WWE Network Thread

Watch the network on me MacBook and PS4. Since the latest update, videos are loading at the very end. For example if a show is on for 90 minutes , and I select it , it starts at 89:55!!!!! Then I have to reload it
Very dis-appointing as when Im watching me old 80's stuff, its giving the main event spoiler by doing this!!!!!!
As for the PS4 interface its shocking altogether. Before the update L1/R1 would skip to the next /previous segment very handy. Now its so clunky and random its really taken from the app.

22-08-2019 10:13pm

I cancelled my subscription. I don't watch any modern stuff on it and was only going through old Nitros and Raws. I tried to watch them without the skip to the end of a match option but it's just ****. Even skipping forward 20 - 30 seconds just leaves me with the loading circle for a good 10 seconds before it skips.

Just a chore going through them now after it was so easy before the update.

Would have been big in the UK scene in the 70s. Did you ever watch any of the World of Sport on ITV back in the day?

RollieFingers · 27-08-2019 10:23am

There's a good bit of his stuff on the network from his time in Mid-South. Was way ahead of his time, had a touch of Goldust about him.

I did it was daft but fun and in the 1980s before Sky tv came along every few months they showed matches from the USA.

They’ve re added chrome casting from the iOS app for the on demand library but not the live channel yet as it’s still under construction apparently. I will say unlike the previous chrome cast which seemed like it was a botch job onto the app this looks far better in design so that’s good. They’ve a ppv this Sunday so you’d think they’d have gotten the live support sorted.

Been watching since '91 and heard of him but I had never seen his work. Good feature though!

Lads does anyone know how to stream the network from iPhone to Apple TV? I have the network on my phone but don’t see any “cast” icon to stream it. Thanks

Why not just use the Apple TV app?

On a similar note is anyone else having issues wiry the network on firestick? Buffering like a mother fk for me. And casting to chromecast is acting the ass too ðŸ™„

oneilla · 13-10-2019 1:40am

Casting has been broken since the update. Best option seems to be to cast from a browser.

You don’t have to use a browser. They updated the app to have it part of the app.

The Ayatolla · 13-10-2019 9:42am

I couldn’t cast HIAC when it was live last Sunday.
Seems you can’t cast a live event since the update.

Is the Broken Skull Sessions not on demand? can't find it on the Network anywhere

Insect Overlord · 26-11-2019 11:50am

Edit: Ignore this, it seems to be working for me again.

I've been having issues with the network since yesterday afternoon. The app won't play anything on my phone and I can't log in on the desktop version. Even the "Reset My Password" button isn't working. I've cleared the cache and accepted cookies and still having no joy at all. Anyone able to help?

Looking at the homepage of the app on my phone now, it's under the trending now and recently added sections.

Its so strange. Its not showing up for me under those headings.

Its actually playing live now on the app, so i can see it there, but it doesn't appear under any of the contents. I even searched under "all" last night - nothing.

I can't add live content to my list either of course!

PTH2009 · 28-11-2019 2:15am

Anyone watch the wwe untold Stings last stand episode??

Decent but found Seth to come off as a bit of a dork in this but sting said it wasn't Seth's fault for the injury and it was just one of those things

U knw deep down he regrets how his wwe run went and not having that chance with the Undertaker. He should of demand a programme with him upon signing. He still wants something but Vince wont do it due to his ego

He is he's a genuine guy from what all I've seen and heard. He also has a clear recollection of things which in pro wrestling as we know can be spotty.

LibSuperstar · 27-12-2019 5:42pm

He came across that way in his podcast appearances.

Itssoeasy · 28-12-2019 5:52pm

The WWE network is replying every PPV from 2019 in order so it started at the royal rumble(obviously says ye) at about midday today and will finish at midday tomorrow. The weekend between Christmas and New Years is a good time to do this.

Blue_Dabadee · 13-01-2020 2:50pm

I really enjoyed Kane interview with Austin. They could of gone on for another hour.

Wathcing the WWE 24 mania 35 episode

I'd say Xavier Woods had a few before Batistas entrance at mania ha

I always enjoy these documentaries but feel there going down in quality a little bit

CastorTroy · 05-02-2020 10:43pm

They miss some things. Like they even mention it's Angle's retirement match but don't talk to him. And the Becky bits were on her own special

Yeah the having no kurt in the documentary was weird but it's not surprising the Becky parts are more or less the same(not like for like) as they were filming her at mania so they used the bits they had of her for a overall mania one.

Blue_Dabadee · 06-02-2020 10:24pm

This looks interesting new series.

The White Wolf · 07-02-2020 7:54am

There's talk that, according to Bryan Alvarez, Vince is trying to shop Wrestlemania which means it won't be on the Network.

The only reason I pay the sub is for the PPVS so if that happens I'll be stopping it.

I'm kind of the same. I use it for archive content but also PPVs. You'd hope cooler heads will prevail and just go with the tiered network that was being talked about. I'd have no issue with that but removing the main selling point of a subscription service is baffling.

If WWE can get DAZN or NBCU's streaming service Peacock, or ESPN+ to pay them more money than they earn from WWE network for their PPV's, then they would move them in a heartbeat.

UFC used to have 10+ live shows a year on Fightpass but they are now on ESPN+. Therefore they still make a little money on Fightpass and get paid more for the live shows on ESPN then they were ever worth to Fightpass.

We're talking about a one day pull of big profit in exchange for a collapse of subscriptions. I don't know about you but their Saudi specials and faux candid documentaries aren't going to hold me to a sub if they go back to selling PPVS.

sky88 · 07-02-2020 4:59pm

if the number are true on what they could get for selling the rights it will be worth losing the scriptitions to them in money terms. a lot more money on the table there.

Then realistly if they offer there archives at a lower rate there will still be people who subscribe just for that

What? It's not a one day of profit? Where are you getting that from?

It's a company offering to pay them more for the 12 PPV's over the course of a year than they make off the network in profit. They don't make huge money on the network.

If the network number drops from 1.5 million to 500,000 or 300,000 but they no longer have much overhead on that figure and they are getting more income from DAZN or NBC, then that is fiscally beneficial for them.

In truth perhaps they've been a bit generous in including PPVS in the package. If they're selling the rights and have to answer to someone else perhaps we might get a higher quality of content, but the way things stand I'm happy, and have, spent my money on NWA PPVS rather than the ****e wwe are currently serving up.

ive been utterly spoilt by the streaming services as ill be honest dont think id ever buy a single ppv again

Monokne · 07-02-2020 5:35pm

I would never buy a stand alone pay per view again. Even the biggest UFC show I just download.

I am sure whatever they do here, there will be some wringing of hands, particularly on social media, but the majority will move on and just get whatever service it is.

The point is can they ? Also, from reading what was said vince said there were several options including the current system(which no doubt won't stay at the price it is now) and they would explore options.

Espn+ isn't available here in Ireland as far as I know so it would cut off a large part of the viewers outside the US.

I'm not saying WWE shouldn't do it or stay as the are in any way with the network(even if they stay with it as is they need to raise prices/bring in tiers) it's the way this seems like a knee jerk reaction to what aren't great financial numbers.

Blue_Dabadee · 07-02-2020 5:42pm

I hate to state the blindingly obvious, but obviously the only reason the conversations are happening is because there is at the very least some big money on the table.

Have a few days off so going to sign up for the free month. Any must watch shows that must be from 88-2000 era.
