A question to those of you watching the WWE Network from outside the US: do you need to run a VPN service or similar to get it working?

I can't believe how much Hogan is still over, pretty badass pop he got at RAW. Just too bad they had him mention the WWE Network 50 times in a 3 min promo.

How does payment with PayPal work? Do you manually have to transfer money each month or what...? Never done a monthly subscription with PayPal before. Also, has anyone heard anything about future platforms? There's a WWE PPV app for my Samsung SmartTV currently, so I was kinda hoping they'd roll this out for it as well...

If WWE actually manages to sign Sting and plan to feature him in some form at WrestleMania, I will watch it just for that. But none - and I mean NONE - of the different rumored matchups interest me the slightest. Well, except for Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan - which now seems 100 % scrapped.

WrestleMania sounds boring. Boring, predictable matches with nothing new. Why do they never try anything fresh? Cena vs. CM Punk vs. The Rock The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar ...that, I would have watched.

Brilliant booking for the title match, bet noone ever saw that coming. So new and fresh. Very nWo-ish without being a carbon copy, bringing an identity of its' own. I'm impressed and happy to see my mod spurring imaginative writing like this. Keep up the good work.

Aces & Eights would have been far better had they been able to bring in better-known ex-WWE guys than Mike Knox and Luke Gallows. Why have TNA not signed John Morrison yet? Or MVP? Harry Smith would have been an asset as well, compared to a guy like Bischoff Jr.

I fixed your quote for you, you clearly made an accidental woopsie.

Yeah, they even made a documentary about this. McDonalds just had great lawyers and PR people that made her seem like the outrageous part.

So in other words, you think the offended people should sue soxfan93 for several million dollars?

Oh quit being a drama queen already, it was on THEIR OWN website.

Why? As soxfan93 points out: there's a spoiler warning in the *thread title* itself! It's not his fault that you and others want this thread to be something else than what the title itself clearly states that it is. If you have a problem, then don't go into the thread untill the show has aired. It is what it is. Simple as that.

I suppose you're right.

Maybe he wasn't brought up because he's not a big enough name for people to care. Maybe people simply expected someone a bit more interesting.

Brother Devon is the big revelation they could muster? lol

If CM Punk is to go up against an attitude era star at WrestleMania, it should be Steve Austin. Before it's too late for him to do anything.

The ladder match was good, but underwhelming. I had expected more, as this match was the only reason I watched the show. I may have had too high expectations going in though. I'm surprised to see how over Mr. Anderson and Jeff Hardy was, and dissapointed that the gifted competitors in the falls count anywhere match did not deliver more than what they did. It was decent, but nothing special. The tables match was nothing special either, but had a few good spots and told an interesting story. Also, James Storm really doesn't seem anywhere as over as the push he's getting is suggesting. Roode seems to have more going for him, and delivered a fine match against Aries - though I feel that it fell a bit flat due to a couple of previous matches being better. Oh, and why that Robbie E guy continues being used at all when they have people like The Pope sidelined is beyond me. He's horrible!

Match of the year? I'll need to watch this match for sure. Just as I was beginning to think that TNA couldn't do anything that would catch my attention anymore...

This post is #1 contender for the most silly post I have ever read on these boards.

I did, and you were right - watching how the crowd roared as he called for the Powerbomb was awesome. And he's in a pretty impressive shape as well, doesn't look his age. He wasn't quite as good as Vader, but no worse than half of WWE's current roster. I like what they're doing bringing in legends at the moment, it's fun.

First Vader and now Sid Vicious? Awesome! Could someone tell me how that match was? I'd rather not have to go several pages of Cena-gossip...
