    Jericho has become so awful that I have questioned why I ever liked him.

    He's tarnished his legacy with awful returns, awful podcasts and his awful rock band quite a lot in my estimation.

    Ah Fozzy are alright, they are a good excuse to go drinking with fellow wrestling fans

    You forgot his dubious celebrity and acting career.....he's such a fucking kiss ass so it's hardly a surprise.

    With the exception of sone horrid act like Benoit... I don't get how one tarnishes their legacy... For example if Flair returned for one last match and is terrible it will in no way effect my enjoyment of Any of his matches including his retirement match.

    Mortal combat 2 was horrendous but Mortal Combat 1 is ****ing awesome. Same with Jericho, how can his outside interests tarnish his legacy? His past matches are still great! I do enjoy his books and podcast though...Fozzy are quite terrible.

    Firstly its Kombat with a K :eek: & secondly I do belief Flair did let himself down & had a few absolute stinkers in Tna post the Hbk match
    His highlight there was replying to a heckling fan with a slurred 'Your Mother' :pac:

    Easy one to answer for me. Jericho comes across as incredibly smug and dislikeable now. It has made me realize that this character trait was always there, perhaps just hidden better. He had some great matches, but as a person, I've gone completely off him.

    Ive the network on an android m8 box and the quaility is poor too be fair!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,272 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    As a wrestler he was pretty much irrelevant to me since the Punk feud in 2012 I think and every return since then has bored the arse of me.

    Nothing to be gained by working for him, in fact it hurt Wyatt hugely when he lost to him.

    His attitude is very obnoxious towards criticism , pretty much " I BUSTED MY ASS AND BLED FOR THIS BUISNESS, YOU DIDN'T SO YOUR OPINION MEANS NOTHING UNLESS IT IS TO FAWN OVER ME" drivel.

    The podcasts are bland as you can get, nothing interesting just non stop towing the corporate line.

    And anything he does outside of WWE is even worse. Those TV shows, podcast, Fozzy. My god. So bad. Shocking.

    Foley's stand up show was awful.

    The best part of the entire thing was the camera pans to his daughter Noelle
    It's not a stand-up, there's no jokes! He just drops the names of famous people he knows and waits for applause!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,198 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Just watched Austin rock from wm17 and I love at the end when JR is losing his brains and asking why. I'm 16 years old again watching it having taped it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,270 ✭✭✭Ridley


    That Foley show is pretty brutal bar a few moments when the old Micker shines through.

    I don't watch the Network every night, but any time I have it's always been perfect quality on my PS3

    Same. Live stream show and the on-demand stuff has been mostly fine save for a few short hiccups, no major issues.

    Yes and it was as boring as corporate as you would suspect
    I didn't mind it. I don't know what people keep expecting to see or hear on these.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 908 ✭✭✭Palo Alto


    I lasted 5 mins into Foley's stand-up.

    Grim.

    I really liked the Reigns doc. It won't turn his detractors into his biggest fans but if they keep him away from that title win for a few months it'll be beneficial.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,166 ✭✭✭Stereomaniac


    Does it actually focus on a single 24 hour period this time, as the title suggests? Booker's didn't.

    No it goes from the rumble to wrestlemania with most of it being of the behind the scenes stuff being on the Sunday of mania. I liked it and his family seem really close.

    Loved the Reigns doc.

    They cut out the curb stomp though!

    As class as the documentary was I think the screen shot I've attached is so cool.

    Mod Edit: Don't bother making comments like this.

    Ah that's brilliant, I love how Heyman is looking at it, he's clearly thinking what the hell is this crap. haha.

    I got the Network before WrestleMania and I'm struggling with it. None of the material on offer is really grabbing me.

    Jericho's podcast is decent but I think it's safe to say the envelope isn't going to be pushed.

    I think what I find most annoying is the lack of gripping and interesting new material. Seeing the first season of legends house and tough enough does not interest me at all, neither does this countdown crap they've probably done on their YT channel.

    The only thing that's a plus for me is the ppvs for 12.99 a month but I'm not even sure that's enough to hold me. I'm going to give it one more month.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    most of the beyond the ring documentaries are very good as is the rivalries series but there is just not enough available.

    I've just watched all of Halloween havoc 1999 which was the first PPV with Vincent Russo as the writer. Jesus wcw was in a bad way then. Nothing or very little mad sense. The main event(or last match on anyway) was sting and Goldberg and the commentators CLEARLY said at the start that it wasn't for the title yet the title changed hands. :confused:

    Then you had the finish to the flair ddp match which was sting hogan confusing as Charles Robinson ****ed up by not counting the three count yet ddp won. :confused:

    Also the sound levels are horrible. Music starts playing but you can barely hear it at times. And for the love of the baby Jesus why isn't there video packages before the matches ? Why ?

    Sid bleeds like Guerrero did at judgement day 2004 in his match with Goldberg for the U.S. Title.

    I'm glad I wasn't watching wcw at all then.

    I've watched a few WCW PPV as well on the network and it's something,I also noticed about WCW is that you can never hear what's the entrance music for the wrestlers. Very annoying.
