I'm pretty sure the Raw after WM was taped weeks in advance anyway, so the lack of Bret/Hogan/Yoko makes sense to not spoil WM for the crowd. Something of which WCW had zero problems doing when they'd have guys come out with titles they haven't even won yet and wouldn't win for like 2 months because they taped so far in advance.

I went to a Saturday Night Main Event taping in March the Tuesday after the first Nitro in Canada and it didn't air on TBS until May. Security took my

Sign. I also remember Raven being super over and they reshoot his entrance with his partners theme instead of his to quash the major pop he got.
For some reason thought the early Raws were live and then eventually went to a taped format.
Hahahahaha I know, right? The stiffest to work with since the Warrior, then gets massive main event status push towards the end of the WCW days. WTF...??
I present this as Exhibits A, B and C, Your Honor...
I think this is the way it should be, imo.
As in 2014? Is it posted now?
In other news: All weekend, streamed everything from the Live Feed to Archived stuff 100% NO ISSUES!!
Via PS4, Surface Pro (Win8 via IE) and Roku 2 HD.
Oh, and the Roku app is tits. Streams like Undertaker magic...whatever that means. :-D

Jimmy Snuka's promo with Tommy Dreamer in the earliest ECW Hardcore TV episode is weirdly great. He is so drugged out of his mind he can't decide whether he should look at Dreamer or the camera. Besides that it has a cool dynamic of young Dreamer having a dream come true while Snuka is insulted because he thinks Dreamer is calling him an old man.

He was so good.
Waiting in the corner until he lets go of the rope, falls down, and stops flopping.
On ps4 if you search for someone and play a clip you can't fast forward or rewind and it doesn't play the rating intro either. Also, now that I see how they are tagging the ppv's I can see why adding the back catalog of RAW/SMACKDOWN is going to take a while. They need to tag every show so you can skip around.

So who else got charged twice for the Network?
Damnit, this is why Vince is a billionaire!

I wish they wouldn't tag the results. That's just stupid.

Personally, I hate that choosing the beginning of a match tag has them all in the ring already way more. I want to see entrances dammit.
jesus christ they can't be serious with this shit

I can't remember good managers after the Hogan era outside of Hayman. Hayman is classic manager awesome.

I was watching IYH: Canadian Stampede and I'm left wondering, has there been other times where the heels became faces and the faces became heels for just one night due to the location of the show?
The only incident like this, beside CS, that I can think of was at the November to Remember 97, where Shane Douglas became a face for one night only because they were in his home town.
I'm not talking about heels getting cheered BTW, I'm talking about reworking an entire match where the heel acts like a face and vice versa.

Oh God. Money in the Bank has ruined WWE. Granted the match on it's own shouldn't have ruined anything but how they have booked all the winners has done WWE tons of harm.
They haven't used Wrestlemania to make a new star since Wrestlemania 21 with Batista and Cena and the MITB match first happened that mania. It wasn't so bad the first few where Edge, RVD, and Punk won them. Since them, every MITB winner has been made to look like the biggest most worthless pile of crap before winning the ladder match and then again after winning it. When they finally win the title, they have no credibility.
Remember when Edge pinned Noob Saibot at the same moment he tapped to the Crossface beating HHH for the World title, then beat HBK at the Royal Rumble?
He then won the MITB match and preceded to:
Beat Noob Saibot in a Last Man Standing match
Win the Gold Rush tournament
Won the Matt Hardy Feud
LOL Damien Sandow.
I agree. They need to tag it at the promo video or at the entrances for matches that lack those.

I dunno dude, Onoo was pretty useless. I remember ZERO promos from him, ZERO effect...just nothing.
Even worthless-ass Mr. Fuji at least has some memories. Onoo just made some ninja star with Bischoff and went into business with him.
I haven't seen any of his older work, but Zeb Colter/Dutch Mantel has been great in his current role.

Try the circle button?
I don't personally have a PS4 yet, but I know that when the app came out they had it set up like Japanese Playstation games which use the circle for "yes" inputs and the x for "no" instead of the conventional western way which is opposite. I thought this was going to be fixed in the last patch but never got firm confirmation of this.
Don't know if that's actually the problem you're having. Might be worth a try though, even though it's completely counterintuitive for a US Playstation app.
This is the answer. See rest of the thread for this same answer to same problem.
But isn't Main Event taped on Raw? or is it also segments from Smackdown?
Either way, its good that they get the bugs out of the way before mania. I was dying when the feed died/glitched out during ArRival.
Edit: Iv'e gotten 2 charges so far. 1 for a pending 9.99 payment and a new 9.99 payment. Hopefully one rolls over and I don't get another charge for April? :/

No. Superstars tapes before Raw. Main Event tapes before Smackdown.
Oh okay, Sorry for the mis-confusion. Let me get back to Indigo League on Netflix.

Wow.
I'm actually shocked by the transparency of this. I totally expected them to not remind people that they'd be charged.
Good move, Vince. This actually wasn't carny at all.

That's good to know, Pristine. Hopefully I'll be able to get to my account in time when I get home so I can cancel my subscription. I guess I can do it at work, but Iunno, I don't like accessing my e-mail at work. It's weird. I don't want to pay for six months of the WWE Network before they get stuff like Nitro's and Thunder's and content other than PPV's up, but on the flipside, if they did happen to charge me, I wouldn't even be mad.

That's actually pretty cool, almost every other company never reminds free trial signups, hoping they forget and end up in a full sub.
And just like now the crowd isn't as into it as they want them to be
You should be fine. Even though you cancelled the trial doesn't end until whatever set hour they have your 7 days set to end at.
