They've now uploaded the 1997 episodes of WCW Monday Nitro up through the end of September '97.

This will be the thing that gets me to re-subscribe to the Network.

Yay for Nitro!

Also, yes, the buffering is ridiculous now. I worry Summerslam will be unwatchable.

since they started doing well earlier this year I've found that the streaming is bad on PS3/4 during primetime but pretty good on the PC all day long.

They definitely open up the pipeline somehow during PPVs.

First one to talk gets to stay on the aircraft!
So, is there any way to log out of all devices without having to physically log out on each and every one? Will changing the password work?

I can't for the life of me figure out how to sign up for this. I click on start free trial and it keeps taking me to this page:

http://www.wwe.com/wwenetwork

which has nothing that lets me sign up other than a button that says start free trial and takes me to the same page. Am I missing something obvious?

That's odd. Try signing up on the mobile website or through the WWE app and see if it still glitches out.

They've taken their time to get content on the Network, but it's slowly building up a great library.

It's hard to believe they have almost every Raw and Nitro through the WCW buy out now. that is kinda crazy. Raw is through '01 and Nitro is mid way through '99.

My hope is after that is done they move on to secondary shows. Give me more Smackdown and Saturday Night.

I like how I got tired of waiting for more Nitros to be added and started 1998 in my chronological viewings and then they started adding the Nitros I was coming up on. I'm pretty sure they're watching me... >_>

And heck yes, Saturday Night.

They've added new episodes of WCW Nitro, up until August 1999.

One episode that's a must-watch is 4/26/99, solely for Sting vs. DDP. One of the greatest matches in WCW Nitro history.

It's pretty amazing. I might actually subscribe at some point, now that the entire attitude era is up. When I have time.

My only request is old WWF Superstars and WCW Saturday Night.

Storylines from the 1980s and early 1990s are impossible to follow without these.

When I first tried the Network last year (started a trial to watch Wrestlemania) I was really bummed that ECW stuff only went through like 95. Cool to see they're up to 98, and working on the later stuff and TNN.

Lots of cool stuff. NXT has also gotten way better since then, I checked it out and was like "yeah it's cool but nothing great", and of course since then there's been Banks/Bayley, Asuka, the addition of Samoa Joe and all sorts of other excitement

Hopefully it's from 2005 on. I want to see the Orton/HHH feud, lead UPS to the PPV's.

Nope, They finished off 2002/2003, aka the random gm mode for the entire US wrestling boom period booking. The rosters on RAW and Smackdown are insane. Can't wait to get to this stuff.

At the rate they are going though they'll almost certainly finish off 2004 and most of 2005 this year if not more. There are still holes in Smackdown however, so I'll wait until that is done to get to this stuff. I got 1998-2000 anyways.

They also need to add the Rocks appearance on SD during June 2002. It skips like 3 Weeks of it and it goes straight to New Season when Steph takes over.

WWE issued a survey to former subscribers of the WWEs Network today asking them if they would reconsider subscribing again. One of the more interesting choices on the survey was the option to pay $12.99 a month and get the option of Raw and Smackdown replays 24 hours after they air on the USA Network. Currently, the episodes are added to the Network's VOD 30 days after they air. So, they are at least considering the change.

Go back a few more years and you can find Jerry Lawler calling Goldust a "flaming fag." They certainly did not give any fuck.

Would this fly now... Steph mac saying she has found suitable opponents for the rock called the twin towers and out walk two dwarfs to clown music.

with repeated jokes about it being the match being a tall order, searching high and low for it.

then discussing the types of matches such as a midget on a pole.

I have a question for those who have signed up for the Network when offered free months.

I received an email offer of 3 months free to come back. I signed up for this offer and was told I would not be charged until after the 3 months was over. However, not only was my card charged the $1 authorization, but was also charged the $9.99. Is this just a temporary charged or was I actually charged for the month already?

Just got a survey in email that discusses a "premium" tier for WWE Network... so I guess that's going up in price soon.

Asks about more premium offerings, access to Ring of Honor, NJPW and other regional promotions (TNA as well)... a new ECW of TV-14 show...Scripted shows, narration to PPV from WWE legends...

More choices are always good for the consumer. Some folks would have no interest in that indie crap, some would. Glad they may have an option!

I thought the bigger news there was the mention of acquiring TNA, ROH, and NJPW content. I was psyched to see that.

I still want old WWF Superstars :(
