Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted November 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Hey! Do you know how much effort it took for me to download the XB1 app in preparation for this launch? A lot. And now I have to delete it. Even more work!

Moderators PowerButchi Posted November 3, 2014 Moderators Share Posted November 3, 2014 WWE Network traded for UKFF to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted November 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2014 Has to be either some kind of weird broadcasting rule they haven't followed or most likely, Sky pulling rank. Â Feels like them delaying the launch initially to "talk to potential partners" then magically announcing they're launching without any "potential partner", only to cancel again, is some kind of grandstanding.

iMPACt! Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Another line has now been added - 'WWE would like to thank our fans in the United Kingdom for bearing with us.' Â Strange addition, still very vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted November 3, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2014 Nah, it's pretty obvious they had a deal with Moo to lease UKFF's server space to host the network, but it turned out more people wanted to post here instead.

Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted November 3, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2014 The uproar to them postponing the UK launch again on social media is fascinating. If you're to believe how much these people want the network, going fucking apeshit when it gets postponed, it baffles me as to why they haven't simply googled how to get past the geoblocking. It's not particularly hard. Because it's not sustainable on Android, or where you don't have control over DNS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) When did they announce it was going live in the UK? I honestly didn't know it was, until they cancelled it tonight and saw the uproar on Facebook. Have they made big noises about it going live, because I hasn't noticed. I remember them recently saying they were going live across the rest of the world, but I thought they made it clear this didn't include the UK just yet. How much was it supposed to be cost here in the UK from tonight? Edited November 3, 2014 by PunkStep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Onyx2 Posted November 3, 2014 Awards Moderator Share Posted November 3, 2014 It was over WWE.com in a special article, announced at last week's WWE Network numbers + earnings call, and all over the news sites. Even Regal tweeted about it this afternoon. Â It was priced at $9.99 ~ÂŁ6.25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Benno Posted November 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2014 $9.99. Announced and poorly promoted from Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted November 3, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted November 3, 2014 Well, that explains it then. No UKFF = no wrestling in my world. I'd probably miss Wrestlemania if this site was down at the time. Â Did they actually promote it using a price in $? That's shit promotion.

neil is brill Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I expect Raw next week to get hijacked when Trips & Steph come out and do their "and you can watch Survivor Series on the WWE Network for only $9.99" routine. Â Going by the mutant reactions, at least. Edited November 3, 2014 by neil is brill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
