Here we are again. Hope we don't get the same problem.
They're in order on the Network. They're set newest first, but you can change it to oldest first.
Just subscribe to their Youtube page; they have clips of anything significant and basically tells you all you need to know. Otherwise you will just sit through three hours of them laughing at the diva's or midcarders and promoting the WWE App.
Eww raw is 3 hours now? Bleh...
Also goddamn the crowd was just to the point of total revolt by the end of this ppv, and I can kinda see why punk walked now >.>

Wow, I was very impressed with NXT Arrival. Solid card all the way. Cesaro/Zayn set the pace right from the get go. Paige vs Emma was very surprising to me. Amazing what happens when you give these women time and allow them to do moves that men do. One of the best diva matches I have seen in ages. The ladder match was very entertaining! So this is now going to be on every Thursday? Dixie Carter can't be feeling too great right now.
It's usually just an hour long show and is a lot more like old NWA studio shows. Characters are first and foremost, there are squash matches, jobbers, and more character work. It's really enjoyable. There is always a quality match every week.
Also I just tested out a theory with the on demand stuff based on that stuff that was posted earlier about the network being unable to bring in stuff that isn't in the recent cache. What I did was pulled no way out '06 into the queue and instead of constantly starting and restarting the feed until it popped up I set up a stopwatch on my pc and let it run while I faffed about for a bit. And surprisingly, after 10 mins and 39 secs it finally pulled NWO '06 up!
So yeah, anyone having issues with getting a specific old ppv to boot might instead of giving up just let it sit for a while until it pops up, and I mean a /long/ while >.>

Meh, it's network exclusive and therefore available on demand after it airs so I don't think she should be sweating too much, if anything it'll just ensure that those of us smart enough not to watch Impact won't be tempted to do so ever again
Cena only has one non crappy match per year and he already used it up against Cesaro. I don't expect much different then Cena eats a lot of offense, hits his 5MOD at some point, instant no sell and finisher when the ref gives him the go home signal.

Cena regularly has amazing matches. His booking and character are lame, but I don't get what you're talking about at all.
I wouldn't go as far to say he has regular amazing matches, but he does usually have 2-3 WWE MOTYC for 5-6 years running. He's obviously capable of much more than what he normally does, just like Hogan was, but once you get to his level there is really no reason to work as hard when you can get the same reactions for less. It's really more frustrating to know he can be so great, but only shows it a handful of times a year. He regularly has rote, by the numbers, ultra predictable matches. He occasionally has excellent matches where he more than holds his own and proves that he can go when he wants/needs to.

Trying to watch WrestleMania V, it keeps skipping ahead like 5 seconds every so often.
straight up I think the dude is concerned about how long his body will last
he seems to be getting more and more injury prone with age, I could see him trying to play it safe when he can.
I think it's that now, but it was more of the Hogan thing of "why try so hard when you don't have to" for years. He has nothing to prove. He's been the top guy for 9 years. And with that is no incentive to work hard because he's going to get reactions regardless. And he figured that out early on into his run.
Everyone needs to check out the main event of IN YOUR HOUSE 16 from July 1997, if you haven't already. It's in Calgary, and when the Hart Foundation comes out... possibly the loudest reaction I've ever heard for an entrance. Insane.
Even better... the Hart Foundation were heels at the time! lol

I have that PPV on DVD, it's one of the best WWE PPVs ever.
WWE should really be doing another live event before the HoF induction ceremony live stream. Needs to be tested for sure before Mania, when there are alot more users online than for NXT.
That said, just watch Arrival and it was a great showcase for these guys, bit surprised on Cesaro getting the win, but it made Zayn look like a million bucks. Honestly, right now they need to turn Cesaro and Zeb face, get rid of Swagger and add Zayn to that stable on WWE main. It would be insane to not integrate things happening on NXT with the main roster and keeping it seperate like before.
They can do something with Zeb realising this Arab Canadian is even better and the two best competitors in the US are foreigners, changing his tune a bit.

Also, give me AJ vs. Paige in a Submission Match, Paige adopting the Scorpion Cross against AJ's Black Widow, come on, that could be great.

Instead AJ will be written off of TV after dropping the belt to Eva Marie at Mania and Paige won't be called up until 2016, because WWE lol.
It still airs on Hulu, but on Fridays, and it still airs internationally on TV channels.
The PS4 interface is way different. They have it broken down by PPV name with each of the years that event occurred inside. Makes finding the correct order annoying as you have to compare dates in each PPV name.

And Roku only lets you sort by year and not by PPV name. It's odd how sorting works differently on every device.
I appreciate that WWE didn't take Benoit off of the program, but as I'm watching Hog Wild 96 and I see him come to the ring with Woman (and Miss Elizabeth) while hearing the commentary say stuff like "recently, he and Woman have not been seeing eye to eye."
...Literal chills go down my spine.

As someone who started watch wrestling in 1984, I thought this match would have been so amazing on paper. My biggest problem with the match was RVD. He spots seemed so slow and predictable. This could have been such an amazing match, but wasn't in the end.

Watching through 2003 PPVs cause I stopped watching it back then. This whole era is just gross - vulgar and sexist and stupidly violent and steroided-up meatheads galore...
And how the HELL did Cena ever get over as a "rapper"????

No idea, but he got super over in 2004/2005. His rippity raps were pretty much 100% gay jokes and telling people to suck his dick.

Yep, don't care how immature it is, it's better than Cena now.

The first time my wife saw me watching WWE she was like
WTF is this?
It was some sort of over sexualized Diva shenanigans. LOL. She's ok with it now.
But I will never forgot moments like these.
Diva Search promo Shoot! (for real watch this)
I'm cool with hooking my computer up to the TV but damn if I am not getting lazy and just watching it on the iPad.
Has there been any progress or announcement regarding the Xbox 360 app logon issues?
Has there been any word on when the iOS app is getting Chromecast?
Besides NXT ArRival I have mainly been watching NXT and Smackdown on Hulu. Glory be to Chromecast.

It's not missing, because it wasn't a PPV, it was a TV Taping.

Man these 90s Raws, early ones...so much fun.
I turned over to ECW when Gonzalez came out. Just became unwatchable with Wimpleman shouting.
As dumb as the content was, he was at least funny. I'm also in the "rap Cena was still better than GENEROFACE I LOVE ALL THE LITTLE JIMMYS SUPER CENA" camp.

He's horrible. Everyone winces. Horrid stuff. Just gibberish half the time. Idiot!
Dragon/Rey and Benoit/Malenko were pretty rad though.

Apparently more stuff will be going up next week, after the one week free trial period ends. Also, all SNME's and Clash of the Champions are coming soon.
Awesome news.

Ok, so Torrie Wilson just kissed Sable after a bikini contest. These poor women. Then immediately cut to recap footage from SmackDown of Roddy Piper ripping Zach Gowen's leg off, for fuck's sake, haha.
