They've added a lot of the old stuff in the last few months. Most of the Nitros are in there now(I think everything up until mid 1999, and anything after that period was barely watchable anyway,) all the WCW PPVs are in there, a lot of the old WCW show from the late 80s/early 90s were added, and a bunch of stuff from 80s territories.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:yeah i thought about doing that too...a few months ago i was really considering cancelling cable and picking up the network, but at that time i thought i could watch raw/smackdown as they aired live, and i thought they had more older programs i.e. all old nitro's, thunders, ppv's etc...) in their catalogue....i just got my car paid off and my job situation in order so i decided to keep cable, and since i also have netflix and amazon prime adding the wwe network is just too much tv at this pointABNorman wrote:I've had 3 free months with 3 different emails, so I dunno if that's an easy option.

I missed out on most of it too, but I imagine that while he was awesome it was probably frustrating watching them misuse him.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:i'm sure i've said it here before, but based on the few youtube clips/videos i've seen of him, i really hate i missed his eraMecca wrote:I watched Money in the Bank 2011 last night to familiarize myself with CM Punk more

Re: Official WWE/Pro Wrestling thread
one stat i recall that sums up how they handled punk: cm punk was their champion for 450 days or something close - basically unheard of in this era - and main evented 5 of the 17 ppvs that occurred during that time. a punk v. bryan match was even part of the undercard of a ppv headlined by cena/john laurinaitis.
ah, copperplate, a font for the truly modern man.

Punk's work with Jeff Hardy is what brought me back to wrestling.

I think his Mania match with the Undertaker is really underrated, Taker's best match with someone other than HBK.

Punk brought me back in with his stuff in late 2011; I missed the pipe bomb/leaving the company stuff (but was able to catch up with it later). He just had such a magnetic presence and was a great worker. His exit was one reason I don't watch the product much lately.

I'd love to get to see him work with the new crop of guys that came in from the indies after he left too.

HHH wasn't innocent in the Punk thing, but I think the decision to take the title out of the main event was probably Vince's.

Re: Official WWE/Pro Wrestling thread
oh, not a total surprise, but sting is retiring. sucks he has to go out like that. he busted his ass in that rollins match and i think there are worse ways his last match ever could have gone, but you know he didn't want it to end that way.

So I'm going to the house show in buffalo tonight. Wasn't planning on it, but a friend has an extra ticket. New Day isn't listed as a part of either show going on tonight, but I'm still going to wear my shirt

Nothing specific, just a general feeling. You've got Michael Cole yelling "Booty!" constantly during their matches now, I dunno, we will see.

That new guy that does the PBP on Smackdown is awesome, 10x better than Cole or anyone else they have.
