WWE Battleground 2014 Preview & Live Discussion Thread

[Smart Marx]

Yeah, the PPV's are really just a great bonus, the network content is pretty much good enough for me. Now if they can just get that Monday Night Wars show up and running I'll be even happier.

Agreed. I didn't realize at first they were going to be a part of it.

I could have sworn I saw it say most would come with an extra charge, I just wanted it for all the great original show, PPV catalog and TV replays.

It's honestly the greatest thing WWE has ever done, and the most worth it subscription service since Netflix, maybe even better.

That taste they gave us is driving me crazy. It was so good, and now they're making us wait until August.

Does it seem like they're timing it to drop when Raw hits September in 1995 and they release each episode of Nitro with the Raw from that week?

 

[Smart Marx]

Yeah I'm just glad this time he's doing it with someone like Bray and not Fandango...

Whatever ever happened to that Fandango kid?

I do miss 08 heel Jericho

Heel Jericho wins.

I assume he's always a baby now to put people over... :

 

[Lover Boy]

I do want to see one more Heel Jericho run

Yeah, the first episode was great. Not a whole lot of new info but a really suitable opener.

I had a similar thought, since I was sure they said they were going to be putting up all the Nitro's along with the Raw's. It would make perfect sense to put a new one up each Monday to coincide with the dates. Either way, I can't wait and I'll be sure to be in discussion for the Nitro's when we do them. I always preferred their overall show, even though I felt most of the wrestling was better on Raw.

EDIT: Sorry, to clarify that a bit, I preferred WWE's wrestling (Raw, PPV's) to WCW's. Most of the time anyway.

Jericho had his first pro match in 1990, when Bray Wyatt was three years old. That seems crazy to me.

 

[Lover Boy]

Bray just hit the WWE 2K14 apron finisher!

That IS crazy, considering Bray looks just as old as Jericho if not older :

A lot of recycled footage, but I thought there were a few interesting tidbits they threw in. More emphasis on Turner for instance. I rather liked that.

It seems to make most sense, especially considering they haven't really been releasing SmackDown either, so I assume they're waiting for 1999 on those, too.

Oh, yeah, I am a huge Nitro mark. I preferred their over-all product.

Although I will say the WWF main events were generally better and some of the angles were definitely better.

We have to hook up discussions for Raw and Nitro when we get there. And I have to have you in there.

You, Wang and myself, and anyone else who wants to join the cool cats, will tear apart of the Monday Night Wars. Both the docs and the shows.

Why the fuck has Jericho won?

 

[Sabretooth]

Sabretooth has arrived

How old was Y2J? Like 19?

 

[Swinny]

Well shit. Jericho did win. Gotta think this continues though because I can't see Bray not coming out on top in this feud.

 

[Fuji Vice]

Why the fuck has Jericho won?

Um, so they can have another match?

 

[Lover Boy]

As much as I like Jericho him beating Wyatt is odd

 

[Smart Marx]

Did Jericho really go over? I'm not getting mad or anything, but it seems that WWE doesn't want to put Bray over as much as we do.
