From the latest trailer:

There is also a Total Divas icon. I don't think they mentioned that show being on there before.

 

[iMax]

It's not ideal. Why can't I spend my week trial on the PS4 dedicated app. It's a pointless limitation.

Exactly. That's why it's almost certainly untrue.

 

[Hasney]

It's not ideal. Why can't I spend my week trial on the PS4 dedicated app. It's a pointless limitation.

Signups are on wwe.com only. I can't see them restricting what you use to watch for the trial.

 

[iMax]

And that's that.

 

[Kaladin]

And that's that.

I think we knew this a few weeks ago, but as we've seen in this thread, people will continue to ask every basic question for all of the times.

 

[Ferny]

Or maybe that's the only place where you can sign up for the free trial. Then you're able to access it wherever the network is offered?

Even if this is not the case, you're trying way too hard. That's not a deal breaker.

I agree...so what if it's only on WWE.com? You'll know pretty quickly whether you want to continue with it or not.

 

[iMax]

Do we know anything more about the situation with ads on the network?

 

[Tragicomedy]

I think we knew this a few weeks ago, but as we've seen in this thread, people will continue to ask every basic question for all of the times.

That's what I was saying last page (50ppp). It's very old news that you won't be charged $60 up front.

As for me, last time I watched wrestling was 1999...and yet, this interests me. Free week trial, for sure.

 

[Kaladin]

Do we know anything more about the situation with ads on the network?

They've said that most content will be ad free but some content will have ads in them. I take that as meaning that they won't add any ads to the show on the Network side, but some of their programs have their own ads produced in the show as part of the program. Like when they had Rey Mysterio do a supersoaker spot on Summerslam and things of that nature. Or Jim Ross saying Raw has been brought to you by Skittles, fruity, fruity, fruity Skittles.....those things are in and could be seen as ads by some people.

Oh, that's cool. I just don't want to watch adverts before buffering like on WWE.com right now.

 

[Kaladin]

I could be wrong, but that is what I gather from what they have said so far.

 

[Uno Venova]

Being only on the website would be terrible, comfy couch only.

I think it was stated before that they would put Total Divas on the Network.

 

[daevv]

Any idea/rumors when the network hits Canada?

 

[Aiii]

Any idea/rumors when the network hits Canada?

Early 2015.

 

[Pavaloo]

That's such bullshit.

 

[NoTacos]

How will the billing work for the first 6 months? Do they charge $60 all at once or $10 a month for 6 months even if you cancel before the commitment?

 

[RkOwnage]

How will the billing work for the first 6 months? Do they charge $60 all at once or $10 a month for 6 months even if you cancel before the commitment?

really? It's like at the top of the page. 9.99 a month, 6 month commitment, it's likely if you cancel before the 6 months, they'll still charge you the total $60.

Edit: Wasn't clear, but yes, 9.99 a month, not $60 up front.

 

[Bboy AJ]

You could read the page you posted on, at least.

 

[HT UK]

Got the app installed on my PS4 via my US PSN account, just incase that happens to work.

Backup plan is VPN on the PC

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Got the app installed on PS4, is there a way to sign up early so I can bask in Vince's goodness that is the Network?

 

[strobogo]

Nope. 9 AM EST tomorrow.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to find out if and how it works for those outside the US

 

[Kaladin]

15 hours and 30 minutes......hype.

It would be a mistake for them to not run the clock the entire PPV tonight....but of course, they probably won't.

I haven't been this excited for something wrestling related since the first ECW One Night Stand.....that is how hype I am right now.....or maybe even the first time I watched Ring of Honor.....that's how excited I am for this Network launch.

 

[zychi]

Will this work like Netflix and I would be able to use the account at the same time as my friend?

 

[Vylash]

Up to 2 people can use one account

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[hiroshawn]

They got me. I'm definitely signing up for this. Time to finally watch WCW and see what the fuss was about.

Are you 12? You never watched WcW?

 

[Uno Venova]

Are you 12? You never watched WcW?

I never have either besides clips on youtube, it was hard to find full episodes online compared to AE Raw.

 

[serenewarfare]

Are you 12? You never watched WcW?

I'm 19 and never watched WCW. Didn't get into wrestling until the mid-2000's and had no desire to watch crappy YouTube rips.

 

[Vylash]

Are you 12? You never watched WcW?

I've never seen it either, I didn't even know it existed when I got into wrestling

 

[ggnoobIGN]

WCW was such shit even when it was "good". Save your time

 

[Penguin]

24/7 of the best of JBL!

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Man, to be a wrestling fan now and start to get into WCW. I find that... really... exciting and terrifying. Update us on your travels!

 

[strobogo]

WCW was such shit even when it was "good". Save your time

Storywise, WCW usually sucked. Wrestling wise, from 1991-1994 and 1996-Spring of 1999, it blew WWE out of the water. But when it was bad, it was truly awful.

 

[adj_noun]

I've never seen it either, I didn't even know it existed when I got into wrestling

I feel so old.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

WCW was such shit even when it was "good". Save your time

I disagree. WCW in 1996/1997 when the nWo was starting and Sting turns all weird is some amazingly-booked wrestling. It flies completely out of control in 1998, however.

 

[Uno Venova]

So 1996 would be a good start year for WCW?

 

[Mr. Luchador]

So 1996 would be a good start year for WCW?

Start with the first Nitro! I'm not saying WCW sort of reboots with the first Nitro, but, well, it sort of reboots!

 

[sega4ever]

So 1996 would be a good start year for WCW?

yes

 

[strobogo]

So 1996 would be a good start year for WCW?

PPV wise, I would watch the 1991-1992 stuff first. So many good matches with Austin, Barry Windham, Brian Pillman, Dustin Rhodes, prime Vader, arguably prime Sting, Rick Rude, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton. Great wrestling, though much different than the great wrestling in 1996-1998.

 

[Penguin]

I don't know if it was here or Twitter, but weren't there plans to do a Beginner's Guide to Pro-Wrestling highlighting perhaps the best PPVs for each company to check-out

Shows worth watching, etc

 

[Uno Venova]

I'll probably start a few months before 1996, see it come into it's 'golden age'.

I don't know if it was here or Twitter, but weren't there plans to do a Beginner's Guide to Pro-Wrestling highlighting perhaps the best PPVs for each company to check-out

Shows worth watching, etc

That sounds real good.

 

[strobogo]

I'll do it

 

[Jarrod38]

So who is going to be the first person to die from binge watching all the PPVs?

[Arrowgigantic]

Speaking of how "awesome" WCW was, Fall Brawl 1993 is the PPV where the Shockmaster main evented. He wins the match for his team with a bear hug.

 

[Kaladin]

You're going to be so mesmerized by the WWE Network, that you will not be able to take the garbage out, rats will move into your home and the Government will be forced to come in and condemn it.

That was pretty cringeworthy.

 

[Downhome]

When will the WWE app update be up to add the network as a feature?
