My FIRST recap from the WWE Network! Hope it’s working for everybody. At the start of day two, I can watch everything fine in my browser, the live stream works flawlessly on Roku, but still not able to log in on Xbox360. We’ve got to give WWE another day or two to figure out the bugs. Aside from those minor temporary issues, it looks to be an awesome service.

Your hosts are Bill Mercer and Jay Saldi. My buddy SLACKAMANIA tells me that Saldi was the tight end for the 1978 Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys. He sounds like Buckles from Seinfeld. “I wonder how Ike Turner would react in traffic…” Read the rest of this entry →

WCW Saturday Night (08.01.92)

May 8

Posted by Matt

WCW Saturday Night
August 1, 1992
Atlanta, GA
Center Stage Theatre

The current WCW & NWA Champs were as follows:
WCW World Champion: Big Van Vader (7/12/1992)
WCW U.S. Champion: Rick Rude (11/19/1991)
WCW World Television Champion: Steve Austin (6/13/1992)
WCW World Light Heavyweight Champion: Brad Armstrong (7/5/1992)
WCW/NWA World Tag Team Champions: Dr. Death & Terry Gordy (7/12/1992)

Before the program, we see a past interview where the TV champ Steve Austin calls Ricky Steamboat yellow for ducking a title shot because he was home nursing some hurt ribs. Therefore, no more title shots for Ricky Steamboat. Well, Steamboat rips off his Ralph Lauren polo to reveal taped ribs. That proves everything!
