Memento posted:This is only peripherally-related to wrestling talk, but does the WWE Network still use flash player? UFC fightpass uses it, and as far as I can tell, has about a year to roll out something else, and no announced plans to do so. No, they updated it a couple of months ago.

Gaz-L posted:Vince has a very specific idea of what a good match is, so if that was what was on, I imagine he'd watch and enjoy. Vince Russo is the one I'm not sure actually likes wrestling as much as lovely bigoted melodrama. I've always thought Vince Russo thinks he likes wrestling, but is actually bored by most of it. That's why he always needs to make things more interesting, by adding a gimmick to every match and a swerve to every angle.

Pope Corky the IX posted:How long after Taker’s debut did Paul Bearer show up? I know he came out with Brother Love at the ‘90 Survivor Series, but I don’t remember if it lasted all that long. Wikipedia says that Paul Bearer debuted in February of 1991, so Taker was only with Brother Love for like three months.

Ganso Bomb posted:I was watching one of the Twitch streams playing old WCW stuff a couple of weeks ago when Raven was making his debut. He was in the crowd sitting and sulking with Stevie doing his thing behind him, but I don't actually remember Stevie doing much of anything in the Flock. Was he ever actually in The Flock proper once Raven stopped being just a dude in the crowd? I think he may have been gone from WCW by the time The Flock was really a thing.

MassRafTer posted:He was called Syxx-Pac and now that he joined DX he became X-Pac. It's that simple. Wasn't he just Syxx in WCW? Because he was the sixth member of the NWO. The Syxx-Pac moniker didn't come until much later, when he joined TNA, and they combined "Syxx" with "X-Pac".

Nick Jr. Face posted:I feel like they stopped listening to the fans once the Network started, which was long after Batista's initial push in the mid-aughts That makes sense. There's no reason to listen to the fans if you no longer have to sell each individual PPV.

Quid posted:I think he played it straight since he was still the blueblood but I remember laughing at him losing the hog pen match against Henry O Godwin. The first like two years of HHH's WWE career was mostly just a rich guy getting humiliated by pig farmers and garbage men. I don't really think that counts, because this would have been before he had any real influence backstage, so he couldn't really say no yet.

Pope Corky the IX posted:And the Rick/Scott match was stopped almost immediately for a twenty minute segment where Buff pretended to break his neck again. Which means they had to drag the angle on even longer, somehow getting Chucky from Child's Play involved???

Kosmo Gallion posted:When was the first time WWE returned to Montreal after the screwjob? Backlash 03? Or were there any shows before this? Looks like it may have been 10/18/01 Smackdown, at least for televised shows. Not sure if there were any earlier house shows. Edit: Looks like there was a house show on 3/6/98 https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=35704 Super Dan fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Sep 6, 2022 |

CopywrightMMXI posted:What’s the best repacking of a comedy character into a serious threat? I don't know if it counts because there's more than a decade between gimmicks, but Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry to Hall of Pain Mark Henry was pretty effective. I honestly don't remember what he was doing in between those times.

Pope Corky the IX posted:I wasn't watching WCW much at the time and I'm confused...Buff Bagwell was doing the Chucky laugh like a year before Chucky showed up? I'm not sure what you mean by this. Buff Bagwell did like, a cocky heel laugh sometimes, but it didn't sound anything like Chucky. In the few weeks leading up to the Chucky thing, they would play the Chucky laugh during promos that involved Buff Bagwell/Scott Steiner/Rick Steiner. But Buff was not the one doing the laugh.

I always thought everyone had a contract with Time-Warner. What WWE bought was just the intellectual property and tape library. Anyone who wanted to work for Vince immediately had the option of taking a buyout from TW. Am I wrong on that?

On the topic of what-ifs, What if Raw hadn't moved to TNN in 2000? ECW doesn't get cancelled, maybe they don't go out of business, and a few months later WCW dies and they get an influx of talent that WWE didn't have room for, and are now the solid #2 organization. Also TNA wouldn't exist.
