Psycosis is so good.
The Stalker was supposed to be more of an actual gimmick, but then it got dropped to an out of shape Barry Windham wearing cameo and face paint. Same idea as the Widowmaker in 1989.
I really hope after the launch stabilises they work on getting a consistent experience across all devices. I didn't catch Raw Backstage Pass and decided I'd like to watch it. Here's what I found, on PC, PS3 and PS4:
- Is it in on demand, maybe in the Raw section or ideally its own Raw Backstage Pass section? No, doesn't seem to be.
- Okay, it's in the schedule as it was on earlier today. Try to watch it on PS4 "This programme has not aired yet (yes it has!), it will be available after it premieres". Same on PS3
- On PC I can watch it by searching for "Backstage Pass" which seems to be the only way to get it to work.
- Okay, maybe I can do that on PS3. Nope - "Backstage Pass" isn't one of the app's recognised search terms, so it refuses to search for it.
On an unrelated note, Raw episode 5 is available via search, but not in the on demand section.
Quite frustrating, hopefully the on demand experience improves a bit soon.

Thats fucking awesome actually.
It would be awesome if they aired the old RAWS and Nitro at the same time at 8/9 EST on Monday Nights
I just want to sit in all weekend and just watch some wrasslin. This is great. Gonna dig into some New Generation and WCW. Than get into the Invasion era - 2004 because thats when I didn't keep up as much, but the roster was stacked as fuck so I gotta get with it.
Attitude era is still fresh in my mind and I don't give a fuck about 2005-Current (Even though I started watching RAW again)
Than im gonna play some Fire Pro Returns lol

Watching Starrcade 1983. The way Harley Race delivers his promos is fantastic.
I keep missing the Goldust content that talks about his fight in the backlot. Does anyone by chance remember the name of the content this is part of? It appears that you can view past "live" shows but I can't seem to find it. I was watching it last night then my internet went out lol.

For some reason on PS 3 and 4 I couldn't select WrestleMania I through IV. Dunno if it was freezing up or if they were locked/not available or what.

Hmm. I definitely watched all of WM 4 on my PS3 last night. Seems to be working fine for me. Maybe delete the app and try reinstalling it?
Watching that nxt catch up thing atm and wow that 2/3 falls match was awesome. If nxt matches are this quality consistently then wwe network will be worth it for this alone. It was like jumping through a portal into wwe yesteryear when wrestling actually mattered! Great stuff.

Even if you come into it late, there's a start from beginning option.
NXT is mostly really good. Except when Alex Riley is on commentary.

A lot of people are going to be disappointed if they go in thinking NXT is full of those kind of matches every single show.
NXT is great and the in-ring stuff is always enjoyable but it's not always redlining.
Fixed that for you.
Ring of Honor gives it a run for it's money.
Was watching the rotation stream when the Royal Rumble 13 was on, just in time to see Cena win. Granted that lame was enough, but what happened afterwards has left me traumatized. Dude's almost to the entrance to the back area when he does one more stupid pose that has his whole ass jiggle. Turned it off right there. I'm struggling to keep my Publix Orange Glazed chicken down...

Same here. Kudos to WWE Network for fixing their issues so quickly. Now gimmie an interface on my PS4 that's as good as on my iPad and we're set.

Deleted, re-installed, same. I saw one other tweet from someone with the same issue -- can't select 1 through 4. Weird. I can watch it on my computer without issue though.
Edit: I see there's a support Twitter for this, and asked them. Thanks!
What do you mean?
No, not really.
Speaking of which, has wwe put up a time table on when we're to expect new ppvs to show up on demand? It'd be nice if they showed up before the next ppv streams on the network, but who knows if wwe is going to do that.
I mean i'd like to watch rr '14 before they stream their feb ppv just for the sake of being informed.

Do they have the 6 man Armageddon Hell in a Cell PPV? I haven't seen that in a long time.
Hotter match, hotter crowd, it all just makes him come across as so much of a bigger star.
Unscensored my ass!!!
It was probably cut from the tapes they got from WCW, not by them.
Yeah, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that crowds aren't THAT stupid. They knew how that night was going to pan out, which is why they hoped and prayed for Bryan to be in the Rumble.

They have all the PPVs, so I would imagine so.
Oh I know. A lot of the stuff that's edited was edited years ago for home video I just didn't think this made it to tape. WCW didn't last long after this PPV.
It was never seen on the pay per view. They missed it because they cut to a scene in the back to show a mystery man showing up.
They replayed it on the next night nitro multiple times the next day.
Lmao awesomeI will just leave this here.
Watching raw 279 and there's an owen heart match :/
Such a damned shame such an amazing career was cut so short.
Oh it was seen. I will never forget that. He comes off the top rope and snap, dangle, close up, hurry up pull back.
