Happenstance Posted September 26 Posted September 26 16 minutes ago, Hero-of-Time said: Wasn't he supposed to be the one to lead the Alliance in the Invasion storyline but the injury caused them to pivot? At that point the idea for the invasion wasn't the same as they were originally going to run WCW as a separate company with their own show, they did one test and it didn't go well which was when they pivoted. 1

I don't have Netflix but said I would be very tempted to subscribe once the WWE stuff hits, providing there is access to the classic stuff. No word on what happens to all that old legacy content, sadly I fear a lot of it will just be gone as i can't imagine Netflix transferring all of that content over but I noticed WWE launched a second youtube channel a few months ago called WWE Vault which has been uploading entire matches from the past as well as never seen before dark matches. https://www.youtube.com/@WWEVault/videos I suspect they will upload a lot of old stuff onto here that doesn't make it to Netflix. They've already been uploading entire old Royal Rumbles on their main YT channel recently, but now with this new channel, they have uploaded a lot of random old content. Such as the entire Hell in a Cell match between Undertaker vs Shawn michaels from 1997 for example. They have also uploaded some really obscure stuff from their archives, like this never seen before dark match of the Nasty Boys on Smackdown in 2007: It is surreal to see them on them in that era lol They also show all the things the WWE had stored in their warehouse, such as random props, costumes and even the huge Smackdown Fist from the early 2000s: also this was pretty cool: 3
CrowingJoe79 Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Gunther trying to rile up Bret Hart by mentioning Goldberg was an epic troll move for a bit of heat in Canada. 😜 I got a DVD once with a game, that covered his career beginning from when he started out in his dad's Stampede Wrestling promotion. I wasn't a fan of WWE or WCW during the 90s, so I missed all of his feuds. But I got into WWE around the time of that 'invasion' stuff, when WCW and ECW was about to be merged with the then, WWF. Then they had a great run in 2002 where a lot of big names debuted, and there was the very first elimination chamber match, Brock Lesnar beating up everybody on his way to the title, then Evolution formed and ruled the red brand in 2003, and so on. It sucked during the PG era. They have been picking up, though. And MVP being in AEW is actually cool. He's a great talker. He will likely resume the Hurt Business as the slightly altered name of the Hurt Syndicate, I think. Especially since his cohorts Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin have gotten out of their WWE contracts. By the way, does anyone like Nia Jax? I'm surprised she hasn't joined the Bloodline stable yet, being related to Solo Sikoa.
Helmsly Posted October 28 Posted October 28 The WWE Vault channel is slowly becoming my favourite channel: 1
BowserBasher Posted Friday at 10:01 AM Posted Friday at 10:01 AM Finally received an email regarding the WWE Network and the ending of it in Jan. They are not transferring accounts over to Netflix at all it seems. The email just says that from Jan 1st the Network will no longer be accessible in your area and that Netflix is the new home to weekly shows and PLE’s. If you are already a Netflix subscriber then nothing to do, if not then you will need to sign up. We have Netflix included in our Virgin TV package (funnily enough it made the bill cheaper with it because adding TNT Sports on its own was more expensive) so I’m good for now. Just hope a lot of the non live shows gets added too. Spent a lot of time watching the docs and other stuff on there. 2
Helmsly Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago I am enjoying WWE's new YT channel so much: There are so many great moments in this video never seen before. One of my favourite bits is Paul Bearer doing an entire promo only for Undertaker to raise his hand with a toy puppet on it as a prank (around the 3:10 minute mark)
