The WWE Network launches in less than three weeks, and there is a wealth of programming available immediately after you pay your first $9.95. Over the next few weeks, I will be giving you my personal picks of things to watch on demand on the Network. Today, I’ll be focusing solely on WWE’s ECW. Many people hated the product, considering it a bastardization of the Extreme Championship Wrestling we all knew and loved. At the time, I had long since given up hope that the magic of the original would be captured full time, so my disappointment wasn’t as deep as it was for some. In fact, the brand produced some great television, if sometimes for the wrong reasons.
(We know that every single PPV on this list will be available. Let’s assume for argument’s sake that the non-PPV stuff listed is on there as well.)
On this Super Sunday edition of BWF Radio, Joe, G, JT, and Mark are joined by former NFL Guard Quinn “Moose” Ojinnaka, who talks about his NFL career, the transition to professional wrestling, and jumps into pro wrestling’s current events, discussing the much publicized walkout of CM Punk. Punk’s situation is further discussed in the news, as is Matt Hardy and Reby Sky’s recent troubles. Mick Foley’s reaction to the Royal Rumble was featured, as was Dolph Ziggler’s post match reaction from SmackDown. All this, and much, much more on this week’s episode of BWF Radio!
This week’s break song was “22” by Taylor Swift featuring Sid Vicious (the wrestler, not the Sex Pistols guy). Since that’s not an actually released version of the song, you can buy the original here.
While I believe Mark did an excellent job filling in for me last week, an event the caliber of the Slammys needs something special. And as such, I’ve gone out and gotten a Slammy Award winner to write the RAW review this week – me! Yes, it is I, the Slammy Award Winning ThinkSoJoE taking the helm once again as RAW presents the 2013 Slammy Awards! Earlier today, yours truly won one of the WWE.com Slammys. Don’t believe me? Look!
I was there! Slammy Award Winner, baby!
Anyways, I digress. Let’s roll!
I watch 30 minutes of RAW, then leave for work, then review the rest of RAW in real-time as I watch it. Except for when I fast-forward. Then it’s not really “real-time,” I guess. In any event, this review is being written by a Slammy Award Winner. The SmackDown review can’t say that. The RAW review can. So that makes the RAW review better! Of course, since it’s a popularity contest, I’ll probably lose the BWF Award. I give them a place to talk wrestling and they like that G guy better than me. Bastards.
