I'm still getting bad skipping around during Wednesday's NXT show. Not happening with any other video and I don't think I've had this issue before. Did anyone manage to watch it successfully on demand?

I've started what will probably be a life-long project of watching every Raw and Nitro from the debut of Nitro to the end of Nitro. As of late 1995, Raw is even worse than it is now. One hour feels like an entire 3 hour modern Raw. I don't even care that no one but Hogan matters in WCW, Nitro is simply a far better show at this point.

I tried to watch it on PS4 and PS3 and had the bad skipping but watching on my PC it was fine.

I am almost to the end of 1996 for Nitro only. I have not started the RAWs yet. I am not looking forward to the pain of those RAWs you are speaking of.

I tried that, and made it up until Superbrawl 1998. I think my mistake was trying to watch the Thunders too before I got burned out.

I never watched wrestling till like a week before WM30, I had to know why the SHIELD was so good. And yeah, I'm definitely retarded cause I'm gonna get a Punk/Bryan stylized tattoo for New Years. Don't judge me.

I watched ECW Barely Legal for the first time, last week. If I had seen it when I was 15, I would have run away from home to try and be a part of that crowd, and I would be dead now, after spending many years homeless.

Wrestling is good.

It's extremely similar but leans way more heavily towards getting perspectives on wrestling events from whatever celebrities they could rope in rather than actual wrestlers.

The List just feels like a less structured Countdown. I don't know, it just feels like an excuse to rehash the same stuff from Countdown and I can't get into it.

I wish they'd bring back countdown and show me more obscure things, like oddest Hardcore Title wins or something.

My gf is enjoying watching WWE with me. I've shown her my favourite matches (Punk v Cena, Bret v Bulldog, Taker v Foley HIAC, TLC 2) but listening to the Lapsed Fan podcast has reminded me of classic wwf ppvs. Do you think Rumble 92 would be enjoyable to someone who knows few if any of the wrestlers? Also is Warrior v Macho King from WM7 still good going in cold?

EDIT sorry just seen this is network not general questions thread. Apologies. Thanks in advance for any help.

Rumbles are slow paced enough that you can probably fill in the blanks for her while it's on.

Rumbles are fun in general even if you don't know who the wrestlers are.

Warrior vs Macho King still holds up but not sure about going in cold. Warrior changed up his normal mannerism for this match such as running to the ring at full speed so you kinda lose the idea that Warrior is going into the match a little more seriously than usual.

Interesting point. I think it might be doable but explaining the context behind the match would be good. Without checking I presume prematch there is a package possibly of the rumble 1991 title change? Is Elizabeth's appearance in the crowd explained? I think she might like the drama.

I also liked how the narrator/announcer addressed him by name. Plenty of room for tweaking but the show has life to it.

I wish countdown and list could coexist. Wrestlers on countdown. Comedians on list. The comedians are great because they're just fans like us but funnier.

They were close to the same age as us watching Akeem turn into a black man or tugboat wipeout on his face.

Watching season 2 of Tough Enough and the entire Jackie cheating on her boyfriend subplot is deeply uncomfortable and hosed up. The dude she kissed acting a total dickhead and going after her even after she says repeatedly that she wants nothing to do with him "HELL YEAH, HOPE I RUINED HER RELATIONSHIP NOW SHE'S ALLLLLLL MINE", her boyfriend being a complete tool by hanging up on her every time she calls and sending her a Fedex package of some song lyrics (what the gently caress?), and finally her mom going on an insane rant about men letting women have too much freedom and respect :stare:.

Seriously, it's really hosed up and awful.

Yeah I found that whole arc to be tasteless on several letters as well as not truly representative of the complexities thst often exist between people in a relationship to say nothing of how her mother came across and I often wondered just what led people to make seemingly poor decisions in situations and I had to reconcile myself to the fact that i would never understand the thought processes behind the whole show nor what would possess the actors to allow themselves to be portrayed in such a negative light.

Otoh remember when her boob popped out on tv? Nice.

I mean, Jackie comes off the best to be honest. She made a mistake yeah, but she's incredibly remorseful and tries to make it right and everyoen else is acting like a supreme piece of poo poo. The dude she kissed acts like an enormous creep and there's this weird feeling like we should sympthaize with him even though he's being a massive jackass.

The mom's rant was out of nowhere and holy poo poo she seemed like an awful human being. Like you can tell she's disgusted with her daughter for wanting to be a wrestler and not a stay at home wife.
