RE: Wrestling - MrFozz - 29 Jan 2015 (28 Jan 2015, 10:45 pm)MurdnunoC wrote Dunno then.Yep, his name cannot be found on the network at all, cant search on it either... If I remember correctly, the original policy was from what I remember Vince saying after it happened back in 2007 something like 'after tonight we will never mention Mr Benoits name again'... I guess WWE are quietly changing it's policy and including footage of him where it would seem impossible to remove him and not making any comment about it RE: Wrestling - Malarkey - 29 Jan 2015 WWE have just announced the WWE Network will be free for the Month of February to new subscribers including the PPV Fast Lane http://www.wwe.com/wwenetwork/free-in-february-27037185 Wrestling - MrFozz - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 3:37 pm)Malarkey wrote WWE have just announced the WWE Network will be free for the Month of February to new subscribers including the PPV Fast Lane When I signed up last Wednesday, I got a fortnight free...starting to wish I held back and waited for the February offer ![]() RE: Wrestling - Adrian - 29 Jan 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrkf9rFJFEM RE: Wrestling - MurdnunoC - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 5:04 pm)aureolin wrote https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrkf9rFJFEM Didn't think much of the kick but Jeff Jarrett's selling was hilarious.

Funniest oversell of all time has to be Kevin Nash being floored by the most powerful finger the world has ever known RE: Wrestling - Adrian - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 6:20 pm)MrFozz wrote Cant remember where I seen it or heard it, but I remember what I think was i a Mick Foley v Owen Hart match, one of them was hit by something like a bag of sweets, popcorn or candy floss and it was sold like they just been dropped by a sniper...

Both members are dead yet, amazingly, Funk and Foley are still alive. RE: Wrestling - MrFozz - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 7:11 pm)MurdnunoC wrote RIP Public Enemy. Did not know Public Enemy were dead ![]() Your right about Funk and Foley, how they are still alive I will never know...Not many could do half the things they and still be of sound mind to tell the tale... Did Foley once set Terry Funk on fire in ECW??? RE: Wrestling - MurdnunoC - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 7:17 pm)MrFozz wrote Did not know Public Enemy were dead Yup. Ted Petty (Rocco Rock) died in 2002 aged 49 while Mike Durham (Johnny Grunge) died in 2006 aged 39. Johnny Grunge was Chris Benoit's neighbour and apparently helped him get over the death of Eddie Guerrero. Benoit was reportedly devastated over the death of Grunge. I think there was an incident involving fire between Funk and Foley in ECW. It paled in comparison to their adventures in IWA-Japan though where they blew each other up! This is not for the faint hearted. RE: Wrestling - MrFozz - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 7:27 pm)MurdnunoC wrote Yup.

IIRC a lot of Benoits friends died around 2005/06 and I always believed Eddies death pushed him over the edge, and the fact his friends were dropping like flies around him made an unstable man even more unstable and it was only a matter of time something would have happened to him(of course, we all know about the tragedy that occurred) RE: Wrestling - Adrian - 29 Jan 2015 The chair incident was repeated in TNA too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ6SXpj9lh0 RE: Wrestling - MrFozz - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 8:35 pm)aureolin wrote The chair incident was repeated in TNA tooThe commentator is funny... Someone's gonna die here in Philadelphia tonight, talk about exaggeration ![]() ![]() RE: Wrestling - MurdnunoC - 29 Jan 2015 Somehow, TNA managed to themselves look like a substandard, third-rate version of ECW. That's quite impressive. RE: Wrestling - Malarkey - 29 Jan 2015 (29 Jan 2015, 8:39 pm)MrFozz wrote The commentator is funny...That would be Don West, he did commentary alongside Mike Tenay along with being in charge of selling TNA Merchandise, he was then replaced by Tazz and seemingly disappeared of the wrestling radar.

I'm currently watching this weeks episode of NXT. Will probably watch some 'Hardcore TV' after that. 127 is a good place to start.

I really didn't rate either of the One Night Stands to be honest. 2005 is passable, largely down to the Tanaka/Awesome match and The Sandman's entrance, but the whole WWE-produced ECW run was a complete letdown. I imagine original ECW is probably hard to watch if you weren't around for it in the 1990s. I used to buy tapes from a tape-trader during that period and had most of the episodes ranging from 116 up until 180-odd. It's probably more of a nostalgia thing for me. I doubt the matches will hold-up but I'm looking forward to watching the whole Raven story unfold again. There were some very memorable angles from his run.

RE: Wrestling - MurdnunoC - 01 Feb 2015 Got to say, after approximately two hours viewing, I am completely unimpressed with the WWE network. For one, I hate the 'player' they use. It does not support true 'full-screen mode' and you're left with a black-border around the picture. Secondly, the video quality isn't the best (although for ECW-TV - that's to be expected). And thirdly, I'm experiencing delays while the video is buffering. Most of the stuff (arguably of higher quality) is on Daily Motion and YouTube anyway and of course there are other methods of acquiring the television and PPV's on offer. I think I'll stick to that.
