I just signed up a few minutes ago and I am blown away. This is NetFlix for wrestling fans.

The first search I did was for Andre The Giant and I found a clip from World Class Championship Wrestling from Texas from 1982. I clicked on it and it is a full show that is 46 minutes in length.

If you like older wrestling I would check this out.

With the membership you get access to all of their PPV's so this is a good value proposition. I won't spend $60 to watch one but I might tune in now that I can see it for part of my membership costs.

I watched the role out and they said they are starting with 1500 hours of content and will grow it to 100,000. This was a brilliant move by WWE to unleash the value of their video library.

    If Vince can make a buck, he'll make a buck. I signed up myself, growing up in the Mid Atlantic/Crockett area I never saw WWF, AWA, WCCW until on into the 80's. Didn't even see Georgia Championship Wrestling until 1982. So except for Youtube stuff, a lot of the older 70's - early 80's stuff will be new to me. I look forward to it. Have no problem paying Vinny for this.

    I joined but can't see any of the videos. It just spins and spins without coming on. I'm also getting media error. Video not available. Do I need to upgrade to something? I'm using Mozella Firefox. How do I upgrade it?
    Thanks

    It was working for the brief moment I tried it last night but this morning I had the same issue you did.

    I did turn on the Legends show that was live and that was cool. I am guessing they are overloaded with traffic and need to work out the kinks.

    For a mixed drink a month to get access to all of this I think it is a hell of a deal.

    Thanks. I will try again. I agree with the price. I'm not a big fan of the new stuff but I grew up in NC with Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling and with World Class in the 80's. I want to see all those old clips again that are not on youtube.

    Is it available on TV (like on Apple TV) or just the internet? I miss my old-school wrestling since they dropped WWE 24/7 from OnDemand.

    I really love the Legends Roundtable show - I hope that makes the move to the WWE Network.

    At this point I believe it is just the Internet or devices that can access it like Play Station 3. I heard that I believe in May the Apple TV will be able to access it as well.

    The show I was watching this morning was the Legends Roundtable.

    DPeck - make sure to watch every episode of it. Real inside stuff.

    Just checked Apple TV and saw the WWE icon. WooHoo!

    Edit to add - just signed up - a little light on content thus far.

    How long is the $9.99 special on for? I am going to sign up, but wait for the craziness to calm down a bit.

    That's not a special - that's the ongoing price. It'll be $9.99 a month but you sign up for 6-month blocks at a time.

    I know you are kidding but if you want to watch a funny special on Glow there is one on Net Flix right now.

    I just got home from the gym and tried to watch and it is working just fine now.

    Video #46 from WCCW.

    I watched a good amount of Wrestlemania 30 on the WWE Network until I got to tired and went to bed.

    This was one of the most insane moments I have ever seen in wrestling.

    It'll be interesting to see the Wrestlemania PPV numbers out, any news on WWE Network subscription numbers?

    667k have signed up. The market sold off the stock hard today. I read they were hoping for at least 750k already. The wild card will be how much they cannibalized their PPV numbers.

    What I saw of the the show was awesome.

    Want to give credit to the WWE network. I was worried all the viewers would cause problems for streaming Wrestlemania. Despite some sound issues on the preshow the main event went by without a hitch on my Roku. I also really enjoyed the hall of fame ceremony. If you have any interest in wrestling its ten bucks a month well spent.
