Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2015 Actually a good idea, those videos were really well done I thought. One that stands out for me was the Kurt Angle one when he was returning later that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted March 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2015 I think WWE being stingy about music royalties is the reason you don't see all those brilliant video packages on the Network. Shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Look at episode 121 of Smackdown (December 13, 2001) on there... Has the Triple H U2 video been cut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 15, 2015 On a similar note, why have they dubbed over Slick/Twin Towers' theme in the Bret Hart's Dungeon Classics (or whatever it's called)? I assumed it might be due to licensing rights but they have the Slick video for the song on its entirety under the Quick Hits section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) It'll be a DVD issue. There's stuff they can't put on DVDs but can put on the network, but it still ends up dubbed on the network because they use the DVD master rather than going back to the original footage.

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted March 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2015 A mate signed up for the Network so his lad can watch Mania & he’s given me the login details. So far I’ve revisited a couple of PPV’s but the biggest win has been watching NXT, I started at the last NXT Takeover event & am now up to date. As a lapsed/casual WWE fan I think NXT is pretty much all I need from wrestling. The tight, 1hr format is ideal for me (3hrs of RAW feels like an endurance test) & the fact I’ve little to no preconceptions of any of the wrestlers made it feel really fresh. The biggest thing was that the commentary solely focuses on the show, references the matches taking place & moves the storylines along. Last time I watched RAW the commentary felt like a constant shill with the matches playing second fiddle to the sales pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted March 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 16, 2015 Yeah.. I'm loving NXT. Several of the characters feel a lot like the CAWs me and my friends used to make on the Smackdown games. I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse.

Paid Members JNLister Posted March 16, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted March 16, 2015 I'd skip the First Look preview of the Jericho set. It's five minutes of him getting into a limo, five minutes of him retelling a podcast story about the Wyatt cage match (in short, he jumped off the cage to prove something to himself but threw in a little Shawn Michaels homage) and then that match, which is already available on the Network on the relevant RAW.

Let's hope your friend's son isn't disappointed when he goes to watch Mania and the account is closed cos his dad broke the terms and conditions.

TheGoon Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 But you can have the network on as many devices you want cant you? So it makes no difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 You can only (theoretically) have one active at any given time though. So if both Little Jimmy and Dead Mike want to watch WrestleMania live (or even at the same time), they're fucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, NXT will have to go more that way too -- even though NXT fundamentally has nothing to constantly plug as it's already on the network, they need to train the commentators in that style if they're ever going to be any use to the main shows.

So it makes no difference T&C state if they suspect you of sharing login details they can close your account and take legal action. And yeh, 2 devices from different IP addresses at the same time is supposed to not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
