This is my third time around having the Network. I'm enjoying it more this round and will probably keep it for awhile. My only gripe which is minor, I wish they would make it easier to find a select match on say a PPV or TV show. Fast forwarding and guessing where the match I want to see is a minor annoyance. Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to add a listing for each show where you can select the match you want to view. Maybe down the road.

What device are you using? On my Fire stick, most archived shows are indexed so you can skip to the beginning/end of matches.
Either my Roku or IPhone. Sometimes I'll use my computer at work to have it on as background noise. Unfortunately I can't watch it at work.

They still give away endings on the match index?

 

Yup. If I highlight the dots on the bar when looking through a show, it'll tell you who wins & how on every other dot. With the previous marker being the start of the match. I've noted this inconvenience before. I watch on my computer though, not any mobile device.

WWE 24 (WM31) and Ride Along (New Day and Dolph/Miz) were pretty solid.

I have watched the first episode of Ride Along yesterday and this were 20 minutes of my life that I will never get back. It is not as if it's horrible but it's just boring. The only interesting thing worth noting (at least to a European) was Kofi and Big E not using seat belts.

They have added a section called "Collections", which has the following:

 

TLC Tag Teams

Lesnar: Road to Undisputed Title

Best of Stone Cold v. Mr. McMahon

The Best of WWE Network

Celebrating Black History Month (different than last year's content)

The Greatest Matches Ever

 

Good use of the library, for the most part.

I grabbed a free month to watch the Rumble and have been enjoying showing my girlfriend some classic wrestlecrap. We've watched a couple of the Battle Bowls and the first World War 3, and the 99 Spring Break Nitro. Does anyone have any suggestions for god awful embarrassing shows that might be accessible to someone who is still relatively new to wrestling? I was thinking of some 2000 WCW but I feel like it all might be a bit too meta for her. That said, I'm up for whatever.

Any love for Legends with JBL? The most recent ones with Road Dogg and Ron Simmons were very good, even emotional at times. I'd almost go as far to say it's better than the Stone Cold Podcast.

 

Agreed. Easily the best show on the Network, especially now that Stone Cold is no longer live.

I haven't watched any JBL interview (yet), but wasn't the critic with the Bischoff interview that JBL was not prepared at all and therefore let Bischoff get away with a lot of shit?

 

I don't recall that being the case. JBL questioned Bischoff on a lot of things but gave him the freedom to tell his side of the story.

So from my experience of the 1 month trial period so far. WWE has compared the network the Netflix. It is like Netflix in that it is a streaming service. It is not like Netflix in that 1) it has ads, 2) it has frequent technical problems, 3) it cost more, 4) it has a limited enough selection that I can make my way through everything I want to see in a few days of being sick, and 5) the search feature is less than helpful.

#4 is inexcusable to me. They have mounds of TV and house show footagealready edited and remastered from 24/7, so there is no reason all that stuff shouldn't have been released within the first year, let alone getting slowly dragged out as it's been. NWA Classics is a good service, though, to fill that void of classics and newly discovered footage this service should have been. Only reason to subscribe to this is if you care to see the PPV's live.
