WWE put some damn work in for this Ultimate Warrior stuff. They put together a documentary and Legends of Wrestling in a week. They are very good as well. I can't help but feel all of this is not necessarily for the right guy, but great work all the same. Kudos.
By the way, Legends House was a shitshow. Good concept, HORRIBLE execution.

Just read a horrible comment on Keller's timeline that Warrior made about Heenan regarding The Brain and his cancer diagnosis. Very troubling. Wasn't aware of that comment before. |

I got caught up on all the Network stuff over the past day. Legends House is brutal. I more than likely won't watch the rest. Mean Gene gawking over the hot broad was the funniest (albeit creepiest) thing I thought.
The Bryan diary was fantastic. Glad they got some ROH stuff with Rollins. I loved it.
The Warrior doc was so sad knowing how close he was to passing away. How happy he looked & the closure he got with Vince the last few days. Also with his girls, just heartbreaking.
The Countdown series has been my favorite so far. Although the biggest blunders & the Shockmaster not at #1? Horseshit.

WWE NEWS: WWE debuting Hall of Fame show on the Network

The series is an example of WWE packaging their video library footage into new shows. The goal is to create original programming for the Network that WWE can hype on TV to entice subscriptions.
Best of Hall Fame Schedule
- Tuesday, April 22: Hulk Hogan by Sylvester Stallone (WM21), Trish Stratus by Stephanie McMahon (WM29), and Bobby Heenan by Jack Lanza (WM20).
- Wednesday, April 23: Pete Rose by Kane (WM20) and Ric Flair by Triple H (WM24).
- Thursday, April 24: "Mean" Gene Okerlund by Hulk Hogan (WM22) and Shawn Michaels by Triple H (WM27)
- Friday, April 25: Jerry Lawler by William Shatner (WM23) and Bruno Sammartino by Arnold Schwarzenegger (WM29).

I will say it again for any wrestling maniacs that don't have the network. At $9.99/month, it's an amazing value. The biggest concern one should have is wasting too much time as an adult watching things about pro wrestling. But it's well worth the money.

Another Provider Not Carrying The WWE Extreme Rules PPV
Posted by Larry Csonka on 04.29.2014
Click to see who else has dropped the PPV…
Following the confirmation that Direct TV and DISH are not carrying the Extreme Rules PPV, another provider has also dropped the PPV.
According to Pwinsider.com, AT&T U-verse is not listing the Extreme Rules PPV and they will not be carrying the show this weekend. These decisions are due to the creation of the WWE Network, and WWE offering it for $10, which includes their PPVs. The show is still be carried by other providers and will be on the Network.

I find it ridiculous that the PPV providers are throwing away free money that the WWE is willing to give them. They promote the show on their shitty ppv channels a few times throughout the day and you could possibly get yourself a 20k buys or so depending on the provider...but they'll continue to pump out ads all day long for TNA when they can't do 5k buys across the board.

Agreed. It's completely baffling. The providers are really underestimating the WWE fan.
They're basically speeding up the process of people signing up for the Network.

Cause the World Wildlife Fund or whatever their name is had WWF trademarked first or something like that. After years in the courts, Vince finally lost.
Something like that.

I don't agree with it, but I think they're looking at the bigger picture. They will lose the revenue from WWE PPV's as a message to all content providers. "Play by our rules or else!" |

The "Top 10 Tag Teams" Countdown is terrible. There is no way The Rockers are a Top 10 tag team.

The original Clash of the Champions is on the Network.
Bob Caudle was an underrated commentator.

Wade Keller would like a report from you: Wade Keller @thewadekeller 25s If you're watching Clash of Champions on WWE Network this week, let me know which one you're watching first and what you think of it. |

Wade Keller should get a subscription to the Network.
Clash I was great. The Vahsity Club beating up Jimmy Garvin was fun. As was The Midnight Express whipping the Fantastics. Arn and Tully were terrific as usual.

- Matt Singerman, who was WWE's Executive Vice President of Programming, was just let go this past week. Singerman was responsible for all programming on the WWE Network.
