WWE Network Thread

A lot of territories taped over the master copies on a weekly basis as it saved money as they wouldnt need to buy new tapes and nobody in the 60's and 70's would have thought anybody would want to watch their old wrestling tapes.

Delighted to find Stampede Wrestling, GFW and AWA stuff under vault.

Watching a young guy by the name of "Sean Michaels" face off against Bhuddakhan at the Showboat for AWA here now. I don't think he'll ever amount to anything...

Ageyev

Stampede footage taken down because apparently Bret Hart owns the footage of himself and it was added without hisknowledge, approval or a deal. So safe to say we'll never see that stuff on the Network.

Ageyev

Bunch of 2000 Raw is War episodes are added.

A Primal Nut

So they are pre-recording these podcasts now...I guess Austin asked one too many controversial questions.

I can't log into this piece of **** on either my PS3 or iPad. Works on my phone then for some reason. Joke.

I think there were "technical issues" last night, but they were supposed to be solved. Looks like maybe not

Got in eventually but this is becoming all to regular at this stage

It'll be up eventually. Bret and WWE are on good terms now so they'll give him a nice deal and he'll sign it over. It's incredible how incompetitant WWE can be to not know they can't show that footage without Bret signing off on it.

Hope they have more Smoky Mountain in the vault. Nine episodes is nothing.

SC podcast episode with Michaels was pretty boring.

Stereomaniac

I'm guessing it was Bret Hart they were talking about in those parts they showed on the ad?

PTH2009

It's a disaster on my PS4 keeps watching. It's like the picture quality is too powerful for my connection (I have the second fastest broadband package on upc).

I wish the network would branch out to other smart TV platforms and not just consoles and Samsung TVs. I have an LG and Panasonic TV and they don't have the network apps

I've found the network has worked best for me on an iPad and iPhone. Laptop and pc not that great. I've never tried it on a console but it seem it's not the best.

The iPad also has the plus of you being able to make the picture for pre 2008 events full screen that eliminates the black bands.

So yeah iPad ftw

Yeah I think so and I've watched it twice. Was the ad about the eyes getting wide ?

Went out and walked the dog. Came back in and Shawn was talking about how his kid wants to enlist because of how the attacks in Paris impacted him....I get enough of that Ra-Ra crap living in the US, so I just turned it off.

Network is solid in the US now. After an initial bumpy start. Seems pretty good on the Xbox One, my Macbook and my tablet...

Blue_Dabadee

I wonder if Edge & Christian show will be a good show to watch.

Ageyev

A March 2001 episode of Raw was added. 2000 Raw and early 2001 was very good.

Itssoeasy

The Heyman lead writer episodes of smackdown are there.

Yeah that happened a few times during TLC and has been an occasional issue with NXT going back a few months. Hopefully tonight is better than TLC anyway, picture quality was all over the place & dropped as low as 240p at times. And that wasn't even the livestream, I watched the second half on Monday morning & quality was still ridiculously inconsistent.

Seems to be working perfectly on PS4 now thankfully.

The Ayatolla

Takeover was painful on PS4. The jumping back 5 seconds every 15mins or so. I've 240mb broadband and the PS4 wired direct to the router. But of course the PS4 only still can handle 10mb when I do a network test on it. How they don't have an adequate buffering system is beyond me. I was watching it approx 30mins behind the live broadcast too.
