WWE Network Additions

[Chris]

The order jumpin' all over the place is a bit odd as the quality of the matches doesn't get better or worse based off this listin'. It does showcase the legacy of the IC title very well though and some nice hidden gems to pepper out the list.

So far the themes seem to be "matches that stole the show" for the first five, then the three Bret matches in a row are highlighting Bret being a workhorse champion and the last 6 are obviously gonna be a ladder match kinda theme since that's what they all are, but idk what the ones in the middle would be yet

The Hidden Gems this week are two WWF Supershows from MSG from the Mid-80s, assuming they're hyping up the MSG shows next week. They're The Brawl to End it All and The War to Settle the Score from '84 and '85 that were huge for the Rock 'n' Wrestling Era. I've only seen parts of each show so I'm excited to check out the full versions later today.

I say if you haven't watch the Untold bout Team Hell No was good

Especially bc they both said they wanted Team Friendship to be their team name so I feel justified for all the campaigning I did for that on here and on Twitter even if it didn't work

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Most of the votes for Team Hell No were from baby kids who weren't allowed to swear growin' up.

A new Table For 3 is airing after Raw tonight titled "Ladies Luncheon" with Carmella, Mandy Rose, and Torrie Wilson. The only other thing added this week other than the usual weekly shows and whatever Hidden Gems get added on Thursday is a WWE Chronicle following Sasha Banks on Saturday. Nothing airing after Clash of the Champions this Sunday which is odd, wouldn't be surprised if something got added between now and then though bc they love airing original shows or docs after PPVs. Also the two MSG supershows that were added as Hidden Gems last week have been removed for some reason, glad I watched them first.

The Hidden Gem this week is "WCW All Nighter" from January 1995 which is basically a 4 hour clip show of the top 10 matches from Clash of the Champions which means all these matches are already available on the Network, but this specific program isn't as it sees Schiavone, Dusty, Heenan, and Mean Gene along with a few others watching them so they got some skits in between where they're supposedly at Schiavone's house Would have been better if they treated it like Mystery Science Theater and had them making comments during the match since most of them look to be drinking

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Holy shit... that was a real thing. I thought that WCW All Nighter with Clash matches was a recurrin' dream I kept havin'. I must have watched that back in the day...

Bruh it's like 4 and a half hours long too

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I can't remember if I watched the entire thing either. Seein' it was that late and I was 6, I probably fell asleep durin' it which would explain the recurrin' dreams.

 

[Chris]

20 more episodes of WCW Thunder have been added covering from June 28 to November 8, 2000

The Hidden Gems this week are kind of odd, struggling to think of a theme but it's probably not one tbh.

"The Power of Karate" - A Karate match from 1954 featuring Phil Silva taking on 4 people in the main event of a Texas Rasslin' show at the Sporatorium. The video is 18 minutes long.

"Arm Wrestling Armageddon" - Billy Graham beating some jobber in an arm wrestling match in the AWA from 1973, video is only 43 seconds long.

"AWA The Road to SuperClash III" - 2 hour and 20 minute show that actually looks to be a TV taping that the Network stitched together to show in full instead of as a taping, got some nice names on it including multiple Hall of Famers

 

[Chris]

A new WWE Untold is airing tonight titled "That's Gotta Be Kane!" that tells the story of Kane's debut, it's at 7 eastern I believe

Best call of Vince’s career as an announcer

 

[Deezy]

Vince needs as much network specials as triple H got.....
