The real question is....Will the WWE still be releasing DVDs? Of course they will but I've got to admit all this news and features that they're having it certainly makes my DVD collection unwanted.

How will it be better than Netflix? Because we will get live broadcasts of PPVs as well as a MASSIVE library. All WWE ECW and WCW PPVs That itself beats Netflix. Let alone the original programming. And the LIVE programming. Well that does sound pretty impressive.

As far as the way I understood it, every episode ever of Raw and SD will be on there, plus monday night wars which nitro came on after raw so I assume all nitro episodes will be on there as well eventually, maybe not at the start. I believe that the Monday Night Wars thing is like a show/documentary on the events that happened and not the full episodes themselves. If it's anything like it was on WWE 24 7/Classics On Demand, it will be a show that has an intro that briefly explains what's been going on in the Wrestling World at the time, then they show a FULL episode of RAW, followed by a FULL episode of Nitro. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And I guess it's only in the US for Launch. It won't be anywhere else until Later 2014, or Early 2015

I dunno, I always felt JR came across as condescending on there. I much preferred when Mean Gene would host. I think I preferred having Gene as the host and JR as a guest, but I love Gene so it's always better to see him. I thought JR provided insight and more of a historical background on what they were talking about. I think he comes across condescending because he cannot move his facial muscles and always looks like he is in a bad mood. I like him more as the guest as well. One thing I hated was when Flair was on. He ran through everyone and just talked about himself.

If they are able to execute this as well as they say, it is the best thing to ever happen for wrestling fans. I'm beyond impressed with this, and I think they'll have no problem making huge money from this. For the people who stream, it isn't even worth bothering now at this price. Hope the international market kicks in soon for those fans. Will be a really good tool to give younger fans a history lesson too.

Having JR as a guess was a plus.

I almost bought a few blu-rays yesterday and I stopped. If this thing is going to be anything like what it sounds like, I may not have to buy any physical copies. Unless at some point something is taken down that I really like, then I can just hit up ebay or something.

Mania 30 will be first ppv streamed. I am also curious as to how the ppvs will look and sound Thats such a ballsy move. I for sure thought they would have launched with Elimination Chamber to make sure everything runs smoothly and work out all of the kinks in time for WrestleMania. In all honestly, I will probably subscribe after Mania to see how it is Imagine if half of Mania is a " buffering" screen.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but I hope there's no issues spoofing our location and signing up/paying from outside the US, like with Hulu and Netflix. Given both of those services supported it, I hope WWE aren't doing anything fancy.

This sounds incredible. Can't wait until its available in the UK. Will have to see if there's a way of getting it earlier than next year if possible.

The catch is you are required to sign up for 6 months at a time sort of like a cell phone contract. You won't be able to just join for a month to watch WrestleMania and then cancel. Basically each time you renew you will be committing $60. Still a steal considering how much the ppvs cost for the year when purchased through cable or satellite. Well, at $9.99 per month..... I wonder if I can lock into a 5-year subscription! I'm pretty sure you'll only be able to sign up in 6 month cycles, no more and no less.

Will you be able to get iit the smart tv like you can with hulu and Netflix and hbo go Smart TV support is coming this summer. No word on which brands will be supported. Samsung is pretty much a lock, though, since WWE is already partnered with them.
