WWE Network impressions

[SuperKevin]

Right now on the Network they are showing us matches that are being taped for Superstars that will then be shown on Superstars on the Network on Thursday

I have not looked through the archives yet. I'm enjoying the live stream. I want to check out the Pre-Show shit.

Looking now...

No PPVs from ECW. Only PPVs from 2001 from WCW.

A few random HardcoreTVs. A World Class from 1982. Scant amounts of RAW and Smackdown.

The app is a bit slow at the moment.

Overall, I assume they will start adding shit for onDemand as it shows live on the network. Once its first run is on, it'll then be archived for onDemand.

The framework is definitely there for something awesome...just need the content to fill in, which I assume it will after its first run.

PRELIM MATCHES!

Same issues as Roku.

It does appear the stuff like ECW, World Class, etc is added once it airs first run on the live stream. But it shouldn't be missing PPV's. The archive if you go through your computer has everything.

I'm assuming (hoping) it will all be added.

Jerry Lawler is no Mean Gene...but...

POST MATCH PODIUM PROMO!!!!!

[Warner2BruceTD]

WWE Network was supposed to be delayed for Canada, but...

It showed up on my Apple TV this morning when I was about to watch Netflix. Apparently the WWE made a deal with Apple, so it's available in Canada on day one. You only have the six-month option on Apple TV (which I would have bought anyway).

Tried to skip forward to the 1988 Royal Rumble, but it wouldn't work. Too early to bash the Network. First day - you expect hiccups.

dave, are you watching now? Can you confirm this?

[SuperKevin]

OOOH. Generic Video game style random backstage argument

Maybe this pre show isn't all that bad

[dave]

dave, are you watching now? Can you confirm this?

No, I'm at work. Don't get home until 9:30 p.m. at the earliest.

What do you need me to confirm?

[Aso]

The app shows before you can actually buy it. Thats probably what dave saw.

No. I bought it. It worked. I watched a little bit of NXT.

Like I wrote, you can only buy a six-month subscription, not one month at a time.

Yeah, many people confirmed on Twitter as well. Canada is a go, with Apple TV.

[OnlyOneBeerLeft]

yeah im not judging untill next week, feel like this is going to be huge ... hope the NFL is watching

I would totally bite if NFL released a 20$ a month service, which was essentially NFL Network, a back catalog of games and team films, and all the games, that would be fucking amazing, hope this does well and gets them thinking.

So far I haven't really been able to watch much, I understand not doing Raw and Smackdown live, they have contracts with those networks. I will probably jump a little deeper in after the Raw post show

[Warner2BruceTD]

The "This is NXT" special is pretty great. It has the Cesaro/Zayn MOTY contender from last year if you haven't seen it.

The full match or the butchered shit that aired on NXT?

[Warner2BruceTD]

Ok, my favorite show is Old School. It's basically all of the old televised house shows from the 70's & 80's from MSG, Boston Gardens, Maple Leaf Gardens, Spectrum, LA Sports Arena, Capitol Center, etc.

If you use the search function, you can find lots of shit that isnt in the vault. I searched The Islanders, and a 10/19/86 house show from HOUSTON of all places popped up with a 14-team tag team battle royal. Then I found the next night of the tour 10/20 from MSG, with the same match. You can practically watch entire house show tours on this fucking thing!

My favorite shit ever is those 80's house shows. This Old School is a nice surprise. Worth the $10 alone for me.

[Warner2BruceTD]

The full match or the butchered shit that aired on NXT?

I was on the phone when it was on, so it didnt have my full attention. Not sure.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I am nearly certain I'll watch WrestleMania Rewind INFINITE times.
