TSC's Official WWE Network Thread

[Coyote]

Started watching Beach Blast 92 and there's a bunch of grandmas sitting in the front row. Like legit 70 year old women. Just something I've never seen before watching a wrestling show

Now you're making me want to watch this crap again:

Man I remember this shyt

The worst part of it was HARLEY RACE was so down on his luck to be the host of the show

Harley, the same dude that pulled a gun on WWF dudes for being in St. Louis in the 80s.

I've never watched an episode of Ride Along, am I sleeping? Figured it was just more scripted and contrived humor by WWE, which we already have enough of on the regular weekly shows.

if its scripted then they fooled me.

usually 2 wrestlers are leaving an event and ride to the next city together reminiscing on shyt. they cuss and everything (censored of course)

its short so u can fly by all the episodes in a week on some binge shyt

nothing too exciting but definitely not too boring.

Just dropped 20 eps from 1982 World Class at www.legitshook.com

LOTS of Great Kabuki, Al Madril, and Bugsy McGraw on those shows. LOTS. Also the indomitable Gary Hart, some family of rednecks, the Freebirds, Ric Flair, King Kong Bundy, and some other losers.

The last show of the year has the start of the Von Erichs/Freebird feud, and essentially the whole thing is started by Michael Hayes being a c*nt.

Looking at the past few Posts,when exactly did Wrestling Fans in General go from Adults(And Seniors)to Kids/Teens?

 

[stro]

I'd say it started in the late 80s with WWF being sold directly to kids, which carried over for them for most of the 90s, and then they targeted teens during the AE.

Them ECW gifs:

End of the first segment of the first show, which was a 10 minute Raw style promo featuring Cena, Edge, Heyman, and RVD. Cena randomly decks Heyman for literally no reason after Edge speared RVD and ran into the crowd.

They follow that up by airing the entire King vs Tazz "match" from ONS from start to finish.

THEN they follow that up with THE ZOMBIE, needlessly taking pot shots at the network airing the show and WWE gimmicks in general. I think this was supposed to be some meta commentary that maybe would have worked in Philly in 1996, but not in some random city in 2006 that people paid to see Smackdown at. This was a continuation of Sandman's new gimmick that he started at ONS, beating the shyt out of actual gimmick characters starting with Eugene, which was ultra fukked to have a few thousand people roaring as this drunk beat the fukk out of a mentally handicapped character that had asked for a hug and literally BEGGED to stop being hit.

Kurt squashes one of the longest reigning ECW champions in Justin Credible, then a young girl randomly strips.

Because of Cena punching Paul, he "threw out the script" and booked an EXTREME BATTLE ROYAL with the winner going on to face Cena at Vengeance. Of course, it's 9 ECW originals and Big Show, who utterly destroyed 8 of them before being eliminated from behind by Sabu with help from Big Guido.

So, the first show was centered around a Raw PPV, John Cena and Edge took up about 12 minutes of a 42 minute (without commercials) show talking, a comedy gimmick/match, worked shoot booking, and established WWE stars dominating established ECW stars.

But then things continue and you get Sandman continuing his new comedy gimmick while using an actual ex-ECW talent as a complete unknown bump (EVEN IN PHILLY)

MORE John Cena and Edge (and Randy Orton)

MORE established WWE talent killing ECW guys

And finally RVD being a moron forcing them to change plans for the rest of the year and turn PAUL HEYMAN heel on RVD (and therefore ECW as a whole) to get the title on to Big Show in a redux of the Brock/Show angle from 2002 IN PHILLY.

Oh and btw, there is a VAMPIRE that follows each show around because Paul Heyman heard blood sucking clubs were hot at the time

What are Big Shows bossest moments in ecw?

 

[stro]

Probably throwing Ric Flair on thumbtacks, which I think is the next show after he won the title.

 

[Ku$h Parker]

Watching this Macho Man/DDP feud bubble up leading up to Uncensored 97

They dropped like 100 eps of ecw all at once.

What's the best ECW Year to watch?

 

[DosCadenaz]

Putting my nephew onto dope shyt. He's a fan of rikishi obviously he thinks stink face is hilarious. So I'm putting on Armageddon 2000 so he can watch Rikishi get tossed off the cell
