I really wish this had worked out how they originally intended. Being a streaming service I have no way to even use it. You're possibly in the minority, to be honest. Streaming content means the ability to capture more audience, and therefore more revenue. Dollars and cents, my friend. |

For anyone who doesn't have Xbox or PS3/4 but wants to see it on a tv. Don't waste your money on a Roku, do it on your computer then get an HDMI wire and hook up your computer to the TV that you already have. That's what I do when I watch ROH and other indy promotions.
This network seems awesome

Loved it. Definite purchase for me. Worth the ppv's alone. now the count down until feb 24th will be torture I agree. This is what I hoped it would be and my wish came true  Quick question for anyone able to answer, does the service offer replays of full RAW and Smackdown episodes? |

I really expected the WWE Network to rape my wallet but $9.99/month? Getting every PPV live for that is worth it; all the other stuff is gravy. Count me in. I just hope this price sticks for a good long while and isn't a "free sample of crack the drug dealer gives you to get you hooked before jacking the price way up".

Don't know why we in other countries have to wait until the end of the year if it's all online/through apps.

Streaming content means the ability to capture more audience, and therefore more revenue. Dollars and cents, my friend. Guess so. I'll just have to stick to paying the normal price for the PPV's every month. |

I was expecting something like $29.99...I just hope they do not pimp slap us later. They DID have in the corner saying it was with a 6 month subscription so maybe the price goes up? I hope not. Meh. |

Here's a rundown for anyone who missed it and/or still has questions. I've just compiled everything I know here...
What Is It?
A 24/7, 365 dedicated streaming service featuring a slew of wrestling content from WWE's ridiculously large library. In addition to past and present TV shows and Pay-Per-Views, the Network will host several original programs (such as "Legends House")
How Much?
$9.99 per month, with a 6 month commitment/contract up front. No word on whether or not the service will be available without said commitment, and if so, how much it will be.
Does it Include Pay-Per-Views?
Yes! All of WWE's Pay-Per-Views, INCLUDING Wrestlemania will air LIVE on the streaming Network
Does It Include Weekly TV?
Superstars and NXT will air weekly on the Network. We can probably safely assume that replays of Raw, Smackdown, and Main Event will be made available on demand, though we don't know how quickly.
Will WWE still air on TV?
Yes! Raw, Smackdown, and Main Event will continue to air on USA, SyFy, and Ion, respectively. Nothing about the current set up will change.
Where Can I Watch It?
AT LAUNCH:
PC/Mac via WWE.com
iOS via WWE App
Android via WWE App
Xbox 360
Playstation 3
Playstation 4
Roku
Kindle Fire
Unnamed Device (WWE "couldn't talk about it" at the press conference)
COMING SOON:
Xbox One
Smart TVs
More
When Does It Launch?
The Network's On Demand Service (along with account registration) launches on Monday, February 24th, 2014 at 9:00am EST. The live programming begins the same day at 11:06pm EST, immediately following Raw.
How will it look?
The Network is capable of delivering all content in up to 720p
Other Cool Stuff
Many programs will have "second screen experience" that you can initiate on a secondary device (namely a smartphone or tablet) featuring superstar profiles, interviews, Twitter feeds, etc.
Most live programs have the ability to "start from the beginning" if you join the party late.
I'll continue to update this and feel free to share it. Does anyone have a list of countries available at launch and in the future? I wasn't paying much attention to that.

Don't know why we in other countries have to wait until the end of the year if it's all online/through apps. Sadly it still has to do with when countries are allowed to stream and distribute different forms of media. The same reason like, games and sh*t come out at different times throughout the world. |

buy a smart TV! cmon! where's your priorities!  Give me some money and I'll get right on it.  I see the dude's point - what if he doesn't have a wireless Internet connection in his home? I don't think everyone has streaming capability.... Although, I guess if he's posting on here, he must have access to SOMETHING..... My issue is, I don't have a gaming system, and my Blu Ray players don't allow you to add "apps" or channels....so I'm not sure how I'll get this awesome thing loaded so that I can watch it on TV.... so I'm reading up on Roku 3 right now, it actually sounds like the way to go.... about $98, no monthly fee (other than the $9.99 I'll pay for WWE)...... what is the catch? |

The Triple H hate is beyond sad now.
But anyway, I'm annoyed that this is US only for a while, would be awesome to have.

I don't mind the 6 month subscription, even if you only watch it occasionally you'll still get 6 months worth of PPVs for roughly the price of 1. |

Reminder. It's not 9.99 from start. 6 month comitment from start. Makes perfect sense...they wouldn't want people simply paying $10-20 with WrestleMania looming then quit the service immediately after the event. I'm looking forward to subscribing to it. |

Well my point was after the first six months are they going to jack up the price? Cable does that all of the time when package subscriptions end so I thought sadly they may do something like that. |
