Almost every problem I've had with the network stream has been fixed by a browser refresh.

it's a shame it's so awkward to get back to the same point in a VOD after a refresh though - have to run trough the 5 second screen then take wild guesses at what point you were at with the thing jumping around 3/5 mins either side of where you're clicking.

He was legit stripped of the title for being an unreliable rear end in a top hat. In kayfabe it was taken away because he "wasn't defending it enough" or something.

Actually, the kayfabe reason wasn't far off from that - Tunney mentioned that he refused to make appearances and defend the title.

I don't think I kept up on the "Michaels is a big baby jerk" until the "lost my smile" thing, or perhaps earlier than that when Dean Douglas was awarded the title because Shawn (I guess) didn't want to lose to him.

Weird that a dude getting that kind of push and exposure would just be an rear end in a top hat and not show up? That's insane, especially considering what kind of legacy and career he wound up having.

Shawn is the first to admit these days that his head was not in a good place at all when he was young. Between his ego and the drugs he was a pretty awful person. It's kind of amazing how much he was able to turn it around.

Does WWE have any involvement with Oculus? Otherwise this is the first non-WWE commercial I've seen on the Network.

E: N/m, a quick google search says 'yes' and I am a moron for not looking that up. :downs:

It's has the WWE Studios logo on in.

Edit: Yeah, made by WWE Studios. Also starring Karen Gillian I just noticed.

Ric Flair REALLY giving the panel his all.

I don't know, but I think it's going to suck if his other apperances on the show are any indication.

Edit: Fandango and Summer Ray Have good chemistry together.

You get that vibe during the rivalries documentary with Brett. Some of the stuff he doesn't even remember and admits he was a huge rear end in a top hat back then

Well according to Bret, Shawn was zoned the gently caress out on pills half the time, so that would make sense.

There is a three part series of Shield interviews, a Big E Wrestlemania diary video and the New age Outlaws making GBS threads on Josh Matthews for ten solid minutes.
