Does anyone else have problems searching for stuff on the PS3? For starters, the interface sucks because every letter is on a single line rather than a QWERTY display, and moving from letter to letter takes forever. But aside from that, when I type in a term... nothing seems to happen. Want to grace myself with Robocop this morning, but when I search for Robocop, nothing happens. There's no enter button, there's no "search now" button - the cursor just blinks in the search box forever. I know the show is there, and searching on the website yields the result. It can't just be me, right?

The dots are neat, but I can't advanced directly TO a dot. If I'm watching a show and need to stop halfway through, I have to fast-forward to where I left off manually. Is there no way to "page forward"/move ahead a chapter? Seems exactly like what the dots would be for.

nasboat posted:It's L1/R1 on the PS4 app, at least. No luck there. Sometimes when searching, a list of suggested terms will pop up in the input field for you to select from. Sometimes, no suggestions are given at all so it's just sort of a dead screen. I started searching "chi" and got a ton of suggestions; completed my thought with "town" and got no suggestions and no way to complete my search. Assuming it's some weird issue but I dunno, kind of frustrating. At least everything is split up really well and is easy to find.

I was charged $9.99 when I first signed up for the network, which according to the help on the site is just a temporary hold. It'd been there all week, so I called today to see what the deal was; I didn't want to be charged for the first week, then charged again for March. Called support today and it was an awful, awful time. I'm not sure what the woman's first language was, but it definitely wasn't English and it made it very hard to figure anything out. She just kept starting every sentence with "Okay, okay, okay, okay" before trying to explain things. She may have canceled my account? Maybe not? The charge may just be the first month of my subscription? She said I was charged because I have now exceeded the 7-day trial period, but I was charged on the 25th, so that doesn't make any sense. I just gave up eventually. I flat-out told her that I didn't want to cancel my account, I just didn't want to be charged twice. "Okay, okay, okay, okay - don't worry about the $9.99 charge.". Okay? I don't know. That sucked. I did get AJ's theme music while I was on hold, though, which I thought was pretty funny. Wrestler theme songs as hold music... nice touch.

What's the general consensus on Fall Brawl/War Games 97? I've always remembered Hennig smashing Flair's head in the cage door to be particularly brutal, but I haven't actually seen the match again since it originally aired on PPV. Was thinking of watching that today, but man, the rest of the card doesn't sound very good at all (aside from Eddy/Jericho for the Cruiserweight Title).

I'm trying to watch Wrestlemania 24 and it keeps happening every couple of minutes. I was getting the video skipping forward this morning when I was watching an old episode of RAW. The audio stayed in sync the whole time, but there were maybe four or five times where everything just jumped a few seconds. Crush had Lex Luger in an armbar, then suddenly he was on the turnbuckle yelling at multiple Doinks in the crowd.

Burt Buckle posted:Not entirely clear on how their old WCW/ECW vault works. Do episodes just get rotated through like 'This week watch ECW Hardcore TV #14!' and then that episode is gone and replaced by another episode the next week? Or are episodes of things getting added and left in the catalog to be viewed whenever you want? I'm pretty sure the episodes remain; all 15 episodes of the original RAW are still up, as are the seemingly random 8 episodes of ECW Hardcore TV. I think the problem is that they don't always display properly. On my PS3, I couldn't find RAW Episode 14, and the search sucks so bad on that system's app that I couldn't find it by searching. On a computer, though, I was able to search and find the episode despite it not being displayed on the actual show page.

Watching Flair/Hogan from MSG in 91 and they're attempting to black out Flair's "Real World Title"; the censoring is real bad, though, and you can clearly see that it's just one of the Tag Team Titles. I had always heard about that, but never saw it until now.

I haven't watched many older WWE PPVs on the Network yet, but I know from previous viewing of 90s-era PPVs that every match felt like it had a reason. Watching Royal Rumble 99 with some casual-fan friends, each match had a video package before it; when the match started, everyone knew who was involved, why they were involved and had a favorite. I wish they would still do video packages for every match on a PPV, even if it's a minute-long video. It really adds so much to the experience.

