"HD" as in "not from a VHS that has been watched 100 times"
leave it to a man with a Bo Dallas av to not shell out $10
Or what about
Disclaimer but he is going to be allowed back into WWE History
Or what about
I think I read here Yes Benoit footage will be included but will have a warning.
So you want to resort to piracy for something that only costs $10/month? Really?

Embarrassed probably isn't what they are feeling. IIRC, UFC had 6 of the top 10 PPVs last year, while WWE only had 1. The rest were boxing PPVs. So at this point I don't think they have to make drastic changes to their business. Not yet anyway. The time will come, but as long as they are pulling in numbers like that, they won't respond, they don't have to. But I agree that this could really change the PPV business going forward. It really changes the value proposition.

It would be nice if a mod updated the title and maybe the OT was updated if it hasn't been. Either that or someone really should make a post with the news. You have to figure there are some who haven't set foot in here who would be interested.
Was that in the press conference and I missed it?
Sure, but it will be broadcast here in HD, so you'll see it better than it's ever been seen more. Old VHS rips will no longer be needed.

My boy, John Cena, mentioned this goes live after Raw in Feb. That means they're going to have a crazy overrun that spills over to the WWE Network. They should tease something major like Bo Dallas' re-debut or Rene Young taking her top off to reveal hand print pasties.

The two biggest draws in the company are essentially out of the sport. One got his leg shattered at the age of 38 and the other retired to deal with personal issues. They have no stars left.

They mentioned having 100,000 hours of digitized content already for it. I did mafs.
That's how a rich ass genius gives the middle finger.
For a limited time. I'm willing to bet that limited time doesn't stretch to WrestleMania
Pretty much.
Except you can't do that yet.

No way man, it's all legit. I'm only sharing with my blood relatives and watching simultaneous streams on different devices within my own household.

They'll probably edit that match out.
I'm actually unsure what it is I'm most interested in "having" from the Network. The old content, the current PPVs/TV shows at no extra charge, the original programming (including stuff like those daily shows and post and pre shows, imagine how much more of the roster would get to perform).
Ah, screw it, it's probably the old content. But the other stuff is nice.

They are incredibly similar as business entities. WWE's television deal will blow UFC's out of the water, and their pay-per-view numbers will become similar now that GSP and Anderson are out of the picture.
WWE's network seeks to expand their audience, UFC's does nothing but exploit their niche.
UFC just lost two of their biggest draws and are actively pursuing Brock Lesnar, a WWE sports entertainer, to fill that void.
This may be a crazy thought, but I wonder if this will hurt the buys for Rumble and Elimination Chamber this year. I know, they likely don't care much with it being so soon to the launch of the network, but still. It's hard to swallow buying those two shows at full price and then bam, the rest are next to nothing.

Hell yes! Totally forgot about this! They need to get that up on there!

Hell I wouldn't be surprised to see that entire PPV not show up. I wouldn't blame them either. I still remember that PPV.
Oh man this would be pretty freaking awesome!
$9.95 per month for all PPVs and every show ever broadcast, and since I live in Australia I probably won't see this made available until 2015. WWE are offering up a damn good deal.
Yeah. Probably gonna have to wait for their current TV contracts to expire before they can negotiate that.

Excellent. My net's pretty shitty. I'll be able to test and see if it works before locking into 6 months. Here's hoping they have a 240p option like Youtube and UFC Fight Pass.
Not a chance. They are doing the TV rights negotiations right now. They want to get the football/NASCAR deals for TV rights fees. If it goes well, they will basically double the amount of money they receive from their weekly TV shows like RAW, as a default, without altering a thing.
Plus, you can't put ALL of it on the Network. You need RAW to bring viewers in and entice them to buy the Network.
They've already said there will be weekly encores of RAW, SD, etc on the Network, so while they can't show them live, they can show them presumably the day after.

Nah, what's it's missing is Piper's Pit
Its to obviously prevent people from just hopping on for a month or two for Royal Rumble or Mania. It's a catch I can honestly understand given the deal they're offering.
I already have some ideas of stuff I want to see in better quality.
Most of them involve Sunny. OMG that Silver Dress
I have no problem with this. It's basically paying for one pay-per-view.
