I just set my VPN to Dusseldorf, set up a new Network account with a different email, googled a matching Postcode (it never asked for more than this for the account or my billing address), paid by card and was good to go! Edit: And did it in a private window. Edited January 1, 2025 by CleetusVanDamme Quote
RIDDUM_N_STYLE Posted January 2, 2025 Posted January 2, 2025 I started watching one of the Top 10 countdown shows as a tester, it was Top 10 World title matches on Raw and so far it’s had on the Austin/Kane rematch from the night after KOTR 98, Triple H/Mankind from the night after Summerslam 99, the Big E cash in on Lashley, the Rollins/Zayn match from early last year and the Triple H/Michaels match in San Antonio with the fuck finish of both having their shoulders down Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 2, 2025 Paid Members Posted January 2, 2025 (edited) Turns out they’ve subtitled all the old catalog to not only include the commentators, but the wrestlers doing in-ring dialog during the matches too. So now Roman Reigns’ draft, melodramatic mid-match soliloquies are finally accessible to all. You assume Netflix has some type of crazy technology to do this. Surely it wasn’t some poor bastard’s job to sit through everything like A Clockwork Orange and type out anything they heard. If it is someone sitting and watching, stuff like this is extra funny. I might watch some current day John Cena matches to see if it types out all the spots Cena is loudly shouting. ”IRISH WHIP, TAKE THE HIPTOSS, DUCK THE CLOTHESLINE!” Edited January 2, 2025 by Supremo Quote
DavidB6937 Posted January 2, 2025 Posted January 2, 2025 Some poor sod: "oh I've been given the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever to subtitle! I'm so lucky!" Manager at the end of the week: "have you finished yet?" Poor sod: "no.. it's still going.." Manager: "okay well let me know as they've sent over some great Gargano/Ciampa matches next!" Quote

But of course I just so happened to watch that PPV with two mates who kept rewinding this bit and mercilessly ripping it. I probably stomped off crying to be honest. Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 2, 2025 Paid Members Posted January 2, 2025 Hopefully they get Earl’s “20 seconds, Rock” at the end of Taker/Kane vs Rock/Mankind/Shamrock, a rare clear catch of the ref telling the wrestlers to go home because they’re about to go off the air. Quote
SaitoRyo Posted January 2, 2025 Posted January 2, 2025 I'm gutted about losing the WCW, ECW and territory content, as well as documentaries and other WWE TV shows. However, I do have a mate giving me everything that was on the Network on an external hard drive within the next couple of weeks, so that will be handy. I have to say, one positive is that Netflix actually plays well on my TV, unlike the Network which could be a chore depending on what mood it was in. Quote

Absolutely smooth sailing. The big test will be the live broadcasts. I watched some of the NFL live on Christmas day and it was fine, so hopefully whatever issues Netflix had with the Tyson/Paul fight have been fixed. Quote

I know, I know, Netflix but live broadcast is different. Quote

They've said things will be available to watch immediately after live stream and downloadable a couple of days later. Quote

NeverYield Posted January 2, 2025 Posted January 2, 2025 Yeah I can't do the 1am starts no more, being able to watch when I'm back from work is a big plus. Quote
Dr. Alan Grant Posted January 2, 2025 Posted January 2, 2025 Subtitles is a godsend for someone like me who has subtitles on absolutely everything. Even entrance music has subtitles now. I had a look at a Raw from 1998 and finally learnt what they were saying in the theme song. “Too much dark and not enough sky, why am I the thorn in your eye” apparently. Who knew. Quote
DavidB6937 Posted January 2, 2025 Posted January 2, 2025 Good luck to whoever did Test's entrance. Test this is a test. Mnh mnh mhn codpiece. Quote
