Posh lad with his notions

Dean had better watch out!

I was like OMG when Renee was asking him if he dated and he said he had no time...

Enjoyed table of 3 miz/truth/axel and ddp/sting/vader

Yeah table for three is my favourite show on the Network right now, long may it continue as long as the guest quality doesn't slump (as it did this week).

Palo Alto

This week was my favourite so far!

R-Truth is amazing.

Blue_Dabadee

I thought Table for 3 was alright this week. Axel felt out of place since he doesn't have history with Truth or Miz.

8pm EST start time and they're now four hours behind so yup, 11pm for the pre-show countdown thing and midnight for the main show

Parts of this came off like Total Divas.

Just watching breaking ground and baron Corbin come across as a dick.

Yea he really did I thought as well. Mojo rawley as well came across like that

Palo Alto

I didn't mind Corbin. No different to Brock in terms of wanting to succeed and not caring who he tramples on.

Was Brock like that in 02-04 though? The Brock of the last few years is a once in a lifetime situation

spektorfive

From the interview with Stone Cold it seems he was always like that. He was never a fan growing up and only went with pro wrestling when his other choices dried up. Don't see anything wrong with his thinking. I think it makes it hard to make Brock a babyface. His just a natural heel and how easily he slip back into the role during this Undertaker feud just proves it for me.

I haven't watched it but is it blatantly scripted like Total Divas? At the very least I'd expect heavy editing to make certain people look the way they want.

like all reality shows its defiantly scripted somewhat and the editing of it seems creative to fit in the stories they want to show

The whole Devin thing is bothering me knowing how it turned out.

You wonder was she released to emphasise how cut throath the industry is echoing what Triple H was saying in the opening or was is a natural conclusion to her limited in ring skills and injuries?

Something about it doesn't sit right with me when essentially someone lost their job at the end of it

Monokne

My sense of it is that they aren't letting someone go who has real potential just for a story arc on Breaking Ground. However, I can absolutely imagine a scenario where they were laying out the series and decided it would be good to have someone cut in an early episode to highlight the possibility. I think Devin is cute and she seems like a nice girl, but the wrestling footage didn't show her in a good light and she was a terrible announcer, so it doesn't strike me as a harsh decision.

I really liked the Corbin stuff on the show. Thought he did some really nice heel work there.

Is anyone having this issue (on the app on Xbox One, specifically) where it won't allow you to "Continue Watching" any shows you stop midway?

I was in the middle of watching Summerslam '98 this afternoon and I stopped it to continue tonight and it just gives me the option to Start from the Beginning. No option to continue at all. I noticed that it isn't recognizing that I'm watching any shows to completion either. Trying to watch the Attitude Raw-Is-War shows back to back and lately it has not been recording my viewing history since two days ago and it's irritating me, if only a little bit. It also won't do as it's told when I try to add a PPV to my Watchlist, it doesn't appear in it.

I read somewhere (on Reddit, IIRC) that clearing off any unfinished shows in your history (on the website) will make it work. So I did that, and to make sure, I added a PPV to my Watchlist using the website itself to see if it recognized the change. I rebooted the app and it certainly did make the changes I made on the website, but it still won't let me "Continue Watching" nor will it store any new content in my viewing history.

Sorry for the long rant but I felt it was a good idea to be as specific as possible, in case I miss something out.

So trivial but yet so inconvenient.

Blue_Dabadee

Yeah it happened to me with HIAC PPV.

Ageyev

Gamer Bhoy, you're not alone. There have been issues with the console app from day one with minimal fixes from their end. I've given up at this stage and just accepted that it's in fact not "like Netflix, only better". It is so much worse than Netflix. If you contact support they just give you the run-a-round - I assume they've outsourced support as they're pretty clueless. "Delete unfinished/continue watch history" isn't a fix but a workaround that indicates a problem at their end. Never had any issues with continuing where I left off on a Netflix video

seandotcomm

Yea, its really annoying that you can't resume watching stuff on a console. Most times when I go into "Continue Watching" there's nothing there at all...

I don't want to absolve WWE of responsibility but they did launch on a lot of platforms early on and that costs money. FWIW PS3 functionality has always been patchy ie. the browser has always been rubbish and crashes the console require a hard reset. But... Netflix almost always works without issue. They ought to know hoe many subscribers access via which device and resources for tech issues will be directed towards the most popular obviously

I wonder why they are skipping over 2000-2001 with the old school episodes of Raw and Smackdown for time being.

I wish they'd expand the episodes to those years. I'm missing out on the storyline between HHH and Mankind/Cactus Jack leading up to the 2000 Royal Rumble. It's a rivalry I've always wanted to watch from the beginning, properly, and have never had the opportunity.

Table for 3 was decent this week. Neville eating the biggest apple ever was a highlight

The build for that was pretty great. The build for the No Way Out Cell match wasn't as good but they had me conviced that Cactus was winning the belt at the Rumdle. It was a legit transformation for Foley as he was overweight in late 1999 and looked to be lacking motivation I guess due to his physical limitations.

Bret Hart

For the nights that in it I think I'll watch Goldberg v DDP from Halloween Havoc 98 and Eddie Guerrero v Rey Mysterio from Halloween Havoc 97. Two classics.

The Ayatolla

App updated on iOS.

Improved search results and "other" enhancements.

Anyone notice anything significant?
