Is that true about the New Jack stuff? I saw New Jack matches on WWE 24/7 with overdubbed music from ECW PPVs.
ReplyDeleteAlso, even if that was true, why did they wait until after the Network launched to do it??
Not that New Jack matches mean all that much in the grand scheme of things, that doesn't add up at all.
It's just insane how jealous Savage was. I can't believe she stayed with him for so long.
ReplyDelete"No baby oil" WAMM. "No baby oil" WAMM.. Got a chuckle out of me
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone who DIDN'T love elizabeth?
ReplyDeleteAndre must have been miserable in the late 80's. 3 of his main feuds were against guys he apparently hated (Savage, Jake, Warrior).
ReplyDeleteThe stuff on the Network and WWE 24/7 aren't always the same. The network had the Coliseum Video releaes for The Big Event and a few other older PPV's, where as the WWE 24/7 versions showed the full-length releases.
ReplyDeleteHe liked Duggan at least
ReplyDeleteYeah but that wouldn't apply to ECW PPVs, which is where New Jack is. They showed the original broadcasts of ECW PPVs on 24/7. Were they showing the ECW home video versions on the Network?
ReplyDeleteIt simply seems extremely odd that of all the matches and all the wrestlers in the library, only New Jack got cut. I assume they were able to dub all the Sandman entrances, right?
How great would it be to get a call from a coked-up Randy Savage at 3:30 a.m. to talk wrestling???
ReplyDeletePat Patterson.
ReplyDeleteand "yourfavoriteloser" because he apparently hates all women, and all people who have experienced any kind of positive love experience.
ReplyDeleteQuote from the Hogan interview about their relationship: "When you got in bed with Randy, you were in it for the long haul. Good or bad, brother. He’s going to drag you through the mud whether you like it or not. And it was intense, because Randy was such a passionate person"
ReplyDeleteApparently the WWE hired Tobias Funke to ghost write their interviews.
I didn't think there were "home video" versions of ECW on ppv.
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read he was pretty miserable and a pretty miserable guy to be around towards the end. Constant pain will do that to you.
ReplyDeleteIn his matches from the 70's you can tell he's having fun. You don't get that impression from his later stuff.
Yeah, I think that late 80s Andre wasn't enjoying life much at all.
ReplyDeleteRF Video was the video distributor of ECW.
ReplyDeleteI request they re-remove New Jack from the Network. Before they add Nitro please remove Mongo while we're at it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think Hart.
ReplyDeleteOnly after Bret lied and said he liked soccer.
ReplyDeleteYes they did.
ReplyDeleteAnd Paul Roma
ReplyDeleteGreat, need to reread the book again.
ReplyDeleteI've been watching the ECW ppvs for the last couple weeks and new jack was never missing
ReplyDeleteThread jack: On that post about having one match from each WM without repeat wrestlers or titles, I tried that with the EC PPVs and all I have to say is, if you try it, good luck. I was thinking of what matches to put in and it was impossible. If you do figure it out, like I did, you're gonna get a less than satisfied card IMO.
ReplyDeleteIf it came out that Hogan was lying about reconciling with Savage, I wouldn't be shocked.
ReplyDeleteI misread what was reported. I have fixed the item.
ReplyDeleteI misread the story. I have fixed the post
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have gotten one of those instead of a "Happy Birthday" from Tatanka back in '93.
ReplyDeleteUnacceptable Bayless.
ReplyDeleteSee also, Hart,Bret WM9
ReplyDeleteSubject: title return.
I was watching guilty as charged 1999 last night and the mutants chant boring during the super crazy vs tajiri match which is the best match in the first half of the show by a mile (I haven't seen the 2nd half yet)
ReplyDeleteIt's ok, he gets it right 97% of the time. No big deal.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be ardently checking the Dudley Boyz Heatwave '99 segment until they put up the uncensored version of the show
ReplyDeleteEhh I wouldnt doubt it. It's atleast the same story he has told before without parts being changed around (like every other Hogan story). Maybe thats the way to tell if its truthful
ReplyDeleteAn add just popped up at the top of my screen for a Florida Rehab Center and the first thing to come to mind was Farva.
ReplyDeleteMurphy should really sue for gimmick infringement.
ReplyDeleteStill cant watch New Jack with the dubbed music, just kills the whole thing for me. Voodoo Child being removed for Hogan as well

ReplyDeleteAm I going to need my boots for this one?
UPDATE: Well, that wasn't so bad. Doubt that Liz actually hit her head on the concrete, but by Hogan standards this was fine.
ReplyDeleteYeah, seemed like he was kayfabbing on that one.
ReplyDeleteMurphy has been gone for a while
ReplyDeleteI've just been replaced
ReplyDeleteNew Jack's matches on ECW PPVs (except for his one with Mustafa from 1999) were not included on ECW PPVs when the Network went up because WWE hadn't prepared those shows yet (the show with the Mustafa match aired on COD). They had to not only dub over the music (which is more work since NJ's music played during his matches, not just his entrance), but Joey Styles had to record new commentary for the matches because they apparently couldn't dub over the music without losing the original commentary.
