WWE Network |OT| $9.99 PPVs, that's gonna put some butts in the seats

ahh cool! I assume intro themes are in fact overwritten and I just didn't notice or pay attention. TBH I don't even know what the main intro theme license transgressions are (aside from some of the more modern ones like Randy Orton, etc)
edit - this seems like a good place to start

Noticed that Raw isn't up there yet. Any word on how long we'll have to wait?
30 days.

I'm surprised it does poor ad rates, I thought ad deals were the main reason they'd gone PG these last years?

I watched all of that classic wrestling review podcast on youtube last week just before WWE started putting up copyright claims. It really made me want to watch some more WWE

Well that sucks, I knew we'd have to wait but that puts a major dampener on the whole thing.

Sponsorships like the National Guard are the main reason they've gone PG. Ad rates are just due to wrestling generally always being viewed as having low-income fans compared to other athletic endeavors.
I've consumed more wrestling in the last 48 hours than I have in the last few years. It's just too bad the network is still struggling to connect for me.
Let's hope, I had to fight for about 3 hours to get the latest NXT to work

Watched "This is NXT". That Cesaro/Sammy Zane match. HOLY SHIT!
Thanks, I didn't realise that, makes sense.
I was just thinking the other day, it seems like not many of their current PPVs are introduced as "WWE and ____ present _____" etc - back in the Attitude era it seemed like every PPV had a sponsor.
It must work out for them though I guess, otherwise they'd change things.

Well Take-Two had better have a skunk-works project working on a new wrestling engine.

Just had no issues on iOS with pulling a previous PPV event. Happy now.
Yeah its been down for me for since 1:30ish I'd say.
Make sure to watch NXT ARRIVAL this Thursday for the rematch.
Is it the full match?I haven't seen it yet

Indeed it is sir!
If you're not a regular watcher of NXT, now's your chance to keep up because there's some really good wrestling on there for a 60 minute show. I personally can't wait to see Arrival, live on the network.
This is actually when Austin took off:
Best Mania match ever imo
You miss some matches and moments, too. Albeit it a lame moment, they cut out the NAOs trying to mess with Betty White from weeks past. I had to watch an ep of ME or SD to see that they even had that spot; let alone it being just a dinky recap. So stuff liek that is disappointing.
And yeah, I like trying to catch the rare Divas match on RAW. I mean, those are the top angles for the division, right? I really like the NXT angles, but a little variety via RAW doesn't hurt.
All in all, I don't really like the 90 min versions. I like some editing down, but not as much as they do with it now.
jhc, I'm sorry but please read up on the thread. Sub and follow up. This has been asked nonstop for over the past 24 hrs in this and the WrassleGAF thread.
No offense to you, specifically. Perhaps it would be nice to place an up-to-date FAQ in the OP. I'm just tired of seeing these posts repeating each and every page. :-/
Sorry to those still having trouble, though.
Not challenging you...but source?
NXT has been the best wrestling promotion on American TV for quite awhile (close to 1 year). The only real weak spot right now is their tag team division.

Feb 24th will have a lot of hype to live up to. Hope they can deliver, but I'll be entertained regardless.

Deal with it. /batista
And they settled with the WWFund and paid them so they wouldn't have to do it anymore, specifically for the Network.
Yeah, don't worry I did! I'm just totally desperate to watch this damn thing! :/
They still won't admit they were ever called the World Wrestling Federation on TV because of brand identity. They may actually not be allowed to admit they were ever called the WWF (the initialism) depending on what kind of a deal they made with the WWFN.

If you pre-ordered the PPV and not the replay then you pre-ordered the right to watch it live.
How bad is the theme music altering?
Can anyone tell me if Alex Wright, Jericho's heel WCW, Rey Mysterio in WCW, and Dean Malenko themes are left in tact?
I'm annoyed easily when it comes to changes. Entrances are important and it's really weird when guys come out to different music. The way they walk and move is off with the rhythm.

You only bought it live, not on demand
I don't know about WCW themes but I was told (I haven't checked this myself yet because I can't get the video to work) but some themes like Undertaker's Kid Rock theme have been restored when previously they were replaced with generic music. So that's a good sign.
When I bought it, the website said I could watch it live or on-demand for thirty days!
This.
But try contacting their Support Center and make your case. I've had friends who did the same and they would credit them the ability to watch replays as a one-off.
That's odd. In any case, ppv.wwe.com seems to have stopped offering PPV re-plays. I couldn't watch Elimination Chamber on there and the Network doesn't even have a launch date where I live.

Alex Wright is 100% pristine. I fucking love Alex Wright.
PEWPEWPEWPEW!!!
My gf and I were laughing about that. And sounds more like a 7200 than a Genny. But all are acceptable forms of funny.
It's likely a client-side issue, so 360 users may have to wait for a patch...which sucks.
I can't even go onto the damn site!
Just checked, even their website says you have 30 days to start watching. This sounds very, very illegal to me. Their support teams have instructed me to wait until it appears on WWE Network (seriously?). Sounds like I'm going to have to get my bank to reverse the charge.
