I know you're looking at his post debut stuff, but there is a very interesting legends roundtable thing on the network with Foley, Dusty, Michael Hayes, and Pat Patterson discussing the worst gimmicks and they spend some time on Shockmaster.
WCW did that very thing with Ron Reis in the Yeti gimmick too. First he comes out at Halloween Havoc in 1995 as a mummy and butt****s Hogan awkwardly for a couple of minutes. Then he appears in the battle royal at WW3 as a gigantic ninja with zero explanation. Wat.

I started watching one of these so I'll check this one out. Thanks for the heads-up.

I mean hell. I think it would have been better to never mention these fails again and just repackage the guys and try again. I know it's been years and years and I guess we still have plenty of WTF moments in wrestling, but that is just terrible and leaves your fans wondering what is going on. It's like WCW was like, well the fans don't really care about anyone except the top names so just do whatever you want. Go out there as an 8ft construction worker mummy ninja, you'll be gone in 2 weeks anyway.
Oh yeah, one more thing from Wrestling Classic: JYD was in a match against someone or other, and...somehow they forgot to have a referee there. So JYD knocks his opponent out with a headbutt in what I guess must have been the spot that was supposed to end the match. JYD covers, and when nobody counts, he looks around and then just counts to three himself. The bell rings and they announce him as the winner. It was straight out of Kevin Nash vs. The New Blood.
So this **** stable enough yet? Havent been keeping up, but I watch a lot of old stuff at home anyways, so if it works and the library is deep, this could be fun

Mine's been perfect for the past 50 hours on Chrome but haven't been able to get more than a few minutes deep on firefox for any On Demand stuff.
Wasn't Hogan killed by a bunch of guys lead by the Giant at that PPV? Was that before or after Hogan knocked the Giant off of the roof of the arena after some type of monster truck match?

If you want to see some of the funniest/terrible promos of all time youtube the Hogan/Dungeon of Doom angle.

Works great for me on my laptop but the XBox issue is very frustrating and as far as I know nobody has accessed it at all that way yet. So it partially depends on how you would watch it.
I've seen bits and pieces of them on youtube and always wanted to watch the full eps. They're great.
This is how I originally found out about them.
Ric Flair also comes off as a major league ******* in them. I prefer it when he's not on the panel.
I still think it's funny that they have Mick Foley on the "heat-seekers" one, where they rip on wrestlers who were hard to be around IRL, but Foley just liked seemingly everyone.
Jerry Lawler: "Now here's someone that I'm sure that not a one of us likes: Paul Heyman."
Foley: "I like Heyman."
Rest of the table: "OH COME ON!"
Just finished up the '98 Rumble. Most of the show is pretty bad, but the HBK-Taker finale was definitely very good, better than I remembered that edition of it being. Still well behind the WM matches and the inaugural Hell in a Cell match, but a fun watch regardless.
Im working my way through 2004. Just saw the APA on No Way Out. When did Bradshaw go from Bradshaw to JBL? Judgement day against Guerrero is in two months
Checked out Wrestlemania 2 on the WWE Network. They edited out Paul Orndorff's 'slanted' eye gesture to Mr. Fuji, during his match with The Magnificent Muraco.
