WWE didn't want to pay/negotiate for music royalties for whatever reason, so a lot of the WCW themes that are knockoffs of actual songs are dubbed over unfortunately. No licensed music like Voodoo Child and Enter Sandman either

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Music is the bittersweet part of the network.

Voodoo child playing and Michael buffer introducing hogan over it

Never again

A misogynist story line would be nuclear heat in this era

[watching a 98 Raw..Marc Mero/Sable storyline]

I got to throw some respect on Lex Luger's name.

I didn't know he put on so many good matches in the late 80s vs. Steamboat, Michael Hayes, Pillman and of course Flair. Not sure why Flair never jobbed to him, but looking back at it he should have beaten Flair at the Bash...

Anyway fans loved him as a heel. Dude was generally entertaining

One of the brehs on here gave me a account I was using. Then all of a sudden I couldn't use it anymore
Idk if somebody change the password or if the wwe started cracking down on accounts

Digging around for some more rare matches, checked out Snuka/HBK from 1992. It's so weird. HBK had just turned a few weeks prior, so he was still working out the gimmick. COMPLETELY different music, some shyt straight out of a schmaltzy 1950s movie, different pose, different signature bumps and spots. It's very odd.

Also weird to me is that during the Piper/Bruno feud, there were also Pedro/Orton matches on a lot of the same cards, yet they never ran a Bruno/Pedro super team again Piper/Orton. But I say why stop there? During the same period, Hogan was usually defending the belt against either Piper, Savage, or Funk. Imagine the end of the month super card at MSG headlined by Hogan/Bruno/Pedro vs Piper/Orton/Savage (or Funk). I was dying that Bruno spent the whole match smoothing down his hair, yet at the end the camera did a slow zoom into his bald spot.


Really wish they'd make individual matches searchable. Not just send you to a time stamp on the full event. Plus 300 other results. Just search for something like Hogan vs Andre and each match they're in pops up to watch immediately.

 

[Konnan]

Yea thats my only complaint of the network other than my chromecast brehs cant eat

Search feature is ass cheeks

 

[Konnan]

And them not putting shyt up like the Legacy of Stone Cold Steve Austin dvd

Public Enemy's is even worse.

Plus them ECW shows lose a lot of the power without the songs
