Well it drew a milly so it was a way bigger deal than any AEW show.

Cool for a month tops and then completely worthless like all C-shows are doomed to.

Raven’s run on Heat was dimes but it was a C show that WWF/E clearly didn’t care about

Heat was good for almost a year. It wasn't until the debut of Smackdown that Heat became the irrelevant show.

So rampage and roh are just AEW Dark. I mean they were already pretty close to Dark but its fully Dark now

ROH is the new Dark. Cool.

Not being on Youtube and having chill commentary from Excalibur and Taz though.

it was occasionally really relevant, usually before a big pay per view or events like the superbowl match between Rock and mankind, besides that it's Impact tier matches

This. It was the Raven show then it became the Maven show. It was basically containment for the hardcore division too

ROH has been Dark 3 since Tony bought the name.

It would wax and wane. Pre-PPV was usually worth watching. Sometimes it had long running themes and angles and it felt like it's own show rather than "dark matches we taped" like Main Event does. Stevie Night Heat was kino.

Heat wasnt the C show. Heat was the B show until Smackdown started in late 1999. Everybody appeared on Heat throughout 98 and 99 and it was worth watching

You could tell, couldn't you. He launched Rampage while Dynamite was still new and had no momentum. Imagine he was only launching a second network now in the lead up to All In. Punk's Rampage debut was cash, though.

Heat was good in the 90s cus some story lines would lead into Raw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7m7N17rydY

From the 2000s thought it wasn't worth watching. What was worth watching in the 2000s was Velocity and I'm not even talking about Billy Gunn vs Booker T. The Paul London vs Billy Kidman shooting star press feud is one of my all time favourite feuds. London's SSP was always miles better btw.

C-show, but not in the way that NXT is. This was a dumping ground for underneath guys. Though it sometimes acted as the PPV pre-show, so every once in a while, something would happen in order to draw last minute buys.

Also 98/99 WWE had such strong top star power you normally get one of Austin, Rock, Foley or Vince cutting a simple promo on it and that was enough of a buzz to make people watch

Extended third hour. Problem was it was at 10pm and spoilers were already out hours after the tapings were done. Then you had the age old why wasn't this segment/match on Dynamite?

I remember watching Heat as a kid and never once did I think "oh this is the show where all the jobbers are on" It would have people like DX or Al Snow Taz, Dudleys etc even the Hardy boyz on it. it was fun. Rampage is legit fucking shit and has literal nobodies week after week
