An Extreme PPV might be a good idea for this weekend, but how about a bit lesser known stuff? People know ONS 2005 and 2006, so why not One Night Stand 2007? I seem to recall that being a pretty good PPV but it isn't anywhere near as well remembered as the first two.

I must admit I'm slacking and still haven't watched Halloween Havoc in full yet I'm not sure what to do next, we've had a few suggestions, it is Extreme Rules this weekend and some also think we should keep it random. It's a fairly equal mix between them all, so not sure what to do. could do a poll to choose whether we do random or another method, but then that leads to the possibility of their being too many polls. Could also do a mix of random options, suggestions and past extreme rules/One Night Stands in this weeks poll, but too many poll options will lead to us going nowhere. As it's a PPV weekend this weekend I'm not sure what days to allocate to watching the show (however we choose it) it can either be the same format as last week, but my concern is If we have the weekend to watch the show again it is going to get overshadowed by the fact there is a WWE PPV on the weekend I'm not sure what to do about spoiler tags, I think they kind of hinder discussion a bit, but at the same time are kind of necessary. One solution perhaps would be if one of the mods would edit out the spoiler tags off past posts after a few days? And if members only use spoiler tags for Major Spoilers (ie Match Results) One option is to do a "live" viewing, where we all press play at the same time (using a website with a clock on it and agreeing to the same time) we'd all be a few seconds out of sync from each other, but that doesn't hinder the Raw thread, but I appreciate that not everyone wants to watch the show whilst on the board, but then you wouldn't have to watch it live, you'd be free to watch it afterwards and post in the thread but would have to be weary of spoilers. We'd have to work out a time that is convenient for as many of us in the UK and on both US coasts as possible Any thoughts? If people want to do a live viewing, that's fine. I probably wouldn't be able to join in but I have no problem watching without you guys. 9pm British time would probs be best for us but that would mean 4pm Eastern time and like, 12am Pacific time, so that would cut into people's workdays. As our Yank friends are going to be the majority watching, it should obviously be more towards their time period. I don't think it possible to arrange it conveninently for both countries. How many Brits have we got here? If enough to warrant so, we could possibly have a Brit viewing first then a US viewing later. Just use spoilers for match results. Or the Brit viewing could take place in an AIM chat and be copy and pasted onto the board at the end?

I'm for random as is the majority I believe. I wouldn't be able to do a live viewing (my schedule doesn't allow for me to sit down for three hours ever) but I'll join in on the discussion once I'm done watching.

I like the random viewing idea as well. Not so much the live viewing idea (i watch the ppvs in chunks but rarely in full) but if we can still post thoughts on the shows after we watch them (as opposed to having to post while watching) then go for it.

Yeah the live idea was just something I was throwing out there to get feedback on.
If it does eventually happen it won't be this week, it'll be after this has been going for a while.
I guess Random choices it is then, I will do the draw in a bit and be back with the choices and the poll. It will be 2 random WWF/E shows, 2 Random WCW and 2 Random ECW

We really need a random ppv button.

Also, why limit it to PPVs? We could also throw in the house shows (and when theyre added, SNME and Clash of the Champions). It may even work better with those since those are meant to be stand-alone shows.

I would be up for a live PPV-viewing if that's something others wanted to do. Could probably make the live viewings a special deal where we watch them on a Sunday where there's no PPV and just use the same time.

Ok, I am in a bit of a rush here, have done the random draw for this week and added the poll, will do a properly formated post with match listings and whatnot tommorrow (if anyone wants to post the match listings and posters please do and I will edit it in to the first post and give you credit and be eternally grateful. If not I'll sort it tommorrow, haven't got the time right now, but thought I better get the poll going

After having to suffer through Halloween Havoc 99 for the second time in a month, I kind of want to do a relatively good show, so my vote is for TLC.

I've gone for Uncensored because I have a morbid curiosity about Pre NWO, but post Hulk Hogan signing WCW. I've seen that "the water it's not hot" vignette so many times I want to see something from that timeframe.
Whatever we vote for I'll hopefully make it through this time, still only around a third of the way through Halloween Havoc. I lost the will to carry on

I voted for Uncensored 95, because that show is epically bad.

I voted for Uncensored 95 purely because of this; There is not a single WCW-made star on the front of this poster which seems like it'd be a good indication of a damn strange PPV.

Is Uncensored pretty much WCW's version of Extreme Rules?

To avoid the spoiler situation (which did hinder discussion) could we not have a thread (this one) where we vote, and a discussion thread, so people don't visit it until they've watched?
