right now my internet bill pays for as much WWE as i can handle. The only way i would add another $120 a year to that.......would be if the service really works. Like flawlessly.
I had MLB TV. It was dope. When i watched it on my PC or Laptop. When i watched live games on my PS3, not so much. It was lag city. I had Hulu Plus. Again, on my PC and laptop....no problems. But I go to watch Hulu on my Wii U or PS3, and i run into issues.
I can't even watch Main Event on the WWE site w/o framerate drops and freezing.

Aww! It would of been complete with it!!! I'm not sure about this, but I dont think they could show live Raw or Smackdown without infringing on their deals with USA and SciFi. I could be wrong there. But also they may not want to either. Because if they offered Raw live on the network, people would be watching on the network and not USA, thus possible eventually causing a raitings drop which could also cause advertisers to stop paying for advertising during Raw. Again I could be completely wrong with all of that, but thats just the first reasoning that I could think of.

I know they mentioned ECW TV, but are old episodes of Raw and Nitro on this, as well? Some clarification on this: At launch, we'll have access to every WWE, WCW, and ECW Pay-Per-View event ever. TV content will be available at WWE's discretion. They say they'll release more of the catalog on a regular basis. I imagine this is so they can "feature" certain things at certain times, and also make sure people aren't entirely overwhelmed. So in short, no, not all of the TV episodes will be available out of the gate. We don't know exactly what, or how many will be available at a given time, or how frequently they'll add new ones.

TV deals are still a huge money maker. Raw and Smackdown aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Main Event, who knows.

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. I don't think they said anywhere that it's got the full Raw or Smackdown archive from launch... It's got all the PPVs, but I think the Monday Night Wars show might have Raw and Nitro both on the same night (as well as a documentary?) and then those episodes will be added to the archive each week. That's speculation on my part, but I think they are holding back the full TV archive for now so that they've still got something new to unveil in six months time when everyone's thinking "maybe I'll cancel my subscription until the Rumble."

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? I have internet access and wireless that's not a problem at all. The problem is I watch the PPV's with my dad so it has to be on the TV in the living room. My PC is to far away and doesn't have an HDMI connection. My PS3 is upstairs so that's no good and I don't use gold on my 360 so can't buy it on there. All that other stuff like smart TV, roku, apple TV etc we don't have and I'm not going to buy just for this. Why not just bring your PS3 downstairs for the PPVS and bring it back upstairs when your done? When my parents got divorced I always had to bring my Xbox back and fourth and it literally takes me 2 minutes to take apart or put together.

Sounds good. I'm hoping I or one of my close friends can get it so we can at least see the PPVs for cheap. Before we would buy a ton of PPVs and while it is not that expensive split 4 ways this is really cheap.

The real question is....Will the WWE still be releasing DVDs?

As a longtime subscriber to the Classics On Demand channel, this network is going to be everything I hoped for.....and more.
The price point is absolutely amazing. I was expecting a $14.99 price tag, but $9.99 is out of this world. I'm paying $7.99 a month for limited programming and I was always pleased with that. The price of this network is cheaper than a meal out at anywhere. But the amount of footage we are going to get is mind boggling. All of the WWE PPVs? I would of been happy with that. But you are going to give us WCW and ECW as well?
Hands down, the biggest selling point (for me) is the live PPV's included. I order one show a year (WM) and follow everything else online. If anyone orders two PPVs a year in HD, you basically just paid for the network right there. I know there will be people who still for whatever reason, throw money away, and just order the $50 PPV through their cable provider. So the WWE will still be making money off of that as well.
I like the ideas of the original programming. I have the NFL network, and they have their own top 10 show, which isn't bad, so I expect the Countdown show to be fun. I'm also glad we are FINALLY getting Legend's House.
I guess my only question is, what will the price be after 6 months? I'm hoping we can still get the $9.99 a month price tag, as I have no issue signing up for 6 months at a time.
I tip my hat to you WWE. You made a major move, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

It's strictly an online streaming service, and that's likely due in part to the fact that they couldn't garner enough interest from said companies to warrant having a physical network available with cable packages.

Yep, they get my $10 a month easily with this. I mean its basically a all wrestling netflix with an added scheduled programing stream. I dig it.

I'm sold...
But I PRAY that the interface works properly and is user friendly. I also pray that thy give us a search option for Match, Match type, Superstar, and Show/PPV. THAT would be the icing on the cake for me
