For $3.95 a month, fans can watch a different selection of matches from the WWE, WCW, and ECW online, with the matches changing from month to month. Fans can also download individual matches for $1.49. For more information, go to http://www.wwe.com/ppv/jukebox/august/.

DDP & Jay Leno vs. Hogan & Bischoff
Road Wild 1998 | Approx. run time: 16min.
Jay Leno wrestling? That’s right, the new king of late night television teamed up with Diamond Dallas Page in August of 1998 to battle Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff. Can Leno actually wrestle? Find out for yourself.

YES!!!! YES!

Hell yeah.

What's the quality like? Is it all crappy so 56k people can get in on it too without waiting all year for a download? Also, can you not save it to your computer?

$3.95 a month to be able to watch any of those matches when you want to, and it changes on a monthly basis? I'll buy it. Not a bad deal at all.

As far as stream speed goes, I ordered a PPV awhile back and streamed it on my Cable connection. They offer a variety of connection speeds, up to a 300k stream. When I got the PPV I outputted it to my TV with a TV out card, and I think I had two times in 3 hours where the connection lagged for a second. It basically looked like I had ordered it off of cable, very impressed.
 
About damn time they put their library to use.

Weren't they trying to do an all wrestling channel at one point? Lord knows they have more than enough material.

I paid for the one month thing ($4) and it's great. I had forgotten how funny that Storm/Awesome match was.
