Cool.

And I wonder if the WWE will do a "Before they were WWE Superstars" type show where they would talk about their past. Get some old matches on there from the various indy feds.

The possibilities are endless!

Does the WWE have rights to OVW? Cause that would be fun to watch as well. I want them to put damn near everything on the network.

Only what was done when OVW was a developmental territory (from I think 2000-2008). Anything after that is OVW's only.

Tyler Breeze is just so GOOD in backstage segments, he made a segment with Adrian Neville, one of the most robotic uncharismatic talkers they have, amazing.

The crowd this week is pretty weird so far though. it's quieter and also piped in, but not all the time. It was especially more noticeable since Aidan English didn't have music to sing over.

So they're retaining the TV-14 and TV-MA ratings from the original airings, woah. I'll take the trial, and if everything is really intact then I'll definitely sign up.

Will Royal Rumble 2000 also be censored? Please let it stay censored.

They'll probably bill it as the Mae Young memorial retrospective.

Really excited for the network thingy. Hope unblock-us supports it before the UK release.

Regarding the WWE Network, William Regal said on Twitter, "Great news about the #WWENetwork.I filmed the other day for a documentary about me and the evolution of my character from "Lord"till now."

Neat.

Reading elsewhere, I don't think it will be available without the 6 month commitment. Hoping that it goes to a month-to-month $10 after the initial 6 months though rather than buying it in chunks.

On Figure 4 it sounds like it will always be like that. Makes sense if you give the PPV away. They also said that they hope to reach 17 countries until the end of the year. That makes me hope that it will most likely include Germany.

Nope. According to Meltzer, it's only going to be available in 6-month chunks. You'll only be charged $10/month, but if you cancel it, you'll be charged the leftover amount.

Haha the German Facebook page of WWE is pretty funny. Everyone thinks the price is fine and they would no longer have to watch all their stuff illegally on the internet. Don't know if that is smart on Facebook. Also lots of complaints because there is no announcement for us.

Did they mention anything about commercials being in the WWE Network like Hulu has? The Hulu ads just seem to get longer and longer

Oh that's alright then. I'd just much rather it comes out per month rather than in a lump sum, so that's fine.

To be fair it is a pretty shitty move to announce a great service and then ignore major markets (other than the usual "Maybe someday it'll launch elsewhere" comment). At least give us more information. That said they can't honestly believe people here will be willing to buy PPVs if there's a much cheaper service in the US (and elsewhere). It's something that also bothered me when Sony announced Playstation Now. You can't just announce a service like that and then completely ignore all other markets.

I think you have to with a lot of these services, otherwise you just get overloaded and can't scale with demand. They'll probably have a data centre somewhere closer to the other markets and feel the need to translate the content before they push it to other countries.

I get their reasoning, but it's just not smart to say it like that on Facebook I think. I am also bummed out about it. Maybe I can use the US version through a proxy like Netflix. I love Netflix, I pay for it, wish we had a comparable service here.

Like Jesse said it's monthly. I agree that's better than having to pay it all up front. Technically it doesn't make a difference but I would also feel better about it this way.

I'm really hoping that http://www.unblock-us.com/ gets support for this. I use it for Netflix to get the US content and it works with a bunch of other services. It's also a DNS change rather than a proxy so it doesn't slow down my internet either.

I don't know. Nowadays I would expect a global company to have at least more information for their major markets, not just some stupid "Maybe later", at least some explanation *why* it's not launching in those markets. It's just bad style to ignore them.

As for Netflix, there's *somewhat* comparable services. Maxdome seems okay at first glance, even if it offers significantly less (and has a really shitty website).
Click to expand...

The problem for me with most comparable services is that most of their content is only available dubbed. That's an instant no go for me. I need the original language no matter which one it is. That would also be a death sentence to the network for me if I have to listen to the German commentary.

I use hola. Works also fine with Netflix. Zero issues with HD streams. If only rights weren't this complicated then people wouldn't need to jump through hoops for stuff they are willing to pay for.

El Idiota said:
I think Maxdome has dual audio for much of their content, at least it showed English and German as languages when I last checked. I never bothered to test it a month for free though, so no idea whether the service is good. I found the offered TV shows and movies a tad disappointing.
Click to expand...

That's exactly the problem. Maybe they have the language issue solved but the content is just not there. Same goes for Lovefilm streaming and Whatchever.

Yeah, it's a mess. It's a shame HBO don't offer HBOGO internationally too.

At leas with the WWE Network they own all the content so there should be any region shenanigans, except possibly in non-English speaking countries.

Damn, Hola looks great for free. I'd jump on that if they had a solution for consoles/phones.

Word is Bo Dallas has been doing his asshole oblivious heel character on main roster house shows by getting the city they're in wrong, etc. I bet they would completely run out of ideas if he actually debuted on the main roster though.

That's pretty common for when they have an unknown on the live shows, just to make sure the crowd cares a little bit about the match.

Okay that's good, 10 dollars a month is fine but having to suck up the entire 60 dollars at one time would have been a problem
