Jas Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 So in the last few weeks I've noticed there's been more and more news filtering through on this WWE Network that's planned to be launched by the end of 2012 - so the question is would you be willing to subscribe to it and how much would you pay - IF it ever reaches these shores.

Paid Members neil's bitch Posted September 29, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 29, 2011 If it end up on sky and its cheap, i would love to have it to be honest. I mostly had sky sports just for WWE, and thats really expensive for all the channels (you had to have them all due to WWE being on different channels at odd times). Â Plus With the likes of new programming and most likely WCW nitro at some point, it would indeed be awesome! Â Bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 The good thing is their library is absolutely MASSIVE so there'll always be new things to view and to revisit old ECW hardcore tv and supershows uncensored etc along classic pay per views from WWE/F, WCW & ECW I don't think I'll ever leave my sofa.

KingOfMetal Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 They won't be showing stuff uncensored in the PG-era. Last I heard about the network was they were considering a cooking show featuring Big Show and his wife. If your think all their going to be doing is showing the tape library, your very much mistaken. Expect endless repeats of The Chaperone, Thats What I Am and whatever other WWE Films have come out recently, and other naff shows with the occasional repeat airing of Raw/Smackdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_kahoona Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 McMahon sure wants to be taken seriously as a `real` business man! Â trying to outdo Ted turner is one thing but ACTUALLY trying to out do Ted turner is another. Â I just wanna see `WWE News` that would be a great watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im 26 who can just about remember WWF from the early 90's. Add 10 years to that and you'll have people 35 and over to remember it from the 80's. But do you think, honestly, that there is anybody who will watch wrestling from before then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonworden Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 It would be awesome if they make the channel mostly using there video library, New B-Shows and post network showings of Raw and Smackdown. Â However with Entertainment being emphasised more than ever we are likely going to see shitty cooking programs, reruns of WWE films and possibly some other horrible network only stuff. Â I heard they want to show some PPVs on there to which would be cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew "the ref" coyne Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Personally I wouldn't think a straight forward repeat of shows would work. However having programs using old footage would work.  E.g.  Best of the WCW Cruiserweights The Career of Ric Flair Best of the Taker WM Victories Vince McMahons favourite moments in wwe history  etc etc  As long as they give a focus to each of the old footage, its could work brilliantly, especially if they use footage and create documentaries to support current WWE storylines.  What storylines would other people like see? I think a Monday Night War series would be ace! Each week would consist of footage from a specific weeks RAW and NITRO, showing the best from both and showing what the rating was for that specific show.

KillerTwist Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Doubt it will ever be available here, but I would subscribe to an internet stream of the service, providing it was on 24 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
