    Re: WWE's Big Announcement

    Hopefully Canada will get this service within 3-4 months of the US launch. It sounds a lot more comprehensive and better than WWE 24/7 ever was.

      Im hearing and saw pictures that they gave out both Apple TV and Chromecast devices with the WWE Network logo on them, which I would assume means both will be supported in the future, if not at launch
      Fantastic!

        I wonder if future DVD releases will go up on demand right away or if there would be a period of time beforehand

          23. Will WWE Network be available internationally?
          Beginning Monday, February 24, WWE Network will only be available in the United States. WWE Network is scheduled to launch in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Nordics by the end of 2014/early 2015.

          Still won't do the trick for me, being European and all.
          That's not an insult, THAT is just a fact of life.

            I am 1000% sold on this in a big way, the VOD is a huge selling point, but ppvs and replays of the weekly shows that's a slam dunk

            the WWE network Facebook page already has 940,000 followers, if that means anything I think its gonna be a success

              I was wondering the same thing. They mentioned documentaries. I wondered if that meant like the docs like CM Punk's, etc.

                  Sorry, didn't look where you were. I was on my phone I think.

                  I would imagine Europe would get it at some point.

                    For those like me concerned about server stability.

                    According to Dave Meltzer
                    As noted, WWE is partnering with the company that streams Major League Baseball games online. Their facilities will give WWE access to the best technology available but it will be very expensive for WWE.
                    So my question for those of you who stream MLB games legally. Stable?

                      Same, this wait is killing me but the buzz this seems to be generating it's definitely working so far.

                      Feb 24 can't get here soon enough.

                      Do you think they'll wait a while before adding Elimination Chamber to the Network? Just thinking if they want people to buy it that's not going to happen if you wait a day and can watch it when the app goes live for $10 (well technically $60 but you still save $40 off EC) instead of $50.

                        Yes. When streaming from the laptop or PC I don't recall ever having any significant issues in several years of service. The apps for PS3 and my Android were a little more shaky to start (mainly in keeping a high quality stream), but ended up quite stable overall.

                          My cousin and I share a MLB.tv account. It's absolutely flawless. I've never had one glitch for any game while on my laptop and it's incredible quality video. The only issue with MLB.tv is when it's playoffs they can't use the TV video, so they have it only from certain angles, and on my iphone it's a little less clear, and I've had it freeze up once or twice. But watching tv games on my laptop, it's absolutely incredible. I have no doubts about the quality of the WWE Network's stability or clarity with MLB.tv partnered in.

                          Now granted the mad rush on the 24th may be an issue (I would think WWE has a strong, and now even stronger server), I don't expect it to crash or be slow. I'd think it'd be fine.

At only $10 a month, and what they could possibly offer as I put in a previous post, is quite the bargain.

                            Plus, the Legends House looks so dumb that it could be fun to watch for it's derp-ness, but it sucks no Iron Shiek.
                            Didn't they film the Legends House stuff over a year ago?

                              Yeah I have MLB.tv and I can confirm that it works perfectly and with phenomenal picture.

                                I'll get it, but I'll wait to judge how good it could be. It looks good on paper, but doesn't mean it will pan out in practice for a while. Yes, MLB.tv has been great, but it has also been running for over a decade. They've had yearly hiccups early in the season on devices outside of PC's, but they are usually resolved quickly.

                                Given that the WWE has no history yet with this, and I haven't really heard anything either way about their internet streaming history, I'm not sure what to expect yet in terms of quality and response to get quality up to par if necessary. However, since it has been years since I bought a PPV because $50+ for a PPV is outrageous given today's product, there is no reason not to try it. Would not shock me if prices creep up yearly though, much like MLB.TV. I remember when it was closer to $100; it was $135 last year for the premium package, and $140 next year wouldn't be a surprise.
