Why aren't the Crockett Cup's available on the WCW PPV's? They just added all of the Clash of the Champions but those were on free TV.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

The Crockett Cups were more glorified house shows than PPV event. They were taped but more for highlights than as an actual 3-4 hour PPV. The VHS shows that exist are SEVERELY edited versions of the tournament which makes me question if any of the tournaments exist in full at all.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

The first Crockett cup ran over 2 days and was never released on Turner Home Video, that I have ever seen, but they did advertise it on the Saturday night show. I remember calling to order it but I didn't have a credit card or checking account yet. The others never aired on TV, except for random clips, and were only released on Turner Home Video.

They did say that every thing in the WWE vault would be on the network so they should show up.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Has anyone had a difference in streaming between their PC, and game console? On the mac, it pauses, blips, and fezzes momentarily. Once it went for. Full screen to the reduced video screen for no reason at all. I turned the PC off and put the network on my PS3 and it's fine.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Whenever I download this app on my Xbox One, all I get is a blank red screen when I open the program. Anyone else having this issue...or have a solution? Yes, I've uninstalled and re-installed several times with no luck.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

When are they going too start showing all the SNME's?

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I think I won't be renewing my subscription when it expires next month. It's nice to watch the old PPV but is not enough for me. I think I'll re-sign when they add old episodes of Raw and Smackdown.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

WWE Network app for Fire TV is out now

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Yep. It's a little buggy (sometimes you need to reload a video twice). But the interface is smooth & most importantly, it saves your place automatically when you watch something.

Its funny, I have almost no interest in watching new matches, but those legend roundtables and career retrospectives on guys from the 70-90s are fantastic.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Don't they add new (old) RAWs every week? I guess if you're waiting for a particular era, I can see why it might be tough to wait, but old RAWs are the one thing in their vault that they're consistent with. At the rate they're going, they'll be up to the Monday Night Wars within the next month or two.

I imagine that there will be an influx of new content in September to entice all of the original subscribers to re-up. Personally, I'm hoping for the old Saturday night World Championship Wrestling tv shows. When I had WWE 24/7 way back in it's early days, that was the one thing that I always made sure to watch each week.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I didn't even know they did that. Were can I find the old episodes? I watch it on my Apple TV.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I don't have Apple TV, so I don't know if it's different, but on the website they're in "In Ring" section under "Raw Replays." From there you can select what year you want. Everything from the first episode up until 2/6/95 is available. There's also select episodes available from pretty most years up until 2012. Starting from 2012 they have every episode (I think). Same is true of Smackdown. Select episodes from past years and everything from 2012 on.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Thank you! I guess I better start looking at it before it expires...

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I posted about this in the wrestling thread, but it also should be here:

Saturday Night's Main Event is expected to be added to WWE Network next week.

Also, The Monday Night War is debuting on the network on Monday at 11 (in place of RAW Backstage Pass). It will then move to a regular timeslot (not yet known when).

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

There's 13 episodes available now. The dates run from May 1985 to November 1987.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Awesome that SNME and The Monday Night War have finally started showing up. :up:

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I just got an email that they're doing a free trial all this week that doesn't require any credit card information. Must be getting desperate.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Is Monday Night War when they combine RAW and Nitro on the same program? At least that's what it was with WWE 24/7. Don't know when it started or stopped.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

No, this is a new series that will cover the war in a more documentary style, with interviews and such.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

I would like too see one hour documentaries on most(if not all) of all the wrestlers in the WWE HOF,either that or have an hour show of matches(squash matches much appreciated). It would be interesting if they have an hour of footage on Bobo Brazil.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I can't wait to dig through the SNMEs. There is a Brain Busters vs. Rockers 2 out of 3 fall match that was a childhood favorite of mine. Andre & Warrior, and Roberts & Savage are two others I want to see again.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Do a lot of the videos not stay full screen on laptops? I was playing around yesterday and today and anything, except an old raw episode, that I opened to full screen would close back to the site window when I tried doing anything else.

