Taker/Triple H 2 will forever be tarnished thanks to the crapty dubbed over entrances. Theres a few other glaring ones as well. Yeah I completely forgot about that...both of those epic entrances should of been left intact. Especially since they used another Metallica song the next year for the Hell in the Cell Match and it wasn't dubbed over on the DVD/bluray release or on the Network (to my recollection). The WWE got lazy when uploaded most of their PPV's to the network. WrestleMania XXVIII is the same as the home video release of the event. Much like 'Mania XXVII was as well.

Still doesn't explain why they could use The Memory Remains for 28 and not For Whom the Bell Tolls and Ain't No Grave which we will undoubtedly see on the Raws leading up to 27 whenever that is released.

I've noticed a good chunk of the WrestleMania's on the network are taken from their home video releases. That could explain why some songs were kept intact and some weren't.

They make some odd decisions with things like that on the Network. I could assume they simply put up whatever version they find first or don't have to update at all.

They make some odd decisions with things like that on the Network. I could assume they simply put up whatever version they find first or don't have to update at all. After skimming through most of the WrestleMania's, I've noticed all of the following: - "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper was dubbed over from WrestleMania I. Strange considering it was kept intact on the Anthology version. - The Piper's Pit segment from WrestleMania V has the same edits featured on the Anthology. Meaning that the Piper's Pit segment from WrestleMania V is not in its entirely. - "Don't Go Messin' With A Country Boy" was dubbed over at WrestleMania III and 13 but was kept intact on the re-uploaded version of WrestleMania X-Seven - Salt 'N' Pepa's performing "Whatta Man" at WrestleMania XI was edited out. It was cut out on both Coliseum Video and Anthology versions - Roddy Piper's celebration at WrestleMania XII was edited out. Same edit featured on the Anthology version. - WrestleMania XV looks to be another edited version. It bogs my mind at some of the edits featured. - WrestleMania X8 is the same as the original 2002 DVD release. On like live airing of WrestleMania X8, any Forceable Entry adverts said "Available March 26th". - WrestleMania 21 is the same as the 2005 home video release. There are many more edits that was made on the network that would take a lot of time for me to list the majority of them.

Finally on the Finale of Tough Enough. I find it interesting that 4 of the final 5 were signed.
It's even more amazing to think Josh was the longest tenured of the group (Unless Nowitzski still works with them on the concussions or whatever it was he was doing), it really shows how much passion he had for the business. I almost wish he got a chance to actually work.
That was a special group of people IMO. I really felt like all 5 could have done something in the company where as most seasons theres usually only one or two of them that seem like they can do it.

I found interesting in the Black History Month section that they have Bobo Brazil, Ernie Ladd and Tony Atlas's Hall of Fame speeches. That gives me a little bit of hope that we might see every Hall of Fame induction, including pre WMXX ones on the Network soon.

It would be a wise move for the WWE to upload all of their Hall of Fame induction speeches. I know a lot would be interested to see the earlier ones. I am glad that a person like yourself shows immense interest in old-school wrestling.

I am glad that a person like yourself shows immense interest in old-school wrestling. Thanks. I'm interested in seeing anything that I haven't already watched before. The Attitude Era stuff that the Network puts a lot of, I could simply go to my older brother and ask him to let me borrow countless episodes since he has a collection of shows from '96-'05. The 80's stuff, the territory stuff, I have never seen before and I'm a nut to learn about any wrestler or any promotion that was around. That's why I would complain how they stopped uploading the old school live events, cause that's some of the content I was mostly interested in watching. In terms of the Hall of Fame inductions, it would make perfect sense to upload all of them around Wrestlemania Week. The only ones I haven't watched were the pre WMXX Hall of Fame inductions and the Hall of Fame in 2004 since the rest of them were either shown on the USA Network or released along with the Wrestlemania DVDs

I do enjoy your desire to seek out footage that happened before you were born. Now that I got my answer, I understand you more now, than before. Switching gears for a moment, I enjoy the fact the building that houses my high school is featured on some of the Madison Square Garden PPV's as well as both One Night Stand PPV's. While the September 11th, 2006 RAW is not on the network (the WWE should have added it last year), I remember taking a walk after school and seeing the WWE's production trucks parked on the 33rd Street side of MSG.

I was a subscriber to the WWE Network and decided to cancel my subscription after a few months due to lack of interest. Don't get me wrong, I love some of the programs such as "Monday Night Wars" and "Countdown", but "Monday Night Wars" is now over, and I really have no interest in the new roster and current storylines. My allegiance died with the Attitude Era.
Anyway, I received an email from WWE Network yesterday saying that if I return to WWE Network, February will be FREE and I can watch the Fastlane PPV for nothing. I'm no fool so I sign up again to take advantage of the free month!
As soon as I sign up again for the free month, guess what I get in my gmail inbox?...
A receipt for $9.99 where I signed up for the WWE Network again! Free February my ass! I sign up for a free month, and as soon as I do, the WWE Network charges my debit card! What bullcrap! Looks like I will be on the phone with the WWE Network again Monday morning.
I don't know about anyone else, but the last time I cancelled my network subscription, my bank account was charged three more times and it took repeated calls to my bank to fix it... Now they are charging me for a "free month"?! I'm sick of it.

I've never heard this happening to anyone else. I'm won't be unsubscribing anyway, even if sometimes I do only watch the monthly PPV.

Gotta read the fine print. Free February for first time subscribers.

It could be an authorization hold.

"Come back to the WWE Network and get the month of February for FREE"
"Your WWE Network subscription has been cancelled. Come back to the WWE Network and receive the month of February, plus the all new WWE PPV event "Fast Lane" for free"
I don't see how it could get much plainer than that!

They said it themselves and you just quoted them. "Come back to the WWE Network and get the month of February for FREE" They're billing you for March so that people arent just getting the Network for February and cancelling once the month is over. Thats how I see it anyway.

"Will not be billed until March 1, 2015"
Did I sleep through February?! How did March get here so quickly?!

Even after I originally cancelled my subscription, and was paid in full, they tried to charge my debit card two more times! I had to call my bank three times to tell them not to let the Network charge my account anymore. That famous "$9.99" changed to them trying to charge me $29.97 for a cancelled subscription! Shady...

The Free Month is bullcrap, I got charged the last time they were offering the free month and never got my $10 bucks refunded back.
