Strong Style Saturday Thread

September 14, 2019September 14, 2019 by Scott Keith

It’s Clash of Champions weekend! I’ll probably do some reposts of the older shows today and tomorrow depending on how busy I am.

205 Live is strongly rumored to have been canceled but still nothing official yet. I actually think moving it to the third hour of NXT’s tapings would be best for all concerned.

Today’s selection is TNT, once again demonstrating how wildly inconsistent that program was.

And for your Saturday viewing pleasure, here’s WWE’s playlist of Paul Heyman getting beaten up.

The SmarK Rant for WCW WrestleWar 92 – 05.17.92

Hey, as promised in the recent WCW Saturday Night rant, here’s a long overdue redo of one of WCW’s all time great PPV shows. Of course, immediately after this show ended, it was hardly the quality of the PPV that became the talk of the wrestling world.

The SmarK Rant for WWF Monday Night RAW–04.24.95

The SmarK Rant for Monday Night RAW – 04.24.95

Live from Omaha, NB

Your hosts are Vince McMahon & Jerry Lawler, who is now joining him “as always” so he’s the permanent host now. For those who like to trace the bizarre paths of history, this show starts the unlikely rise to power of you-know-who.

The Thread of Wednesday Night

September 11, 2019September 11, 2019 by Scott Keith

Hi!

Tonight is the end of NXT as we know it, as the taped Full Sail era wraps up and next week they go LIVE on the USA Network every week.

NXT UK has a rematch for the tag team titles, which sounds like it should be pretty boss.

The WWE Network is dropping another bunch of Thunder episodes sometime in September to finally give the four people waiting for that some satisfaction.

Here’s some OTT with Minoru Suzuki. Enjoy!

The SmarK Rant for ECW Wrestling on TNN–10.01.99

The SmarK Rant for ECW Wrestling on TNN – 10.01.99

Man, this show is really turning into a hate-watch situation for me. And Russo isn’t even involved! Granted he was taking over WCW at this point, so he was preoccupied anyway.

Tuesday Night Thread

September 10, 2019September 10, 2019 by Scott Keith

This is a Tuesday Night Thread for Smackdown. Elias is out with an ankle injury and Shane is still attending to jury duty, so who knows what they’ll do to find a challenger for the future King Korbin.

Raw ratings cratered thanks to football.

Have a pleasant evening. We’ll see what comes up on the Wheel of WWE Network for tomorrow.

Ratings, ruh roh…

Well, people sure liked football. Unfortunately those who thought Raw could hold against the NFL with Steve Austin were not correct. Next week might get ugly.

WWE Network 2.0

Interesting story about the transition to the new Network interface. I didn’t realize Disney bought BAMtech and basically muscled WWE out. They really undersell the problems that the new Network has faced from subscribers but it’s a very WWE-ized article so that is to be expected.
