TSC's Official WWE Network Thread

[stro]

The only thing I ever liked Russo doing on camera (and he was still annoying with his delivery) was expose and shyt on Hoegan at BOB 2000.

Russo always talks about how he never wanted to be on camera and the first chance he gets he's ALL OVER the fukking shows, every week, in two different promotions

Steve Austin vs Dude Love, Over the Edge 98, Falls Count Anywhere for the belt

Loud ass "Vince is gay!" Chant, crowd is peak 90's

It's really the ur-Attitude Era main event in many ways. So many trends can be traced back to how that match was put together.

Speaking of 1998 WWF...am I the only one who finds 98 DX absolutely cringeworthy these days? And not just Hunter either, the entire act is just one lame, juvenile joke after another, followed by embarrassing cultural references to try and be "hip" (X-Pac talking about DX "getting jiggy with it" made me INSTANTLY turn off that Raw). Not having Shawn Michaels there to anchor things is really affecting my ability to enjoy them, possibly because he's the only guy who is completely believable in the role of an irreverent degenerate (X-Pac and Road Dogg also fit the bill, but they're kneecapped by their material half the time).

At this point (May 1998), if a Raw segment doesn't involve Steve Austin or Vince McMahon, chances are it's NOT good. Can't call it boring, though, which is more than you can say about present day WWE.

In Your House - Ground Zero
Sept. 7, 1997

Bret vs The Patriot

Match ends, Vince and King are wrapping it up and King goes off on a semi-rant about Vietnam.

The Patriot didn't get the job done. Sort of reminiscent of Vietnam wouldn't you say?
Well, usually the USA goes to war we come out victorious, not in Vietnam and not here tonight.

Referring to the Patriot losing to Bret.

Vince looking at him the whole time like

Edit: Same ppv, HBK comes out and does his pose in the ring, fireworks don't go off on time, gets pissed and starts mocking the fireworks. Vince at ringside talking about "Well that's a bad omen"

Man why the hell was Mongo a horseman? He was so wack. Too bad Double A had to retire and Pillman left.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Looking at these 2000 WWF PPVs it’s crazy how much Triple H’s ring skills had already fallen off by time he got his big championship push.

He was a pretty good ring technician around 97-99. By time he became a big musclehead he was fighting like a lumbering big man.

But 2000 HHH is pretty much the best HHH in ring wise of his career

Tori has to be up there with Luna as most unattractive woman on the roster ever. Broad looks like this:

Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero

Must watch match

Y'all better call the hotline and find out who's coming to WcW

Macho Man jumps from top of the cage, I mean way high, misses Hogan and blows out both his knees

Piper biting Hogan on the ass as he climbs the cage

Whole match was a snooze fest

Watching the early 98 RAWs and HHH's promos in heel DX were awful

 

[So_Andretti]

How many hours of wrestling y'all watch per day on the network?

Too much, I have to limit my time on it or I get sucked down a hole

 

[MenacingMonk]

It’s crazy that KO and Rusev got to work With Taker. Never woulda thought those 2 would be in a match with him.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Dude really blamed his clusterfukk tag Match on marital problems.
