WWE Network Thread

Black and white, the Network pays for itself.

Anyone that gives a penny to SBO or even plain old Sky Sports should definitely get the network if they have no interest in sport outside wrestling. Raw and Smackdown are yet live on the network but I can see that happening in the long run.

Just to throw my two cents in here:

After signing up to the WWE Network very early into its release I have to say that to me it's been worth every cent of the $9.

Being able to wake up on Monday morning and watch Payback without having to give sky €25 is a massive bonus and I have had no issues with quality so far.

With UPC they don't even have the sbo ppvs in hd which makes the network even better value for me.

Definately. I've dropped Sky like a bad habit, and I don't miss it one bit. Between Netflix and the Network, i'm not short of entertainment. Plus, Raw does usually be available on YouTube the day after it airs - minus the ads, so it's all win for me.

The Network is unbelievable value for money

Only really football which keeps me tied to Sky now

Wish there was a Network like thing with live Man United games :P

RVD's backstage promo on Main Event sets new standards. Watch it.

I love the Wrestlemania Rewind show. They've got Taker / HBK from Mania 25 up now, and it's interesting to see Taker talk about the match out of character. Nice backstage segments after the match has ended too.

Genuinely forgot how much of a header Undertaker took on the dive to the outside.

WWE Countdown this was a really fun run down of WWE Couples. Vickie & Edge and King Booker & Queen Sharmell were a howl.

I just remembered the angle where Kurt, erm, Angle wanted to have rough sex with Sharmell. Anyone else remember this? Think he said he wanted to DOMINATE HER.

What a weird, incredibly non PG storyline. I'm guessing some writer got wind of the fact Kurt had a taste for African American women and just ran wild with it.

"Remembed" lol it was covered on Review-A-Wai this week.

Rape angles in wrestling as in most things tend to be at best, in poor taste. Even worse when it's a domestic abuser doing it.

Ape Lincoln

So they're now offering a year's sub for $120. Signing up long-term usually means you save a few quid. Wonder does that mean they are planning a price hike on the per month subs.

Agent Coulson

Netflix & Hulu Plus are the same you can buy a yearly sub but you don't save anything it still breaks down to the same monthly price.

The most annoying thing about the Network on Xbox and Android anyway is that it doesnt save your spot from when you last watched it like on Netflix. Very annoying having to fast forward through a PPV to find where you were.

otherwise its awesome!

I understood they added this feature a good while back. Resuming from a previous point is on the PS3 app anyways. The timeline bar is pretty annoying, particularly so if you want to pause or rewind on the live stream.

My favourite thing about the Countdown shows is actually knowing Summer Rae never watched Wrestling before signing with WWE.

" s of today, The WWE Network is now available for streaming on The XBox without needing to own a XBox Live membership. There should be an official announcement coming from WWE anytime now about this."

The Attitude era documentary has been added.

Q: when women in the Raw is War audience flashed their breasts, was this shown on Sky Sports?

I recall them adding a disclaimer on the screen when Kane "set fire" to a ring crew member saying it was a stunt. Iirc Raw on Sky was still shown on Friday straight through the boom period.

I think they had DX X's over the breasts. If not it was blurred but in any case we didn't get to see breasts.

I've just watched the attitude era documentary. Jesus you'd forget just how far they went with stuff. It's a wonder how any of us weren't utterly warped after watching it. I love how the wrestlers who were involved in it were happy to be part of it but yet wouldn't let their kids watch it now.

I've been watching Attitude era Raw, they would have been recorded directly from American cable "live" and the tits are always blurred, these were the pre recorded shows that had the tits in em. I think it wasn't til around mid 99 onwards that Raw was broadcast actually live.

Ape Lincoln

Oh yeah, silly me. I forgot they pre- taped some Raw is Wars back then.

Yeah every second RAW was pre-recorded before around mid 99. So they would record Mondays and Tuesdays and then have no TV recordings the following week.

The live sex celebration episode of Raw is up now. No Lita Boob though... So much for uncut!
