January 3, 20178 yr comment_5781266 Cracks me up that people would get mad at that, it's just Business 101 that the best way to get a company's attention is to stop giving them money.
January 3, 20178 yr comment_5781267 The best part to me was Heyman saying "there's only room for one Jew" and popping Rosen with it.
January 3, 20178 yr comment_5781272 Why does it always feel like Paul thinks he's being edgy when he drops that he's a Jew in a promo or on something like this? Maybe it's my background as a Jew, but it feels like he thinks other people will think you can't say JEW on TV, so he's breaking script or something.
January 3, 20178 yr comment_5781293 I'd be willing to give it a chance with a different host/moderator. Rosenberg is insufferable on the radio and I watch way too much wrestling already. Not about to add a discussion program featuring someone I'm not on board with.
January 3, 20178 yr comment_5781305 Everyone in the crowd is wearing a jacket or coat. Looks like the coldest it got that month was the mid 40's (Fahrenheit) or so. I wonder how WWE kept the ring warm that night. The cat is out-of-the-bag for WM29, but there is nothing within The Big Event setup that looks sophisticated enough to keep anyone warm.[/quote What did they do at mania?
January 3, 20178 yr comment_5781308 Saw some people VERY upset on twitter about Heyman saying that until fans boycott, complaining means nothing. They were just complaining and not boycotting however, proving him right. So WWE produced a show where Heyman told people to stop spending money on the product? Got it.

It's not going to matter because that's the whole point of what he said: People love to complain about WWE but when it comes down to it they're not going to stop giving them their money and that's the only effective means of protesting WWE.
January 3, 20178 yr comment_5781314 Why does it always feel like Paul thinks he's being edgy when he drops that he's a Jew in a promo or on something like this? Maybe it's my background as a Jew, but it feels like he thinks other people will think you can't say JEW on TV, so he's breaking script or something. On Stone Cold's WWE Network podcast, he flat out insinuated the old stereotype that Jews own everything, which silenced Heyman for the first time in his life. I was expecting tons of outrage the next day, but no one said a word. Pretty much reinforces that rasslin' fans are the lowest common denominator and either don't care/feel the same way or it went over their heads. Later on, I think Heyman said his people chose the one place without oil. Anyway, I liked Rosenberg and agree with Heyman 100%. Fans will bitch and moan, and even worse, they'll do so in the most contradictory ways. Why should anyone listen to that white noise? It really doesn't mean a damn thing until they boycott. None of those Twitter twits are coming close to doing that, so who cares what they think?
January 16, 20178 yr comment_5783724 STOP EVERYTHING: Undertaker vs. Festus is finally on the network! Oh hell yes.
January 17, 20178 yr comment_5783939 Ride Along has to be the most boring show ever. Bryan was sniffling and blowing his nose constantly. I would've thrown his ass out of the car and told him to get his own ride. But Ellsworth, who was disgusted, had to be polite because of their different positions on the WWE totem pole. Such a boring pairing because there could never be conflict. Slater/Rhyno was a bit better, but still dull compared to what their real car rides must be like. The only highlight was their visit to some sort of redneck superstore, and even that didn't last long enough. I wish the whole episode had taken place inside that store.

I liked the Jericho&Henry/Club and Enzo&Cass/Dudleys episodes, but yeah, otherwise it's a show that doesn't do anything for me.
January 17, 20178 yr comment_5783994 What's the update on ICW/Progress being on the Network now? If that's an accurate report, I think that's a much better idea for the UK title than trying a weekly show from the UK with the talent they had in the tournament.
January 17, 20178 yr comment_5783996 Dave said on last night's show that it looks like they're going to be on the network, At least now the reported lowball contracts offered to guys in the UK tournament kind of make sense if they can still work in ICW.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786525 It appears 2009 Smackdown is going up. Have we gotten any hints about what their next project will be when they finish up Smackdown?
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786536 24 Dallas is a really good watch. Especially the part revolving around the HIAC is pretty emotional. And seeing what that match means to Shane and the emotions it brought kinda makes you feel bad about shitting all over it.
January 31, 20178 yr comment_5786539 It appears 2009 Smackdown is going up. Have we gotten any hints about what their next project will be when they finish up Smackdown? Not exactly an answer to your question but someone asked Dave if we'd ever see Florida footage on the network and his reply was pretty much that they don't seem to think it's worth the time and money needed to make them network worthy. Which made me the saddest of pandas.

Which made me the saddest of pandas. Yeah, I doubt they're anywhere near going deep in terms of territory footage. I could see them going further on WCW Saturday Night. In terms of stuff they've already got digitized for sure, there's PTW (from the 24/7 days, up into at least 1989 I think), and they have edited versions of some years of Wrestling Challenge and Superstars from the online WWE Classics. But otherwise, it feels pretty open and I don't have a good hunch about what they'd determine is important enough.
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786564 I could see them fleshing out the PTWs and Saturday Nights, and I believe they just started doing the late era Worldwides right before 24/7 was shut down. Still don't know why they can't do a mass dump of the AWA/WCCW/Florida stuff that was already digitized.
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786590 Am I the only one who'd like to see ECW (the WWE version) and the early years of NXT uploaded?
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786600 WWE's ECW ended up being a really good show. I'd definitely like to see Matt Hardy's 2008, Christian's 2009, the Miz & Morrison tag team run... all the random guys they had debut - Rally Up Ricky Ortiz, dancing DJ Gabriel... Tye Dillinger when he was Gavin Spears.
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786602 I would think Thunder is probably up pretty soon, although why anyone would ever want to rewatch Thunder (I'll have to for site purposes to make new gifs ) is beyond me.
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786671 Keeping the WCW TV run going with WCW Saturday Night would be my guess, I'd love to have good quality versions of early 90s WCW TV. I have to think WWECW is almost a given.
February 1, 20178 yr comment_5786674 The only thing about WWECW is that they were pushing You Know Who right up to the week of everything hitting the fan, and that might make them reluctant to put that up.
