WWE Network

19th Jan

£9.99

[lharris92]

just saw that. probably had to push the price a bit up from $9.99 to £9.99 to appease sky a bit in a settlement or something. also in ireland its going to be €12.99

[luckysalt]

I wonder if they have had to pay sky a settlement fee and thats why they're charging more.

I doubt it will ever go down though.

I think I'll get it, yeah its more than US and more than I was wanting to pay, but if its no commitment I'll give it a shot

[lharris92]

to be honest its more than worth it if the live stream for ppv's is solid as that's cheaper than sky charges anyway*. plus all the added content.

*I'm aware the ppv's are often shit but hey we can watch the solid show that is known as nxt on it as well (don't have sky so bonus for me) (i hope)

NXT is no longer on sky whatsoever I believe as part of the new deal. Also Sky 1 no longer has Superstars, its all on Sky Sports only.

I've just seen the WWE Network UK will be the full US service and is non commitment, cancel anytime.

[CHRLY]

Anyone any clue what devices will be available? I have a virgin media TiVo box and I use the netflix app on there so hopefully there will be a similar set up for the network. If not I do have a PS3.

[Andre91]

I'll be getting it. £9.99 is nothing for what you're getting.

[When Jokers Attack]

I'll probably just keep on the US account as have no problems using it.

Finally getting a chance to watch NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 9 this afternoon. JR and Matt Striker on commentary and it's a stacked card as it's their Wrestlemania.

[A-Rob]

I remember in the 90s and even early noughties buying ppvs on VHS (Silver vision) for around £10-£12 each and I was still a student back then, it took a fortune to save up for ppv.

Now with £9.99 you get the live ppv's, weekly original programs and an access to all the ppvs. It's amazing how times change.

I don't think it will be on Virgin Tivo but all the other places Netflix is.

Its defo on PS3 and PS4

I watched a bit of it live, saw AJ's match and the IC match which was outstanding. But had to go out before the main event.

[CHRLY]

Ahh thanks luckysalt.

Also what's the deal with Raw and SmackDown? When do they get uploaded?

One of the best PPVs I've ever seen. That's me fully into NJPW now. I knew it would be a good show but didn't think it would be as good as that. The IC title match and Okada/Tanahashi were both 5 stars matches IMO. Was so great hearing JR calling the action again, sounded like he really had a blast. Striker did a brilliant job as well.

Give this one a watch guys

That match was insane just gave it a watch there. It was on another level. The moonsault out the ring was brilliant!

[Andre91]

Stephanie can't pull off "YOU'RE FIRED!" like her Daddy

[G-Stud]

Are the PPVs repeated on the network? Or is there a way you can watch them the day after they're aired? Thanks guys!

I'm sure they are available almost instantly after it airs.

Hmmm where they going with this

Thought Raw started well, and booked some good matches

Then they overbooked those matches, along with one of the crappest crowds ever, as the show went on the worse it got.

[G-Stud]

I'm sure they are available almost instantly after it airs.

So it's just on demand? Great! Thanks!

[CHRLY]

So Bray beat Dean clean, looks like that's over. No idea where they'll go with Dean now, he was the hottest thing on the roster post-summerslam but he's been booked like shit recently.

I'm quite happy that Seth's been added to the Championship match at Rumble, he could just be there to take a pin but it'll make the actual match better imo because Cena Vs Lesnar III is just a boring thought.

[Andre91]

The crowd was absolutely atrocious. A couple of thoughts; Dean Ambrose should come back with a slight character tweak, possibly more heelish or more like he was in The Shield before they started overplaying his 'unstable' side and making him goofy.

I have no idea where this firing angle is going at all, it seems very sudden. Whether they are back for the Rumble or not is the big question (personally, I think they will be). On another note, great job by JBL and Booker T on completely sh*ting on and burying The Ascension! What a great way to promote up and coming talent...

And finally, once again Roman Reigns was disappointing. From the horribly scripted 'Superman' promo (the content of which probably isn't his fault at all, but the deliver was poor again) to the awful match with The Big Slow AGAIN. I want Reigns to do well, but with performances like he has been giving since he returned, he just isn't suitable to be given the push as the next face of the company. Bryan* HAS to win the Royal Rumble.

*I also noticed how Daniel Bryan wasn't mentioned once during the show. Not a recap of his announcement last week or anything. Same old WWE. It baffles me how they don't want to push the biggest and most popular babyface they've had in a decade.

Pretty sure Sting is going to somehow be involved in the "firing" angle, would make sense as a continuation of the Survivor Series appearance, maybe have Sting head an NWO style faction with Ziggler and the rest... just a theory...

[Lithium05]

What would be good on the Bryan front, is if he and a few other mystery participants were already (kayfabe) iron clad "signed on" for the rumble before the authority came back into power, so even they don't know who will be appearing (Orton returning for one of the spots being one of them)

Not watched Raw but did The Authority even mention Sting?

[The Nal]

Yeah. HHH said "that face painted buffoon Sting" or something.

[When Jokers Attack]

Sting should of made an appearance or at least something should have happened - lights go out or a vignette to keep it interesting.

TNA is back tonight.
