i get really bad lag on my ps4 WWE network app any time up to 1am and there is no adblock on that and ive an 8meg connection. Every other steaming network is flawless. It's not your broadband or adblock, the WWE need to upgrade their bandwidth methinks! I only watch the network late at night as it is unwatchable during the daytime.

Just watched the iron Man match from mania XII(12) and it was post this that shawn must have gone down hill then ? He looked in good shape in this match.

I can't remember Shawn giving any less regardless of what "Demons" he was fighting, or if he wasn't smiling anymore. Always put the work in while in the ring.

Hey guys, hope someone on here can help please me with an audio issue with the Network on my laptop - ok its like this- the picture/quality of stream i good- the audio on the other hand is really poor, very choppy sound- as in- it keeps breaking up- like distorted, ive adblock turned off and flash upgraded- the thing thats completely thrown re: a solution to this is that if i am to scroll down to a point on the page that the stream is playing on, where the stream/player is no longer visible (out of screen) then there is a big improvement in the sound quality, if while the stream is playing and the audio is rubbish (which it has been now for over a week) i then open a new tab and the sound is then perfect- only problem then is that i obviously cant view it cos im in a different window- i'd be grateful of any help or thoughts on a cause and most of all a solution to this issue- anyone else have an issue like this? one other thing- it works fine on my iphone from the same wifi source as the laptop- Thanks in advance!

I'm not saying he ever gave less than 100% in any match but he didn't look very towards the end of his first run.

Shawn felt the pressure of having to carry the company as the top guy when business wasn't very good. He was very insecure and it didn't help when Bret resigned for a mega 20 year deal for mega bucks.

Shawn was prone to some recreational use of various substances as well which obviously clouds one's judgement. His tantrum during the Vader match at Summerslam that year was risible (even if Vader was at fault).

Sounds like an issue at your end with computer hardware or software with streaming stuff. I have tried streaming videos on old laptops running XP for example and the sound breaks up, the hard drive heats up and eventually shuts down.

Anyone having trouble watching a US based network account without unblock US in Ireland?

Whenever I login, I get diverted to the sign up page. This only happens on my PC. Works fine through my PS3.

Have you tried another browser?

Or contacting the network customer care people?

Jerichoholic · 01-02-2015 07:48PM

There is a definite problem with the Network.

Some days it works fine, other days it continues to buffer every couple of seconds. I have no problem with any other streaming service.

DM_7 · 01-02-2015 10:08PM

I couldn't watch on Chrome the past while and started using Firefox.

Just went on on Chrome, logged out and back in again and it works.

Tramps Like Us · 01-02-2015 10:36PM

I use it on the ps3, works perfect.

Just noticed that the 12 Days of Attitude section which had some full Rae and SD episodes is gone so I am guessing that this section will be gone by March.

Noob question, but are Raw and Smackdown not shown live on the Network? No sign of Raw in the schedule tonight, and no episodes of either available since the end of December

No they aren't due to agreements with TV Networks. Networks pay too much money for those shows to allow those shows to be aired on the Network at the same time or even close to the same as the TV airing.

4 week delay. Hulu do have replays the next day, but this is a subscription based service too

Any way to remove things from the continue watching thing? I've tried skipping to the last few seconds but it doesn't seem to do anything and still remains there. Do I have to watch a certain amount of it before it will go?

You have to do it from a broswer it took me ages to find a way to do it.

It's a pain in the arse.

Why doesn't the next episode of a series play automatically!? It seems that the same episodes just start again.

Apologies for being flippant but it is because it's so poorly developed and they're now at the stage where they've sunk their money in and are unlikely to bother making it run better.

That and they just HAVE TO make you watch the annoying little jingle with the TV rating at the start of every video, even 30second videos.

Ageyev · 03-02-2015 05:20AM

On Austin's podcast post-Raw he is asking questions about kayfabe and booking.

Triple H closed Raw staring at a monitor in character all angry and said he would respond on the podcast.

Awkward.

Working fine here on PS3. PS3 is 30seconds behind the website but.

Ageyev · 03-02-2015 01:43PM

Don't know where else to ask this but, were there any pre-show matches from before the Network launched that were particularly good and worth seeking out?
