Here's my Wishlist:

- Watchlist/Queue
- Match listings for every event/show.
- Chapters so that you can jump ahead if a match sucks.
- Remember my place across multiple devices. So if I watch half a show on one device, I can resume it on another.
- Stars section, so that I can browse by wrestler. Wouldn't have to be every appearance. Just major matches and career highlights.

Off the top of my head all I want is more content.

1. "Prime Time Wrestling" shows
2. "Saturday Night Main Event" shows
3. Some of the Diva videos/shoots from the 90s.
4. "WCW Clash of the Champion" shows

A section for newly-added content. Some of the older stuff has been added, and its hard to remember what I've already watched.

In addition to some of the above mentioned improvements, I wouldnt mind there being "Most watched video in the last week" type of lists

Its been working great on my PS3

I can watch Royal Rumble 2014 on my Kindle/Iphone/PC but cannot find it on Roku. Also only one of the Maple Leaf Garden shows are on the Roku but their are 2 different shows on my Iphone/Kindle/PC.

FYI- I have heard that if you plan on having a Mania party with several people over, it might be best to purchase it regularly. They would like for the app to work, but they cannot guarantee it for live PPVs just yet. If the NXT was any indicator, they have some kinks to iron out in the coming month.
Nothing major if you plan on watching it alone, but not worth the risk of having it crap out when many people are at your home and might start looking at you if everything freezes or goes blank.

It's under Shows > WWE NXT. It's the 5th episode (NXT ArRIVAL).

Well it's Monday and still not able to log in on the 360. I have faith that they'll get it working but frustrating paying for something that isn't fully functional.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 
Plan on watching the available PPVs in chronological order as I didn't start watching until the end of 1998. Some stuff I've seen already (Wrestlemania DVDs/Best Of's/Specific wrestler DVDs mainly) but not so much the other stuff. Especially WCW/ECW.

Halfway through Starrcade 83 now. Due to the Flair DVD, I've seen the main event but the rest of the card has been pretty entertaining. Orton/Slater vs. Youngblood/McDaniel was very entertaining I thought.

I've just been Wikiing the history to the matches so I have an idea of the feuds. Hopefully by the time I get to mid-late WCW/WWE/ECW, a good chunk of their weekly shows will be on there.

I know there's probably some clunker PPVs on the horizon but should be interesting to see the progression of the business in regards to production/wrestlers/wrestling style etc.

Been watching on Ipad/phone but apparently the 360 issue is finally fixed so it should be nice to watch it on a TV now.

Are some of these Old School Cards being condensed to fit an hour format?

Hailey G 03-04-14 07:13 AM

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 
I know some of the WCW PPV's that are airing are the condensed for home video versions instead of the original broadcast.

JCWBobC 03-04-14 07:17 AM

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 
I read there was a new XBox update released so you should check for that to see if it solves your problem.

The Starrcade 1986 that is up is the 4 hour version that is an hour longer than the Turner Home Video version. I haven't checked out the other ones yet so I don't know which ones are shorter versions. The Old School cards have definitely been cut down.

Which WCW PPVs are condensed? I haven't seen any examples of this yet.

I haven't watched them myself, I saw it reported somewhere. If I can find it again I'll let you know.

I haven't gotten the network yet but I was actually there for that one and I remember it being almost four and a half hours so taking out the intermission that sounds like it's probably the entire card.

No Chi-Town Heat (Starcade 87) was up last time I checked and that was my favorite Starcade so that was kind of disappointing.

JCWBobC 03-04-14 01:30 PM

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 
Starrcade 87 is on the Network and it looks like it might be the PPV version but I would need to check my DVD to see.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 
Something to ask you streamers ... any chance they have ECW (the real ECW - Heyman style not the WWE ECW we got a while back) shows and weekly broadcasts?

Would love to see those show in some sort of chronological order

Thanks...I saw it on my phone when I first signed up but didn't see it on my computer on Friday morning.

Edit: Nope, not there. Skips from Starrcade 86 to Bunkhous Stampede 88

They have a few shows from 1993 on there at the moment. They appear to be going up in chronological order as well.

Excellent that might just get me to sign up, that and the old NWA (Crockett) days with the 4 Horsemen, Dusty, Road Warriors etc.

I've been checking some of those out. It's still pre "extreme" ECW, so it may look very different with what you think ECW being about. But it's a fascinating transition ECW would make between 1993 and 1995. The ep I just watched had a heel Superfly Snuka brutalizing a baby-faced Tommy Dreamer, not looking like such an innovator of violence in his green suspenders :)

I'm watching Starrcade 87 on my Kindle and on my PC right now so it is definitely there but if you click on WCW PPVs it isn't listed under All. You need to click on the year and select 1987 or click on Starrcade, where they have all the PPV titles you can pick from, and then it will show up.

I think different things show up on different devices. It's not on the iPhone app.

Hell I can't find any non WWE PPV's on the 360.

JCWBobC 03-04-14 06:35 PM

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 
If you go into the WWE App on your Iphone you click on the 3 bars in the top left corner-then click on WWE Network. Click on All PPV's-then WCW-then at the top it says All Years and All WCW. Click on All Years and you can select the year you want. If you select 1987 and then click on Done the only PPV the comes up is Starrcade 87. Hope this helps you find it.

If you just click on WCW Starrcade 87 isn't listed at all but if you check by year or by name it is there.

What is going on with the WWE Network this morning? The web site won't load on my PC, my Roku's say I'm not a subscriber, and my Iphones/Kindle's say "invalid app account/partner".

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 
The Mania Rewind about Hulk and Andre was pretty good. However, I know they edited some comments of some the wrestlers. Ricky Steamboat spoke of how everyone was buying a ticket to see Hogan and Andre and how they sold the show. I remember a bit of the same interview where added "but we thought we would steal the show," referring to his classic match with Randy Savage.

Why would they have him talking about stealing the show when the episode was supposed to be about Hogan and Andre? Of course it was edited, it's a documentary.

They will probably have an episode devoted to that match as well down the road.

They only had two WWE documentaries up until today. Bret/Shawn and Steve Austin which was added last weekend. When I came home from work today they added the Rock documentary. I watched half of it but had to run out. Just logged in to finish it and the entire thing is gone now.

It'll be back on Saturday, as they've been advertising it on the network all week.

I understand the need for that need. I was merely stating that I recognized the interview footage from somewhere else.

An Old School show for Boston Garden was listed on their programming and now it's gone. Don't know what's going on. It would be nice too know when new programming will appear.

You can look at the schedule and see a few days in advance, but that's a lengthy process. We can assume that once it's aired on the network, it'll be available for streaming.

But for the shows that they mass-upload - that would absolutely be great to know when it's coming.

n00b question, but is NXT a weekly show on the network now? I was really impressed with Arrival last week and want to watch more.

Yes. The next episode airs at 9PM tonight.
