Jeez. Looks like budget cuts made their mark. Doesn't look as huge as past years.

I'm sure it's not, but this makes it look like it's an elevated ramp all the way to the ring ala Japan and older WCW which is basically my favorite thing ever.

Not excited enough to watch Mania live this year after going to the previous three in person. Gonna go see Big in a theater instead and catch up afterward.

So I learned the Bella Twins are going to be at the Minneapolis Comic Con (and a local radio station will be offering tickets at half price next weekend). How much cred do you think I would get from getting my picture taken with them?

Also a new slate of shows

Including the return of the diva search

PWInsider posted:

Tomorrow, beyond just their updated subscriber numbers, WWE will announce their plans for eight new series that will broadcast exclusively on the WWE Network.
According to Variety, one of those series will be the returning "WWE Diva Search", bringing back the concept that launched the careers of Christy Hemme, Layla, Michelle McCool, Maria Kanellis and more.

Another of the series will be an animated series being produced by Seth Green, the actor and Producer who is also one of the minds behind "Robot Chicken."

Chris Jericho has also been teasing an announcement for tomorrow, so it's possible one of those new series are related to Jericho.

New Diva Search could be either very good or very bad depending on what they want from a Diva this time around.

Yeah sorry. I was up all night watching the Cricket World Cup and I'm not entirely functional yet. My point wasn't that Dave was bullshitting, it's more that WWE is bullshitting about how big the number is. Is it big compared to where they are right now, or is it more in line with where they were hoping to be initially.

My only real problem with the network right now is the lack of Raws from 97-99. There's like, 20 total from those three years. If they actually had those years on there, I'd be way more likely to never let my account lapse since there are so many memorable shows from those years. I imagine the lack of availability has to do with the raunchy/vulgar/violent content from those times but I could be wrong.

As awful and outdated the Diva's search is and was even back in 2004 at least it keeps Kevin Dunn preoccupied masturbating in the production truck.

Kevin Dunn is the mind behind Diva's search. So... ya know.

I'm mainly hoping that WWE decide to drop 1997 Nitro as a big announcement, because I've always wanted to do 1997 WCW again.

They've been regularly adding them from the beginning, and are up to the end of 1996. They did seem to slow down adding them in the last few months though. I'm hoping it's because there's going to be a big thing for the next "season" of the Network, but maybe they think it's not worth the effort. (by 1997 I think they're out of the zone where they'd have to look for licensed music, though)
