I using my Xbox 360, you have register via wwe.com first though aureolin, any having watched ECW One Night Stand 2006 last night, Match of the PPV had to be Edge/Mick Foley vs Dreamer/Funk.

I would recommend watching the Steve Austin Podcast with HHH which airs straight after RAW Tonight, as the one with Vince before Christmas was brilliant I thought.

Debating what other PPVs to watch in the coming weeks, here is my little list so far, any recommendations.

WWE Survivor Series 2001 - WWE vs WCW/ECW Winner Takes All
ECW One Night Stand 2005 - Fancy getting a bit more Extreme
WWE Backlash 2003 - Just so I can watch The Rock vs Goldberg
WWE Insurrextion 2000 and 2001 - More so 2000 as it was at the Metro Radio Arena
WCW Spring Stampede 1999 - This PPV is Number 1 on the Bleachers Report WCW PPVs to watch on the WWE Network, and from looking at the Matches it doesnt look like a bad PPV.

2003 at Newcastle according to wikipedia

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE_Insurrextion#2003

Insurrextion 2000 was great, my idol returned to defeat Crash Holly for the hardcore title

I am making my way through the beyond the ring series...The Wrestler documentaries and about to start watching the Monday Night War Series

Why did WWE stop producing PPVs over here, was it to do live Raw/Smackdown shows instead

(02 Feb 2015, 1:41 pm)MrFozz wrote Why did WWE stop producing PPVs over here, was it to do live Raw/Smackdown shows instead

No idea why Fozz but I would suspect that WWE saw more Money through doing several live shows at various venues than they did a PPV over here, plus it allows more Fans to attend the Live Shows in there Local Area.

Would I be right in saying after North America, Europe esp. UK and Ireland would be the WWEs biggest source of business

(02 Feb 2015, 2:19 pm)MrFozz wrote Would I be right in saying after North America, Europe esp. UK and Ireland would be the WWEs biggest source of business

I would say so, although there are quite a Number of Superstars in WWE from the UK and Ireland which make us there Biggest source of business outside of America.

If your interested in watching Chris Benoit vs Eddie Gureurro, watch ECW One Night Stand 2005.

Quick question when did WWE start showing Over The Edge '99 again, I always got the idea WWE put it under lock and key forever for obvious reasons...

As for Benoit, I think most of his PPV matches will be on, I saw bits of his match at Insurrextion 2000...WWE does not make it easy to find, a search on his name yeilds no search results, yet if you search Woman it does show up, I always thought WWE stopped airing Nancy Benoit as well as Chris Benoit...

So here is another question, were WWE right in the first instance to try and airbrush him from history, given that he was involved iń some important matches over the years and was one of the most technically gifted and hardest workers of his generation

(01 Feb 2015, 7:58 pm)aureolin wrote Watch 2005 too if it's on there. The Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka is quality.

Just watched Awesome vs Tanaka, Match of PPV so far, got 45 Minutes left to watch.

As I said earlier, The Sandman's entrance is great as well.

(02 Feb 2015, 6:13 pm)MurdnunoC wrote As I said earlier, The Sandman's entrance is great as well.

I it was quite good, he did the same at One Night Stand 2006, I was quite disappointed with the ending of One Night Stand 05 as had the Brawl brewing between RAW/Smackdown for a good Hour and a bit, then Austin comes out which was a surprise to me, was expecting a few Stunners for the ECW Wrestlers but it didnt happen, getting back to the Brawl it was utter shit, Only highlights for me were Benoit vs Eddie, Jericho vs Storm and Awesome vs Tanaka. 

Has anyone seen the Austin Podcast with Trips yet???

If you want to watch a non-WWE influenced ECW PPV, then may I suggest Heatwave '98 (available on the Network).

It's widely regarded to be ECW's finest PPV. I enjoyed it watching first time round and it still stands up today.

The card:
Justin Credible vs. Jerry Lynn
Lance Storm vs. Chris Candido
Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka
Sabu and RVD vs. Jinsei Shinzaki & Hayabusa
Taz vs. Bam Bam Bigelow
The Dudleys (Buh Buh Ray, D-Von & Big Dick) vs. Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman & Spike Dudley

Just realised that the WWE Network version of The Sandman's entrance at ONS 2005 is heavily edited.

Here's the unedited version with the crowd all singing along to The Sandman's ECW Entrance theme: Enter Sandman by Metallica.

Makes it a little more special and interesting.

I see Rikishi is the latest Hall of Fame inductee to be announced, to be inducted by The Usos

I will never forget seeing WWE at Newcastle in 2005 Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty were tagging, after they won there match, Rikishi got a bairn in the ring to celebrate with them, he asked the kid to sit in the corner, the kid does so, Rikishi motioned for the Stinkyface...I never seen anyone so horrified in all my life, kid shot out the ring

If that was me, I woukd have sat there and said 'Do you worst big man'

Would recommend watching NXT Takeover: Rivals, Just sat and watched it myself and was a good PPV.

Highlights for me had be Adrian Neville vs Finn Balor and the Fatal 4 Way for the NXT Womens Championship, if only we had Divas Matches last so long and have good level of competiveness on RAW and Smackdown, Personally loved Balors Entrance, it freaking awesome and the bonus was he was painted up aswell which looked cool, The Match was very good also.

