I recently downloaded a few ECW shows from 1995... but stopped watching it for the same reason I stopped watching indy wrestling. In the wake of the Benoit tragedy, I'm just too uncomfortable watching unprotected head shots.

After watching Beyond the Mat I've become uncomfortable watching unprotected head shots aswell, especially after watching the Mick Foley Vs The Rock I Quit match at the 99 Royal Rumble. That was brutal and then I watched the other night Mick Foley Vs Edge at WM 22 again and straight off the bat(pun not intended) Foley get's I think three shots to the head within the first five minutes of the match.

I seriously can't explain how he is still functioning after all these years of abuse in the ring.
 
i wish theyd put more effort in to getting the tv shows up in order. although theyve uploaded more ecw and world class tv theres still no consecutive episodes.

ive spent most of my time on there so far watching random matches from late 80 early 90s wcw, with the occasional full ppv.

This is what's stopping me from getting it... yeah, there's some good stuff out there already, but why face inevitable disppointment knowing beforehand the network does not (yet) have everything you're after....
 
Had a crack at WCW Souled Out 1997 last night, which had a baffling 'NWO girl' segment where Bischoff picked a bad girl to represent the group, I guess. Logic would dictate they'd get some models, dress them in leather and denim and put them on Harleys. But they apparently got real bikie chicks from the local area and most of them were rough as guts and all were camera shy.

The interviewer was feeding them lines like 'what would you do to impress the boys after a big match?' and they'd just say 'whatever it takes!' when pressed for a more detailed response they'd just sit there smiling nervously.

The highlight was a lady who was pushing 50 and couldn't hear a word the interviewer said. She just sat on her bike with a confused look on her face asking him to repeat himself.

The segment ended with Bischoff pashing a frumpy woman and giving her flowers and a tiara while Ted DiBiase bragged that this is how the NWO rolled. Can't blame DDP for declining their offer to join them tbh.
 
got everything working!

Ps3 however, 'fatal error' when I try watching videos, what's happening? help please!!

Have you got unblock? You'll need it to watch from PS3.

Also....

Notwithstanding the overwhelmingly positive response to WWE Network, we want to ensure subscribers have the highest-quality experience watching WrestleMania 30 and all our programming, and thus have put in place significant quality assurances. These steps include increased capacity to handle high volumes of transactions, logins, and concurrent live streams, daily ‘stress’ testing of all systems over an extended period, and the addition of technology experts to review our plan and procedures. We’re confident that we’ll be ready on Sunday, April 6.”

All things that could and should have been done beforehand like I suggested.
 
I'm using getflix, where I went wrong with my PS3 connection was I only put in one (same one twice) IP address from the US when it required two. Once I placed the two closest IP addresses to my house it worked beautifully.

It's really a great program, I have all the access to every PPV I ever wanted. I want to see them upload the seasons of Raw and Nitro. I think the Network lacks that depth, you can watch the great matches off PPV, but Raw and Nitro have some epic moments that can't be accessed.

WWE sent fans a survey this week trying to gauge interest in new reality shows for the WWE Network, asking them to rate their interest in each idea, and answer whether any of them would increase the likelihood of a future subscription to the Network.

Here are the proposed ideas, with descriptions from PWInsider.net:

Blackman's Bounties – Former WWE star and legit badass Steve Blackman reality series following his bounty hunting team based out of Harrisburg, PA. Think Dog the Bounty Hunter.

NXT: Behind the Scenes – A reality series following the talents trying to make it out of the Performance Center and to the main roster, looking at their work, their personal lives and the fraternity of the NXT brand, including the heartbreak of being cut. So, it's Tough Enough-esque.

Pros vs. Joes – Pretty much the same as the old SpikeTV series, pitting WWE talents against an average person in physical and non physical challenges. The non physical challenges listed included an air guitar competition. The physical challenges were described as similar to American Gladiators.

WWE Around the World – Following WWE talents taking part in some of the scariest stunts and attractions around the world, such as shark diving and eating strange foods. It read as if it was modeled after some of the Travel Channel's "Extreme" specials with a dash of Anthony Bordain's No Reservations.

WWE Dirty Jobs – Just like the Discovery Channel reality series of the same name, WWE talents have to perform unpleasant jobs, including going into Chicago sewers and picking up garbage in NYC.

WWE Prankdown – a practical joke show that features WWE talents pulling tricks on unsuspecting "Superfans." The example given was John Cena and Randy Orton both wanting to buy an expensive car and getting into a fight at the dealership, only to show the damage they caused was part of the show to trick the fan.

WWE Rescue – a reality show where WWE talents come to the homes of "super fans" help them with their personal and business problems. Think Restaurant Impossible meets Nanny 911.

WWE Ultimate Challenge - WWE's version of CBS' Amazing Race with a 12 hour extreme scavenger hunt in different cities.

Xtreme WWE Collector – Starring "Super fan Michael Patterson" – basically a WWE version of Travel Channel's Toy Hunter, except Patterson is chasing WWE toys and memorabilia.
The Steve Blackman and NXT shows could be quite interesting, the collector one might be alright too.
 
So how's everyone who has it enjoying it?

I've been watching all the countdowns and documentarys. Really enjoy Legends of Wrestling aswell even though Michael Hayes annoys the shit out of me.

"Hey everyone, welcome to the Slam Jam. I'm handsome Dok Hendrix (feels his cheeks) and our next Pay Per View extravaganza, In Your House, is next Sunday, and what a line up of matches we have in store for you..."
