Re: WWE's Big Announcement

I'll be starting from the oldest available TV show/PPV and go in chronological order from there.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

I'll start watching from the first RAW of 1997.

*shudders* I tried that before. It's pretty awful early on in that year. I started in mid-97 before and it's good from there. No pain, no gain, though!

As far as the two login things working. Good luck. It's built on the MLB.TV hierarchy and unless things have changed with MLB.TV they let you know someone is already using the account as soon as that 2nd person tries to watch a game. At least that's how it was in 2011 when I had a subscription.

Never had this problem and I've had it for years. My girlfriend and I have watched in 2 different parts of the country on a single account and never a problem. NHL Gamecenter was pickier about it, but even that was only an issue if you were changing games while someone else is watching. MLB says they'll block you if you abuse it, but they don't really go out of their way to prevent it.

I do hope they have episodes of Nitro and Thunder part of the VOD either now or down the road

Is this really relevant? I'm sure any limitations would be dictated by the content provider, not the distribution system. It would be stupid of the MLBAM team to not have their systems flexible for whatever partnership they join into.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

That would actually be a good poll 'Where are you going to start?' I started streaming all the old Raws from 1996 on but I didn't make it too far. I would like to watch it in order and with this, its definitely possible. I wish I was watching the WWE network right now.

Can you imagine if Fox or CBS or NBC had ALL episodes of all of their shows to watch anytime you want. WWE might be changing the way you watch TV forever.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

Found this little nugget of info:

When the WWE Network launches, only about 1.5% of WWE’s total video library will be accessible. It’s said that very little of the content will be old territorial footage. While WWE will add new content weekly, they will also remove content from time to time.

That's from wrestling observer, I'm guessing this means the network will most likely focus on WWE, WCW and ECW, I wonder if this could be a deal breaker for some

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

Are we even sure that every RAW is available? The only thing I have read is that it will have REPLAYS of Raw and Smackdown which to me would mean more recent shows...

Meh, that could be a deal breaker to me....It depends on how much WCW they have though and how far back in WWE they go.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

Yeah, I don't think we're getting the complete archive of Raw and Nitro right away.

What I could see them doing is making episodes available after their Monday Night Wars show addresses them.

It was stated every WCW PPV would be available on demand, I wonder if they will have the wcw TV shows from when they were tied to the nwa when the horsemen and dusty were big or if that's considered a territory

I'd be happy if they could get wcw and WWE TV archive up at some point

Figured it would be a low number to start. I'd imagine the TV show archives will be rolled out slowly. I just hope the PPV archive is robust.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

im not tripping over the news. they have to make sure this Network starts off as smooth as possible. i think its safe to say u gonna have at least half a million people or so possibly signing up from the jump and thats including the people that will just use the First week Free preview. them servers will be getting hammered. any type of major problems and people will abandon ship in a hurry.

probably better to start off small to make sure everything runs good then add to the library on a weekly basis or something like that.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

Here's an update I posted a couple days ago about the networks content, source is from f4wonline:

We noted earlier this weekend that very little of the content on the WWE Network will be old territorial footage and while WWE will add new content weekly, they will also be removing content from time to time.
It's being said that there will be 5-10 hours per week of material that's put up and taken down that doesn't fit into the parameters of every DVD release and all the pay-per-views. There will be very little content from the defunct 1980's promotions. There will be some 80's content but the concentration will be the 90's and 00's, WWE, WCW and ECW.

I'm guessing the 80s content will most likely be ppvs and any footage from their documentaries

Kind of a bummer I was hoping for some late 80s WWE and WCW TV shows, and this pretty much confirmed my assumption no AWA or WCCW

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

I heard all PPVs from WWE, WCW and ECW will be available upon launch.
