Regal tweeted a little while ago that it'll be split up into 2 separate hour shows and shown in the normal timeslot worldwide. Not sure what that means for the regular NXT weekly show since it'd be a week behind then.
EDIT: Thinking about it, they may have a week off and show Arrival on Hulu the week after while the rest of the world gets the second hour.

Thanks. Found the Tweet. https://twitter.com/RealKingRegal/status/434060433255723008
If there is no way for the Network to be accessed outside US, then I guess that is something! Not ideal though - and not a good sign of things to come if WWE are pushing Network going forward.

RINGS - KIYOSHI TAMURA vs MIKHAIL ILLOUKHINE - 1996
Mik is in the blue shorts, Tamura in the red. i always felt Tamura had one of the best physiques in Japanese wrestling.
the action begins. both wrestlers studying each other, waiting for an opening. Tamura chooses low kicks as his primary method of attack. Mik gets a hold of one and counters with a kneebar attempt. Tamura rolls and escapes from the submission. both men are circling each other, waiting for the time to strike. Tamura goes back to his kicks but gets countered with a huge slam.
Mik is now working on an armbar attempt. drags Tamura to the center of the ring but Tamura reverses position and now he's on top. goes for the armbar but loses position to Mik. Mik now on his feet switches to a back body clinch but gets countered with a rolling kneebar from Tamura.
Mik struggles and has to resort to a rope escape to break the hold. Mik manages to takedown Tamura again and goes for a leg lock. Tamura rolls but ends up with Mik on top of him. Mik goes for a standing kneebar, locks it in. Tamura tries to escape but Mik drops down to a full kneebar. not looking good for our japanese warrior. he tries to reach ropes but they're too far. Tamura only chance is tocounter and does! Tamura gets the upper position, drops down for his own cross kneebar!! fantastic sequence.
Mik managed to espace using the ropes. both men are up again. Tamura insists with the kicks and gets countered by Mik. Mik works on the ground and secures a seldom seen calf crusher submission but the far more agile Tamura manages to escape. glorious mat wrestling sequence by Tamura that ends in an armbar attempt, amazing stuff.
but it leads to nothing, as Mik reverses and get Tamura on his back. Mik working on a choke hold, switches to a crucifix. Tamura is one step ahead and immediately counters it with a kneebar. Mik escapes and now has top position but crafty Tamura lures him to the ground and manages a rear neck crank submission attempt. very technical ground battle now, lots of submissions and reversals. Tamura goes for an armbar but fails to secure Mik's arm. Mik is up, goes for yet another kneebar. now working on a STF but Tamura quickly escapes. another leg lock hold by Mik, gives it up in exchange for top control. lapse from Mik and he gets caught in an elbow crusher.
Mik squeezes out of the submission and counters with a nice figure 4 kneebar hold. both men rolls to the ropes and we have a break. both men are back up after minutes of intense ground battle. Tamura hits a push kick to Mik's chest and follows up with open palm strikes. Mik goes down for the count.
man, that count only pissed Mik. he comes in full force and secures the takedown followed by a spinning kneebar.
Tamura escapes but Mik is on top of him again, goes for the takedown but misses. another takedown attempt, this time he gets it. Tamura tries to counter but gets caught in a triangle armbar instead, has to resort to a rope break. both men wildly trading blows, Tamura lands an accidental low blow. Mik recovers and is back on the attack. Mik gets to close and is taken down by Tamura, who locks in a rear naked choke and finishes the bout via submission. a very ground based shoot-style match, very good if you're into methodical ground battles.

sample of the super fun Suzuki v Kanehara match:
i have a kid, i barely play games and only watch minutes of wrestling. it's manageable.

I just did the same thing with "Inside Out" on Hulu with the same results.
I have a DVD of this, and that's definitely closer to what I was looking for.
FAVE FIVE TIME:
1. Tekken Tag Tournament 2
2. Red Dead Redemption
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Saints Row 3
5. Pacman Champion Edition DX +
Can't he take out Sheamus? I've waited far too long for just one more match.
Daniel Bryan's best shirt yet. Not that it's saying much, but that one might actually sell.
Seriously guys, if you ever want Daniel Bryan to become something in this company, you need to start buying his shit. I know it seems silly, but so far Daniel Bryan isn't exactly proving to be a draw to Vince and the only way to get this company to push anyone is to spend your money on a guy.
That said, this shirt is not available in the Euroshop yet, so I'm counting on you US-GAF!

I buy that this week with my tax refund. He needs a Brawlin Buddy.
Relevant size is sold out, not a chance I can squeeze into a large.

I've made a number of posts detailing my issues with GTAV, but I guess THIS ONE will do as an overall list since it covers pretty much all of my issues. Obviously I agree that GTAV was a disappointment, and it honestly surprises me at how much praise the game receives. I finished the campaign in September and never touched it again to clean up the remaining missions or
______________________________________________________
Fave Five of last gen:
1. Bayonetta
2. Red Dead Redemption
3. The Last of Us
4. Uncharted 2
5. Metal Gear Rising
- Honorable mentions: Vanquish, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Sleeping Dogs, Saints Row 2, Journey, Bully: Scholarship Edition, Okami HD, Resident Evil 4 HD, Beyond Good & Evil HD, more I'm likely forgetting
Biggest Dissapointments:
1. Max Payne 3 (specifically the amount of cutscenes in the game)
2. Def Jam Icon (specifically that AKI didn't develop it....oh and it was garbage)
3. GTAIV + GTAV
4. Mass Effect trilogy (It turned into a jumbled mess of Jesus fan fiction instead of a badass space exploration Shooter-RPG with crew relationship drama)
5. Uncharted 3
- Other disappointments: Brutal Legend, Crackdown 2

I definitely DQ HD remakes. That's like putting the Rocky III/IV 4k Rerelease on the movie of the year list. Other people don't feel that way though, and that's ok.

That RE4 is one of the last true masterpieces in gaming and I missed out on the others in the PS2 gen? Whatchu tryna say?
Hardly. The only reason I remember those disappointing games is because I was so hyped for each of them (aside from Def Jam Icon which I knew would be garbage the second they took AKI off). I bought a PS4 day 1 and we still don't have any truly "next-gen" games. I bought a Wii U just because of Platinum's exclusive games. The hype is still there.
BTW, I'm only jaded with the WWE because 8 times out of 10 they screw everything up. NJPW still gives me those feels I look for, there's just less to discuss with them.
