Got an email from them today....... This is the exact same shit that they have been spewing on Twitter for two weeks now. I had it set for no parental controls, I've set it for TV-14, I have cleared the cache on the X-Box, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, Nothing works. There are no WCW or ECW PPV's. Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble (and maybe more) only offer the last event. The live stream and the VOD lags behind and then runs in fast forward to catch up. The X-Box app is fucking broken, and my guess is they have no idea how to fix it yet, because they have been giving TONS of people on Twitter those same directions over and over again, and none of it works. Frustrating

Strangely, I can view all of the Royal Rumbles, but have not been able to view any Summer Slam or Wrestlemania's beyond the most recent year. I've had quite a go with Network Support on Twitter, and I have come to the conclusion that they have zero idea what is wrong with the app for X-Box. Here is a taste.....

The live event stream has been choppy off and on for me so far. Though I am not sure if that is the stream, or the fact that the Network is still pretty fucked up on X-Box 360

Well, the WWE Network is now working on X-Box 360.....kinda....... The live stream looks good, although lagged a bit during the Raw pre-show, but my guess is that is due to site traffic. I briefly streamed an episode of World Class, and it looked fine. I attempted to stream King of the Ring 1993 and I got booted from the app. I logged back in and attempted to watch an episode of ECW Hardcore TV, and there are no episodes to be found. Then I headed over to the PPV section and came to the realization that there are only WWE shows listed. WCW and ECW PPV.....nope, not on there. So I clicked on Elimination Chamber 2013 to check it out, and it loaded nicely, so I decided to try moving to a later point in the show, and unfortunately it looks like the little dots at the beginning and end of every match that are available on some shows, are not on the X-Box. I understand totally that they just got it working, but it certainly looks like they still have some work to do.

Watching King of the Ring 1993, and it reminded me.....man Mr. Hughes was horrible and boring.

I don't have an answer for you right now, but I am ring announcing a show that he is on later this month. I will try and pay close attention to his match and report back.

I am back on. If Vince thought Christian needed something covering his face, he's apparently not seen Bo Dallas.

Mine is frozen too.

That submission looked fantastic!

Oh no, 2 Cool......

Anyone else's picture quality declining?

It would certainly be nice if they'd release some kind of update on the issues with the X-Box 360. Haven't been able to get passed the log in screen since opening day. If this is going to be a long term thing, I'll just go buy a Roku. I am loving the stupid people losing their mind over it though. I saw a guy on Twitter trying to organize a class action lawsuit against WWE because the Network doesn't work on 360!

Opening match for the MSG show from 91 is Texas Tornado vs Big Bully Busick....not sure why I felt the need to share that, but I did!

I am still getting the incorrect email or password error. WWE has apparently acknowledged they are aware of the issue, and are supposedly working on it.

Fans are Yay'ing Del Rios punches, and Boo'ing Batista's. This return is going swimmingly. Also, Dave is blown up something fierce.

Sat at work all day reading about the issues people were having, only to come home and get totally signed up on the first attempt!! Then I logged onto 360, and found out that it's not working on there yet. Keeps telling me the user name or password are incorrect. This is apparently happening to most X-Box users. Oh well, it is working on my computer until they get it fixed. For some reason I decided to start with Bash 88 and the Triple Tower of Doom!!

Oversized hat....It's Funny!

He apparently closed it because he wanted to do a big long angle about closing the company. If there is anything more to it than that, no one is talking.

I was only half paying attention, but did I hear someone mention "With My Baby Tonight" while Road Dogg and the Uso were on commentary?

When I was a kid, my Dad ran his own business 60 hours a week, couple that with his two bad knees, and we never had a "let's go outside and play ball" kind of relationship. What we did have was a "you can stay up late on Monday nights with me, and we can watch some Prime Time Wrestling" kind of relationship. From there the addicition spiraled, and I picked up all of the weekend WWF jobber shows, and then one Saturday at 6:05 I saw a completely different kind of wrestling and started watching that two. Then everyday at 4 on ESPN was something else, and the addiction was growing. My mother hated it then, still hates it now. My Dad is hot and cold on the whole thing. Someone said earlier that the family thought it would be "a phase I would grow out of" and I think my family thought the same thing. In school, I definitely tried to keep it on the down low for a long time, mostly because of "that's all fake" or "that's gay." My closest friends new I liked it, and most of them enjoyed it to some degree or another. Then as I was getting ready to finish high school, the Attitude Era came along and now kids who had previously shown little to no interest were wearing Stone Cold and nWo shirts and it was cool. So, I started to wear my shirts to school, even getting in a little trouble for my EC F'N W shirt right before I graduated! I met my wife in high school, and fortunately for me, her little brother was a big wrestling fan, so she was used to it, and when I would go visit, I would watch with him or look at his wrestling figures, which I think helped endear me to the future in-laws! At most of my jobs I have been open about it if the subject came up, maybe not acknowledging the degree to which I am obsessed, but at least admitting to being a fan. Now that I am 35, married for 14 years, and not really giving a shit what people think anymore, I am totally honest about it. My Facebook page is full of pictures I've taken with wrestlers over the years. I wear the t-shirts I've picked up at indy shows in everyday life. Two years ago, I started doing some ring announcing for a local company, so that makes it pretty hard to hide when people see me in the ring, and I get tagged in Facebook pictures for that all the time. So yeah, I am pretty open about it. Am I gonna tell people I could buy a new car with what I've spent on wrestling dvd's.....probably not! But I am no longer ashamed to admit to being a fan.

I do believe that is the perfect answer to the question posed by the thread title, and my new favorite wrestling message board quote ever.

Did Hunter and Steph just steal Betty White's heat?

Is there anywhere this can be listened too without subscribing? or a transcript as was asked earlier?
