It is good to hear that the WWE is not letting the Benoit murder-suicide drag them down. I mean could you imagine the amount of stuff that would have had to have been edited or completely removed because of him. In fact I would say it was obvious that Vince knew he had to relax his stance on him because the Network would have been seriously hampered if he let the Benoit incident interfere with the Network.
It is a tough one but the Benoit murder-suicide cannot permanently hold a tonne weight around the wrestling community's neck and I think the right decision has been made.

Loved the Freebirds Badstreet USA entrance. Just like the Road Warriors should come out to Iron Man.

WWE Network should be adding a lot more shows and cool options in the next couple of weeks. I heard WWE were just keeping it simple because of the free trial week.

Watching Hog Wild, jeez how drunk was Heenan throughout this show? I think he called the Giant Andre a few times and the slurring was pretty bad throughout. Overall though not a bad show. I enjoyed the Dragon/Mysterio and Malenko/Benoit matches quite a bit.
Oh, yeah. Hog Wild is one of my favorites because of those matches. I remember watching it when it first aired, the refs kept adding time to the Malenko/Benoit match, and those idiotic biker fans were booing that decision. They had no idea that they were watching two of the best wrestlers of the time going at it.
I'm currently watching WCW Starrcade 1989: Future Shock! Pretty crazy idea for WCW's flagship PPV, as the whole show only had 4 tag teams and 4 individual wrestlers going against each other in a point-based tournament. Nice to see Great Muta, Sting, and Flair all face each other, and Steiners against the Road Warriors during their prime.

Good to hear. I was wondering if we would be getting old NWA Championship Wrestling, Nitros, WCW Saturday Night, Mid-Atlantic, WWF Prime Time, Saturday Night's Main Event, Tuesday Night Titans, etc. Hopefully they will better flesh out the lineup, because there is a lot of great stuff yet to be added. In fact, most of the stuff I'm interested in hasn't been added yet.

Wow, it's been several years since I've heard the a**hole chant on Raw. Old school baby.
Just finished watching the original Royal Rumble. Final match of the night? Paul Roma and Jim Powers against the Islanders.

Wow, that's pretty nifty. I was in New Orleans for the Rumble in 2001, and was only a few rows back from the front so you can see me pretty well for most of the PPV.

So what is the deal (for people with the network) with New Jacks ECW matches, I was reading that most of his stuff is not there?

The Gangstas vs The Eliminators were some great matches.

Say what you want about New Jack, and there is plenty to say about him but man he was highly entertaining.
I hadn't heard that New Jack's stuff was removed. That would seem odd, considering that Benoit's matches are still there, but maybe it's because he could be so ridiculously violent and over the top, stabbing people with forks and whatnot. You didn't see too too much of that in WWF or WCW, though I watched the Mankind/UT Hell in the Cell from King of the Ring '98 last night, and it was uncut. Doesn't get much more brutal or dangerous than that.

From the Observer -
New Jack's matches on ECW PPVs have been edited out (with the lone exception of his bout with Mustafa at Living Dangerously 1999). His return to ECW at Heat Wave 1999 (running in and attacking the Dudleys) has also been removed. His run-ins into other wrestlers' matches on other ECW PPVs are still intact.
Strange?
Who knows what the reasons are and with Benoit on it and as you say the violent matches that the WWF/WWE have put on like Taker and Foley it just doesn't make sense.
Could be he just pissed off someone in power. He seemed like a pretty huge a-hole, with no tact or respect for anybody, so that wouldn't shock me if it was true.

That is what I think as well.
Mind you Vince never usually lets that sort of stuff get into the way of business and I don't think NJ is on the WWE 'hit list' but I'm sure in his latest Shoot Interview he will blame Paul Heyman.

Just caught the old school Raw replay from earlier today. I remember old Raws being bad, but damn. This was the Raw following Wrestlemania 9. Nowadays, those are Raws you don't want to miss, because you see all the Wrestlemania fallout. Here, no Hogan, no Bret Hart, no Yokozuna, no Undertaker. Apart from Scott Steiner vs. IRS, it's all mid carders against jobbers. In the main event. . .Friar Ferguson (later Bastion Booger) vs. a jobber. How in the hell did the WWF survive those days?
