A good rule of thumb is that if it involves WCW doing something incredibly stupid with money, Believe the person saying they were incredibly stupid with money.

I'm wondering how much more mileage they'll have with the Monday Night Wars. The most recent episode could basically be retitled "How Bad Did WCW gently caress Ric Flair?" and ends with Bischoff's 1999 departure. I'm guessing there's going to be: -The Russo/Ferrara Experiment -The WCW 2000 Reboot -The Buyout -Probably a Stephanie and Shane episode -Maybe a Triple H In 2000-2001 episode? -Maybe a "look at how cool the TLC match was" episode? (even though the Rivalries episode with E&C/The Hardys that's coming up will cover a lot of that) But I can't think of much else. Anything I'm obviously missing besides an episode dedicated to the framed Scott Hall photo?

If Nash had said it first I'd be more inclined to believe Bischoff, but despite the drunkenness I've always felt Hall was more sincere.

Bischoff doesn't really have to be believed here, WCW clearly knew their contracts were legit based on how the WWF was forced to change course and the pay records Meltzer was given later on for unrelated reasons. Nash and Hall aren't necessarily lying, just mixing up when and why they got their raises.

It's not the worst concept and I get doing it for legal reasons and to try and hotshot ratings but it was just terrible.

So for the inaugural debut of "WWE Quick Hits" which is a compilation of the various little tiny videos and clips on From The Vault and the like the producers decided that one of the spots they needed to spotlight was showing most of DX in blackface.

I swear that same clip is in like two countdowns and four episodes of Monday Night War. They're weirdly proud of it.

Fool me once WWE.... http://www.wwe.com/wwenetwork/watch-in-united-kingdom-26927624 The Network to launch in the UK on January 19th for £9.99/ €12.99 (not $9.99). I look forward to this getting pulled 5 minutes before launch again.

Chances are they'll remove the region block so you'll be able to just cancel the VPN and it'll work like it should.

Because I prefer to watch Netflix/WWE Network through my TV with Apple TV rather than watch it on my laptop. That convenience is worth £2 a month to me. I seem to have a lot of words left over.... Their customer support is good too? Thats a few extra words.

unblockus has a cool feature [and i'm not sure how it works either] where if your internet has changed such as from an IP change/router reset it will let you know and a quick re-fresh will sort out all of your devices again ready for WWE network/netflix/etc viewing. It also has a nice website/company feel; I've heard that hola is slow and is bad for some other bits. Other than the initial DNS changes and device resets, i've never had to manually muck with anything else since. Good deal, and I can watch Prime time wrestling on the shitter. I've not done the maths, but as a UK person, I get the WWE Network, and overseas browsing content for still less than what I would get for £9.99. If i'm wrong, the 6 dollars something for WWE plus the VPN is not worth uprouting my setup to lose netflix region hopping.

Yeah unblockus owns. And it means I can watch the network and US Netflix through my Playstation. Anyway, started watching Tuesday Night Titans. It's basically comfort viewing. Though the first episode does contain a vaguely racist extended bit where Vince and Lord Alfred have to eat some smelly foreign food.

pressedbunny posted:£9.99 can gently caress off. A US account + VPN is cheaper. Meltzer said on today's Observer podcast that he's heard it's because Sky are getting a cut. So WWE are probably still just making their $9.99 US, but the rest is going to Murdoch in return for not pitching a fit about undercutting PPV prices.

Vince basically said "Russo never had any good ideas ever it was all me and he happened to be there." Aside: Highlight of my wrestling career is telling Russo "you suck" to his face at a TNA PPV and he heard me and gave me the thumbs up. Jokes on me: I paid to go to a TNA PPV!

The funniest part of "The Fall of WCW" episode is when they reference Saturn, Malenko, Guerrero, and Benoit leaving and they show a picture of the four with a separate picture of Guerrero covering up Benoit and Guerrero. e: I take it back. The funniest part is one of Steiner's "hey I'm going out and cutting a promo" deals where he tells the audience to change the channel because "WCW sucks". e2: Haha this episode is gold. Actual Hogan quote - "I had a contract with creative control. Which I had never exercised until this situation" (referring to Bash at the Beach 2000).
