WWE Network

Should do better than The WBF, XFL, Tout etc.

Hopefully the shows aren't edited too much (music, commentary etc).

I heard that only music may be edited due to licencing restrictions. Everything else will be unedited

Awww damn, that's one thing that annoys me about the DVD versions of old events, when the likes of Demolition just get some crappy generic rock theme instead of their awesome theme that I loved from back in the day. Really gives the nostalgia buzz a bit of a hit.

But anywho, I'll probably get in on this for the historical content alone, and being able to watch all the current PPV's live (current TV provider doesn't do them) without being a dodgy choppy stream is bonus.

I would hope the subscription is cheap 'cos my internet bill would be where the real money skyrockets, haha.


I haven't read the nitty gritty details of how access to this will work - will there be the possibility to have one subscription but having multiple people (e.g. share password with friends) using it? I'm sure they'd have looked into measures to prevent that, but if I can split a subscription with a mate then I'd probably go that route.

And i'm on. Used Hola to access it, i don't think you need it.

Used my name and address for over here, just changed the state to Cali and the zip to 90210 because i'm a lazy merkin. Turned off Hola to watch, and it works beautifully. Gorgeous quality, about to watch WM X7.

I'll keep checking the shit out and updating and such. Works out to $11.54 aud, paid with paypal. Not entirely sure it will work using a credit card, although it is entirely possible it might.

Bad News Barrett told me I'd go homeless because I'd be too busy watching all the great content on the WWE network that I'd lose my job, so I'm now kind of hesitant to try it.

BnB is badass. He's right though, I can see myself losing many hours to this.

Minutes after I posted everything went to shit, thought it was gonna go full Sim city for a bit there. Seemed to have lucked out though, working pretty well now. Watching angle and Benoit ATM, didn't get the warning they were talking about. Not phased though.

 

[Bulldog Force]

I don't even really watch raw or smackdown - if something really interesting happens, WWE's youtube channel most likely has it.

 

[ek999]

Any idea if this is select content or if it is every raw and smackdown? I would love to be able to go back and watch every raw is war during the attitude era (and monday nitro as well)

At least for the moment it is a best of according to the PS3 store. Not sure whether that would change.

Hopefully Unblock-Us adds support for the WWE website too then as I may be interested. Hopefully Australian sports will get in on the act soon.

Got it working through Unblock Us last night... Seems like there isn't a lot of content just yet but that may be thanks to Apple TV... Unfortunately I can't set up the VPN on my iPad...

 

[ek999]

You can use Unblock-Us on your iPad too if you are on a WiFi network. Just need to change the DNS Servers to theirs

What are the usage rates like on this? As long as it's cheaper than the PPVs are over Foxtel (which it should be) I'll definitely be signing up, but depending on how much of my cap it uses I may only use it for the PPVs, and the odd old show here or there.