As for the NXT Championship Match, Kevin Owens (Steen) vs Sami Zayn, well it was like watching Lesnar vs Cena from Summerslam last year with a rather Bullshit ending which I still cant get head around, The Referee called for the Match to end after Zayn took 4 Powerbombs in a row and was unable to continue, then the referee awarded Owens the Championship thus making him the Champion, I thought if the Match was ended due to said Wrestler being unable to continue, in this case Zayn then he retains the Championship but Owens is still the Winner, I think even the fans in attendance were quite confused by this, other than that it was an alright match.

It's incredible that NXT and RAW/Smackdown are produced by the same company. Do you watch NXT TV? If not - you should.

EPW is also in Peterlee on the 6th March...saw a poster in Subway in Peterlee the other day

(14 Feb 2015, 10:36 am)MrFozz wrote EPW is also in Peterlee on the 6th March...saw a poster in Subway in Peterlee the other day

Could do Peterlee as well. They've also got a show on in Ferryhill tomorrow. 

This EPW looks like a shady operation. Not saying that they are - but the lack of information regarding matches and appearances leaves a lot to be desired. All I can gather from the promotion material is that Rampage Brown, Prince Mohmed Ameen and another guy in a Mankind/Abyss-type mask are appearing at the show. Ameen and Brown are both pretty good (Brown had a WWE Developmental contract) and are based in the North East, so I guess they might appear. The £5 half-price admission fee is tempting too.

The poster I saw for Peterlee was 2 dudes(1 being the Mankind/Abyss masked one) and all it was advertising was an I Quit and TLC match

(14 Feb 2015, 12:28 pm)MrFozz wrote The poster I saw for Peterlee was 2 dudes(1 being the Mankind/Abyss masked one) and all it was advertising was an I Quit and TLC match

Was it this one?

(14 Feb 2015, 12:31 pm)MurdnunoC wrote Was it this one?

Thats the one mate...Forgot about the Indian looking person on thr poster

(14 Feb 2015, 1:40 pm)MrFozz wrote Thats the one mate...Forgot about the Indian looking person on thr poster

Yes. That would be Prince Mohmed Ameen.

As I said, both him and Rampage Brown are pretty decent although Rampage is in a different class to Ameen.

Here's a video package highlighting Rampage against another top UK wrestler: El Ligero. 

Anyone stop up and watch WWE Fastlane which was Free to Watch on both the WWE Network and Sky 1/Sky Sports 1.

Highlights:

Rollins, Big Show and Kane Defeated Ryback, Ziggler and Rowan in a 6 Man Tag Match, Randy Orton Returned Finally following the Match going straight for Rollins and clearing out The Authority in the process, appears as thought he will be facing Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania.

Referee Screwed Stardust, Ref counted to 2, hesitated expecting Stardust to kick out which he didnt, then went to make the 3 count before signalling for the Bell to be rung before his hand even touched the mat, upon looking at the Replay the Ref didnt actually make the 3 count.

Sting Challenged HHH to a Match at Wrestlemania, Segment was quite similar to that of the HHH/Undertaker Silent Staredown, But HHH did a lot of talking, Sting stood there and said nothing, they had a mini Brawl ending with Sting laying out HHH with the Scorpion Death Drop, Match was later Confirmed.

Cesaro and Tyson Kidd won the Tag Titles

Nikki Bella Retained the Divas Title, Roll up with a Hand Full of Tights.

The Undertaker then made his return, ohh wait it was Bray Wyatt who was pushed out into the Arena in a Casket by Undertakers Druids which Takers Entrance Music Playing throughout, Wyatt cut a Promo challenging Taker to a Match at Mania, This was an Excellent way to call out The Phenom, well played by WWE and I am looking forward to seeing how Taker will respond, expecting him to make his Return on RAW Tonight.

BNB retained the IC Title via DQ against Dean Ambrose.

Rusev defeated John Cena to retain the US Title, Cena passed out to the Accolade in decent back and fourth match, I expect a Rematch at Mania with Cena defeating Rusev.

Roman Reigns defeated Daniel Bryan to go on to face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, this was obviously going to happen either way, honestly cant see what WWE are going to do Bryan at Mania, hopefully not another Match with a Returning Heel Sheamus, would much rather see him face Ziggler, The Match was a slow paced back and fourth brawl pretty much.

Am I the only person who thinks D-Bry will somehow end up in the Main Event at 'Mania and it being a 4 way with Rollins cashing in to be in the main event???

(23 Feb 2015, 3:09 pm)MrFozz wrote Am I the only person who thinks D-Bry will somehow end up in the Main Event at 'Mania and it being a 4 way with Rollins cashing in to be in the main event???

As much as Daniel Bryan deserves a Rematch for the Title as he was never pinned or made to submit, I dont think he will be involved as he lost fare and square last night, he even said to Reigns following the Match "You better Win at Mania" or words to that effect, I do see a Rollins Cash In at the end of the Match on Reigns, but that all depends on if Lesnar is staying or leaving though.

I see Samoa Joe resigned from TNA last week.
