I’m all for them putting up TVs from the various territories, but here we go again with completely random shows. No context, no follow-up, and no payoff to the shows.
Who in the world thought this is a good idea?! And who agreed with him?!?!
I read Booker T’s book a few years back and I do not remember him and his brother wrestling as The Ebony Express. “The Ebony Experience (Booker T & Stevie Ray) vs. John Tatum & Ron Price.” I remember “G.I. Bro” which was bad enough.
Just wondering if the WWE has the previous HOF ceremonies in their archives that date back to 2003 and beforehand? Hoping they could air those in its entirety one day.
I hope they add all of those 1 hour Hall of Fame profiles hosted by Gene Okerlund to the Hall of Fame section on the network. They used to be one of my favorite monthly shows on Classics On Demand.
This has to be, by far, the strangest thing I’ve seen yet on WWE Network. When you click on the episode of WWF Championship Wrestling from December 1983(where Johnson & Atlas win the WWF Tag Titles) it begins with the intro from “Global Wrestling”, one of the TV shows of Championship Wrestling From Florida. Immediately after that intro it goes right into Vince McMahon welcoming everyone to WWF Championship Wrestling. You have to see this. I can’t even imagine how something like that could even happen.
It gets even better. I just finished watching the whole episode and before Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson give their usual “see you next week” on-camera spot, the frigging intro to CWF Global Wrestling plays again. lol Clearly the Muppets have been hired to work in the WWE TV studios.
That had me a little flummoxed too. Who knows! I’d guess they didn’t have the rights to the music so had to cut the open but then replaced it with the wrong thing. I can’t remeber what that era open was, I only recall the “Thriller” version from the Hogan era.
The Thriller theme didn’t start until March 1984. The original 1983 theme was Cruise Control by a band called Dixie Dregs. Regardless, even if they don’t have the rights to that theme anymore, how in the world do they replace the intro with not only the intro from a different show, but from a different company?!
Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t excusing them, I was just throwing an idea as to why it’d happened. From everything I’ve heard the shows are being put up with very little pre-planning, meaning these type of mistakes will happen. They’re also really bad with the show dates – they have quite a few errors with these updates.

They have parts of them at least because they appear on those 24/7 specials.
They would show packages from the original few Hall of Fame ceremonies from ’94 on for the next few years, so they taped the full ceremonies.
I hope they add all of those 1 hour Hall of Fame profiles hosted by Gene Okerlund to the Hall of Fame section on the network. They used to be one of my favorite monthly shows on Classics On Demand.

to quote Todd Hockney in “The Usual Suspects”:
“…You got a team of monkeys working around the clock…”, Vince!?!
Lol who writes letters?……dude must be in his 60s
Real men don’t have The WWE Network
btw my letter is done. I’ll be mailing it today
People in the 21st century subscribe to online streaming services like the WWE Network, they also don’t write letters – and haven’t for decades!
Mark D, don’t even bother with this guy anymore…he’s bitter about everything!
