And even there I’d doubt he, or Dustin would do anything like it until either one finally heads into the sunset as a regular performer.
April 12, 20214 yr comment_5947038 Look, I'm as down on Jericho as everyone else is given his Trump horseshit. But that was a great interview and I think it's showing that at this point, right now? Vince has no problem with AEW and probably kind of respects them. My imagination is creating a story where Vince likes that his son in law's project got beat in the ratings.

You might not be that far off, I could see Vince enjoying the chance to embarrass Hunter by not having any issue approving one of the top stars of the company that kicked his ass to be on WWE programming. Especially with the story Austin told where he called Vince twice to clear it with him, the joke being Austin couldn't believe he agreed that easily and he had to call him back to confirm. We all know Vince hates losers almost as much as he loves winners. He's gotta be thinking "well goddamn, I better make sure I live to 150! none of these weaklings can get the job done!"
April 13, 20214 yr comment_5947392 Awesome, awesome interview with Jericho. Would I listen to his advice or take him seriously about politics or basically any aspect of the real world? Not a chance! But he has an elite mind for wrestling. The youngsters in AEW are lucky to be under his learning tree. Question: There was news or a clip that Jericho mentioned Sammy Guevara on the show, but I don't remember seeing that on the actual episode. Was it cut or did I just miss it?
April 13, 20214 yr comment_5947410 It was fantastic. I love listening to these two talk about wrestling. This format is especially great because you get to see them watching footage and commenting on it. I love Austin's enthusiasm when he shows his interviewee the clips. There's a bonus clip on the YouTube channel where Jericho is talking about Eddie. Calls him one of the greatest all rounders ever and mentions a great little tag match he had with him against the Faces of Fear on Nitro in 1997. Neat because that was one of a handful of Faces of Fear TV matches I remember really liking when I watched '97 Nitro.

That was in a "answer these questions in 60 seconds"-type promo ahead of the whole interview. They have been doing that lately, those or "word association in 60 seconds" like they did with Randy Orton. Those never end up being part of the interviews themselves, just something they throw out there as a promo a few days before the episode itself.
June 2, 20214 yr comment_5954089 The Stone Cold interview with The Godfather wasn't bad. Nothing earth-shattering, but you do get to see a couple of pics of what the revamped Papa Shango would've looked like. A fun, breezy hour and a half.
June 3, 20214 yr comment_5954158 How has the Peacock migration been going? On track to have everything up by Summerslam?
June 3, 20214 yr comment_5954187 Considering they still dont have any pre-2019 Smackdown, ECW TV, or SNME, they're really getting lazy. But hey, they recently uploaded the Edge and Christian show at least!
June 3, 20214 yr comment_5954189 Yeah unless there's a mega dump between now and then (and Summerslam isn't until mid August so I guess it's technically possible) it's not looking good that they will make that goal. It's really discouraging since I've been going back to watch ECW PPVs and there's so much that was available before that is still missing.
June 3, 20214 yr comment_5954199 Are the SNMEs uploaded yet? I let my subscription run out last month, and last I had it, they had not uploaded the SNMEs. Really weird to me that they would start uploading Clash of Champions before SNME, particularly given the fact that Peacock is NBC property and SNME was also an NBCU show
June 6, 20214 yr comment_5954467 They seemed to have another mini burst of uploading, now ECW TV from 93-96 is all up and they added more WCW shows.

I look forward to hearing from the people anxiously scanning for this if they've made any new edits to the ECW shows to fit Peacock standards.

A buddy of mine watched Heatwave '98 the other day and said Bubba calling the fan a "fat, bald, motherfucker" and telling the girl in the front row that her mother taught her how to suck dick was all still in there.
June 8, 20214 yr comment_5954633 I haven't seen any editing for content of anything. All kinds of breezy racism and crazy shit even on randomly weekly TV shows in the 80s/90s that aren't edited for content, no editing of New Jack or Benoit or any other problematic fella. I haven't even actually seen any disclaimers like the non-Peacock version had.
June 9, 20214 yr comment_5954685 Was watching an old PPV on the Network yesterday and noticed that they're advertising Hell in a Cell but not In Your House. I know its not a big shocker to anyone how little promotion actually goes towards NXT, but one would think they (the WWE, NBC/Universal) would at least run an ad or two on the Network itself. If it wasn't for this forum and r/sc, I wouldn't even know there was an NXT show this weekend.
June 9, 20214 yr comment_5954697 Yeah the only thing that seems to be edited (other than the music for obvious reasons) was Brian Pillman calling Johnny B Badd a homophobic slur before their match at Bash 91. That was done pre-Peacock I believe.
July 7, 20214 yr comment_5956711 Peacock has added back all of the World Class and the limited amount of Smokey Mountain that was previously up. So apparently they are attempting to follow up on that SummerSlam promise!
July 7, 20214 yr comment_5956715 I dove into Peacock a little bit because I was reading the Gary Hart book and wanted to watch some World Class, and boy is that navigation not at all made for someone with a wrestling or archivist brain.

What? You don't have fond memories of Season 4, Episode 18 of World Class! Yeah, it's the shits.

I actually think the TV shows aren't terrible - I feel like we've been calling the years "seasons" for a while. It's more disorienting that the show "Money in the Bank" has 7 seasons, each one show. Literally no one has ever called them that.
July 7, 20214 yr comment_5956727 I don't really have an issue with Peacock. It is weird that it clearly wasn't built for sports despite NBC Sports being a big part of the platform, but ultimately they're not going to redo their whole formatting for one section of the platform. It is much, much easier and faster to search through the Xfinity menus than Peacock itself. However ultimately it's free for me and I end up watching a lot of shit on it I otherwise wouldn't just because it's conveniently available to me.
July 18, 20214 yr comment_5957338 Either this is very recent or it just slipped by me, mid-south and mid-Atlantic episodes have been added to Peacock. It gives me hope that JCP and hidden gems will follow. I didn’t notice them when I was browsing tonight. I agree with all the comments that the “season” stuff is horrendous but I did find it interesting that the earliest available mid-Atlantic shows on Peacock from 1981 were referred to as “season 9.”
