Not looking forward to the Monday Night War show at all since they've told their version of the story so many times now but they're putting up new stuff just a bit faster than I can get around to watching it which is alright by me.

There are still discrepancies between different platforms eg. ECW Heatwave '99 on the PS3 is censored while via the network's website it is not - Bubba Ray's pre-match obscene promo.

Am I the only one looking forward to legends house? :P

Been meaning to check out Total Divas so happy with that.

On another note, despite the idea of a 6 month commitment, I so far have been paying monthly; the second tenner just went out of my account a few days back :S

It's still a 6 month commitment

If you cancel tomorrow they'll still take out a tenner each month for the next 4 months.

Or the USA Network doesn't allow them however I haven't read that there is a limit on the plugs. USA Network seem kind of ok with the WWE Network if anything. It is a bit of a mystery to me at least.

I'd been pondering that myself. My theory is they know that their next big load of new subscriptions is going to come next week so the go home show for Wrestlemania is when they'll really push it hard and if they were happy enough with how it was doing, they felt it was wiser to wait and do a big push on Mania week then continually drive it down our throats.

That said, it's very un-WWE like, the whole thing. They normally push stuff so hard it's a turn off. Remember when Cole spent 90 minutes of a 2 hour Raw talking about what was trending a couple years back??

Ape Lincoln · 29-03-2014 10:47PM

This has been like this for a couple of weeks now.

That's hilarious! Mind if I post it on my site?

I don't mind at all

A Smackdown episode from August 8 2002 is up. I highly recommend giving the Smackdown episodes of late 2002 a watch as SD was on fire (Paul Heyman was the booker and the show featured great matches with a high workrate). This show has Kurt Angle vs John Cena, Brock vs Hulk, pre-Evolution Batista, Edge/Cena/Mysterio vs Kurt Angle/Eddie/Benoit.

Hopefully they put more 2002 SD shows up soon. RAW in comparison at the time was rubbish as Triple H had just begun his mass burial.

Austin HHH from No way out 2001. Seriously intense feud. loved it then, love it now.

The intensity of that feud is one of the reasons why so many people stopped watching wrestling a few weeks later - no-one could believe HHH and Stone Cold could be allies. I found it to be an insult to my intelligence even though I was only 14 at the time.

Lads, lads, lads.

Does everyone have those big black borders on the left, rignt and bottom of the screen? If that's correct I am watching Mania on Sky Box Office for sure.

What are you watching it on?

rovert · 30-03-2014 11:21PM

Desktop/Google Chrome

Will give the Xbox 360 a go tomorrow.

The Ayatolla · 30-03-2014 11:23PM

Seems to have a black bar at the bottom alright where the "Play/Pause" bar disappears. Using a macbook pro, but the resolution on my screen isnt 16:9.

Seems perfect on PS3 and iPhone.

savemejebus · 30-03-2014 11:26PM

I get it on some stuff, older ppvs and legends of wrestling roundtables but for the newer stuff (nxt arrival and main event) it's been the widescreen bars at top and bottom only, and that is on chrome.

rovert · 30-03-2014 11:28PM

Cool lads. I'll figure it out.

Ape Lincoln · 31-03-2014 01:13AM

Iirc I get a horizontal black bar on the bottom of he screen for everything using a web browser on the laptop. I use the PS3 though and there's only vertical bars on non HD stuff.

Speaking of HD I'm not impressed with the 720p. I was watching some mathes from the last few Manias and the bluray which is 1080 looks way better. WWE's lighting and LED screens and the pyro cause all sorts of compression artifacts which show up on the Network stream though not as notable on bluray.

Sky Box office is 1080 I assume meaning better picture quality. Netflix has 1080 so WWE were being a bit cheap going with only 720.

If you have any questions about this issue, please call a dedicated customer service hotline at 866-888-5018 between 9a and midnight (ET) within the next three days.

Sincerely,

Rovert - might be worth your while watching a live 'Main Event' on the Xbox before Mania. I had an Xbox and it gave me endless problems between buffering, stretching the image incorrectly, placing the image on the right hand side of the screen entirely and having one giant black bar on the left hand side rather than the usual bars on either side, etc.

I'd anticipate for the HD stuff it should be ok but Main Event is your last chance to check.

If you're with UPC they don't even give you the option to order stuff on box office in HD which is a disgrace in this day and age.

Hi guys,

This has probably been covered numerous times but I can't seem to see it.

I am trying to look at this on my ps3 and while I can watch the "live now" streams, when I try to watch an old ppv I get a "Fatal Error".

Also when I try to watch on desktop (Chrome using Hola) nothing loads at all.

Could someone PM me instructions on how to get this working?

I am sh*tting myself that I wont be able to see Wrestlemania

31-03-2014 11:27AM

All episodes of raw from 1 - 27 are now showing up. There was a few gaps in the episodes. The first few are hard to watch though with that "comedian" on commentary.
