WWE NETWORK!!!!!!!! So awesome!! Finally!!!! Exclamation points!!!!!!

[milamber]

<p><strong>Elimination Chamber Review:</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Rhodes Bros vs Rybaxel</strong> - Solid match. Would have been nice for Rybaxel to win.</p><p>

<strong>Bad News Barrett</strong> - BNB marathon. He's doing a good job with a stilly gimmick.</p><p>

<strong>Swagger vs Big E (IC Title)</strong> - Good long match that both guys really needed to help them get over.</p><p>

<strong>NAO vs The Usos (Tag Titles)</strong> - Fun match. Road Dogg arm-dragging Jey into the turnbuckle was a cool heel move. Should have at least been a DQ finish to set up a WM30 win for the Usos.</p><p>

<strong>Young vs Titus</strong> - OK match but too sloppy. Glad Titus went over.</p><p>

<strong>The Shield vs The Wyatt Family</strong> - Awesome MOTY Contender. I marked out for so many spots and I didn't mind either team winning! Everyone bought their A game but Rollins and Harper really stepped up. Even Rowan was better than usual. The crowd were electric and were rewarded for their enthusiasm.</p><p>

<strong>AJ vs Cameron</strong> - Love AJ's outfit. Watchable for the eye candy, AJ's trolling and Tamina superkicking AJ. But Cameron was sloppy.</p><p>

<strong>Batista vs Del Rio</strong> - Nice troll-job from Del Rio that got him some cheers. Match was OK. Batista sold well enough for Del Rio. I know people are unhappy but the negative crowds are making Batista's return </p><p>

even worse. Batista may suck on the mic but it's not like Rock was any better in the ring and Rock also got hotshotted into the main event (just not as quickly) and didn't get crapped on for it.</p><p>

<strong>Chamber Match (WWE Title)</strong> - Great match even with a predictable result and overbooked ending.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Verdict:</span></strong> One of the better PPVs in the last year. 3 quality matches, including an all-time classic between the Shield and the Wyatts. The rest was average. Batista vs Orton is going to crapped on if Bryan isn't inserted in the match and WWE know it. But if they don't think it'll tank the Network Subscriptions and buyrates they probably won't change their plans.</p><p> </p><p>

Site won't even let me register

<p>its working on my phone. Laptop was working but its down and xbox never would work because it wouldn't accept my wwe info.</p><p> </p><p>

JBL was blabbing on twitter about how he'll be on tv hyping this today. I suggested instead of Hogan they have Obama host WM30 since wwe apparently hired his company to host the network.</p><p> </p><p>

From what I saw, it was very cool but this shit shouldn't have happened launch or no launch. If people are flooding them to watch a world class show from 1982 (its actually available) what gonna happen on WM Sunday?</p>

Do you think online services like Netflix and Spotify started out amazing, with no issues? I've been with Spotify a long time, and it still has issues. It's day one, people are flooding it to see what is available, even those that know they won't be getting it are looking just so they can certify to themselves that it isn't for them. Come WrestleMania all the kinks will be ironed out, and it'll be running smooth. You could do the best possible polls and survey's to get an idea of the amount of traffic you'll receive on launch day, but you'll never be fully prepared.</p>

OMG...i can't get WWE Network...it's taking a lifetime to load the page and when it does, it takes a lifetime to get to the next section too...WTF?

I put in my email and password and it's saying it's the wrong email/password. Even though it's not! So I sign off my laptop thinking "maybe it's conflicting accounts that's causing the problem". Same "username/password not recognized" error pops up! </p><p> </p><p> No big deal, I'll just sign back in on my laptop. NOPE! Frozen and won't let me sign back in due to high demand! Argh!!</p><p> </p><p> ::bites fist::</p>

[mitsukaikira]

Because everyone in the world is using a fake address and clogging the servers.

[Jaysin]

Odd, WWE's Great American Bash shows are listed under WCW's pay per views.

Didn't they advertise that the Monday Night Wars show was supposed to be on here? Can't find it anywhere.

[shawn michaels]

So, answering my own question, I've seen some successfull cases of people ordering outside of the U.S. but still I'm not gonna order it now. Probably going to wait and see the initial reaction. Besides, if they don't improve their product until WM, there's really no point in me supporting their wallets when WM (at least right now) is not something I'm craving to see. They need to get their shit together before I can even think about buying.

[bigtplaystew]

Cool. Well I'm having a great time watching WWE and the network so... sucks to be you! I can't imagine hitting up a Looney Tunes message board and telling those people how much the product no longer appeals to me. But to each their own I guess.

[RKOwnage]

I'm not dying for the Network, probably gonna wait a bit for the initial roar to die down in a few days because I don't feel like dealing with all the inevitable launch problems. Definitely looking forward to getting it though.

[Jaysin]

I started watching WCW Sin(god it's awesome watching WCW pay per views on non VHS form!) and randomly got the itch to watch Wrestlemania X7. I about died when Paul Heyman called Chris Benoit an undefeated WCW Champion.
