One of my friends is going to day-one it. Since we're most likely going to be watching WrestleMania at his place per tradition I'm thinking I'll wait until seeing if WM is dogshit before making up my mind.
I will, as soon as I can from where I am of course. 9,99 a month for all that content and all the PPV's? How could I possibly resist?

Although I am interested in the content both new and old, I do not wish to give the WWE my money. So, that's a no from me.
That being said, the WWE Network is obviously a great deal.

Why aren't you subscribing? The network will change your life forever.
If I can get around the region lock I might.
I would hibernate like Cartman waiting for the Wii if I could.
And Foley
And Taker
And the fucking New Age Outlaws
HHH's biggest pop came that one night when he came back from his quad injury. He was never really that over during the Attitude Era. He was just on TV a lot.
I'm in Canada, so I can't. I probably won't even when it is available.
I want to, going to be a long wait though for the UK to get it.
Come on guys, lets not overstate things, Heel HHH in the Attitude Era was pretty great and definitely on the level of the sub-Rock and Austin stars. I really enjoyed that run from him and while WWE might make him a bigger deal than he was, he certainly wasn't a midcarder at that point by any stretch of the imagination.

Exactly. He got A LOT of heat. As viewer from 1996 to 2001, I really enjoyed watching the progression of his character.
Edit:
Kinda on topic. I remember seeing The Rock Vs. HHH in a ladder match for the IC title. It was a great match. Even though HHH won it, everyone just knew that The Rock was the one that was going to benefit the most from the match. It took years for HHH to catch up to him.

Basically any show in 1999 from any of the 3 companies is complete garbage to me. Total Crash TV nonsense. -Especially- WWF. Oh good lord.
HHH was big during the Attitude Era and nobody will ever deny that, but he wasn't even the top heel
Vince was

As soon as there is a work-around using DNS settings for WWE Network that will be my day one. Hopefully that day comes before NXT Arrival.
I think a big part of it was that he was pushed as a big heel.
And when it didn't work, they would try more.

Form the McMahon-Helmsey Faction
Team Him with Austin
It also helps that Austin and Taker went out around the same time with injuries and Foley was retiring. Left a huge chasm to fill.

You're already paying for something that used to be free, what's another service?

1st Punk, now Justin King, soon Del Rio. Why bother anymore?
Buyee works really well.
They actually tried to squeeze that whole thing in on the entrance ramp in N.X.T. and it was significantly worse. Thank goodness people saved those when they originally went up so we could get the best version.
On one hand, this could be incredible. On the other hand, they are bringing people from the main roster in. Hopefully their storylines won't take over the show.

Did we talk about Batista's ass pic when that was still news? Because Batista tweeted a picture Butt-ista

I posted it and was hated for it. The one with the business card in his ass, right?
They've got 2 or 3 main event matches planned, and likely an undercard to go with it. I'm guessing it's a full PPV type show. Cesaro vs Zayn 2/3 Falls #2 could be an episode on it's own.
Assuming they don't allow subs with Canadian credit cards, what method do you plan to use to subscribe? I've yet to find a way that doesn't end up being prohibitive because of fees, like buying a pre-paid American Visa.

Hm you're right. They WERE saying it would all be available but now the wording is a little different. Ugh.
Still, best value in sports entertainment babay!

Yup, I must have been away or on one of my benders when it was posted the first time. Oh well.
We'll have to wait and see I guess. I own a Macy's credit card with an American billing address but I'd rather not deal with that hassle.
You can just but a prepaid Visa in your own country actually, they're anonymous so they don't have a name + address attached to them, basically you can subscribe with a random US postal code and you're good to go.

Are you talking about PS+? Because thats the best service I've ever paid for.
Bought a 3DS XL yesterday. Really wish it had something like PS+.
Oh cool, thanks. I've come close to making an US PayPal account a few times, but it just seems like such a fucking hassle. I hate when companies make it hard for me to spend money.

What? PS+? Why would I bring that up? It's not really comparable, I'd say...except the fact that you're renting, I guess. PS+ turned into a good value once they kicked Instant Game Collection into gear.
I am just for the Attitude Era PPV's and the WCW ones

After watching all these KinPuro card opening vids, I'm pretty sure I'm just going to buy a pack when I go
HHH's biggest wrestling talent was backstage politicking. He surrounded himself with the right people, talked the right talk, and then married the boss's daughter.
I feel bad because it seems like I'm belittling HHH, he was talented and definitely put on some good matches. But if Austin and Rock were Hogan and Macho, then HHH was Ted DeBiase in comparison. The only A-tier thing HHH really did have was an ego.

I honestly loved HHH until that boring Evolution shit, but by that time I wasn't really watching full time. Now I am just sick of HHH.
His win at Wrestlemnia 2000 main event was shocking. That's one of the few times a HEEL ever get OVER on the biggest stage of them all.
It was cool.

Big show jobbing in like 3 minutes was hilarious
I'm not really interested in revisiting the olden days of wrasslin. I've already watched a lot of it as a kid.
And the current product today is not worth paying money for sadly.
But yes, the service does indeed offer great value for wrestling fans.

That is one nice-looking fan of cards. Everything looks pristine - to the point where I think they might be glued together.

Fun fact: proper Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs wore only denim vests (no leather) up until the late 70s because wearing leather in the summer months made you look like a pussy who needed protective clothing.
