TSC's Official WWE Network Thread

Yea I know the hard camera for for in ring promos, could have swore for backstage promos in the WWE they were supposed to look in the camera or when they are being interviewed

Nah they're always looking off into the distance on backstage promos. shyt is weird. They don't look at the interviewer, they don't look into the camera, they just look...off and do their promo, then walk off, and then the interviewer stands and ponders what they just heard instead of throwing it back to the announcers.

It's so bizarre.

Todd Grisham was the worst at this

@ the trend of the nWo jumping the Horsemen and the WCW guys every single week on Nitro and then following it up by just winning the PPV match damn near completely clean. Just horrific booking there. Making their babyfaces look like complete losers.

I watched the NXT Worlds Collide thing last night and had some thoughts:

Is it more awkward to wrestle or do stand up in front of a silent crowd?

You gotta feel for all the NXT alumni guys who commentary all had the same story for: They've had a hard time on the main roster and are looking to see if they still have it.

You can tell who still wants it and who doesn't when you look at their bodies. Compare Harper to Tyler Breeze in this instance. Harper is in probably the best shape of his career, making sure people online knew this was a big deal to him, and put it all on the line. Tyler Breeze is literally in the worst shape of his entire WWE run from FCW to today, looked bored, sad, and tired. What's more surprising is that they gave wins to Harper and Breeze. When they were hyping up Tyler's NXT run, it is really wild how important he was to the early expansion era of NXT (I mean really, he's the guy they picked for Liger, after all) and how he's done absolutely nothing on the main roster but be in a joke tag team doing online comedy skits. I suppose it's easy to not hold it against him that he doesn't particularly give a shyt anymore.

Sanity should get sent to NXT UK. UK needs all the help they can get, but Dain and Wolfe were bigger in the UK/Europe than they ever were known in the US to begin with, and it's quite clear they're never going to get used on the main roster. They got called up after WM last year and have had all of 9 matches on TV, including 2 pre-show matches, and losing a 3-1 handicap match to Miz. Send Nikki Cross, too. Leave EY in Canada.

After all these years of back breakers, I'm amazed Roddy has never fukked up his knee/ankle or had a full blown Sid moment. Speaking of, Dijak is definitely going to have one doing his Fosbury Flop.

Man how over was Ryback in 2012? Sure he was a bad worker and all. But he had entire arenas chanting feed me more. I thought he'd be all up in the main event scene within a couple years, but no they fukked up his character through shytty writing (mainly a lame heel run and being the shields bytch)

I wasn’t even a big Ryback fan, but this moment was they should’ve gave him the keys during this time.

loved Breeze's early work (a sucker for flamboyant heels) but looking back, its crazy how a lot of those guys from the expansion era of NXT ( Zayn, Neville, Breeze, Harper etc) have done anything on the main roster

Does anyone know what the holdup is over Wrestling Challenge not being on the network?

I remember they aired it on I believe WWE 24/7 back in the day.

According to a report from PWInsider, WWE and Ric Flair have filed for some pretty interesting trademarks.

WWE has filed a trademark for “WWE Stomping Grounds.”

Early speculation brings up the possibility of this being the name for the new WWE talk show that is set to debut in October on FS1.

However, we have also heard in recent months that WWE is looking to reboot a show similar to Tough Enough.

Time will tell what, if anything, this trademark is leading to.

Ric Flair, on the other hand, has trademarked some very interesting terms including “King of Drip.” As of late, Ric Flair has been seen as and somewhat of a mascot for hip hop

Good question...

I know Superstars is only on there, and it's the episodes from after they shortened the name from 'Superstars of Wrestling' cause that guy owns the copyrights to that name so it would mean all their episodes would be all cut up and blurred out (which sucks)...

I'm guessing Challenge will show up eventually. They just dumped like 30 Mid-South episodes on there last week, so they always have content that just hasn't been dropped yet. I'm also looking fwd to when/if they put episodes of NWA Pro and WorldWide on there.

I want them early episodes of Shotgun Saturday Night
