So when Nitro got it's first two years added to the Network, RAW wasn't even close to caught up, it was still in pre-Nitro 1995. I got impatient and watched all of Nitro 1995 all the way to two weeks before Halloween Havoc 1996.
School slowed my marathon a bit, and now my shows have finally synced. I've just finished RAW and Nitro from October 14th, 1996. About to watch IYH: Buried Alive.
I feel like RAW's not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. 'Taker/Mankind is fun, Shawn's nearing the end of his first run with the belt, if I've got my timeline correct, and Austin/Bret's about to start soon. Of course, there's some dumb stuff going on as well. Vince is clinging to his plumber gimmicks, the Godwinns, and whatever the hell Barry Windham's Stalker character is supposed to be. And JR's heel turn is just, really bad.
On the Nitro side, I'm enjoying it, but the uneven two hour show vs one hour show is making me favor RAW's shorter show at the moment. Glacier shows up every other week, and he's just there. After all the hype packages for him in 1995, it's like, okay? Do something. The nWo is at it's most interesting right now. I really hate this 'Macho Man is crazy' thing they've been doing since like, the end of 1995. DDP/Eddie is fun, obviously Malenko/Rey is awesome, if dragging a little bit at this point. Whitemeat Babyface Jericho is there, doing nothing really. I've seen entirely too many Hugh Morris matches for my own good. Flair's hurt, and I hate that it seems like Benoit and Mongo just aren't involved with Arn's feud with Luger.
And, I'll post more after Buried Alive and Halloween Havoc. Feel free to join my marathon, or comment and, yeah, this is what I've wanted out of the Network since it was announced the first go around.
