The Warrior doc they put together for the Network is absolutely awesome

and the Daniel Bryan WM diary thing they did is good as well, even if it is way too kayfabe'd for my liking

I attended my first ever WWE live event last night here in Evansville, almost 20 years after I have been invested in any pro wrestling characters. I took my little brother for his birthday, and he kept me in the loop on some of the guys (though the org. Is probably as accessible now as it's ever been). It was remarkable seeing the guys that have been in the game for 20+ years like Mark Henry, Big Show, and RVD. I think I get the John Cena popularity now, he was electrifying.

Well worth $50. One of the more entertaining shows I've ever seen. It makes me wish I would've seen the guys I loved back in the early 90s.

One site speculated it would be 6 matches, 1 year contract, 8 months "active."

Am i the only one that would go crazy if he shows up on tv with the blond hair and crazy colors again instead of the black and white? I saw pictures of Mr Anderson dressed up as old school sting and really made me wish he would go back to it

I didn't like the black and white / quieter Sting. I would love the crazy color version.

the one where warrior gives 'the little engine that could' to vince? there were a few different warrior things available on the network i noticed, but i watched this one this weekend. if it's the same one you're referring to, yeah, it was pretty special. very moving.

Sting-undertaker would be epically bad, strong needs to be working with someone that can carry him to a great match, kinda like michaels did for flair some years back.

yup that one...people can give WWE all the crap they want, but their production values is bar none the best...to think they put that thing together in less than a week is nuts, and for it to look and come out as good as it did, it's crazy

agreed. it's definitely must-see viewing for anyone who has the network. make it a point to watch it; i think it was in the originals section of the content browser.

Vince McMahon just tearing up in that documentary had me choking man. It was a fantastic piece and in such sort notice. The WWE can do stuff like this. I mean this alone should sell the network.

I wasn't a fan of warrior so I haven't watched it, but it's gotten such rave reviews everywhere I probably should.

It's barely an hour, and honestly, it alone makes the current month's charge worth it

That sitdown interview they have on there with Hart and Michaels talking about their careers and the screwjob is fucking awesome. The awkwardness in that room is practically it's own entity. Michaels has basically come clean about the whole thing and made peace with it, but Hart is still SO bitter about it and he cant hide it.

Bret's such a whiny bitch to this day...there was a time where I was on his side in the whole thing, but the more I think about it, the more it's obvious he was completely in the wrong to be the way he was..."I won't lose in Canada"...he honestly seems to think him losing in Canada was/is the same as, for example, Bruno losing in the Garden or the Undertaker losing at WM

I've found that over time my respect for Shawn Michaels has steadily risen and my respect for Bret has decreased. Let it go, dude.

I still think Bret is the better wrestler, though.

I feel the same way, I used to be on his side but understanding the business so much better now, I've turned on him quite a bit.

Well never know if Bret could have kept on having 5 star matches for another 10 years like Shawn did, but that's what puts Shawn ahead of him in my book.

WWE might be the best entertainment value per money spent on a ticket I've ever spent
