    Has anybody in the know released figures or strong gestimates as to how many buys the network has had thus far?

    They will be released the day after WM.

    cheers. I'd say the UK and Ireland fans who have signed up will skew the expected figures somewhat.

    Probably, I don't know. It's the closest thing they ever got to documenting history legit as well as producing something that could rival the shoot interview DVD market. Though a lot of the guests were Yes men and when it was anchored by Scheme Gene I thought they suffered a bit.

    From what I remember Kevin Nash was good on them. Never liked him at all but he was no bullsh*t and was talking as if the cameras weren't there.

    I've watched all these and they are really not that good. Endless bull****.

    I remember JR talking about how bitter Bruno was. The panel talking about how awesome the Iron Man match was. The 93,000 figure for Wrestlemania 3 bandied about. Eddie Graham claiming he was responsible for the Hogan turn and Nitro going on Mondays. Panelists banging on about how Bret was gonna show up on Nitro with the belt. Etc, etc.

    Just in general it is very much the WWE version of history and that can be insufferable if you've got a half decent bulls**t detector.

    They'd be fine if Michael Hayes didn't exsist. The STATE of him. Has he ever seen a mirror?

    Watching the wrestlemania today show on the network they said JBL, Flair (sigh) and Foley will be the guests on the new legends episode.

    Has anyone else noticed the increase in video playback quality in the xbox app? The buffering has improved and the quality is very good. Watched WM Today last night and the HD was crystal clear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Just watching some of the Countdown shows.

    I'd love to see them link each countdown to the episode or PPV so you could go watch the whole show and not just a clip.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,143 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    I know the hall of fame is live Saturday night but will it be available to watch on Sunday ?

    Yes. All content that airs live on the network is available on demand immediately after it starts.

    Should be. The Wrestlemania Today two hour live preview was uo straight after.

    Not all the TV shows are though and not all the botches were shown on TV or DVD eg. the bit where Mysterio is doing pull-ups on a shelf and falls was the August 8 2002 Smackdown, Steiner falling off the apron at Bad Blood 2003 was edited out of the DVD and thus the network version.

    Watching the Mania 3o press conference now. Michael Cole getting the hug off Steph when she came out was super awkward! Him keeping the hands firmly glued to his side!

    These press conferences are awful btw, I don't think any of the journalists in attendance had a clue what was going on

    They didn't act any different from how mainstrean journos usully act at press conferences though and WWE was so carny that you can't blame them.

    Oh, I'm in agreement. Why do the WWE expect the journos to act like fans?

    Fair play to big Dave for poking fun at the whole lot though, enjoying his speech!

    Cause it's the WWE! Vince and those around him have bizarre cultish tendencies. There were little things that to an outsider would probably have made no sense, like Cole saying that if Daniel Bryan beats Triple H then he will "go up against" two other guys for the title. Uh, you mean fight/wrestle?!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    Dave did totally win the press conference, only person that seemed like a human being and not a corporate robot.
