WWE to Netflix, Network presumably doomed

[Cod Eye]

The big thing for me is the WCW stuff and classic WWF content.. 

Whenever I get bored with modern wrestling, which is fairly often, I will go back and watch something like WCW in order, or early 90's WWF instead. Hopefully I dont have to sail the high-seas for it from January. If so, it is what it is!

Yeah looks like I’ll never get around to them WCW 94/95 reviews I’ve been meaning to do since…pre-COVID after all.

The Network is free in the UK and Ireland until January.

Yeah I got the email today saying that my subscription had been cancelled, but that I could have access to it until the end of the year. It’s annoying that they’ve finally got the latest interface working on PS4 right when they’re shutting it down

It's only free to existing subscribers, but they are doing a special offer for 14 days for £4.99 (which presumably will be offered until mid-month.)

Currently watching (well, attempting to watch) a random ECW PPV as I try to enjoy my last month of Network life. 

Do videos still incessantly skip back for people, or just me? It has happened about fifteen times during this opening Steve Corino promo. I do not want a Steve Corino promo to last any longer than it needs to.

Cant say I’ve had the random skipping issue for a number of years. I’ll get the occasional bit of buffering or pixel drop-out, but that usually only lasts a few seconds

Searching for WWE now brings you placeholders for most PPVs (including defunct ones like In Your House), but no sign of WCW or ECW ones yet.

Must be my shitty luck then! To be fair, it only happens when I watch on my actual TV (not the laptop) and usually sorts itself out before too long, but it is quite frustrating and one of the things I won't miss about the Network when it's gone *sniff*.

SNME airing on YouTube next Saturday and not on the network.

That's shit, I don't watch WWE live so will be a horrific experience trying to watch it on replay on YouTube with ads every 5 minutes.

[DavidB6937]

I'm sure you'll find a way to Watch Wrestling without adverts.

[Doog]

Can't be arsed messing about with that, if I can't watch it quickly an easily on my TV i just won't bother.

I know, I'm old and it's not that much of a faff to hook up to watch wrestling, but it's still effort.

Looking at the WWE Vault channel on Youtube - the (excellent) CM Punk documentary went up the other day, and today it was the Paul Heyman documentary. I wonder if this is WWE  uploading all the things Netflix don’t want onto the Vault channel instead.

They have one for December to Dismember, what more do you want?

It looks like the yearly versions of each event will be put as "episodes" under each event name. If that's how it shakes out, I quite like that - feels a very clean way of sorting things.

Probably old news to most of you, but I've just seen that Royal Rumble is taking place in February next year, which has really upset me. That's just not right!
