you know, when people watch old tapes they want to watch the main events, austin vs. undertaker. but me, i'd rather be watching droz vs. chaz or stevie richards vs. albert. or even adam bomb vs. mabel yeah, i'm a midcard addict. for a brief time i did reviews for wrestlingfigs, and i hated reviewing raw and smackdown. my favorite thing was to review heat and velocity. and i hate how all the guys who would benefit from having those shows around have nothing to do these days. d'lo brown, gavin spears, burchill, chuck palumbo, paul london, ryan braddock and of course val venis, i'd love to be watching these guys but they're nowhere to be found.
can't wwe find any single tv network interested in an hour program in the style of your heats, velocitys, metals, jakkeds, etc? hell, why not use the valuable tv time of am raw and allow these guys to wrestle? actually give guys like spears and braddock some sort of gimmick and see if it can get them over. throw in a squash by a bigger star to keep the network happy but just let the midcarders get some tv time. just give me my midcarders goddamnit.

Good news, Jimbo! WWE has a show like that. It's called "ECW". You can catch it Tuesday nights at 9 on SciFi. Not a Main-Eventer to be found there.

I'm the exact same way, dude. There wasn't a wrestling show that I looked forward to more all week than Velocity. I've always, and always will be, a huge fan of the mid-carders. I love watching guys (mid-carders) grow and eventually become main eventers, too, i.e. Edge, Orton, Cena, Batista.

I used to watch Velocity weekly. Back then, Paul London used to be my favorite wrestler. He had some fantastic matches with Akio (Jimmy Wang Yang) and Billy Kidman on that show.

Jakked, Metal, Velocity, Shotgun Saturday Nights and last but not least, Heat..........which is the house that Val Venis Built!!!!!
When those were on, If you couldn't get any sleep or was just bored very early in the morning, there was sure to be a wrestling program on somewhere.

I loved heat and velocity. I love Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Funaki, Venis etc. Than whenever I see them on tv now they get murdered by umaga or khali or kozlof. I want heat back. Ecw is like that but it sucks because they are all new guys with no charisma whatsoever. It seems that guys like funaki or duggan are the few guys who really really have a connection with the audience.

i always liked how every now and then they tried to make heat seem important by putting on a perry saturn vs. triple h or edge vs. booker t match.
one of my fondest early memories of when i first started watching wrestling was really wanting to get home in time to see the mean street posse with edge and christian in their corner take on the hardy boyz for the tag team titles. what can i say, i was a posse mark.

The Posse were ten different kinds of bad ass. There's nothing to be ashamed of there, my friend.

The good thing about jobber shows was that you would actually look forward to a main event.
