June 6, 20187 yr comment_5852230 Lol, for sure. Absolutely. I'll be fine as long as they do at least 1 match every week, but you are definitely correct.
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852241 Not only is a fucking Kane match, this isn't even a new match, it's on youtube for fuck sakes and has been there for a decade.
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852242 I personally don't see what everyone is bitching about. Will it be a great match? Well, no, but seeing Kane vs. a pre-Batista Leviathan in a monster mash-up sounds pretty intriguing to me.
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852243 Because people expect each upload to be some previously unseen gem from the 70s or 80s, and anything else is a massive insult.
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852244 I personally don't see what everyone is bitching about. Will it be a great match? Well, no, but seeing Kane vs. a pre-Batista Leviathan in a monster mash-up sounds pretty intriguing to me. Here you go, it's been on youtube since 2007 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8AFNP3uSYU
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852249 It's going to be random. One week we'll get something awesome ala Piper vs Valentine, next week we'll get developmental, before they were stars stuff. Hopefully more of the former
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852250 On the one hand, we all know that. On the other hand, we didn't know that 100% until a few hours ago. There were still different possibilities. Really, it's last week that we should have been disappointed after that initial dump and the poor messaging. It just didn't set in until today.
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852254 Well, on the positive side, next week Pete and I are going to do a pod on Holy Grails, so maybe that will put a smile on people's faces in these tough times
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852255 Just so long as you're making Pete watch a Kane match that I don't have to see. We're going to watch some unearthed Brazos instead. To hell with the man and his vast, vast library of wrestling footage from 1983.
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852259 Haha...I've made Pete watch some garbage, but I can proudly say I've never made him watch Kane
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852262 Oh, Matt..calm the fuck down for Christ's sake. They re-introduced it with a big drop and now there just might be one a week. And guess what,Sunshine? There's a lot of wrestling they have that shockingly might be interesting to people beside us. Finding ways to bitch about this while it's happening makes me want to eat my own head. Love ya, buddy but for fucks sake.
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852265 I'd like to ignore Johnny, including the easy line about how he can't eat his head because it's up his own ass, because that's just weird, and talk more about how Pete's going to have to watch this match:
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852268 Here you go, it's been on youtube since 2007 In what appears to be absolutely abysmal quality. The Network version has to look better than that...right? Anyway, I stand by what I said before - it surely won't be a "five-star classic," but it sounds like an intriguing match and I think people will gravitate toward it.
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852269 Can someone fix the YouTube links deal or is that just the way it is now?
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852270 Can someone fix the YouTube links deal or is that just the way it is now? Glad you said something - I thought it was only me. I had to quote Phil's original post just to get the link.
June 7, 20187 yr comment_5852351 Remember not everyone easily finds these before they were stars matches like us lot have done in the past. To your average network viewer its a unique match to watch Batista before he was Batista. Theres more than one type of viewer and we dont represent the entire audience. Previously we were getting a drop of roughly 20 matches once a year, most of which were Leviathan/Kane type releases. Now were getting 52 releases a year. Even if we only get one hidden gem by our definition every six weeks were still getting more than we did beforehand.
June 8, 20187 yr comment_5852447 I personally don't see what everyone is bitching about. Will it be a great match? Well, no, but seeing Kane vs. a pre-Batista Leviathan in a monster mash-up sounds pretty intriguing to me. I think people want a hidden gem to be something new never seen before like a OVW dark match.
June 8, 20187 yr comment_5852456 Given what they have, trickle down wrestlenomics still stinks. Looking forward to starting Laissez-Faire Championship Wrestling one day.

June 8, 20187 yr comment_5852484 Well, I took a gander at the Leviathan-Kane match on the Network. It's either the exact same video uploaded to YouTube or something only slightly better - the quality is still abysmal. How the hell does footage from 2001 look this bad?! I didn't bother watching the match because the video was so poor.
June 8, 20187 yr comment_5852486 Watching OVW footage from that era leads me to believe the actual footage itself is poor quality. Maybe that's why they haven't put a ton up on the network.
June 8, 20187 yr comment_5852498 Any chance they'll put up whole shows eventually? I'm trying to think of what could go there that wouldn't exactly fit anywhere else on the Network.
