WWE Network... It's Here

I don't know if anybody else seems to have the same problem that I have with Apple TV. When they upload any new shows, if they happened during a year that wasn't on the selection choices from the start, they don't seem to show up. I.e., I get all the WCCW no problem, but I can't get the 1999 roundtables, or the 1985 and 1986 Old School shows. However the 98 roudtables or 1991 Old School shows that have been added recently are showing up as soon as they are in.

 

Not a major problem for me though as I can use my iPad (which has got all the shows apparently) to sync the screen with Apple TV. But it's an odd one.

 

We have the same problem with the Roku. I know this stuff should get fixed, but it's annoying. I just wish their was communication like we are aware of this issue, this issue etc. instead of a total lack of communication. Maybe I'm expecting too much from them.

 

Same issue here (Roku). I had to watch the Texas episode of Legends of Wrestling (2009) by going through the Schedule section.

 

The problem with the years has been partly solved on the Apple TV. Some years show up/have been corrected (WCCW 1993, Old School 86) but several others still don't show up (Old School 1985, Roundtables 99).

There's a huge amount of Southwest floating around out there. Having looked at the listings they have enough to stuff to make a couple good DVDs, but I don't think there is really any market left for people buying old territory DVDs at $20 a pop.

The response I got was they were aware of the problem and hope to have it resolved by the time Elimination Chamber is uploaded . Of course they plugged Wrestlemania.

Flair was so frustrating to listen to on those Roundtable shows. I had to take my headphones off multiple times to avoid hearing him. It was a real weak panel overall with Tazz saying nothing and Foley seeming to not want to get into any arguments with Flair. I find my PS3 to be so much better than my Kindle for Network. PS3 has a much better App. Much easier to get around. More likely to have chapter breaks on shows. Kindle App could do a major upgrade. They both need the remember my last spot thing. I love that about Amazon Prime where it loads back up exactly where I left off. Have to think WWE will get around to that function eventually.

It does have the "resume" option on the roku app. But not on the desktop browser or the iPhone. I wish I could start something on my desktop during the day, and then transition to the same spot in the evening on my phone or roku.

 

That'll come. On the whole, this launch has been pretty smooth considering how many different platforms they launched it on. BeatsMusic crashed and burned really hard when it launched two months ago, and it's still not there yet based on what I read online. (I only lasted as long as mu free trial)

I dug the fact that the Backstabbers Countdown was totally kayfabed. I would disagree with the order of a few of the results. (Hogan joining The Outsiders needs to be #1 -- it's perhaps the most important moment in wrestling history. Okay, that's perhaps a strong statement. But it's more important than Marty and Shawn breaking up.

Whoa whoa whoa. Has anyone watched the Biggest Backstabs Countdown? There is a VERY surprising cameo on that one that makes me think they are going to be talking to just about ANYONE for the Network.

 

Is it Russo? I know he was a talking head on the top 100 RAW moments DVD.

I followed the steps WWE mailed out for people having xbox issues, and other than some occasional buffering it worked fine as I had it playing all last night. They were showing the Raw after KOR 1993 when Yokozuna won the title, and I lol'd at Vince saying that Hogan would be back challenging for the title soon. I wonder if the plan was for him to come back in a few months before WCW made their offer.

I haven't seen this yet, but it could be Schiavone. He's apparently been in Stamford recently.

WCW and ECW PPV's are under the Vault so that they are now viewable on the X-Box 360

 

Now they just have to fix the fact that only the most recent years are showing up for Wrestlemania, Summerslam, and multiple other WWE PPV's, and the intolerable slow down/catch up lag that anything streamed on the 360 is having.

Bodes well for 'Mania!!

So Dave has pretty much confirmed that the new library acquired is the WWC library. WWC need cash to survive and WWE have very little content in Spanish that would help them expand in Spanish speaking countries.

 

Now that being said can't see how would that be of of help when trying to push the network in a place like Mexico, Chile or Spain where there's no nostalgia value for anything other than WWE and that's already available in Spanish.

 

For those interested I guess it's time to download the entire WWC collections from youtube before they are taken down.

Watched the "Patriots" episode of Legends of Wrestling last night (had to access it through the Schedule section). My favorite roundtable so far! To an extent, it was the Sgt. Slaughter Show because the Sarge was on the panel, but that's understandable because he played a big role both as an American patriot and as an anti-American sympathizer of Iraq. I really wish this had been given another full hour, because a lot of the other patriotic acts were given short thrift (including, surprisingly enough, Hacksaw Jim Duggan) or not mentioned at all (The Patriot). Other than that, Sarge told some great stories, the clips were well-chosen and complemented the discussion perfectly for once, and even Michael P.S. Hayes dialed it down nicely. J.R. was also really great rattling off various historical facts. Turns out I wasn't burned out on the roundtables after all - the last couple of them have just been crap.
