Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

Press release on all of the new Network shows and what they'll entail:

http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/96-wwe-news/41859-wwe-full-press-release-regarding-new-network-shows

I don't really care for any of the new shows they have coming out honestly, but the best news is that WWE Rivalries will continue! I actually really enjoyed that show.

WWE with TV-MA humor...you know it'll be a weird/messed up type of show. WWE superstars/divas as kids at summercamp....except the show isn't designed for kids lol.

Diva Search COULD be good,but since it's WWE, it'll probably be some random Americas Next Top Model type of cast where all but 1-2 of them have real wrestling experience,and majority of them just care about being on TV/getting publicity for a future modeling/acting career.

Jerry Springer one sounds like it could be good,but just think they'll probably be showing some of the most unwatchable clips in WWE/WCW history(like the "are you serious" youtube show WWE used to air)

Jerichos podcast show, doubt it'd be as good as Austins one,especially since now it's a WWE produced show,they'll probably stay away from specific topics even more.

Unfiltered sounds like a similar format as a show they have in Canada(Cabbie Presents) except it'll be with celebrities who are WWE fans,instead of big name pro athletes.

Culture Shock, just seems like something that would've been on WWEs youtube instead.

WWE The List sounds almost like WWE Countdown.

How convenient, WWE airing some Mayweather special on the network at end of April,just days before the big fight.

Uh oh. I binge watched the first season over like two days right when it came out. This is not what I need with a busy week of school.

I watched it after RAW on Monday and agree it's EXCELLENT. They kind of glossed over Savage's exile from WWE after Vince bought WCW out but it's understandable considering the huge internet rumor about it.

Agreed I did the same thing but worse...I was impatient and acquired Season 5 right after I watched Season 1 and watched that in less than a week...

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

I miss heel Jerry Lawler. Was watching an old Raw from '96 today and I forgot just how hard this dude went in on Jake The Snake about the drinking stuff at the time while Jake was doing commentary with he and Vince. Some absolute gold in there. It's hard to believe how far in the other direction he's gone between now and then.

Commentary in the WWE hasn't been the same since 2008 when they did the draft and kicked JR off Raw and moved Cole to SD. Ever since then,commentary has gone downhill.

King doesn't even watch any WWE program other than what he commentates for.And forgets the stuff he does see. Raw this past week,Byron is talking about what Paige did this time last year(her debut where she won the divas title) and King didn't even remember that....

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

King really just seems disinterested. I wish they'd go back to two man announce teams.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

King as the heel announcer was great, King as the "CHAMP IS HERE" announcer is just garbage. It doesn't fit his old in ring style and doesn't seem to fit his commentary style.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

I've been watching some early 90s WCW PPVs and Clash of the Champions. This is regarded as a horrible time period for the company, but man they were loaded with talent on the roster. Sting, Luger, Muta, Vader, Barry Windham, Pillman, Arn Anderson, Ron Simmons, Bobby Eaton, Nikita Koloff, Dustin Rhodes, The Steiners, The Freebirds, Cactus Jack, Stunning Steve Austin, Hall and Nash were all on the roster, and Steamboat and Rude aren't far away from joining. Granted, some of the guys like Hall and Nash didn't become stars until they left, but they had a ton of talent. It's too bad we ended up with things like the chamber of horrors and Bill Watts banning moves from the top rope

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

I have never seen them so desperate for subscribers. They made November free for new subscribers and gave Survivor Series away for FREE, they gave February FREE and now they are giving APRIL away for FREE.


Doing the free month thing, I get it. Especially now with so much content on there, I get it. Giving too many months free in such a short time period is so ridiculous. They need to take a page from Netflix. New subscribers at anytime get the first 30 days free as part of a free trial. Afterwards, they have to pay to keep using Netflix.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

April is free too?! Good job WWE, make people do bad on exams lol.
