I'd like them a lot more if Doc Hendrix wasn't involved at all.
1)Wouldn't be the same without JR
2)Listening to all the wrestling podcasts... there's so many interesting stories that just don't get aired any other way
3)This generation will be so boring in 10-15 years... "We were on our tour bus and played video games!"
They are.
The service is new.
Let us be grateful that we get a quality live stream while we wait patiently for all the kinks to be worked out.

yeah just got that with King of the ring 01 so gave up and im watching this is NXT
The main reason they went PG was so they could get a toy deal with Mattel (way better placement than Jakks who they used to use), get a big deal with K-mart, and get a National Guard sponsorship.
Advertisers think (in most cases, rightfully so IMO) that wrestling fans are stupid/low income. Watch the ads that play on Raw, and then flip over to a channel like TNT or TBS (lower rated networks than USA, and whatever they are showing probably isn't beating Raw) and see whats being advertised there.
I remembered something about ECW Hardcore TV that I wonder will appear on the Network. The ECW Pulp Fiction promos. Every now and then usually before a PPV or major show ECW would air a long highlight package of promos and angles with Miserlou playing on loop. One of those videos even appeared unaltered as an easter egg on The Rise & Fall Of ECW DVD. They are awesome video clips if you can find them (still on Youtube from what I can see) and it would be great if they are included on the Network versions, even if Miserlou is dubbed out.
This is actually when Austin took off:
Yep.
His rise began with KotR 1996, but his feud with Bret Hart, culminating in the no DQ submission match at Wrestlemania 13, that's what caused him to take off.

Can someone explain, in laymans terms, how the subscription works? Do I pay 60 bucks up front or is there some other way they enforce the 6 month commitment?

Think of it like a cellphone contract. It's 9.99 a month but if you cancel before the end you will pay the price and be held to term.
Why is it through out this thread there are so many people that sound like they are looking for ways to rip off and exploit this?
It is a bit pathetic really.
Yeah got kicked out of what I was watching after so many laggy stutters.
I am on a 90/10 connection and my speedtest over wireless right now is at 82.06 mbps down, 11.66 mbps up and that is over wireless.
My PS4 is hardwired so it will have an even better more stable connection.

There are a ton of them
Was my favorite part of WWE 24/7 but think they haven't done a new one in over a year.

Is there a way to sign up for the free trial without giving them your CC info?
No. Not even that big a deal if you have paypal use that to sign up. It tells you when you have to cancel before they charge you.

i hope you're not trolling ...
So do I.
Username actually comes from my senID/PSN. People kept reading it wrong so I shortened it to reflect their phonetic pronunciation.
I'm actually about to go after my next class lets out. Have a months worth of reading in my pull list and I didn't want to miss out on anything else on the network if it has trouble loading later.

Live feed works great for me, but I can't get archives to play for shit on any browser or console.
I know it's not my internet speeds. 30 down / 5 up isn't amazing but it should be fine to play some streaming videos off the internet.
Any tips to make this thing work or is it just a wait and see sort of deal?

ECW was awesome as fuck, but its a total relic of the 90's. Its grimy atmosphere, grungy Nirvana gimmicks, 2 Pac gimmicks and heavy metal theme and tv filter make ECW reek of 90's. Not that its a bad thing at all, hell I am an ECW mark. I wonder how people growing up now will view ECW. I was like 10 when I first saw it and it blew my mind.
Brodus Clay has already gotten more screen time on the Network than he's had on Raw this year.
Edit: Men On A Mission music video
Yeah, same here. Every so often it lets me watch something but then it just kicks back out.

Noticing the same thing on my phone. Live feed works great but the archives are struggling.
Can't log in at all with the Xbox app. Keeps giving me User Or Password unrecognized though I've double checked them both. Shouldn't be much delay in activation right?
You misspelled WCW.

I've had similar results with the PS3 app that others have had; live feed good, on demand feed awful with significant buffering or no video available, but with the 360 app, I can't even log in. Says password or username are incorrect, but neither are...
WCW at least had a golden period, ECW was nothing but trash from start to finish
You take that back!

Royal Rumble 2011 finally showed up. Great American Bash 1991 is still missing for whatever reason.

wut? It was fucking awesome from 95-98. Started to decline in 99-2000 once Raven, Sandman, Taz and Sabu left. RVD was injured and they had a lack of stars. I mean Steve Corino was the main heel for a time. I didn't really dig 2000 era ECW, it started to become a bit more mainstream.

It is legitimately the worst PPV of all time and I can think of no other reason for it being absent.
