Re: WWE's Big Announcement

That's actually going to no longer be problem when this launches. Benoit will be able to be seen and mentioned on the Network, though there will be a disclaimer.

Thank goodness. He was on the 20th anniversary DVD, but they cut out all commentary about him and it was awkward to watch. It was like I was watching a program that they used WWF Attitude commentary clips as the audio.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

I imagine the 6th month commitment is so you don't just get it to watch a ppv then cancel it.

Yeah basically. 60 bucks minimum committment is basically saying "okay if you don't like it, we got what amounts to a PPV purchase out of you anyway."

I'm OK with that, especially since Wrestlemania in HD was $70 last year. Even if the network's a total dud, which I seriously doubt, I save $10 and get 5 free PPVs out of the deal.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

That Video On Demand section looked so damn nice. If it's like that on launch, look out.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

I wonder if they'll really have every PPV on there. I knew they were going to finally let up on the Benoit stuff with this, but I'll be absolutely shocked if Over the Edge is on there.

My thoughts exactly! I usually bought WrestleMania anyways, so it makes perfect sense. I watch a lot of the Wrestling 24/7 stream channel they have and have a bunch of years of RAW on my computer that I watch to help me relax and fall asleep. WWE Network can now take the place of that!

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

I also wonder if this means an uncensored version of One Night Stand?

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

So does this cause another wrestling boom?

No, the real question is:

Where is the XFL?

Pretty certain it will. When they were demonstrating the Video on Demand section, they have the content separated under different tabs. PPVs, In Ring shows, Originals and The Vault.

When they looked under PPVs and Royal Rumble, you could see every Rumble on the list. It was quick, but I saw all the way back to Royal Rumble 2001 at least on the screen. Pretty sure there were more after that, but like I said, it was quick.

Re: WWE's Big Announcement

They also mentioned the WWE Home Video Library...wonder how far this will go back?
