I am more than tired of the same old stories. It's tedious at this point. I'd much rather see 2014 footage of Vince and Steve just sitting down for half an hour talking over some memories. The stock interviews and archive footage I've seen a million times is painful.

The second part is up and, I must say, is really good. They cover things that usually get glossed over, like the Alliance and Austin's walkout.

It was an Austin and Vince thing but i'm kinda disappointed they didn't bring up his other walkout which was Taboo Tuesday when he was supposed to face The Coach

The stock interviews and archive footage I've seen a million times is painful. This is how I feel. I haven't watched Rivalries yet because I feel like I've seen this stuff 50 times already. The Network is becoming repetitive. I would be more interested if they covered something like Raven vs. DDP or Freebirds vs. Von Erichs.

Really enjoyed the Rhodes/Flair episode, it largely deals with the start of Flair's career idolising Rhodes up until The Great American Bash 1986. Some fascinating footage is included in it, one or two of the clips might not have ever been broadcast by WWE before.
Next week's episode is Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H.

Ric and Dusty was really, really good. Brought back some fond memories.
I hope one day they get around to Ric and Steamboat -- no two people IMO were ever more made to wrestle each other than these two.

Flair vs. Dusty was ok. Too much black and white, censored blood, footage. I really don't care for all the stills they use as well, play a bit of the match, let us see what the deal was. Was pretty bothered by the pointless interruptions into what WWF was doing as well. "Flair vs. Dusty was huge, but Vince was huger by the way, now back to Flair vs Dusty"

I hated that they kept interrupting the story with that "meanwhile in WWE" bullshit. This was supposed to be about the Flair/Dusty rivalry, that absolutely had nothing to do with WWE. I found it very lame that they kept jumping in just say Flair/Dusty was good but whatever was going on in WWE was better. Ugh, typical WWE bullshit, I suppose. I'm sure every episode that isn't about a WWE rivalry will do the same shit. I dare them to pull that shit on the Raven/Tommy Dreamer episode (I assume that feud will get an episode, at least it should). There was hardly anything going on in WWE, at that time, that was as heated as that rivalry was.

Flair/Dusty was a good episode, but I agree with the previous sentiment that they shouldn't have shoehorned in all the "By the way, WWE was better" stuff.
I hope they eventually do an episode covering Jericho vs. Malenko.

I hope they eventually do an episode covering Jericho vs. Malenko. That would be a great episode. That was a fun rivalry. I'll never forget when Malenko dressed like Cyclope and won that battle royal and the chance to face Jericho. Chris Jerichos reaction is great and that crowd popped like crazy when Dean took off the mask, it was like on the same level as a Stone Cold pop.

Really enjoyed Flair vs Dusty. That's what the Network needs more of. Original specials on non attitude era stuff. You can only watch Austin hitting McMahon with a bedpan or driving a beer truck to the ring so many times.

I think my TV is messed up or something...like 90% of the Flair/Dusty episode was in black and white

I really liked the end of Austin/McMahon II. I don't remember a lot of that time period since the Invasion kinda took me out of wrestling that year. I was always curious how Austin's final months went down. It was cool to see it all wrap up with his HOF induction.

And now it doesn't... the HBK/HHH Rivalries has been replaced in the schedule by another repeat of The Monday Night War.

What a great feud that was!

The HHH/HBK show is On Demand, which I only discovered last night. Grim.
It was pretty good but it focused way too much on the early days of DX for my liking. It's called WWE Rivalries not WWE Friendships. I would've preferred a more in-depth look at the rivalry rather than focusing solely on the SummerSlam match and the Elimination Chamber and then quickly skimming through the rest of the feud up until Bad Blood 2004.