ReplyDeleteIt's not such a big deal on the earlier shows since Styles worked by himself back then, but on the later shows, NJ's matches are now called by Styles alone rather than Styles and Don Callis.
There was nothing cut out of ECW PPVs if you bought them from ECW when they were in business or if you by them from RF Video today. I still have Barely Legal and Heat Wave '98 on VHS that I got directly from ECW, and they didn't do anything to them.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Murphy being able to afford representation
ReplyDeleteAll of New Jack's matches (with one exception) as well as his run-in at Heat Wave 1999 after the Dudleys vs. Balls/Spike match were missing from the ECW PPVs. His run-ins into other wrestlers' matches and his match with Mustafa at LD 1999 were on the Network when it launched.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, WWE fixed this, and now all of NJ's appearances are included, both run-ins and matches. For example, his match with Rhino at November to Remember 2000 was edited ouf of the show when the Network launched, but now it's included. Same for NJ/Spike vs. the Dudleys at GAC 1999. That match wasn't on the Network until yesterday.
Too bad he could also be... SAVED
ReplyDeleteKiss ass
ReplyDeleteReally? You would've thought he'd mention that at least one time.
ReplyDeleteI skimmed through the comments of that thread yesterday, and it might have been the saddest showing I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteHe's been doing that for YEARS we all used to sympathize with him and try to help him out... but he won't listen and just keeps going on and on about it... and seems to be becoming bitter as well and it has just worn thin.
ReplyDeleteYep, I was amazed at how he actually resented the rest of you guys. That's like a whole different level of "sad". Maybe it's a good thing I saw the thread late, my inner "Incognito" might have come out. :)
ReplyDeleteWow.. hearing “No baby oil!” WHAM!" in my head with Andre's "Anybody want a peanut" voice is making me laugh my ass off.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. You should be proud, I had pegged someone else as the cover.
ReplyDeleteRe-hire Don Callis. Problem solved. You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteYou're in luck. They took the show down yesterday to put New Jack's run-in after the match, and it's back up with Bubba Ray's promo unbleeped.
ReplyDeleteJust make sure you access the shows from the "Pay-Per-View" section where the WWE, WCW, and ECW PPVs are, not the "Vault" section where the ECW and World Class TV shows are.
Speaking of overdubs, I was just noticing one of the things I like about the Network: the lack of modern "WWE" logo imprinted on all old shows. It's a small detail, but watching old stuff on DVDs with the current logo there kind of takes me out of it a bit.
ReplyDeleteYES! YES! YES! YES!
ReplyDeleteIs this a regular thing where frequent posters have complete meltdowns? It feels like this sort of things happening a lot lately.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you implying?? you jerk!! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE ALL OOFFF YYYYOOOUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *slams door*
ReplyDeleteI just like watching pre 2002 stuff and not feeling like I have glaucoma
ReplyDeleteCould be worse, he could be Dennis from Always Sunny and talking about how The Megapowers plowed everyone who assblasted them.
ReplyDeleteWM19 DVD still has Voodoo Child.
ReplyDeleteYou're all a bunch of emotional bitches
ReplyDeleteNo, he should have said 99.9%.
ReplyDeleteSomeone is now going to job at BoD Mania
He should just get hookers off of Craigslist then. Just double-bag it and pray for the best
ReplyDeleteHe did a shit job carrying my bags and sweeping up the Top 5 Lounge as well...
ReplyDeleteHe has been given this advice before also and rejected that as well.
ReplyDeleteIt has happened periodically over the years... but in the last year or so it seems to have gotten worse... shit Caliber had 2 in the span of 6 months.
ReplyDeleteObvious troll is obvious
ReplyDelete... Is he really *THAT* far off the mark, though?
ReplyDeleteI think so. Most everyone here is sarcastic and rude... but I wouldn't classify most of us as particularly emotional.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I can't even count the number of times that a "troll" said an "obvious troll" comment, followed by 100 exasperated and defensive replies. Anyhoo!!! I always enjoy reading those threads, so it's all good!
ReplyDeleteWell as the person responsible for introducing him to wrestling and thus, indirectly, to the Blog of Doom, I take full responsibility.
ReplyDeleteYour inner who now? :)
ReplyDeleteThe issue will be addressed in his next performance review
ReplyDeleteWoe is him
ReplyDeleteOr in Hogan's case, "kayfibbing."
ReplyDeleteWhy? The call will always end with, "You're getting pinned after taking the legdrop, brother."
ReplyDelete*resists urge to make JBL shower joke*
ReplyDeleteIt's not that he hates them....it's more that they hate HIM.
ReplyDeleteI fail to see where this is worse.
ReplyDeleteOnce they see the number on caller ID they don't pick up.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the little pictures for each PPV and seeing that it says WCW Starrcade for the first few years?
ReplyDeleteDouble TJ:
ReplyDelete-DJax is out of Philly. Although, I find his release to be bullshit. They're saying "You may or may not be a gang-banger, but if even you aren't we're gonna release you anyways."
-MJD finally had the chance to go to a contender and he fucked that up.
10 years ago, ya ever think you'd see a headline that said "New Jack/WWE Network Update?"