Episodes of RAW aren't going up staggered; they're adding a new episode every day of the work week (I don't think they add new ones on the weekend). They're up to like episode 24 now, every morning at 9 or 10 AM. I'm assuming they'll start adding episodes of Nitro (and maybe Thunder) when they kick off the Monday Night War series.

I think I forgot how long Doink's heel run was; I always just remembered really digging him as a heel and then being disappointed when he became a boring face clown. But man, Doink loving ruled as a heel. Really great matches and he just cut this promo on Savage on RAW where two other Doinks appeared, and he just starts laughing like a maniac. Really a shame that they turned him.

I watched Main Event today and there was absolutely no commentary during the Divas match at all. Both of the commentators + AJ were talking during the match, but they had no audio through the whole match and the replay afterward. Did this happen live, or did they remove the commentary audio after the fact for some reason?

What was the general reaction to Summer Slam 1993? This is the one where Luger faces Yokozuna for the WWF Title in the spirit of USA vs Japan, and Luger wins by count out. The faces then come out and they have this huge loving celebration, but even as a kid I thought it was incredibly stupid because he won by COUNT OUT and, therefore, didn't win the title. Why celebrate so much? The crowd even seemed to be going bonkers but it just seemed, and seems, so dumb. Spoilered just in case anyone is watching the events as they happen along with the daily/weekly addition of classic RAW episodes.

Yes, by all accounts he's a racist dirtbag in real life, but I haven't seen/heard him do anything too offensive in these things. He just talks SO drat MUCH. I don't think it's out of any kind of malice or trying to get himself over, he just likes to talk.

JR does seem to be a little harder to understand as he gets older. Just from one-off interviews I've seen and some of the later Legends of Wrestling stuff, he definitely doesn't seem to be as understandable as he once was. That being said, I still loving love him and would be absolutely ecstatic to hear him on TV every week, or even just at the PPVs. He's the voice of pro-wrestling to me; I grew up with Vince, Jesse, Gorilla and The Brain in the 80's, but as a teen and onward in the 90's JR definitely became the voice that was most attached to wrestling. I miss him.

Countdown ruled but I probably would have reversed The Outsiders and Cena. The Outsiders debut was the spark for the madness of the Monday Night War and the nWo, so it felt kind of silly to have it at number 10. I also felt like Jericho could have been number one. His debut was pretty great. It's a bummer that they threw things like The Rock and Cena in there; their debuts weren't really that hot, they just turned into big stars.

Doing the deed and watching New Blood Rising now. That ladder match was rough. It wasn't bad, but it was just SO FAST that none of the spots could even sink in. Tank was great, though. Watching this weird Muta match now. He looks so much better bald. It also never ceases to amaze me how bad WCW's production values were. The set is so rinky dink, the lighting makes it look even worse and the opening video package was just so bad. I dot understand how you stay in business that long and never get better at the simple/easy to see stuff.

The original set is the only actual good, high quality picture so that helps it look good, too. If they had just put a big screen above that it would have been fine. The show always looked off on TV too, though. Like it was always smokey or softened or something. It just didn't look crisp.

I think it could also be a case of everyone being so incredibly emotional to begin with. Starting with Tony's story, every story was SO loving heavy and had everyone either in tears or pretty drat close to being in tears. That emotion isn't just going to go away once you start talking about yourself. Once he started talking about himself, he could have still been pretty emotional from that insane Duggan story or Gene talking about his wife giving him a kidney. That poo poo was rough. Maybe he never proclaimed it to anyone and it was just a thing people "found out" or assumed or whatever. Maybe he wasn't "technically" closeted in the sense that he didn't let anyone know he was gay, but I have a feeling that a pro wrestler from that era was closeted for most of his career and then just sort of stayed that way despite everyone pretty much knowing the truth.