Of course it could just be a senior moment for me.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I went ahead and signed up for the free trial, I just wanted to see what its like. All of the late 90s pay per views are great, but I though they would have up all the old Raw and Smackdown episodes, so far I haven't found any.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Shows > In-Ring > RAW REplays.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

^^^Thanks, I figured it out right before you posted it. I spent some of my day off watch it, and enjoyed all the old raw and smackdown episodes. But I wish they had more of them up, and not just a few. Is it really necessary to carry a disclaimer and a 'Viewer Discretion Advised' warning label on any thing form the attitude era. The WWE had no problem with it in the 90s, but now they are running away from it. Also does the Royal Rumble 99 really need a TV-MA rating attached to it. I know its because of the Rock-Mankind 'I quit' Match, but its not that bad.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

When are they going to have some old NWA or Georgia Championship Wrestling TV? I'd like to see some old Buzz Sawyer or Tommy Rich footage.

Also does WWE own the Smokey Mountain library?

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

They do.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Don't they have to convert everything to HD before showing it on their Network? They have been very slow lately adding anything new to the Vault(except for SNME).

Is there a list somewhere of pro wrestling footage that the WWE doesn't own?

YouTube has a lot of the old wrestling shows.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

All their old footage was shot on video, it can't really be converted to HD.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Tell that too the NFL Network who have been showing old Super Bowl games that were shot on video tape and they are in HD or why would they be showing the games with all the sides boxed in?

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I don't know what NFL Network is doing, but you can't add definition that isn't there in the original image.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, pretty sure that NFL films shoots important games on film. You could get an HD image from that source.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I watch the NFL Network on a SD TV and the old Super Bowl games were totally boxed in which more than likely means its been converted to HD.
I'm sure they aren't going to be showing a game like that if it wasn't HD.

Every game since around 1963 has been filmed by NFL Films. Not sure about the AFL . I miss the days of the NFL Game of the Week which was all on film.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

If it's video from the original broadcast, it's literally impossible for it to be HD. If it's converted from NFL films, then it could be.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

It was the original NBC broadcast from 1979. I've also got NFL Network HD ,but really haven't watched it yet. I will try to see if one of those games are coming up in the near future.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I think the only stuff they have that is in great condition NWA-wise pre-WCW Crockett are the Mid-Atlantic and Florida territories. Anytime they show Georgia footage, it's clearly 3rd-4th generation VHS dubs they got from someone else.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I just got an email offering me a $25 WWEShop Gift Card for signing up to WWE Network.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

I don't really like how they seem to be handling renewals. It seems there isn't an option to just sign up for another 6 months. I have to change my billing preferences to automatic renewal, leave it like that through the termination date (August 27), and remember to change my preferences back after that.

I know it's not that hard. But it seems like an unneeded extra step, designed to get people to switch to auto-renewal hoping they'll forget about it and get later charged when they don't want to.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Posted in the main wrestling thread but I'll add this here:

"Nearly 700,000 subscribers."

http://variety.com/2014/biz/news/wwe...rs-1201272606/

With all the hotshotting, they've added 30,000 subscribers since wrestlemania. Article also states they are about to do the international roll out, with countries like Canada, Mexico, and Australia, but no uk. Interesting to see how many they get there.

Also interesting to see how many drop the network next month.

And you can now sign up a la carte for $20 per month.

I'm definitely sticking with it for another 6 months, but I'll leave the next decision up to how I feel their direction is going at that time.

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

Will you still be able to be charged 9.99 monthly (for another 6 months) or will you have to pay all the money up front?

Re: The Official WWE Network Thread
 

It seems that is still the standard, now you also have the option to pay all at once, which doesn't seem to have much benefit.

$9.99 per month with a 6 month commitment

$20 for 1 month access

$60 for 6 month access
