AT the risk of sounding like I'm on the WWE's payroll I love the network. For an old school rasslin junkie it's so fun. Been on a huge Ric Flair kick lately. He was on fire from 1987-1990. Great match after great match.

i find myself a bit overwhelmed when i try to go on there and decide what to watch. is it possible to search for certain wrestlers and have PPVs and stuff with their matches on them pop up? so far ive had it since november and only watched 3 old PPVs, the One Night Only where RVD beat Cena, the 07 Rumble and i think starcade 2000, one of the last ones anyway because i wasnt really watching much at the end and as a huge NWA/WCW fan growing up i wanted to see how bad of a dumpster fire it had become at the end :lol: i just struggle to figure out what i wanna watch because there is SO much on there. i have watched quite a bit of NXT and all the live PPVs

Yeah, if you do a search for a specific wrestler a bunch of his matches will pop up.

Luger is the worst. My brother and I used to love laughing at the ridiculous noises he used to make.

Indeed. Flair and Steamboat got really good matches out of him. The matches with Sting are ok.

The noises were terrible haha. I also didn't like Lex. I never really bought him as the all American guy in WWF. That originally was going to be Sid but he said no to Vince's pitch.

Lex pulled off the Narcissist character well in 1993.

my only familiarity with wcw back then were magazines in the grocery store...we didn't have cable until i was a good bit older

i started watching wwf broadcasts when i was younger and hogan, savage, warrior and such were in there prime...when raw came on i watched it a little bit, but didn't really get back into wrestling until nitro debuted...i became hardcore wcw then

It is overwhelming. Between numbers and I if you are ever curious when a match was I bet there is a good chance we know. :?

NXT is the shit. So entertaining.

Rumble 2007 was fun. LOVE that Cena/Umaga match. Brutal as hell.

the last PPV i ordered back in the day was the Mania with the 4 way match for the title that i think was Foley's "Final" match, so if there are any must see shows between then and now then id love the recommendations, the wife is heading out of town again tomorrow and will probably try to watch a bunch on sunday.

Wrestlemania 17 was so, so good. I taped the PPV and watched it until the tape didn't work anymore. I don't have WWE Network, but I hope it exists someday if I get really sick.

Last March I think it was I had a 103 temp and just stayed in bed all day. Watched a lot of 80's stuff. Made my day great.
