy shit, that WWE 24 episode with the WM 30 behind the scenes stuff is amazing. Ironically you come out of it wanting Daniel Bryan to be champion forever and he comes off as the nicest guy ever.

Yeah I finally sucumbed to the Network and ordered just so I can watch the Rumble. I enjoyed it anyway shame the internet kids didnt but hey they expect too much. Regarding cropping they did this for years on their official DVDs before they finally changed it. Never had a issue with the stretched pic on the dvds before this.

You are the only person - in the world - that hasn't any complaints about the Rumble.

Carrier Pigeon or something? Ha.
January 27, 201510 yr comment_5651591 I know they've done cropping on stuff before, but that's more like for clips for documentaries (it's all over the Flair one for example). They've never done that for full shows, which is more important imo.
January 27, 201510 yr comment_5651617 Anyone watch the WWE 24 behind-the-scenes special about WM XXX? While it did take us backstage during the event, it didn't really reveal nearly as much as I thought it would. I guess I expected too much. It felt like mostly fluff. The Connor Michalek stuff still gets to me. So sad.
January 27, 201510 yr comment_5651630 Yeah, and a lot of it had already been used on the Bryan and Warrior docs last year. What's next week's episode about?

If you must slander people for having a different opinion from you, then at least use better slander. And I do not think expecting any of the over faces to look strong is "expecting too much", but I won't begin to debate with you on it, because your post is so ridiculous it does not merit debate.

When did WWE ever crop anything on their DVDs? I've got absolutely no recollection of this ever happening outside of clips inserted into widescreen documentaries. Original content has always been presented in 4:3, sometimes with bars added at the side if there's a mix of footage.

You are the only person - in the world - that hasn't any complaints about the Rumble. I enjoyed it for what it was. No point in being upset over who got eliminated or who won. I may be disapointed over the odd thing that happened but no point in being angry at what happened as their are other things in the world to worry about.

If I remember right I watched a DVD last month I forget the name but I recall it having MSG stuff in the content and it was full screen on my widescreen tv however when I watched another DVD it had the black bars on the picture.
January 28, 201510 yr comment_5651832 In the fervor about subscribers, they've completed 99 for Smackdown, added a big dump of TNT and a couple more 96 Raws. If they could consistently provide updates like this more often and begin adding some more mid-80s stuff, I'd be happy with the current binge-watching potential.

Nothing personal against you, doc, but I honestly despise bullshit sentiments like this whenever I see them on message boards. The whole, "oh, I'm above all of this, and why are you getting worked up when there are more important things to worry about?" attitude just smacks of false piety to me. Of course, world affairs, personal problems, etc. are "more important" - but we're on a wrestling forum, so it's perfectly fine to get angry about wrestling here.

Glad they finally finished 99 Smackdown actually. Was planning on going back and watching in as I couldn't get it where I live since the station that carried it wasn't available in my area. Loving the 96 Raw stuff, probably my favorite year.
January 28, 201510 yr comment_5651865 Yes, I've been watching all the 95 and 96 Raws and it's amazing how much of it seems new to me since I spent so much time channel flipping in those days.

Back in the day I used to get so wound up on things like Earthquake taking out the wrestlers I liked or Triple H burying someones career or at least trying to in a match but I guess the novelty just wore off once I left my 20s.

I still get a chuckle out of Triple H exorcising his insecurities every week on TV.
January 30, 201510 yr comment_5652141 What has happened to the backstage pass stuff? On the UK version Raw hasent had one since the Sheamus/Rusev title change and Smackdown is May 2nd. Seems quite odd whiy its nearly a year gap for Smackdown as I presumed they were still doing this unless the UK version is different to the US version. Always loved these as they are in a way like sat feeds. Anyone know whats going on?
January 31, 201510 yr comment_5652281 They will put up an episode of Mid-South Wrestling sometime next month for Black History Month, with a show headlined by Junkyard Dog vs. King Kong Bundy.
January 31, 201510 yr comment_5652286 I hope it draws enough interest for them to start doing regular Mid-South Wrestling uploads (who am I kidding)
January 31, 201510 yr comment_5652306 They will put up an episode of Mid-South Wrestling sometime next month for Black History Month, with a show headlined by Junkyard Dog vs. King Kong Bundy. That sounds like a WWF match they would have done in 85.
January 31, 201510 yr comment_5652308 I hope it draws enough interest for them to start doing regular Mid-South Wrestling uploads (who am I kidding) It looks like they are creating one of those categories like the Christmas or ECW ones where they dump random stuff in there but never gets used again after a week or two.
January 31, 201510 yr comment_5652333 Hey' it's something at least. At this point I'll take a depository of random old school TV eps and matches over....well, nothing.
